God, blood, YouTube, and the street: How Senegalese dancers say they learned sabar
Type de matériel :

Referring to a “gift from God,” or to having dance “in their blood,” sabar dancers in Senegal testify to a feeling of not having learned in their career, while claiming later to have had access to certain forms of training or courses. This lexical field of vocation, which is very operative in the artistic milieu, differs from a French conception when applied in West Africa (in particular through lineage learning). Indeed, the figures of learning and transmission cannot be compared to those of the West with which we are familiar: we shall see this throughout this article. The forms and feelings of self-education that are at work are compared with the informal learning structures.
