Due to the crisis lived in Mali since 2012, due to a non-international armed conflict between the government and different armed groups, the Security Council of the United Nations Organization declared that the situation in Mali constituted a threat to international peace and security. This led to the military intervention in Mali by France. This article aims to analyse the arguments with which the French government attempted to justify its intervention in order to determine if those arguments are legal or not. / Debido a la crisis que vive Malí desde el año 2012, a causa de un conflicto armado no internacional entre el gobierno y varios grupos armados, el Consejo de Seguridad de la Organización de Naciones Unidas declaró que dicha situación representaba una amenaza contra la paz y la seguridad internacionales. Ello condujo a la intervención  militar de Francia  en la República de Malí. Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar los argumentos con los que el gobierno francés justificó su intervención para así determinar sidichos argumentos son legales o no.

La thèse porte sur deux aspects interdisciplinaires de la science à savoir : les études critiques et l’histoire (particulièrement celle du Mali). L’aspect études critique est écrit en arabe, il étudie la plus volumineuse et la plus intéressante correspondance échangée entre Shaykh Sīdī Ahmad al-Bakkay Kunta et le dernier émir du Macina (Amadou Amadou). Ce manuscrit traite de la majeure partie des différends qui opposaient les deux protagonistes particulièrement, mais aussi, les sujets brûlants entre les .deux familles en général. Elle est la réponse à une première correspondance envoyée par Amadou Amadou, bien que nous n’ayons pas retrouvé la copie, la réponse de Sīdī al-Bakkay en retrace les grandes lignes et y répond.L’aspect histoire se focalise sur l’étude d’une zone restreinte locale, ensuite prend ses sources naturellement dans les manuscrits inédits de l’Institut Ahmad Baba de Tombouctou (IHERIAB). Il s’agit de discuter de la nature, de l’importance des rapports Kunta Peuls et leur évolution durant la période 1818-1864, qui résume la vie de l’empire théocratique de Hamdallaye. Ce jeune Etat dès sa naissance n’a pas hésité à prendre possession de deux pôles de commandements religieux et commerciaux, sous l’autorité de trois émirs, ensuite lance sa conquête sur la ville de Tombouctou et ses environnants. Cette période n’a pas manqué d’être mouvante ; sans oublier le poids de la présence Touareg dans la création de cette complicité. Pour bien cerner la question, il importe justement de rappeler le climat politique du delta central du Niger pendant les années finissantes du XVIIIe siècle et avant 1818 et de montrer comment ce contexte a permis l’émergence des Kunta et leur suprématie à Tombouctou. Les Kunta ont été à la fois porteurs d’un message religieux traditionnel et acteurs politiques dans la sous-région, cette double responsabilité ne les laisse pas indifférents face aux événements de cette époque. Les contenus de ces correspondances, adressées à diverses personnalités de différentes communautés, relatent la postérité de leurs actions entreprises dans le règlement de ces oppositions, témoignent de leur rôle joué dans la recherche de la stabilité et d’un climat de paix et de dialogue dans cette partie de la boucle du Niger. Ces correspondances venant des Shaykh-s Kunta ou des émirs peuls du Macina, ainsi que celles reçues de leurs auxiliaires traitent différents sujets de la vie quotidienne : Des appels à la justice, la meilleure gestion et la bonne gouvernance, des conseils, prêches et des plaidoiries, aux textes administratifs, politiques et jurisconsultes, en passant par les récits de menaces physiques et violences verbales, en allant jusqu’aux médiations, réconciliations et présentations de condoléances etc. / This thesis deals with two interdisciplinary aspects of science, namely critical studies and history (particularly the history of Mali). The section devoted to