Djemgou, Tonmeba Eliane Flore. "Attractivité territoriale et imaginaire touristique du pays bamiléké : réinvention de la tradition des chefferies et de la pratique des funérailles." Thesis, Paris 1, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017PA01H068.
Full textOur research deals with the new invention of a tradition meant to alter the territorial attraction and tourist imagination of the bamileke land in Cameroun. Our questioning is about that new invention of the tradition and the patrimonialization which help make the bamileke funerals and chiefs palaces tourist attraction. This work highlights the logic and strategies of the actors in setting up tourist projects in bamileke areas. For man y years, the chiefs palaces have been marked with the logic of patrimony or tourism. Those actions deeply modify their organization, their functioning and their relationships with the local population and their nationals. These changes presently make the bamileke chiefs palace a tourist attraction for foreign tourist. Nevertheless the area ruled by chief casts a negative image to a Cameroonians. For the latter, it is a sacred territory full of taboos and associated with a mystical imagination. For a long time, that imagination estranged the Cameroonians from those lands ruled by bamiléké chiefs. Nowadays, those traditional institutions are targeted by the policy of tourist development through decentralization and different international cooperation. The new invention of the tradition in bamileke festivals and funerals help improve the efficacy of the attraction and of the tourist imagination of the bamileke land. The logic and strategies set up by the different actors are not alike. If for some the logic is purely sociocultural and economic (the actors of tourist development) for others, that logic is about the research of prestige (funeral planners). In this survey, two main conclusions are to be considered; although the tradition has been invented anew by the promoters of tourist development in the bamiléké areas, they are hardly attractive for national tourist. The museum and guest huts are not considered as tourist attraction by the nationals. Only festivals and funerals draw more and more Cameroonian toward bamileke lands. Different logic of innovation action has been set up by the festivals and funerals planners in order to attract a great number of Cameroonians to the bamileke areas

Full textThe country of the bamileke is an environment where two organizations of domestic economy co-exist and interpenetrate. - The first, rising from the bare, develops in the network of traditional solidarity. It is more a community than an organization and has difficulty in evolving into a more structured economy. - the second, coming down from the top, is an outside organization which, in the context of bamileke, finds that its mode of management does not permit it to attain the levels of efficiency and competence necessary for functioning smoothly. This is why it would be useful, in the framework of an authentic regional development, to look to the establishment of new structures which would soften the conflict between different ways of thinking, thus making more harmonious - the passage from community to economic organization - the passage from solidarity to high turnover

Full textThe language area in a bamileke chiefdom is a monograph on one of the hundred chiefdoms which are located in the center west of camerron. It is called bangoua and it has six thousand inhabitants. This monograph consists of five parts, namely: the history of the chiefdom, the kinship system, the way society is organised, economical development and social structure. The historical data shows that this society was made up by the progressive overlapping of a segmentary lineage system and chieftain-centred political organisation. The independant analysis of these two institutions reveals that, although they both have the same basic structure, beliefs and economical activities promoted by the kinship system and the political organisation are quite different. The dichotomy between structure and self concept (meaning) explains that the bangoua were able to have two kinds of beliefs and two different economical practises without this causing unbearable congtradictions. The constant switching between the kinship system belief and those of the political organisation is one of the main factor infuencing the bangoua's adaptation to a western-system economy. The bamileke dynamism has been explained by demographic growth and their geographical situation, but it has been proven with other tribes (cf. Kirdi of north cameroon) that, when these two conditions exist, the society does not become necesseraly enterprising

