    Authors
    Larabi Jaïdi
    April 5, 2023
    Davantage qu'un acte de piété personnelle, le Ramadan est un phénomène éminemment social. Il renvoie à des dimensions complexes : de religion, de solidarité, d’éthique et aussi d’économie.

Mais, plus que religieux (qui renvoie à l'institutionnalisation et l'objectivation), le Siyam est un fait spirituel (qui renvoie davantage à l’individuation et la subjectivation). Il donne lieu à des prières sur ...

Cette étude montre que, contrairement à ce que l’on mettait en avant durant la décennie 2010, ces investissements ne se limitent pas à l’exploitation du sous-sol africain. Les opérateurs chinois, privilégiant le long terme, se montrent le plus souvent patients et discrets, ne ciblant pas les seuls investissements miniers. Concernant les secteurs principalement bénéficiaires de ces investissements, ...