critical studies is written in Arabic and examines the most substantial and most interesting piece of correspondence exchanged between Shaykh Sīdī Ahmad al-Bakkay Kunta and the last Emir of Macina (Amadou Amadou). This manuscript deals with most of the differences which opposed the two protagonists, in particular, as well as dealing, more generally, with the burning issues concerning the two families. It was the reply to a first piece of correspondence sent by Amadou Amadou, which we have been unable to find although Sīdī al-Bakkay outlined its content in this reply.The historical aspect focuses on the study of a limited local zone. The sources are naturally the unpublished manuscripts of the Ahmad Baba Institute in Timbuktu (IHERIAB). In essence, this section of the thesis discusses the nature and importance of the Kunta - Peuls relationships and their evolution during the period 1818-1864 – a summary of the theocratic empire of Hamdallaye. From its birth, under the authority of three emirs, this young state unhesitatingly took control of religious leadership and commerce before invading Timbuktu and the surrounding area. The period was turbulent and the creation of this complicity was heavily influenced by the Tuareg presence. A proper apprehension of the subject requires one to bear in mind the political climate of the central Niger delta from the end of the 18th century to 1818 and how this context enabled the emergence of the Kunta and their supremacy in Timbuktu.The Kunta were both bearers of a traditional religious message and political figures in this sub-region. This double responsibility meant that they were not mere spectators of the events of the period, events tainted with interminable conflicts and a multitude of unexpected disputes. The content of this correspondence sent to various figures in different communities recounts the actions undertaken to settle these conflicts and shows the role played by the Kunta in the quest for dialogue and a peaceful climate in this area along the Niger.The letters comprising this correspondence written by Shaykh-s Kunta or the Peul Emirs of Macina as well as the letters received from their auxiliaries dealt with various subjects of daily life: appeals for justice, calls for better administration and good governance, advice, sermons and pleas, administrative, political and jurisconsult texts, tales of physical and verbal violence, mediations, reconciliations and the presenting of condolences etc.

Den här uppsatsen handlar om hur Volvo konstruerar svenskhet och sin egen identitet i deras reklamfilm Made by Sweden – Vintersaga. Med tanke på hur olika uppfattningar kring vad som är svenskt florerar fritt i både Sverige och världen så är det intressant att undersöka hur en svensk symbol och ett multinationellt företag som Volvo väljer att reproducera denna. Detta är en språkinriktad undersökning som använder sig av en multimodal analys för att synliggöra vem som gör vad i reklamfilmen och hur den inkluderar och engagerar tittaren. Den multimodala analysen bygger på Michael Hallidays systemisk-funktionella grammatiska analysmodell och förklaras sakligt hur den används för att tjäna syftet. I resultatet dyker stora deltagargrupper upp som är människor, element och Volvo själva. Dessa engagerar och inkluderar tittaren på olika sätt vilket skapar en kontakt och ett meddelande mellan Volvo som är sändare och tittaren som är mottagare. Symboliskt sett så gestaltas en kamp mot det stora vemodet som består av svåra svenska förhållanden i form av kyla, blåst och väta. Tittaren och de mänskliga deltagarna i reklamfilmen blir svenska och uppmanas implicit att använda en Volvo i sin kamp för att fortsätta vara svenska. För det är bara de med rätt vilja och rätt val av utrustning som blir svenska och kan tåla kampen. Fälttåget leds av världsliga representanter som Timbuktu och Börje Salming, starka individer som samarbetar i grupp med Volvo som sin kuse. Kampen finns i språket som Volvo har valt i bild och sång.

