Depuis une dizaine d\u2019ann\u00e9es, \u00e0 la faveur de l\u2019\u00e9mergence du processus de d\u00e9mocratisation, le Groupe d\u2019\u00e9tudes et de recherche sur \u00c9tat et soci\u00e9t\u00e9s au Niger (GERES) s\u2019est attach\u00e9 \u00e0 cerner les \u00e9ventuels possibles d\u2019une transformation sociale au Niger. La formation de l\u2019\u00c9tat et la construction de la d\u00e9mocratie ainsi que les rapports de l\u2019arm\u00e9e avec la politique ont constitu\u00e9 les th\u00e8mes de recherche dominants. Le GERES aborde dans le pr\u00e9sent ouvrage la question des intellectuels au Niger dans leur rapport \u00e0 l\u2019\u00c9tat, au politique et \u00e0 la soci\u00e9t\u00e9. Pour la premi\u00e8re fois dans l\u2019histoire de ce pays, on disposera d\u2019une r\u00e9flexion des intellectuels nig\u00e9riens sur les intellectuels nig\u00e9riens. Cette recherche vient compl\u00e9ter la s\u00e9rie de travaux publi\u00e9s par le GERES et s\u2019int\u00e8gre parfaitement dans un vaste programme coh\u00e9rent dont l\u2019objectif g\u00e9n\u00e9ral est d\u2019\u00e9tudier les acteurs et les lignes de force de l\u2019histoire politique et sociale du Niger contemporain.<\/p>\n
Il s\u2019agit d\u2019une approche comparative, dans une perspective historique et sociologique allant de l\u2019\u00e9poque pr\u00e9coloniale jusqu\u2019\u00e0 l\u2019av\u00e8nement de la d\u00e9mocratie. La perspective historique permet de cerner le plus \u00e9troitement possible sur la longue dur\u00e9e les ph\u00e9nom\u00e8nes de continuit\u00e9 et de rupture entre les diff\u00e9rents \u00e2ges historiques (pr\u00e9colonial, colonial et postcolonial) dans les perceptions que l\u2019on a de l\u2019intellectuel, de son r\u00f4le dans la soci\u00e9t\u00e9, de ses relations complexes et parfois ambigu\u00ebs avec le pouvoir politique, de ses rapports \u00e0 l\u2019\u00c9tat et \u00e0 la soci\u00e9t\u00e9. Cette r\u00e9f\u00e9rence aux h\u00e9ritages et filiations est essentielle pour d\u00e9m\u00ealer les influences multiples, les recompositions et les transformations survenues au sein du paysage intellectuel nig\u00e9rien. Au plan sociologique, l\u2019ouvrage expose des \u00e9l\u00e9ments d\u2019une sociologie des intellectuels au Niger : histoires de vie (trajectoires individuelles) et histoire intellectuelle (variabilit\u00e9 des logiques) de quelques figures embl\u00e9matiques.<\/p>\n

Over the past decade, thanks to the emergence of the process of democratization, the Group of Studies and Research on State and Societies in Niger (GERES) has endeavored to identify possible social transformation in Niger. The formation of the state and the construction of democracy, as well as the military’s relations with politics, constituted the dominant research themes. In this book, GERES addresses the issue of intellectuals in Niger in their relationship to the state, politics and society. This research complements the series of works published by GERES and fits perfectly into a vast and coherent program whose general objective is to study the actors and the strengths of the political and social history of contemporary Niger. It is a comparative approach, from a historical and sociological perspective, going from the pre-colonial period to the advent of democracy.<\/p>\n
