A method, a set of social interactions. Apparently derived from Chinese dream interpretations, Fafi seems to have little relation to anything outside South Africa. at least in its specificity of operation.<br \/>\nIn fact Fafi is an illegal, non-state-controlled form of gambling. played in parks, public spaces, bars or shabeens, Fafi relies on a central and mythological figure: &lsquo;The Chinaman&rsquo;.<\/p>\n<p>Players consult a Fafi agent, telling him or her their dreams. the agent interprets their dreams assigning numbers to the images that come up in the dream. through this process the player is able to isolate a number, on which to bet money. at two times in a day, all the numbers bet on are collected. And returned to the \u00ab\u00a0Chinaman\u00a0\u00bb who then randomly selects the winning number. This winning number is then circulated back to all the sites of betting with winnings numbers being paid out.<\/p>\n<p>The amazing thing about Fafi is the complex system of distribution and connection of an informal economy. Highly organized, yet clandestine and covert. Fafi is an example worth looking at in thinking through how systems can operate outside of the legal mechanisms of the state or private sector.<\/p>\n<p>Detlev Krige has written an article about this system in african studies Volume 70,\u00a0Number 1, April 2011 , pp. 3-24(22)<\/p>\n<p>&lsquo;We are Running for a Living&rsquo;: Work, Leisure and Speculative Accumulation in an Underground Numbers Lottery in Johannesburg<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab\u00a0In this article the author presents a historically-informed ethnography of a Johannesburg underground lottery. The meaning of this lottery is tied up with the local-level sociological organisation of lottery banks and the various actors who participate in it, with changing conceptions of social class, work and leisure under the conditions of growing inequality and jobless growth, and with the everyday strategies and tactics of lottery runners and punters. The author uses the instance of this lottery to argue for a contextualised, multi-levelled and historically-grounded interpretation of the notions &lsquo;occult economies&rsquo; and &lsquo;mysterious modes of accumulation&rsquo; (Comaroff and Comaroff 1999a, 2000). The prominence of speculative accumulation in the context of this lottery and in the livelihood strategies of those living at the margins of the state and society are strikingly similar to financial practices under the conditions of casino capitalism, financialisation and securitisation in financial markets. In this way the author links local practices of speculative accumulation with translocal processes generated by present-day neoliberal policies and financial capitalism.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style

Le jeu est soumis aux choix subjectifs\u00a0du joueur, o\u00f9 l\u2019 objet est consid\u00e9r\u00e9 comme prolongement du\u00a0corps.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Les mots et les objets \u00e9tant tr\u00e8s narratifs, le joueur, en choisissant\u00a0les relations qu\u2019il \u00e9tablit entre eux, invente son histoire. \u00c0 quoi\u00a0fait-il appel pour effectuer son choix? L\u2019esth\u00e9tique, des souvenirs,\u00a0la place de l\u2019objet sur la table, la croyance?\u00a0C\u2019est comme si le Fafi pr\u00e9sentait une multiplicit\u00e9 d\u2019histoires \u00e0\u00a0construire, comme si ces listes d\u2019objets, de figures et de chiffres\u00a0\u00e9taient des \u00e9l\u00e9ments \u00e0 grouper pour construire une narration. Je\u00a0consid\u00e8re les \u00e9l\u00e9ments de ces gammes comme des mots \u00e0 piocher\u00a0et \u00e0 juxtaposer pour \u00e9crire des histoires, aussi d\u00e9cousues et abstraites\u00a0soient-elles.\u00a0Tout comme l\u2019acteur et le spectateur au th\u00e9\u00e2tre, le joueur qui jongle\u00a0entre diff\u00e9rents statuts du langage, et, par association d\u2019id\u00e9es, de\u00a0souvenirs et d\u2019exp\u00e9riences personnelles, propose une interpr\u00e9tation\u00a0\u00e0 ce qu\u2019il voit.<\/p>\n<p>Casser la lin\u00e9arit\u00e9 d\u2019un texte, c\u2019est donner l\u2019illusion que l\u2019histoire\u00a0peut \u00eatre multiple. Bien que le s\u00e9rialisme ne se construise pas sur\u00a0l\u2019al\u00e9atoire puisque le compositeur respecte pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment les intervalles\u00a0de la s\u00e9rie, il semble \u00eatre une musique d\u00e9cousue et disparate.<\/p>\n<p>De cette mani\u00e8re, le conteur doit pouvoir donner l\u2019illusion au spectateur\u00a0que l\u2019histoire d\u00e9pend de lui, qu\u2019elle est al\u00e9atoire et fluctuante,\u00a0en d\u00e9ployant l\u2019histoire comme une musique s\u00e9rielle, structur\u00e9e par\u00a0des \u00e9l\u00e9ments narratifs et modulaires pr\u00e9cis.<\/p>\n<p>L\u2019histoire est racont\u00e9e avec une gamme de jeu qui conditionne la\u00a0narration, constitu\u00e9e d\u2019 objets, d\u2019 \u00e9l\u00e9ments narratifs, de mots et de\u00a0mouvements d\u2019espace.<\/p>\n<p><i>Tout au long du couloir, \u00e0 intervalles r\u00e9guliers, des tables \u00e9clair\u00e9es par des\u00a0<\/i><i>lampes d\u2019architectes avaient \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9pos\u00e9es pour permettre aux clients de jubiler\u00a0<\/i><i>\u00e0 la vue de leurs biens.

The term is probably not appropriate for such a moment. Even if everything seems to say it\u2019s a performative moment. We go in a bar, we are a big group. The event takes place for a time. There is an esthetic dimension, a concept, etc. We could think it\u2019s a performance. But in fact nothing really \u2018happens\u2019. And the instruction given to us before we go, is to just be there,\u00a0have lunch, spend time, and at some point go to see the fafi man, and play the fafi game. But one element of the rule has been changed: an object has been added (all of the objects are visible on a billiards table), but othewhise it\u2019s just the usual game, with a winner at the end. Nobody performs, we order beer, meal, some of us have a rest. We are customers. The unusual of it is we are a big group of customers in a bar\/restaurant where we never have been before, a place for people from around, most of them regular. In a way, we invade the place.<\/p>\n<p>The experience is strong because obviously i\u2019m not a spectator. There is nothing to see, in terms of attention related to the fact of being an audience. But a lot happens, mostly in terms of feelings during the time of my presence. Precisely because I know it\u2019s, in a way, an \u2018artistic event\u2019, and in fact i\u2019m not shure it is. Because it\u2019s a non daily life time, a singular time, but at the same time it is daily life. Because we play, and we have to do something, decide of the moment we do it, which is a bit strange and I don\u2019t know what\u2019s gonna come from that, and this action is not interesting to be observed by people in the place. but still, something happens.<\/p>\n<p>I could say, we \u2018inhabit\u2019 the place as artists (referring in this to a concept by Julie Perrin). For shure, It\u2019s not about being spectator, the experience has nothing to see with a viewer background in a theatrical or spectacular sense, but it\u2019s about addressing to individuals. In a context of daily life, which stays as a daily life context, but with the singularity of a moment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Auteurs \/ Authors :\u00a0Zen Marie, Garance Coquart, Zachara Raitt Description :\u00a0De la m\u00eame mani\u00e8re que l\u2019on mise sur un\u00a0chiffre, les participants misaient sur un des divers\u00a0objets cheap dispos\u00e9s sur la table de billard,\u00a0achet\u00e9s dans un magasin du quartier.\u00a0Le f\u00e9tichisme des joueurs port\u00e9 habituellement\u00a0sur leur chiffre favori se reportait alors sur l\u2019objet\u00a0choisi.