Informada pelos pressupostos da área interdisciplinar conhecida como estudos animais, esta tese propõe uma leitura a contrapelo das figuras animais na literatura, na qual elas não são entendidas apenas como metáforas de certos aspectos da vida humana, mas como presenças textuais com um estatuto de personagens e, nessa condição, são interrogadas em sua alteridade. A questão central em pauta é: o que a metáfora diz sobre os animais e sobre a relação entre os animais e os seres humanos e o que significa des-figurar a metáfora e explorar a possibilidade de re-significar, a partir da textualidade ficcional, a relação humano-animal. Para tanto, desenho um panorama dos estudos animais, abordando o estado da arte no Brasil, inserindo tais estudos nas possibilidades de inovação no campo da literatura comparada. A seguir, elaboro um aporte teórico a partir da filosofia animal de Jacques Derrida, ao qual incorporo e coloco em discussão posicionamentos teóricos de Calarco (2008), Krell (2013), Lawlor (2007) e Naas (2010) sobre a questão em pauta. Por fim, realizo leituras comparadas entre A metamorfose (1915), de Franz Kafka, e Porcarias (1996), de Marie Darrieussecq, ambos sobre o tornar-se animal, e entre Flush (1933), de Virginia Woolf, e Timbuktu (1999), de Paul Auster, ambos sobre a domesticação de animais. / Following the tenets of the interdisciplinary area of animal studies, this dissertation presents a reading of animal figures in literature against the grain, which means that they are not taken only as metaphors of certain aspects of human life but as textual presences with a status assigned to characters and, in this condition, are interrogated in their alterity. The central question to be explored is: what the animal metaphor says about animals and the relation of animal and human beings and what it means to de-figure the metaphor in order to explore the possibility of re-signifying, in ficcional textualities, the human/animal relation. In order to address these issues, I draw a panorama of animal studies, including the state of the art in Brazil, to contend that this area adds to the possibilities of innovation in the field of comparative literature. Then, I consider a theoretical framework of Jacques Derrida’s animal philosophy, also discussing theoretical positions of Calarco (2008), Krell (2013), Lawlor (2007) and Naas (2010) on this topic. Finally, I propose comparative readings of Franz Kafka’s The metamorphosis (1915) and Marie Darrieussecq’s Pig tales (1996), from the perspective of becoming animal, and of Virginia Woolf’s Flush (1933) and Paul Auster’s Timbuktu (1999), both on domesticating animals.

L’État peul du Macina a été fondé en 1818 par le pasteur Sékou Amadou (m. 1845), qui a entretenu des relations épistolaires avec la prestigieuse famille kunta de Tombouctou. Les informations rapportées de la tradition orale considèrent le rapport entre ces deux parties comme conflictuel. Selon cette dernière, les Kunta auraient été agitateurs qui tentaient de soulever les Touaregs contre les souverains peuls du Macina. Or, d’après leur diffèrent échanges épistolaires, il nous semble que leurs relations ont connu deux périodes distinctes La nature de leur rapport varie selon les époques : celle qui s’étend de la prise du pouvoir par Sékou Amadou jusqu’en 1847, puis celle qui s’ouvre avec Aḥmad al-Bakkāy al-Kuntī, notamment à partir de 1851/2, jusqu’à la victoire d’al-Ḥāğğ cUmar Tall sur le dernier émir, Amadou Amadou, en 1862.L’un des chefs kunta de la première période fut le cheikh al-Muḫtār aṣ-Ṣaġīr (m. 1847). Il a accompagné la dynastie peule du Macina, entretenu les bons rapports que ses prédécesseurs avaient noués avec les Peuls et entrepris des bons offices entre ces derniers et les Touaregs de Tombouctou. Cependant, au cours de la médiation du cheikh kunta entre les Peuls et les Touaregs, quelques difficultés sont survenues, des divergences d’avis et d’interprétation se sont révélées sans pour autant avoir des conséquences notoires sur leurs rapports. Ses correspondances avec les souverains peuls du Macina ont permis de traiter les sujets brûlants de son époque, dont certains sont toujours d’actualités au Mali.Notre travail se propose d’éditer, de faire le commentaire, de traiter les quelques épîtres manuscrites que ces hommes, religieux et politiques, ont échangées, de montrer à quel point les deux traditions, orale et écrite, convergent ou divergent, et de faire une étude historique de la question touarègue au Mali, qui devient un conflit cyclique ! / The Fulani state of Macina was founded in 1818 the shepherd Sékou Amadou (1845), who had epistolary relations with the Kunta family of Timbuktu. The reported information from the oral tradition considers the relationship between these two parties as conflictual. According to the latter, the Kunta were agitators attempting to rise up the Tuaregs against the Fulani rulers of Macina. Now, according to their different epistolary exchanges, it seemed to us that this relation had known two distinct periods the nature of which varies, according to that which extends from the rise to power of Sekou Amadou until 1847, or that which opens with Aḥmad al-Bakkāy al-Kuntī, especially from 1851/2 until the victory of al-Ḥāğğ cUmar Tall on the last emir, Amadou Amadou, in 1862.One of the Kunta chiefs of the first period was Sheikh al-Muḫtār al-ṣaġīr (1847). He accompanied the Fulani dynasty of Macina, maintained the good relationship that his predecessors had forged with the Fulani and undertook good offices between them and the Touaregs of Timbuktu. However, during the mediation of Sheikh Kunta between the Fulani and the Tuaregs, some difficulties arose, differences of opinion and interpretation without having noticeable consequences on their mutual relations. His correspondences with the Fulani rulers of Macina made it possible to treat the burning topics of his time, some of whichare still relevant in Mali.Our work proposes to publish, to comment, to treat the few handwritten epistles that these men, religious and political, have exchanged, to demonstrate to what extent the two traditions, oral and written, converge or diverge, and to make a historical study of the Tuareg question in Mali, which has become a recurrent conflict.

