AB  - The generalisation of Information and Communication Technologies in the world gains
momentum also in Africa, in countries such as Senegal. The appropriation of ICT promotes
new social dynamics, in communications, economies, circulation of ideas, and has been
considered important in new forms of political participation and new models for business. But
ICT, through their ability to represent the world and communication, participate also in
important changes in sociabilities. In Senegal, we observe social tensions in gender and
intergenerational relations, that have become apparent by a new regime of exposure of social
relations and exacerbated by these technologies. A patriarchal ideology considers the openness
to the world and to new cultural references problematic.
The fear of cultural alienation sustains the perception of a crisis in social values. This
thesis aims at questioning the dialectics between this fear and the liberating potential of ICT,
by considerind the instances where social tensions are observable, namely on feminine
sociabilities, linked to the body and sexuality, to public and private spaces, to generational
practices and to youth, their aspirations and place in society. The crisis in social values is here
thought of as an ideological construction based on a difuse and disproportionate moral panic,
symptomatic of a crisis in masculinities.
The analysis on the codifications of gender relations, family, conjugal, generational and
neighbourly relations, configures the shift from an object centered in TIC to another one
centered on the influence of TIC in social relations.
