Graduates know that la chance decides whether they succeed or fail. Susann Ludwig shows that this concept embodies common sense as much as it offers the possibility of the extraordinary. Graduates play »the game of la chance«, in which success is defined by a continuation of play rather than an end goal. Providing an explorative experience to the reader, this study accounts for the elusiveness of la chance in the Bamako context and beyond. 410 0$aKultur und Soziale Praxis Series 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / Cultural & Social$2bisacsh 610 $aAfrica. 610 $aCultural Anthropology. 610 $aEconomic Sociology. 610 $aEconomy. 610 $aEthnology. 610 $aGameplay. 610 $aKnowledge Production. 610 $aMali. 610 $aNeoliberalism. 610 $aScience. 610 $aUncertainty. 610 $aUniversity Graduates. 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / Cultural & Social. 676 $a302.12096623 700 $aLudwig$b Susann$01750889 712 02$aSwiss National Science Foundation (SNSF)$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910875596303321 996 $aLa Chance$94185640 997 $aUNINA
