As part of a collaborative research funded by the French National Research Ageny (ANR) « Ecologies and Politics of Writing » (AdE/IIAC & ENST), I realized with Cécile Van den Avenne an ethnographic study of street addressing in Mopti and its effect in the graphic environment of the city since 2002.
On the global framework of street addressing in African cities, information is available from the World Bank.
Our own research report will be available soon:
L’opération d’adressage à Mopti. Administrer par l’écrit, administrer l’écrit [Street Addressing in Mopti, Mali: Writing and managing the city], report for the program “Ecologies and Politics of Writing”, funded by National Research Agency (2006-2008), EHESS - TELECOM Paris-Tech. April 2008, 63 p
