Abstract: A new tool for communication, the cellular telephone has made inroads in Africa, bringing with it changes in social behavior. This article examines the effects of this technology on social life, particularly on social relations in the Congo. It attempts to show that cellular telephones are at the origin of new forms of sociability and new ways of “living together.”
