ABSTRACT & RÉSUMÉ: The analysis of African occult belief systems provides a unique example for demonstrating that seemingly outdated and exotic African modes of thought, such as the belief in magic and witchcraft, are modern and have significant impact on social, economic and political structures. Official approaches, designed to cope with the problems of witchcraft violence in Africa, have since the advent of colonial rule, been based on eurocentric views and colonial jurisdiction, legitimised by Western social science. These answers are inadequate; in fact, they constitute part of the problem itself. African religions could provide a framework for valuable indigenous solutions to actual problems of contemporary life, including the problem of witchcraft violence. Besides this, they might, under certain conditions, provide the outside world with an inspiring new dimension of philosophic thought and emancipative action for example, within the realm of conflict resolution and reconciliation. However, even in the case of the ‘domestication’ of witchcraft violence, this holds only in so far as appropriate African answers can be shielded against the negative impact of globalised liberal capitalism. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RÉSUMÉ: [ Sur la renaissance des modes de pensée africains - L'exemple de la croyance en magie et la sorcellerie ] - L'analyse des systèmes de croyances occultes africains offre un exemple unique pour démontrer que les modes africains de la pensée apparemment obsolètes et exotiques, comme la croyance en la sorcellerie, sont très modernes. Ils ont un impact décisive sur des structures sociales, économiques et politiques africaines. Les approches officielles, visant à faire face aux problèmes de la violence de la sorcellerie en Afrique, ont depuis l'avènement de la domination coloniale, été fondés sur des opinions eurocentriques et la juridiction coloniale, qui étaient légitimées par la science sociale occidentale de ces temps. Ces réponses sont insuffisantes, en fait, ils font partie du problème il-même. Religions africaines pourrait fournir un cadre pour des solutions autochtones précieux, ainsi que pour résoudre les problèmes réels de la vie contemporaine, y compris la question de la sorcellerie. Outre cela, ils pourraient, sous certaines conditions, fournir au monde extérieur avec une nouvelle dimension inspirante de la philosophie et de l'action émancipatrice, par exemple, dans le domaine de la résolution des conflits et de la réconciliation. Cependant, même dans le cas de la « domestication » de la sorcellerie, ce ne détient au mesure que les réponses appropriées africaines peuvent être protégés contre l'impact négatif du capitalisme libéral mondialisé.
