- W2217900177 abstract "Burkina Faso is in the midst of economic and social transformations with respect to land and power. On the basis of ongoing research on local democratic culture, I discuss urban land management, and popular resistance in municipal politics in the city of Bobo-Dioulasso. Notions of mobility and fixity are important dimensions for understanding the multiple connotations of urban land at the outskirts of towns and cities. Urban land management (lotissement) operations – with the twofold purpose of regulating land tenure and of improving socio-economic and infrastructural conditions – are at the core of social contests and political mobilizations in Bobo-Dioulasso. And, yet, most people are profoundly ambivalent to urban land management. On the one hand, urban land management operations are associated with corruption and embezzlement by local power-holders and other big men, and popular resistance and public protest are common. On the other hand, most people support the idea of implementing urban land management in their neighborhood so as to develop the area, and to, hopefully, get access to a land-plot of one’s own (un chez-soi). In practice, however, for most people urban land management entails displacement and moving away from the neighborhood.Hence, urban land simultaneously represents gold (in the sense of volatile, short-term wealth and of steady, long-term value), and power (individual and collective, political and economic, cultural and social). By exploring urban land management operations, and popular resistance and protest, the paper demonstrates that municipal politics is a prism through which mobility and fixity can be fruitfully explored" @default.
