Rose-Eliane N’diaye Résumé Comme les marques commerciales, les pays ont besoin, plus que jamais, de mettre en place de véritables campagnes de communication pour conquérir de nouveaux investisseurs et susciter dans notre imaginaire des représentations positives. La course aux investisseurs, pour attirer les capitaux sur les territoires, est féroce pour toutes les nations dans notre contexte de crise financière mondiale. Le nation branding est un concept qui permet de répondre en partie à cette problématique, en proposant des outils stratégiques destinés à créer de nouvelles représentations ou renforcer celles existantes. La problématique des villes d’Afrique de l’Ouest nous intéresse en particulier, car nous avons intégré cette année le département de la communication du World Trade Center Dakar (WTC Dakar). Ce centre d’affaires international est une filiale de la World Trade Center Association (WTC basée à New York). La société sénégalaise propose des prestations de services pour soutenir les acteurs économiques sénégalais et encadrer les potentiels investisseurs souhaitant s’implanter sur le territoire et/ou en Afrique de l’Ouest. Dans ce mémoire de recherche, nous exposons le constat suivant : les capitales de cette région du monde souffrent encore d’une image négative auprès de potentiels investisseurs, elles ne parviennent pas à valoriser les opportunités d’affaires qu’elles détiennent. Le Sénégal est un pays qui s’inscrit dans ce paradoxe d’image projetée et d’opportunités multisectorielles. Dans notre étude, nous tenterons de répondre à la problématique qui suit : comment, d’une part, faire sens à travers des supports de communication écrits auprès des investisseurs étrangers et, d’autre part, capitaliser sur l’implantation du World Trade Center Dakar ? Quels sont les outils sémiotiques de la sémiotique sur lesquels nous pouvons nous analyser les outils de communication proposés ? Abstract Like trademarks, countries need more than ever to establish real communication campaigns in order to win new investors and stimulate our imagination with positive representations and powerful symbols. Indeed, the race to "investors" to attract capital in the territories is difficult for all nations in our context of financial and global crisis. The Nation Branding is a concept that allows a partial response to this problem of cities. Offering strategic tools to create new representations or strengthen existing ones for example through media written or oral communication with key messages and qualitative image objectives. The problems of cities in West Africa particularly concerns us because we work in the Department of Communication of the Dakar World Trade Center (WTC Dakar). This international business center is a subsidiary of the World Trade Center Association (WTCA-New York). The company provides services to support the Senegalese economic actors and help potential investors to locate on Senegalese territory or in West Africa. In this research we focused on this following statement: this region is suffering from a negative image to potential investors. The countries fail to enhance the business opportunities that they had. The concept of Nation Branding has already demonstrate it can be a key to "create" new symbols and positive representations. In our study we try to answer to the following problem: how to enhance the image of the city of Dakar to potential investors and capitalize on the implementation of the World Trade Center Dakar ? What are the tools of the Nation Branding we can use to build key messages that make sense to this target ?

Between the 1970s to the 1990s, they were instrumental to The Gambia’s politics. Yet they have held no political power within its government. This paper argues that, since authorities failed to serve women’s interests, Gambian women resorted to using collective action to overcome their challenges through kafoolu and kompins [women’s grassroots organizations] operating in the rural and urban areas. They shifted their efforts towards organizations that focused on social and political change. These women’s organizations grew significantly as they helped women to promote social and economic empowerment. The women cultivated political patronage with male political leaders to achieve their goals. Political leaders who needed popular support to buttress their political power under the new republican government cash in patronage. Thus, this study relies on primary data from oral interviews. Secondary sources such as academic journals, books, and policy reports provide context to the study. Keywords Collective action, struggle,

I took twenty hours of voice lessons from a griot teacher in Pout, Senegal, with the intention of acquiring a rich knowledge of Wolof vocal music and the skills to perform for an audience. My Wolof teacher, Nar Diop, taught me seven songs by ear throughout our six classes together. In addition to perfecting, memorizing, and preparing for a final performance piece, I translated the lyrics of each song into English and French in order to analyze their content and investigate their origins and significance to Senegalese culture. Introduction: My initial attractions to this project stemmed from my passion for singing and my desire to find and commit to an independent study that would only be feasible in Senegal. Certain types of research can be conducted anywhere in the world if the resources are available.