Le califat de Hamdallahi a été gouverné successivement par trois dirigeants dont tous portaient le prénom « Amadou » pendant un demi-siècle de 1818 à 1862. La capitale du califat se trouvait dans la région du Macina au centre de l’actuel Mali en Afrique de l’Ouest. Cette région a connu de nombreuses mutations au XIXe siècle, particulièrement sur le plan intellectuel, politique et confrérique. Cette étude couvre uniquement la période de 1800 et 1866 dans la région du Macina. Ce travail s’est basé sur un texte polémique entre les Qādiris et les Tījānis ouest africains du XIXe siècle. Ce choix a pour but d’élargir davantage la documentation sur l’histoire du Macina et surtout faire connaître la littérature ouest africaine du XIXe siècle. L’historiographie de la région s’est jusqu’à présent fondée sur des jugements rapides ne reposant pas sur une étude approfondie des textes, l’intérêt de ce choix est justement de faire parler les textes autour de ces problématiques.Cette étude illustre en partie l’histoire intellectuelle et politique de l’Afrique de l’Ouest au XIXe siècle. Le texte a été composé après la victoire militaire d’al-Ḥājj Umar dans la région du Macina en 1862. Cette conquête a mis fin définitivement à l’existence d’un État théocratique connu sous le nom de califat de Hamdallahi, un des États les plus organisés politiquement en Afrique de l’ouest au XIXe siècle. Ce conflit politique s’est transformé en partie en un conflit d’ordre confrérique. Ibn Yerkoy Talfi disciple d’al-Ḥājj Umar et idéologue tījāni était dans le camp des vainqueurs et s’est retourné contre le plus haut responsable de la confrérie Qādiriyya subsaharienne Aḥmad al-Bakkay. Ce dernier était représentant de la confrérie Qādiriyya et se trouvait parmi les vaincus, Aḥmad al-Bakkay avaient longtemps critiqué al-Ḥājj Umar et sa confrérie.Une investigation beaucoup plus large et une analyse critique des textes nous ont permis de revenir sur certains sujets déjà étudiés auparavant par exemple : la surévaluation de la question confrérique en toile de fond, les enjeux des relations Kunta/Peuls dans la période étudiée. La manipulation des textes religieux pour des raisons politiques, historiques et sociales. / For half a century from 1818-1862, the Hamdallahi Caliphate was ruled by three successive leaders who each carried the name “Amadou.” The capital of the Caliphate was located in the Macina region which is in the center of modern-day Mali in West Africa. This region witnessed numerous changes over the course of the nineteenth century, especially in its intellectual, political and Sufi configurations. This study is focused exclusively on the period from 1800 to 1866 in the Macina region. The work is based on a polemical text about the differences between West African members of the Qādiriyya and Tījāniyya brotherhoods during the nineteenth century. This choice was made with the goal of expanding the documentary basis for the history of the Macina, and more than this, to make the West African literature of the nineteenth century better known. The historiography of the region has until now been based on quick analyses which are not based on deep study of texts and as such, the choice made here in this thesis is to concentrate on the contents of texts related to these problems. This study illustrates the intellectual and political history of West Africa in the nineteenth century. The text was written after the military victory of al-Ḥājj Umar in the Macina region in 1862. That conquest put a definitive end to the theocratic state known by the name of the Hamdallahi Caliphate, one of the best organized states in West Africa in the nineteenth century. The political conflict was transformed into a conflict between brotherhoods. Ibn Yerkoy Talfi was a disciple of al-Ḥājj Umar and a Tījāni ideologue who was part of the winning side, and it was directed against Aḥmad al-Bakkay, leader of the Qādiriyya brotherhood in sub-Saharan Africa. Aḥmad al-Bakkay was among those defeated in this conflict, and had been a longtime critic of al-Ḥājj Umar and his brotherhood.A much broader investigation and critical analysis of the texts allows us to return to certain topics which have already been studies such as the wider context of these events, the stakes in the relations between the Kunta and Fulɓe in the period studies, and the manipulation of religious texts for political, historical and social reasons.

