The study is about modern translations of hierarchy in different contexts through the practice of remembering in rural and urban Mali (Douentza/Bamako) and in urban Europe (Paris). The central research question is whether, why and how typical Sahelian social hierarchies are maintained and transformed in a globalising world, since the formal abolition of slavery.
Lotte Pelckmans started her PhD research in May 2005 and is connected to the department of anthropology of the University of Leiden and the African Studies Centre. Her supervisors are Professor Dr. Mirjam de Bruijn and Professor Dr. Peter Pels. Webcast of Toronto conference, May 2009, Tales of slavery.