    Mbalax: Cosmopolitanism in Senegalese Urban Popular Music Timothy Roark Mangin Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Timothy Roark Mangin All rights reserved ABSTRACT Mbalax: Cosmopolitanism in Senegalese Urban Popular Music Timothy Roark Mangin This dissertation is an ethnographic and historical examination of Senegalese modern identity and cosmopolitanism through urban dance music. My central argument is that local popular culture thrives not in spite of transnational influences and processes, but as a result of a Senegalese cosmopolitanism that has long valued the borrowing and integration of foreign ideas, cultural practices, and material culture into local lifeways. My research focuses on the articulation of cosmopolitanism through mbalax, an urban dance music distinct to Senegal and valued by musicians and fans for its ability to shape, produce, re-produce, and articulate overlapping ideas of their ethnic, racial, generational, gendered, religious, and national identities. Specifically, I concentrate on the practice of black, Muslim, and Wolof identities that Senegalese urban dance music articulates most consistently. The majority of my fieldwork was carried out in the nightclubs and neighborhoods in Dakar, the capital city. I performed with different mbalax groups and witnessed how the practices of Wolofness, blackness, and Sufism layered and intersected to articulate a modern Senegalese identity, or Senegaleseness. This ethnographic work was complimented by research in recording studios, television studios, radio stations, and research institutions throughout Senegal. The dissertation begins with an historical inquiry into the foundations of Senegalese cosmopolitanism from precolonial Senegambia and the spread of Wolof hegemony, to colonial Dakar and the rise of a distinctive urban Senegalese identity that set the proximate conditions for the postcolonial cultural policy of Négritude and mbalax.

Chapel Hill 2013 Approved by: Christopher T. Nelson Lawrence Grossberg Louise Meintjes Renee Alexander Craft Michael Palm © 2013 Ali Colleen Neff ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Ali Colleen Neff: Generation “Fly to Fly”: Urban Transformation, New Cosmopolitanism, and the Politics of Women's Voicing in Dakar, Senegal (Under the direction of Christopher T. Nelson and Lawrence Grossberg) The research from which this dissertation is drawn was conducted in 2009-2012 with women vocalists and other cultural and religious practitioners throughout the region of Dakar, Senegal, rural sites in the Sine-Saloum Delta, and the inland Sufi pilgrimage sites of Touba and Prokhane. Using a series of ethnographic methodologies, I approach the phenomenon of Dakroise women’s sounding through the amplifier of media anthropology, in which sound, sensation, and indigenous discourses on culture and the arts illuminate contemporary Senegalese cultural practice. These contexts evidence the specific, cumulative ways in which music works for the women of Dakar. At the same time, I examine the broader current sociopolitical conjuncture at work on Senegalese culture, in which a global economic crisis, the mass migration and emigration of Senegalese young people, new movements in international Islam, and national political and legal strife shape the dimensions of women’s creativity.

    LEARNING CULTURE THROUGH A MUSICAL PRACTICE WITH MANDING JALIS IN NEW YORK A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Lisa Karen Feder May 2007 © 2007 Lisa Karen Feder LEARNING CULTURE THROUGH A MUSICAL PRACTICE WITH MANDING JALIS IN NEW YORK Lisa Karen Feder, Ph.D. Cornell University 2007 This study depicts the music and culture of Manding jalis in New York through the perspective of non-African New Yorkers who interact with them. The non-Africans, the author included, move through the cross-cultural learning process as they attend live jali musical performances and learn to play and perform this music themselves. Jali refers to a person born into a particular caste and specific family lineage in the Manding region of West Africa. In Western literature, jalis are described as musicians, singers, oral-historians, advisers, diplomats, ceremony participants, teachers, and bards, among other things (Hale 1998; Charry 2000; Hoffman 2000). This dissertation depicts jalis who play the balafon, the kora, and the guitar in New York. Up to date, there is almost no literature on the topic. The author applies Gregory Bateson’s notion of cultural “ethos,” construed as schismogenic balances of tension and resolution, to both musical and non-musical social aspects of culture (Bateson 1972). Meter and rhythm create tensions and resolutions in people’s minds and bodies, giving them a common frame of reference. Simultaneously, participation in music exposes our cultural proclivities.
