- Abstract
- fr Cet article analyse le concept de " yaƙin ƙwaƙwalwai " en Hausa, que je traduis par " guerre des cerveaux ", qui a émergé de mes recherches sur les projets de transformation sociale que poursuit l'association islamique Ihyaous Sunnah au Niger. Ce concept englobe leurs luttes contre ce qu'ils perçoivent comme relevant de l'impérialisme moral occidental et les influences occidentales dans les domaines du savoir et de l'être au Niger. Dans cet article, je présente les différentes dimensions de cette "guerre des cerveaux" du point de vue du Conseil des Oulémas de l'association et je les analyse dans le contexte de la décolonialité. Je soutiens que leur discours peut être compris comme un positionnement décolonial enraciné dans les épistémologies religieuses et conçu comme une alternative aux manifestations de la colonialité que l'on trouve dans les formes modernes de pensée, de connaissance et d'action.
- en This article analyses '’yaƙin ƙwaƙwalwai'’ in Hausa or '‘battle of brains'’ a concept that emerged from my research about the projects of social transformation the Islamic association in Niger, Ihyaous Sunnah pursues. This concept encompasses their struggles against what they perceive as Western moral imperialism and Western influences in the fields of knowledge and being in Niger. In this article, I present the various dimensions of this “battle of brains’’ from the point of view of the association's Council of Ulemas and read them against the background of decoloniality. I argue that their statements can be understood as decolonial positioning which is rooted in religious epistemologies and which is conceived as an alternative to manifestations of coloniality found in modern forms of thought, knowledge, and action.