Full textCreated in the 1960s, "cultural associations of traditional dance" have become, along with brotherhoods of notables, the legitimate representatives of Bamileke chiefdoms, a showcase for their grandeur and influence. These dance groups are headed by the cadets, whom anthropology has considered for a long time to be a subordinate group that plays a part in the social reproduction of the palace hierarchy and institution of chieftaincy. This reinterpretation of the biographical itineraries of these "young" men - during the 20th century - comes out of an ethnological study of the network of associations that have given shape to Bamileke chiefdoms. Thios dominant characteristic is used to analyze retrospectively the status assigned to "young" men during various periods and the places where new values originate among them. Two major hypotheses underlie this research. First of all, assessing the position of notables in relation to the cadets during the history of the Grassfield chiefdoms entails examining the place and importance of the associations to which they belong. Secondly, given that the deceased are a primary reference group, in whose names the customary ordre and foundation of chieftancy are justiofied, the evolving role played by Bamileke youth cannot be studied without taking under consideration both their involvment in, and commitment to, customs as well as customary knowledge, and their prerogatives in the events expected by the deceased. These expectations are revealed through the commemorations performed by the associations headed by cadets

Full textThe recent cash crops’ crisis tends to accelerate social and economic changes in bamileke's and beti's cocoa and coffee small-holdings : a large number of planters have adopted defensive behaviors such as agricultural diversification, look for more secure activities, or rentier investments. In 1993 hope for an economical recovery was still in the minds, in spite of financial and political problems. So that very few planters were willing to cut their cocoa or coffee trees. However, it seems clear that adjustment policies planned by the world and the IMF have had some dramatic consequences on farming systems: reorganization of parastatals societies, disappearance of financial subsidies, of the marketing boards, and of the "prix minimum garanti". Consequently, as regards to the macro-economical situation, one can wonder if export crops' economy will survive in the next few years. The changing role played by cocoa or coffee in modeling each precolonial and present society is also discussed. The new behaviors - or those that seem new - are closely related to the collective and permanent ways of thinking. Do these societies have the ability to face such a complex crisis? Are they enough flexible to improve social change?

Full textThere is in the “bamileke land” (Western Cameroon) a specific belief according to which some individuals can create an invisible bond with an animal “alter ego”. We aim here at understanding the social and cultural role of this belief, its evolution in contemporary society, and the social dynamics linked with it. Animal “were-beings” are appearing at two main levels. First in the political sphere, where they are used to legitimate the prominent social position of initiated people, in a context of fierce social competition about nobility titles with new economic elites. Second in the witchcraft discourse, where several types of “alter ego” are called upon through charges, mainly resulting from structural conflicts between successors and non-successors in kin groups. The public autopsy, carried on during bereavements, is one of the main rituals where such a belief is used and transmitted

Full textThis is a study of the return migration from the point of view of the former migrant. It helps understanding how the latter has been shaped through migration. Back home, the way he acts, his face to face encounter with the world of the village put him in a universe that fosters a new, intentionally produced, art of living. Returning back to the countryside is not synonymous with returning to rural life. In the rural setting, one will try to live according to a life style similar to the urban one. The urban way of life acts on village life from within. Several of its components can be found to overlap : they come from the village, the town, and places further beyond. Away from the urban way of life that constitutes pockets within the village, and spread around, social hierarchies can be found which, at the same time, change and remain the same. A new nobility makes its appearance, especialy through wealth, but it keeps the same outlook in its dayly life style

Full textOur topic “ Western Christianity in the test of African religious values: the case of Catholicism in Bamiléké land ( 1906 – 1995 ) ” portrays the history of Christianity and its consequences on the Bamiléké people. Political and economic circumstances made possible the first evangelization of the African continent which one of the constituents was the oncoming civilizing mission of western cultures and civilizations. This civilizing mission in the long run had a nagative impact on the credibility of Christian message. This message hit its target due to its non-dissociability. The contribution of our work to History consisted in collecting facts related to the missionaries deeds and the native assistants who allowed setting it up to 1964. The Roman Catholic Church was sufficiently established in the region, considering the statistics of conversions, birth and growth of the native clergy, the increase of the number of parishes and auxiliary missions. So, our field of study comes as a striking example of the expansion of Christianity in Africa within the framework of the colonial expansion in the XIXth century. Today, the assessment of the first evangelization seems mitigate and the ambition of the second one wishes to be more attentive to the cultural realities of people in general, the African, thus the Bamiléké in particular. This process began with Vatican II and sanctify by Post Synodal Exhortation Apostolique, Ecclesia in Africa in 1995

