To develop its mission, APAD has created an institutional membership status for research, high education and development institutions in the North and South that are interested in APAD’s contribution to research in the socio-anthropology of social change, development and public action.
This status gives these institutions the opportunity a) to be part of an international network involving dozens of institutions and hundreds of researchers in the North and South; b) to support research on development and social change in the Global South ; and c) tocontribute to North/South exchanges in terms of research training. The institution’s involvement is posted on the APAD website.
It allows members of the member institution to become a member of APAD free of charge, to receive news from the association and the journal (in pdf format) as soon as it is published, and to benefit from reduced registration rates for APAD conferences.

Pour ce deuxième séminaire de recherche organisé par l’Association pour l’anthropologie du changement social et du développement (APAD), nous recevons M. Kalfelis qui présentera une communication sur “Vigilante Politics and the Intimate Life of Crime in Burkina Faso”.
Abstract: Cette présentation examine les pratiques des groupes d’autodéfense en matière de restructuration de la criminalité et de la violence dans les zones urbaines du Burkina Faso. En me concentrant sur la façon dont les groupes d’autodéfense koglweogo gèrent les prisons et font la médiation des conflits autour de la criminalité, j’analyse leur tentative d’arrêter les pratiques criminelles et de réconcilier les parties au quotidien. En m’éloignant des compréhensions étatiques et culturelles du vigilantisme pour me concentrer sur le caractère intime de la criminalité, je montre comment les groupes d’autodéfense contribuent au changement social en l’Afrique de l’Ouest contemporaine.
Melina C. Kalfelis is a Junior Professor in Social and Cultural Anthropology with a Focus on Social Belonging at the University of Bayreuth. Her research deals with North-South relations in transnational architectures of security and development as well as everyday politics of vigilance in Burkina Faso and France.
