Ebah, Mathias Codjo. "L'Afrique au fond des yeux : conceptions contemporaines de l'histoire africaine." Reims, 1993. http://www.theses.fr/1993REIML006.
Full textFor centuries africa has been at the center of european preocupations. It is evidentz when we study the manuscrit from the fifteenth to the twentieth century. But this continent had rathes been studied with prejudices than with reliable scientific methods. An ever if africa is closer to europe than the other continents, it is presented as isolated un-welcoming, without a true history and above all culturraly empty. If then proved to be of some interest being a continent rich in slaves and manpower. On the contrary, in asia systematic excavations were soon carried out, granding in the title of cradle of civilization. But in fact, for several de cades, thanks to scientific discoveries made by french and americans researchers, we begin to see africa with different way. It is nowadays proved that africa has not only been the cradle of civilization, but also the starting point of cultural and agricultural seats which had a universal unfluence. Africa once more saw itself propelled on the international scene with the colonization which gave the african people the opportunity to regain the control of their destinies. Therefore it is totaly lawful that every partenaires know each other at last, to examine objectiviely of the futur of humanity. For the african people the remebrance of things past must not lead to dejection. It is an exhortation to work. That's why have analized the present economical, social and political situation which is problematic. This report made us elaborate a cultural and economical recovery plan. We do know the difficulties and pitfalls, but thanks to a true awareness and good collaboration with the occident, the african continent can recover its dignity

Full textThe researches deal with: - autobiographical narration of an oral text: the specificities of oral traditions and oral texts, - the role of orality in the development of a community: the professional speaker; the part of youth literature in Africa; morals and organization of Africa societies, problems of cultures interrelation in the memoirs. It is worth dealing with the questions evolved in the memoirs. These questions are: - Can a culture grow without contacts with other cultures? - Does interculturality mean a new social environment to be assimilated in terms of identity? - What are the roles of the colonial school, Muslim school, and the school of the tradition? - What could be the part of cultural contacts in the development of a community? Culture consists of ways of thinking, feeling, and behaviour of the different communities of which it is made of; it is the result of contacts and interrelationship between different groups of individuals. Therefore, any culture can be viewed as the mixture of different cultures. The exchanges that result give birth new ways of thinking, feeling, and behaviour. Lndeed, interculturality is the contacts of different cultures, and implies reciprocal respect of the cultures involved. It raises the question of how to live together with people from different cultures
Goncalves, Davi. "L'éducation du travailleur en santé professionnelle : [ la situation des travailleurs brésiliens." Paris 8, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997PA081384.
Full textThis is a diagnostic essay of education applied to the prevention of illness and work-related accidents in brazil. The study analyses the role which the economic, educational, anthropological and philosophical undercurrents of brazil's social structure play on the subject. Formal education was used by the ruling classes as a tool to create a trained labour force, not citizens. The worker education in professional health is a by-product, based on making profits. The dynamic chain of these events are: 1. The government tries to convince employers that so-called preventive measures can increase productivity. 2. But the employers see no growth. So they don't invest in teaching employees about prevention. 3. The number of accidents and work-related illnesses continue to rise. 4. The government and the employers blame the workers. 5. The workers defend themselves psychologically and succumb to the traditional notion of the destiny, predestination, spiritual forces or will of god. The author explicits this chain of ideas and facts : the influences of catholicism, protestantism, spiritism, beliefs of indigenous peoples and of africans lead the brazilians to have a dualistic interactive world view. It's this world view that underlies the worker's interpretation of the facts related his work-related accidents and illness. The research showed that two symbiotic features helped to create a pseudo conscience among workers. First of all, the official pedagogical material on prevention convinces the workers of their own exclusive responsibility for work-related health problems (illnesses and accidents). Secondly, workers find some comfort behind their hypostasis of the situation. They attribute their unhappiness to uncontrollable spiritual forces and a predetermined destiny

Full textThe ambiguous image furnished by the westerner Europe concerning the black Africa and its inhabitants date from the middle ages. During many centuries, the Negro humanity was represented and perceived through the gaze of some thinkers, philosophers or writers as human diversity both revealed and refused. In the twentieth century, the African elite put pen to paper and definit itself in the human history. In spite of this rehabilitation the ambiguity of the african identity remain implacable. The Kane and the Oyono's novels are the convincing illustration

