Résumé
Elaboré comme préalable à la reformulation alternative du concept de développement, cet article pose la problématique de l’expérience du développement en Afrique dans le but de comprendre l’impasse le caractérisant. Trois grandes préoccupations y sont exposées : en premier lieu, le développement est examiné sur le plan historique en tant que paradigme politique violent et oppresseur, culturellement déterministe et économiquement exploiteur, opérant à partir d’une logique défectueuse. En deuxième lieu, l’auteur y discute de la re- conceptualisation du développement en tant que projet planétaire à cette époque actuelle de mondialisation néolibérale et s’interroge sur la question de savoir pourquoi les problèmes de développement ne peuvent être résolus dans le contexte de cette reformulation également défectueuse de la problématique. Enfin, cette étude propose des moyens de réaménager le développement de manière à permettre des reformulations d’alternatives propres à l’Afrique. L’auteur avance qu’au lieu d’être complètement abandonné, le développement doit être repris et reformulé, et enraciné dans des conceptions endogè es d’action sociale et de position de l’être humain au sein d’une communauté.
