WORK HISTORY
Senior Researcher @Dl2a Buluu Publishing
DL2A is a publishing house incorporated in Paris, France, with French, Ghanaian and Tanzanian roots. The company is specialized in edition of works written in African languages and has started to publish in Kiswahili. Since 2016 it has started to develop software applications and databases. The reason that gave me the idea and the desire to create a publishing house has to be found in my Research curriculum. I\'ve been the witness of this strange paradox that wants brilliant authors in African languages to write, sometimes several books of world class quality, and never been published.This issue of hardship as a normal publishing process is known everywhere in the World but it was particularly evident in the case of Mathias E. Mnyampala (19••••69), a Tanzanian famous poet, whose archives and unpublished manuscripts that I\'ve discovered in 2007 were remaining in the dark. Yet carefully protected by his second son.My responsabilities -to find, to select and to edit new authors writing in African languages-to publish their books and to sell them in electronic or paperback versions with a Worldwide range of diffusion and a fair royalties policy-to sell the books in the local markets. It requires intense field networking, to create an adequate marketing strategy and to have a deep knowledge of African realities-in France: I have a legal activity in the field of copyrights protection. I\'m also busy with the issue of long term conservation of the published works.But most of all I love Africa!Skills-African Business Development & Marketing-Cross-cultural Communication & Management-Adapting to norms and different cultures -Initiative taker-Innovation and Creativity-Ethical entrepreneurship-Edition

ABOUT MATHIEU ROY
En tant que linguiste spécialisé dans la poésie swahilie classique du XIXème siècle et l\'étude de manuscrits swahilis, anciens comme contemporains, je mène des recherches en Afrique de l\'Est. Mon travail éditorial englobe la publication de romans, autobiographies, essais et travaux académiques en swahili, disponibles en formats numériques et imprimés. Mon parcours académique et ma méthodologie sont résolument interdisciplinaires, alliant la linguistique, l\'informatique ainsi que les humanités. La maîtrise de plusieurs langues, notamment l\'arabe, le grec ancien et le swahili, est au cœur de mes recherches. De plus, la compétence technologique est cruciale pour moi, et je reste à l\'avant-garde des avancées en informatique.Mon pseudonyme, « Mawazoni », est un terme swahili qui signifie « dans les pensées », voire « perdu dans ses pensées », et qui me permet de distinguer mon profil universitaire et technique de celui de mon homonyme, le cinéaste.
