| Tóm tắt: | This paper examines African studies in France through the case of the Formation à la Recherche en Afrique Noire (FRAN), an interdisciplinary training program which, from 1969 to 1983, used collective fieldwork in rural France as a tool to transmit and study the practice of africanisme. This study of the FRAN, conducted through an analysis of interviews, documentary and archival sources, sheds light on this period in the history of French African studies, as well as the way in which these fieldwork training practices were influenced by the ambiguous relationship between France and her former African colonies. |