Full textThe study of supernatural characters in a given set of Wolof fairy tales enable us to appreciate the richness and diversity of such supernatural representations like the Wild Beast Mother, the jinn and the ogress that appear in West African fairy tales. But some supernatural characters, example the Mother Bush and the Head that kills, are specific to the wolof background. However, beyond the identification, the proper use of such supernatural representations raises some questions related to two main problems. First their functioning inside a well-organized universe in which their apparent chaos is but faked. The second problem deals with their functions in the tales. By "function", we mean not only their roles in the fairy tales but also their "finality". This notion of finality requires a deeper analysis in order to lead to hypothesis bringing a particular conception of the supernatural universe in fairy tales. In fact, in such problematic wholly built on the fundamental notion of change, the theme of initiation place an essential role. The supernatural universe in fairy tales is a primordial factor in the elaboration of a Wolof model for the creation of a mental person that presents itself like a social being realized into the concepts of twinage and alter. This item or model is the mould in which the future initiated will find the guide lines allowing him to be in conformity with the Wolof ideal notion of the Human Being

Full textIn Cameroon, the term "Bamileke" refers to an area, a territory which shelters people who have been named as such, perhaps for colonial and political reason. The Bamileke people constitute an extremely vast ethnic group, who are socially organised in several autonomous traditional entities called chiefdoms. There are over a hundred such chiefdoms and each is different from the other; in fact, they characteristically foster similarities and differences, alliances and conflicts although they all share common functional features: some traditional practices – for example, skull worship – are typical of all the chiefdoms. In my triple capacity as priest, heir and clinician-psychologist, I dedicate my existence, my life, my thought and my clinical work, all together, to assist my fellow humans. From a therapist's standpoint, and drawing on my personal experience, I set out to examine how the Bamilekes have accepted christianity and made it compatible with their traditional divinities and obligations. I wonder how they manage to handle such opposing customs and contradictions, how they interact with so many masters, reconciling their traditional divinities and the Christian God as well as the requirements of modern life. My main focus in the study is the area of 'psychological health' care

Full textFostering is an informal traditional institution which allows biological parents to send a child to other parents of their choice so they can raise him/her in conformance with the foster-parents. As a system which evolves around exchange and reciprocity in societies where it is recognised, this practice is framed by legal rules and duties defined by its protagonists. This can mean for example, that the biological parents of the foster-child also have the simultaneous right to welcome other children and raise them, becoming foster-parents in turn. Here we try to give more emphasis to the evolution of the practice of fostering within Bamileke’s families, natives of Cameroon and living in migratory situation in France, an environment where stress is placed on the biological aspect of parental educational relationships. The implementation of an informal institution in the formalized and regulated frame that is French society, the complete control by the state and its services on the child’s movements outside the biological family, the confrontation between fostering parenthood and biological parenthood which is a growing trend in France with regard to child education, are new educational data for the bamileke foster-parents. The emergence of a new social outlook on child and parents relationships, administrative bureaucracy, as well as the disappearance of the visits which kept the kinsfolk in touch and ensured links between the various protagonists in traditional societies, have now become the evolutionary basis for fosterage in migratory situation