Les manuscrits sub-sahariens, jusqu’ici peu accessibles, regorgent encore d’importants ouvrages dans bien de domaines. Cette thèse traite deux d’entre eux en lexicographie et en grammaire, il s’agit respectivement de : Iḍā’at al-Uḍmūs wa Riyāḍat al-Nufūs min Isṭilāḥ Ṣāḥib al-Qāmūs d’Aḥmed b. ‘Abd al-‘Azīz b. al-Rashīd al-Sijlmāsi, al-Mālikī (1761), qui constitue un commentaire sur la méthodologie du livre al-Qāmūs al-Muḥīṭ ; et de : Shifā’ al-Ṣudūr fī Ḥalli alfāẓ al-Shudhūr de Muḥammad b. ‘Abd al-Mun‘im Schams al-Din al-Jawjarī al-Shāfi’ al-Miṣrī (1484) constituant également un commentaire du célèbre ouvrage en grammaire d’Ibn Hishām : Shudhūr al-Dhahab. Ce traitement a consisté à faire une édition scientifique de leurs textes pour fournir au lecteur un texte prêt pour la lecture : vocalisation, ponctuation, apparat critique, typographie dont le but n’est pas de donner une image de ces manuscrits, mais de transformer ces manuscrits en livre. Cette thèse a scruté les variantes entre trois copies de l’ouvrage Iḍā’at al-Uḍmūs et deux copies de l’ouvrage Shifā’ al-Ṣudūr pour en rétablir les textes, mentionné les éventuelles erreurs, retracé les sources et émettre des commentaires pour éclaircir certains passages en faisant référence à une bibliographie variée et multiple. / Until recently the Sub-Saharan manuscripts have been inaccessible and thus include many major works in numerous fields. This thesis deals with two such works in the qreq of lexicography and grammar, namly: Iḍā’at al-Uḍmūs wa Riyāḍat al-Nufūs min Isṭilāḥ Ṣāḥib al-Qāmūs d’Aḥmed b. ‘Abd al-‘Azīz b. al-Rashīd al-Sijlmāsi, al-Mālikī (1761), which is also a commentary on the methodology of the book al-Qāmūs al-Muḥīṭ; and al-Qāmūs al-Muḥīṭ ; et de : Shifā’ al-Ṣudūr fī Ḥalli alfāẓ al-Shudhūr de Muḥammad b. ‘Abd al-Mun‘im Schams al-Din al-Jawjarī al-Shāfi’ al-Miṣrī (1484) which is also a commentary, dealing with the famous book of grammar by Ibn Hishām: Shudhūr al-Dhahab.This treatment of these manuscripts involved the making a scientific edition to provide a ready to read text, with the provion of vocalization, punctuation, critical apparatus and typography with the purpose not giving an image of these manuscripts, but to transforming them into a book.This thesis has scrutinized the variations between three copies of the book: Iḍā'at al-Uḍmūs and two copies of the book Shifā’ al-Ṣudūr in order to restore the texts; it has mentioned the errors encounred, traced the sources and made comments to clarify some passages by referring to a varied and plentiful bibliography.
