Ruralization in urbanization in the Peasant Territories of Southern Mali: everyday life in Ségoukoura, Ségou

Inhabiting a territory in Southern Mali is a continuum of movement to the rhythm of the world's transformations. In Ségoukoura, in Ségou, Mali (West Africa), this gesture relates to processes of ruralization and urbanization. The peasant perspective allows a counter and decolonial orientation to grasp these specific modes of living. The space of the city is investigated from the practices of everyday life that manifest themselves in artifacts, symbols of a subsistence relationship to the land. The work of life reproduction adapts to the possibilities of the contemporary city by bringing together the perspectives of the rural and the urban and of the global and the local in an open-ended relationship. Ségoukoura thus becomes a tale to interpret the relationship to the world and its transformations through the gesture of living.
