Murphy, DervlaMareMagnum

Cameroon with Egbert

1990Their most recent sojourn took them to Africa for the first time, where Murphy, eighteen-year-old Rachel and a Fulani stallion called Egbert spent three unpredictable months following ludicrously inaccurate maps leading them from village to village in Cameroon. Although they spoke none of Cameroon's 300 or so languages, the Murphys enjoyed the hospitality of the local people and numerous village chiefs--some with as many as 250 wives--as they made their way through the highlands, where Europeans were first seen fewer than ninety years ago. They camped in the uncannily depopulated Gangdaba Mountains, which soon broke their nerve; during their stay in the breathtaking Mbabo Mountains, they had the chance to observe the indigenous wildlife--warthogs, antelope, baboons, and colobus monkeys.

Camerun digitale. Produzione video e disuguaglianza sociale a Douala

2020br. L'Africa sta attraversando una vera e propria rivoluzione digitale. I giovani, tenuti ai margini in società fortemente gerontocratiche, sono i protagonisti indiscussi di questa trasformazione. Come la diffusione di nuove tecnologie interseca forme radicate di diseguaglianza ed esclusione? Questo libro affronta la questione dalla prospettiva dei giovani di Douala, la capitale economica della Repubblica del Camerun, attraverso l'analisi della loro produzione di video di fiction. Immergendosi nel mondo sociale dei cineasti, il volume ricostruisce le caratteristiche di una pratica mediatica ambigua, allo stesso tempo fonte di riscatto e segno di marginalità, che accende i riflettori sulla condizione di esclusione dei giovani camerunesi, riuscendo a tratti ad alleviarla.
