Urban Languages in Africa
In: Africa Spectrum, Band 45, Heft 3, S. 11-42

Against the backdrop of current research on the city, urbanity is understood to be a distinct way of life in which (in the spatial, factual and historical dimensions) processes of densification and heterogenization are perceived as acts of sociation. Urbanization is thus understood to include and produce structuration processes autonomously; this also includes autonomous linguistic practices, which are reflected as sediments of everyday knowledge in language and thus create the instruments needed for facilitating and generalizing such urbanization: urban languages. In this conceptual context, which looks at cities in Africa from the point of view of language sociology, two large phases of urbanization can be distinguished in Africa. The first phase is related to trade networks and cultural metissage of small groups of middlemen. The second phase, characterized by efforts to deal with Africa's colonial history and to catch up with "the world", presses ahead with the development of an autonomous, authentic modernity. The reconstruction of the development undergone especially by the more recent urban languages raises questions about the connotations of urbanization and modernization in contemporary Africa: on the one hand, dissociation from colonial legacies as well as from the postcolonial political elites, impotent administrations, and tribalist instrumentalizations of language and language policies; on the other, quite the reverse -- the creation of autonomous African modernities that include the city (and the state), brought about by the interplay of both local dynamics and global flows. Adapted from the source document.
Popular media for HIV/AIDS prevention? Comparing two comics: Kingo and the Sara Communication Initiative
In: The journal of modern African studies: a quarterly survey of politics, economics & related topics in contemporary Africa, Band 44, Heft 4, S. 513-541
ISSN: 1469-7777
This paper draws attention to some assumptions implicit in HIV/AIDS communication or prevention campaigns which use popular culture media, in this instance comics. Theoretically the analysis is placed in a framework of popular culture as the arena of negotiations about claims over hegemonic discourses. Methodologically the internal logics of a local Swahili comic from the magazine Kingo and of a comic from the Sara Initiative in Swahili (UNICEF-ESARO) are explored through a comparative textual analysis, focusing on differences and convergences in the use of dramaturgy and characterisation of the protagonists. The transformations of locally known comic characters and the differences in dramaturgical strategies are made visible in the comparison, exposing the communicative, historical and social underpinnings of both comics. It is argued that as long as these preconditions of the international campaigns, as well as of local popular culture production are not thoroughly explored, hegemonic Western claims of knowledge of HIV/AIDS will be rejected by African people (and why not?). The paper recommends that prevention design allow for 'moments of freedom' understood 'as the potential to transform one's thoughts, emotions and experience into creations that can be communicated and shared' (Fabian 1998).