Full textDeep-rooted in "live metaphysics", the holiotic dimension of the negro-african universe, made of synergy and intelligence, convergence and membrality - that is to say of reciprocal interaction happens to be strongly shaken in an africa that more and more chooses occidental science and technics as a means to get out of the deadloks of underdevelopment. Nevertheless these science and technics are not "falling from the sky". They bear a history, tradition and culture. But they also drain their myths, beliefs and blindness. So true is it that adopting, adapting or transferring to africa what we will call techno-science do not go without raising new challenges. The future of man will not be technoscientific. The development of africa will be less a matter of competence and material means than that of ethics. Africa must invent and create for itself new paradigms of significance and new meanings out of the action of articulating rationalities and through the dynamics of contaries promised to improvement and to pluridimensionality. The fundamental project will have been to answer this question : "wich science for which africa"? a question culminating in this other one : "which ethics in an africa in quest of an authentic development"?

Full textFrench guyanas is a part of south america situated between brazil and suriname. After its discovery in the 15th century is was bitterly disputed by the european nations. Slavery for blacks was then imagined as a mean of developpint it. The white settlers then tired hard toimpose their culture on the slaves. But the memory of black heritage was preserved first by the maroon slaves, those slaves how escaped from the plantations and formed groups, then by the bossales ans the creoles thus creating a synthesis of the two cultures. The survival of this african culture can be found first in our daily pratises, may it be materially or spiritually ; secondly in an oral litterature made up of folk tales and proverbs found in the songs ans in the dances. Furthermore a written litterature which apparead later but which remains quite modest in nature, reactivals this african memory since rene maran. With the negritude movement the african theme was exclusively used in the search for identity. This could be found in the work of leon damas and other writers who succeeded him but is progressively declining. Thus the object of this thesis was to make an attempt at listing what we think remain

Full textThrough the example of Lebaudy-Griaule’s collection of the University of Strasbourg, this research tries to answer, according to an interdisciplinary approach, to interrogations related to the evolution of African creation, in our globalized context, and, particularly, in Burkina Faso, cultural area determined by the origin of the masks a-dunε koromba of our corpus. The first part consists of a historical exploitation of the collection to understand the conditions of collecting artifacts and the new values which they were invested by "decontextualization". The second part is the opportunity to document the artifacts of our corpus and analyze the evolution of traditional creation in situ. The third part focuses on the relationship between contemporary art and traditional African creation in the era of globalization

Full textThe federal germany's foreign policy as applied to developing countries and specifically to the countries of sub-saharan africa gives no special place to cultural relations as such. Whether it is expressed in the general framework of development aid, or in that of training aid, "cultural aid for self-help" and its many guises, the record is generally unsatisfactory and necessitates repeated attempts at conceptualisation. Although this conceptualisation integrates various aspects of a shared demand for a new and more just world economic order, it nevertheless shows the limitations inherent in the very nature of cultural relations

Full textIn which to base an ethic of the subjet and what place should be allowed to particular cultures and histories in a new context characterized by globalization? To answer this question, asked from Africa, we had first to show the paucity of any anthropological approach and, therefore, of any ethical approach. If Fabien Eboussi was the starting point of our inquiry in the African context, Xavier Thévenot and Bénezet Bujo in theology, and Emmanuel Levinas in philosophy, who were both the proof of this paucity and our guides in looking for a new anthropolgical place on which to base an ethics of the subject that is universal. This new place is the « ancestrogenesis », that is to say ancestrality designed as a source of responsability vis-à-vis all past and future human generations. This place both anthropological and ethical is under contruction since the beginning of human time. Each one is invited to participate in responsability to the humanization of humanity through the struggles in favor of every human being within range. We have applied this ancestrogenesis to theological ethics by placing Christ at the summit. As a human being, He is an ancestor among other ancestors, ascending and descending, but in a specific way. As creative Word of God, He is Pro-ancestor, in the sense that He is the inspiration and the one that delivers the ultimate meaning of history. So, what is the best position to adress the ethics of subjet, to make human beings responsible on universal issues that transcend religions, histories ans cultures, while making Christ the main Subject of history ? We offer a tangential position that frees an ethicist from excessive influence of his own morals ans allows him to fraternize with all humans. Provided he avoids making an ideology with pluralism and he fights superficiality that awaits syncretism to which such a peripheral position is exposed.

