“…More recently, as Hirschkind and Larkin (2008: 2) have argued, '[r]eligions are constituted through an architecture of circulation and representation that in turn creates the pragmatic contexts for modes of practice and worship.' Indeed, contemporary modes and avenues of mediation of Islamic discourses illustrate how the circulation of small media and their popularization have transformed religious practice while opening up channels of authority to particular actors (Brigaglia, 2007;Campbell, 2012;Larkin, 2008b). Regularly invested in a reform project that promotes and seeks to transmit norms and values, they stress the importance of self-representation and the role mediation plays in the maintenance of the community.…”

In Niger, Izala is a well established Islamic reform movement that is known for its strategic use of small media. The author investigates how these media are produced and circulated during the Wa'zin kasa, a three-day international preaching rally, and how they play an active role in popularizing Izala's discourses and practices and in shaping a moral community. The author illustrates that the mobility of these small media has instigated a media dynamic that has transformed the mediascape in Niger and produced new actors and new religious discourses. These 'Sunna media' have played an important role in the spread of the reformist movement, and in the establishment of new forms of authority. In the case of the Izala movement, they have also generated a specific religiosity. RésuméAu Niger, Izala est un mouvement réformiste musulman bien établi et connu pour son usage stratégique des « petits médias ». L'auteur interroge la production et la circulation de ces petits médias pendant le Wa'zin kasa, un festival international de prédication qui se déroule durant trois jours. Comment ces petits médias contribuent-ils à la popularisation du discours d'Izala et de ses pratiques ? Et comment construisent-ils une communauté morale ? L'auteur montre que la mobilité de ces petits médias a engendré un dynamisme médiatique qui a transformé le paysage médiatique au Niger et a produit de nouveaux acteurs et de nouveaux discours religieux. Les « médias sunna » n'ont pas seulement joué un rôle majeur dans la diffusion de la réforme morale et dans l'établissement de

“…África Occidental se volvió un interesante objetivo geopolítico y tras la fundación de la universidad de Medina en 1961 se lanzó un poderoso programa de becas y ayudas para formar "expertos" que trabajaran por el salafismo en África. La agresividad doctrinal de estos agentes salafistas en África Occidental frente a las identidades tradicionales acabó en conflictos primero locales y con un enfoque teológico (Kane 2003;Brigaglia 2007) y, más tarde convertirse en conflictos transnacionales y centrados en lo geopolítico como es el caso de Boko Haram (Brigaglia 2015) que a día de hoy afecta a Nigeria, Camerún, Chad y Níger.…”
