Tandem Program SAV–CNRS 2026–2027 | Results

No Colonies, Still Colonial? (Czecho)Slovak History and the French Colonial Empire in Africa, 18th–early 20th Centuries
Silvester TRNOVEC (Institute of Oriental Studies, SAV / CEFRES)
Romain TIQUET (Institute des mondes africains, CNRS / CEFRES)

This project explores the entanglements between (Czecho)Slovak history and Africa in the context of colonialism (18th–early 20th c.). It analyses encounters of travellers, missionaries, merchants, and diplomats of (Czecho)Slovak background not only with colonial institutions but also with African populations, exploring exchanges of goods, ideas, and representations. By tracing these interactions, the project highlights how Africa’s histories were shaped through contacts with Central Europeans long before the era of decolonisation and Cold War.

The TANDEM CNRS-SAV program is developed by the Slovak Academy of Sciences (SAV), the CNRS Humanities & Social Sciences (CNRS SHS), and the French Research Center for Social Science Research (CEFRES) with the with the support of the French Institute in Slovakia.