Full textThe majority of African countries south of the Sahara have known, since the end of the Second World War, a population growth hither to unknown coopted with rapid urbanization. The change in the population structure of sub-Saharan Africa poses a priori series of problems for the provision of foodstuffs for the towns. Certain studies lead us to believe they will be a real catastrophic by the end of the century. We conjure up, for example “the food weapon”. Aware of these risks, the majority of African politicians are showing the will to develop the agriculture sector and in particular food crops. Such is the case of the Cameroon typical of sub-Saharan Africa; the total population of the Cameroon has raised consistently since1950. The rural/ urban ration tends towards equilibrium. How, under these circumstances to arrive at food self-sufficiency or, in the case of Cameroon, to maintain it. Several studies show a relative self-sufficiency to the point where we speak of “the store house of Africa”. It appears necessary to consider simultaneously: on one hand the changes n tastes and diet in the demand notably urban, on the other hand ability to adapt of producing zones. This returns again to the study of the chains of commerce as well as the agricultural politics practiced by the state. Studies taken Daoula and in the western province underline the active role of Bamiléké in the supply of towns. A closknit community they have created small businesses (including small retail outlets) which contribute to the fulfillment of urban alimentary demand. Although illegal these are both a source of occupation and of revenue, they also supply a need and enable the sale of very small quantities. The State has to be aware of this and not favor uniquely the development of cash crops and/ or products for exportation. Rather than a break with the country, the urbanization could lead to a new dynamism. The correlation therefore between urbanization and alimentary dependence shows itself, a priori, to be full of nuances

Full textThe hierarchical system of the Inongo age-groups, among the mongo people of Zaïre, was in a tacit conflict with the Belgian colonial administrators who distabilised the ligneage position, especially by limiting the control over the younger ones. Paradoxically, the traditional hierarchy adopted for themselves the adminitrative titles. For example, the title "engambi" (elder) became the "eloi" which is the deformed vesion of the French word "roi" for a king (with reference to the Belgian king). Why identify oneself with one's oppressor? Is it not a case of resignation and alienation? We hold that this hierarchy had two arms before its opponents : on the one hand, the magico-spiritual arm which consists in using the titles of his adversary to assume his powers ; on the other hand, the cultural arm which "played the resignation and alienation game" in order to appear docile before his powerful oppressor. Thus, by a pseudo-collaboration, the traditionnel hierarchy infiltrated into the rural administration to mark his socio-political organisation. In other words, the Inongo age-group systems, through this infiltration which is one of the principal sources of inspiration for public action in the rural administration, inculturates the state and moderated its violence. Alienation and resignation become, therefore, less a collaboration than a subtle political action that we define as "a contemporary reinstrumentalisation of socio-political organisation of age-group to inculturate the state"

Full textThe Bamileke society of Western Cameroon, marked by a hierarchical social structure based on customary references in the course of evolution, is crossed by conflicts that can be identified in social relations. These tensions crystallize on the occasion of ceremonies such as the mourning of a commoner, field of the observations of this thesis. The sociological and ethnological analysis of these conflicts and the modalities of their practical management, with a view to the unfolding of mourning ceremonies in its entirety, mobilizing the theoretical tools of negotiation and social transactions in the permanent elaboration of compromises, what this work analyses throughout the grieving process. The empirical sources and methods crossed with the theoretical references show that, relatives of the deceased, in terms of sets of actors and in relation to different frame of constraints (customary, socio-economic, temporal...) organize themselves to manage conflicts through negotiation or transactions dynamics that always lead to relative and temporary compromises. At first marked by the time of mourning, these compromises participate more widely in the local recomposition of social relations and the relationship between tradition and modernity in Bamileke society

Full textThis thesis aims at analyzing the collective memory content imbedded in an oral literature speech performance, right from the message transmission to its understanding and preservation. We are to explain how an oral literature speech production and its performance can retitute the Loma cultural values.The epic retraces the history of a former war leader among the Loma people of the Republic of Guinea; a history which still remains a vibrant part of the people's culture in that country. Because it doesn't exist any former written version of the epic, we ensured its transcription into Lɔɠɔmagooh language (a loma variant) and also its translation into French language.Beside the geographical and cultural presentation of the Loma area and people, the real corpus analysis in which we mobilize both performance and rethorics also takes into account the multicoding nature of the social, historical and cultural messages and their reception dynamics. We focus attention on the specific discursive technics of oral literature or tradition which exist in tales and proverbs.However, our work is not just limited to transcription and translation of the epic production. Our analysis shows how oral tradition constitutes an essential dimension of the epic genre whose discursive and referential deepness is the reflection of the artistic and memorial work of the orator
