#BassirouDiomayeFaye I'm curious how succesful the approach to "replace French as [#Senegal]'s official language" is this time – when parliamentary debates are still being held in #Wolof but logged in French. When kids are still instructed with a foreign language from elementary school days on.
#Senghor or #Wade also came up with ideas and dropped them upon sight on power.

A radical vision of prehistory, which Geroulanos charts, emerged in the unlikely world of Roman Catholicism.
It was crafted by the French Jesuit priest ⭐️Pierre Teilhard de Chardin⭐️who spent the 1920s and 1930s digging in Zhoukoudian, China, where paleontologists believed they had discovered the bones of the first humanlike hominid (known at the time as the “Peking Man” and now cataloged as Homo erectus).In a stream of idiosyncratic texts, Teilhard claimed that all matters, both physical and spiritual, were equal parts of God’s cosmic unity.
No element or creature was superior to another: Humans, fish, and clouds were linked in one destiny.In Teilhard’s telling, this meant that humanity’s emergence in prehistoric times (against the church’s formal position, he accepted evolution theory) was but a passing stage in the world’s broader progression.
Rather than being God’s chosen species, who could mindlessly plunder the globe’s resources,
humans had to put their unique ability to think and speak in the service of their surroundings.Teilhard optimistically prophesied that humanity would ultimately be superseded when all existence would converge in what he called “the Omega point.”
At that stage, all creatures would achieve a mystical unity with God and overcome their limitations.All of this is abstract and fantastical, but Teilhard’s ideas resonated with readers who hoped to create a more just and equal world.
Many thinkers, politicians, and activists found in his narratives of humanity’s genesis a way to imagine new solidarities (and they subverted the Vatican’s ban on his works by printing and circulating them privately).
As historian Sarah Shortall has recently shown, the most important of those was 🔸Léopold Sédar Senghor, 🔸the anti-colonial and anti-racist poet who rose to become Senegal’s first elected president.
Senghor, who was also a devout Catholic, claimed that Teilhard’s work offered a new horizon beyond racism and exploitation.
It explained how humanity’s deep past could lead it toward “a new humanism,” in which “all races” and “all nations” lived as equals.
More recently, with the onslaught of climate change, environmentalists have drawn on Teilhard to articulate a vision of a sustainable future.
For them, his narration of humanity’s origins explains what we owe the world around us.
Rather than a separate species, we can understand ourselves as equal members in a vast and diverse biosphere.

From #preserving #Africa's #cultural #heritage to the era of #Artificial #Intelligence
In 2017, the special issue of the #British #magazine The #Economist #announced on the cover that the most valuable resource was now data. This echoed the phrase “data is the new oil”, formulated in 2006 by data scientist Clive Humby.In 2018 James Bridle clarified that data is not the new oil but the new nuclear energy in that it is unlimited and in its capacity to cause harm (1) .
In fact, since the 1960s, the following terms have come and gone at a rapid pace: data base, datawarehouse, databank, datamining, datamart, data store, big data, data lake, dataset, all #Anglo-Saxon sounding terms with sometimes more or less successful attempts at translations into other languages.
But since the dawn of time, data has been the basis of #communication and the transmission of #knowledge between #humans, which evolved in four stages, oral, written, printed and digital.
Africa?
The African enjoys less of the advantages of being connected to the rest of the world than he suffers the #disadvantages. On a #cultural level, today's young African is likely to know more about the #British #Empire than about the Empire of #Ghana. He is more likely to have heard of #Napoleon #Bonaparte than of #Sundiata #Keita, the founding king of the great empire of #Mali. He will certainly have heard of #Elon #Musk as the richest man on the planet, but not of Mansa Musa, king of Mali in 1312 and probably the richest man who ever lived. And if he heard of #Léopold #Cedar #Senghor or #Félix #Houphouët-Boigny it will surely be thanks to the #Western #Media Through their prism.
