“…However, it also reflects the emergence of rivalries and competition with UN organisations, UNESCO in particular. 63 Colonial experts clearly and repeatedly pointed out that the responsibility for educational development in the African colonies lay with the European administrations. In 1948, Albert Charton made the same point at a UNESCO meeting, namely that stimulating scientific research and providing education in the colonies was a "duty of the mother country."…”

By focusing on the individual trajectory of Albert Charton (1893–1980), a French educationalist and civil servant who was active in West Africa and Indochina during the 1930s and 1940s, this article offers an original approach to the analysis of knowledge production and circulation in relation to the colonial world. More specifically, the study of Charton's involvement in several imperial, international, and interimperial bodies allows for a new understanding of the evolution of discussions concerning the content and aims of colonial education, including its growing importance within development paradigms. Such a micro-historical perspective also reveals the mechanisms and sometimes contrasting (political) rationales of the process of internationalisation of educational knowledge, thus providing new insights into the interconnections between imperialism and internationalism.

Cet article analyse l’impact de la collaboration entre les puissances coloniales présentes en Afrique australe sur le champ scientifique portugais. Selon nous, depuis 1950, la participation portugaise à la Commission de coopération technique en Afrique au sud du Sahara (CCTA) et à son organe consultatif, le Conseil scientifique africain (CSA), a été décisive dans l’évolution de la politique scientifique pour les colonies portugaises. D’une part, cette participation a conduit à la création de plusieurs organismes de recherche et à la formation de spécialistes, d’autre part, elle accélère l’institutionnalisation des instituts de recherche scientifique en Angola et au Mozambique et, enfin, elle ouvre de nouvelles opportunités d’emploi aux scientifiques et techniciens de la métropole et des territoires coloniaux. La coopération transimpériale fut, dans le cas portugais, un mécanisme pour induire rapidement l’expansion et le renforcement de la communauté scientifique nationale, confrontée à ses propres faiblesses et contraintes, avec des effets au-delà du départ du Portugal de la CCTA en 1962

Resumo Após a Segunda Guerra Mundial (1939-1945), com modos e alcances diversos, os projectos imperiais e coloniais europeus revelaram dinâmicas de inovação institucional, administrativa e ideológica, visando responder aos múltiplos obstáculos que se colocavam à sua legitimidade e continuidade. O escrutínio crítico dos seus modi operandi intensificou-se, envolvendo um número crescente de indivíduos, grupos e redes operando em contextos diversos, com motivações e objectivos distintos. As pressões para a renovação ou para o desmantelamento das soluções imperiais e coloniais multiplicaram-se. Acompanhando essas transformações, por vezes antecipando-as, em outras agindo de um modo essencialmente reactivo, as autoridades imperiais e coloniais imaginaram e desenvolveram novos idiomas e repertórios de administração. Estes foram marcados por argumentários e planos de desenvolvimento e modernização societal e, ainda, por novas políticas da diferença, produzindo renovados mecanismos de regulação, inclusão e exclusão social, política e económica. Este texto analisa uma dessas manifestações, a emergência do “colonialismo de bem-estar” no império colonial português, colocando-o num contexto internacional relevante, incluindo de cariz interimperial. O texto aborda sobretudo a “província ultramarina” de Angola e foca-se, no essencial, no domínio do trabalho, mostrando como as orientações desenvolvimentistas e de “bem-estar” foram profundamente condicionadas por (e assim se tornaram úteis para) preocupações securitárias.
