| dc.description.abstract | [eng] This article presents and analyses a series of social processes by which both the unregulated shared taxi system — klandos — and the motorbike taxi system — jakartas — operate within the dynamics of movement in the historical and natural region of Lower Casamance (Senegal). Focusing on Ziguinchor, the principal town, it looks in detail at the rationale behind these processes and opens up a critical discussion on the notion of “informality” as it is applied to urban African contexts. We examine both daily and ambivalent links between an apparently illegal public service and the state which tolerates, and even protects it, relying on it to meet the mobility needs of civil servants, while also subtly exercising control over it. | |
| dc.description.abstract | [spa] Este artículo da cuenta y analiza la serie de procesos sociales por los que tanto el sistema de taxis colectivos no autorizados apodados klandos como el sistema de mototaxis jakartas se insertan en las dinámicas de movilidad que tienen lugar en la región histórica y natural de la Baja Casamance, en Senegal, fundamentalmente en Ziguinchor, su núcleo urbano principal. Prestar atención a su lógica contribuye a una discusión crítica a propósito de la noción de «informalidad», tal y como suele aplicarse a contextos urbanos africanos, en tanto permite atender a las articulaciones, a la vez cotidianas y ambivalentes, entre una oferta de servicio público supuestamente ilegal y un Estado que la tolera y hasta ampara en orden a atender determinadas necesidades de movilidad, pero también a ejercer sutilmente su control. | |
