It shows Unikin's powerful institutional and corporatist mechanisms by looking at the university through the prism of its history and of the current education market in the Congo. It describes the user-pay system and the organization of academic careers in particular. These two issues are central to a type of public action which is based on concessions and corporatism and seems incompatible today with the virtuous competition which underlies the national and international discourses about education reform.

S’appuyant sur une démarche qualitative, elle met l’accent sur une discussion des dimensions relevant du contexte national sur le projet sociopolitique porté par ces mouvements d’affirmation citoyenne. Elle discute des enjeux, des modalités d’articulation, des défis et des limites de la « transafricaine de l’indocilité » que ces mouvements désirent incarner et impulser. Elle étudie enfin l’ancrage idéologique de ces mouvements et les modalités de déclinaison de leurs actions politiques et de leurs conquêtes citoyennes.

It proposes an analysis which insists on the innovations in activism on the ground, the share devolved to information and communication technologies, idiomatic practices and channels and means of expression. It also focusses on the linguistic systems structuring the discourses, the modus operandi of the fight on the ground before taking a look at the reactions of the political powers which often oscillate between repression, cooptation, subordination, intimidation, corruption, instrumentalization, infiltration, political rip-off etc. Mamadou Dimé, Département de sociologie, Université Gaston Berger, Saint-Louis, Sénégal.