Full textThe remarkable growth in the contemporary religious field all sorts of forms of "popular religiosity" within or outside established religious institutions may seem a paradox in this third millennium. Thus, in the case of Christianity, it is established that throughout its history the question of religious beliefs and practices popular saying has often been perceived as the domain of the survivals of paganism that the institution had to fight. Field of Catholicism in Africa, the question of "popular religiosity" is also an issue and this, in the context of a widespread religious ferment, while feeding on the resources offered by the Christian tradition also draws the pool of religion and traditional culture. This phenomenon presents itself as a new way to worship and live the Christian faith that challenges the theological and pastoral responsibility of the Church. By its exponential character and his strong theological and anthropological dimension, the problem of "popular religiosity" became a religious and social condition which must not remain indifferent to anyone interested in the present and the future of the young and dynamic African Christianity

Abodohoui, Alexis. "Influence of Chinese management soft power on African skills development." Doctoral thesis, Université Laval, 2019. http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11794/36633.
Full textThis thesis focuses on the Influence of Chinese management soft power on African skills development. The fundamental research question is: how were Africans who studied in China influenced by Chinese soft power? Have they developed managerial skills like Chinese managers or entrepreneurs? To answer these questions, the first article offers a synthetic perspective of the works done on China-Africa between 2014-2015. Based on this literature review, Chinese investments in Africa, the actors, and motivations, mode of entry, impacts and management challenges were analyzed in the light of theories in international management. This review offers new perspectives for exploring Chinese investments in African countries and contributes to the body of knowledge on Sino-African relations. In the second article, due to the growing integration of the two regions, a comparison of managerial practices between China and African countries was made. The purpose of this article is to facilitate this understanding through a critical analysis of the literature. Based on our analysis, some similarities and divergences related mainly to management foundations, managerial styles, networking and entrepreneurship were identified. The third article analyzes, through acculturation theory, the influence of Chinese culture on the managerial practices of Africans trained in China. Based on multiple linear regression, this article analyzes not only the effect of acculturation on the development of entrepreneurial capacities but also the moderating role of networking on the different on acculturation. As for the last article, it makes it possible to identify the managerial and entrepreneurial capacities developed by Africans during their stay in China. Using an interpretive methodological approach and based on the Soft Power theory, the themes that emerge from the cognitive repertoire of African managers and that reflect the capacities developed are: network development, risk-taking, optimism and pragmatism. The results of this study provide new perspectives for the exploration of Chinese soft power in Africa. They show that China does not only influence through aids, investments, economic model, etc. but it also inspires many countries due to its management ideas known as Chinese Management Soft Power. Keywords: managerial practices; soft power; African management; Chinese management; knowledge transfer; entrepreneurship, capacity building, cultural adaptation; investments.

Full textThis study focuses on the representation of post-apartheid space in indigenous South African fiction films. I work towards a definition of cinematic post-apartheid space, putting forth its ambivalent relations to the apartheid past, between heritage and rejection, on the levels of geographical space, socio-economic space and, mostly, represented space. I situate myself at the intersection of South African cultural studies and reflections on post-apartheid space, and of the study of the new South African cinema. I focus on fiction since it gives most room for filmmakers to represent space as they perceive it, or desire it, to be, and on feature films which carry most of the South African industry’s ambitions in terms of international recognition.I first look at the heritage of apartheid in terms of the South African film industry, the divisions of the national territory and the structure of the South African city. I argue that post-apartheid cinematic space is first and foremost defined in relation to apartheid space, whether in opposition or in terms of heritage. However, recurrent representations of individual trajectories clash with that inherited geography and are a means for filmmakers to distance themselves from the previously prescribed relations between characters and space. I also argue that the definition of a new South African identity is crucial to the characterization of post-apartheid space in films. The ambiguous representations of township space or African foreigners in South African films and the emphasis on the nationality of films in film reception put forth how deeply paradoxical the reinvention of space and identity is in post-apartheid South Africa
