“…As Brian Larkin (2008) notes in the context of discussing Nigerian media, piracy creates infrastructure. Film's only other formal economy comes via satellite service, with the South African owned DStv enjoying a near-monopoly in the country (see Adejunmobi, 2011), and providing film and television, though often pirated itself. This is supplemented by the country's lone broadcast station, TVM, but limited finances have restricted the station largely to broadcasting events already in progresssuch as soccer matches, sermons, and parliamentary proceedings -or to showing lowbudget music videos created by artists themselves.…”

“…En effet, l'industrie du ilm du Nigéria (Nollywood) correspond à la plus grande industrie du ilm en Afrique, mais elle reste largement déconnectée de l'économie mondiale oficielle (Adejunmobi, 2007). Dans son analyse des rapports entre la mondialisation et Nollywood, Adejunmobi (2011) avance que les entreprises médiatiques régionales constituent une plus grande menace pour les productions médiatiques locales que les entreprises médiatiques globales, dans le sens où ces entreprises régionales diffusent les mêmes contenus que les entreprises locales et asphyxient celles-ci. Les tendances actuelles et les intérêts de recherche en communication internationale seront donc amenés à s'orienter davantage vers les productions d'industries culturelles issues de pays émergents, notamment vers les BRICS et les N-11.…”

“…Pourtant, le XXI e siècle marque plusieurs changements en communication internationale et notre article, tout en soulignant l'arrivée de nouveaux acteurs et de nouveaux enjeux, propose de nouvelles perspectives dans cette féconde tradition de recherche. On pense notamment à l'adaptation du modèle des industries culturelles avec l'avènement de nouveaux acteurs comme Bollywood (Rao, 2010), Nollywood (Adejunmobi, 2011) ou les industries médiatiques latino-américaines (Barbero, 2003 ;Rebouças, 2006). Avec l'avènement d'Internet, le phénomène de mondialisation, la poussée de mouvements sociaux alternatifs et l'apparition dans la sphère géopolitique de pays émergents (comme les BRICS ou les N-11), la tradition de recherche en communication internationale s'est diversiiée et est marquée par de nouvelles tendances et de nouveaux déis.…”

“…Digital satellite service was launched in 1995 across Africa and Multichoice rapidly became the most popular satellite provider on the market, especially in Anglophone countries. In 2003 it launched a new twenty-four-hour African-content channel, “Africa Magic.” As Moradewun Adejunmobi notes, the line-up of films on this channel “was (and remains) so heavily dominated by Nollywood films that some commentators have suggested that the channel should be called NigeriaMagic” (2011: 70). While numerous industry practitioners complained of the problematic impact that the introduction of the channel had on the industry’s economy, 12 it is important to underline that Africa Magic had a very influential role in spreading Nollywood’s popularity beyond Nigerian borders.…”
