Urban life-worlds in motion: In Africa and beyond
(2010)
-
Hans Peter Hahn
- Although throughout the history of anthropology the ethnography
of urban societies was never an important topic, investigations on cities
in Africa contributed to the early theoretical development of urban studies in
social sciences. As the ethnography of rural migrants in towns made clear,
cultural diversity and creativity are foundational and permanent elements of
urban cultures in Africa (and beyond). Currently, two new aspects complement
these insights: 1) Different forms of mobility have received a new
awareness through the concept of transnationalism. They are much more
complex, including not only rural–urban migration, but also urban–urban
migration, and migrations with a destination beyond the continent. 2) Urban
life-worlds also include the appropriation of globally circulating images and
lifestyles, which contribute substantially to the current cultural dynamics of
cities in Africa. These two aspects are the reasons for the high complexity of
urban contexts in Africa. Therefore, whether it is still appropriate to speak
about the “locality” of these life-worlds has become questionable. At the
same time, these new aspects explain the self-consciousness of members of
urban cultures in Africa. They contribute to the expansive character of these
societies and to the impression that cities in Africa host the most innovative
and creative societies worldwide.

African studies – striving for integrated information services: Recent developments in Germany and Europe
(2010)
-

- New projects, services and collaborations have recently brought the infrastructural services for African Studies a big step forward. This report gives an account of new subject gateways and digitisation projects. It discusses recent European cooperation ventures in the field of librarianship. Additionally, new developments and services of the Africa Collection at Frankfurt University Library are presented, which help to address the changing needs of researchers and to handle information overload, while keeping up with the latest developments. Nevertheless, the fragmentation and compartmentalisation of the different services still hinder more integrated information services.

Focus expressions in Yom
(2006)
-
Ines Fiedler
- This paper deals with the means for expressing the pragmatic category of focus in Yom, which is an Oti-Volta language of the Yom-Nawdem group spoken by about 74,000 people (Gordon 2005, online version) in the department of Donga in Northern Benin. The study is based on results of my field research carried out in March/April 2005 in Djougou (Benin), within the framework of the project “Focus in Gur and Kwa languages”. Main aim of this fieldwork was to study the expression of focus in Yom. Regarding the basic grammatical structure of the language, I mainly rely on various publications by Beacham (1969, 1991, and 1997).
