Souty, Jérôme. "Du regard détaché à la connaissance initiatique : oeuvre-vie de Pierre Fatumbi Verger." Paris, EHESS, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005EHES0248.
Full textAfter fifteen years of long distance travels, practising a spontaneous style of photography, Pierre Verger (1902-1996) arrived in 1946 in Salvador de Bahia. In 1948 he went to Africa, researching the origines of the afro-brazilian cult (candomblé) in the yoruba and fon traditions of Benin and Nigeria. Ritualy initiated on both parts of the black Atlantic, he has dedicated fifty years of research (ethnography, botany, history) to these cultures. This essay analyses his work and life, insisting on several points : the relation to the Other both as a photographer and as an ethnographer; the place of the image in the research; the limits of a written science of oral cultures and the caracteristics of yoruba orality; the question of "tradition" and the invention of an afro-brazilian collective memory; the importance of silence in Verger's works and the secret's social function in candomblé; the stakes of initiation and of a double cultural identity of the researcher

Full textThe co-operative experiments of the Aja-Fon populations (Benin), from 1930 to 1985, have not entailed the agricultural development of this circle. There, the strictly economical attitude is influenced by religious and cultural values. The agricultural development is considered as the modernization of the agriculture and as the transformation of the production's relations. It's necessary to exceed the polemic maintained about this question by they who assert that the collectivization must precede and entail the mechanization (ideological foundation of the co-operation) and they who affirm that only the mechanization can facilitate the assembling of the agricultural producers (technical foundation of the co-operation). The industrial revolution and the change in the production's relations are all necessary. But, a significant growth of the productivity of the agricultural work, then the growth of the production, from the transformation of the social relations on the base of a simple assembling of the peasants and their traditional tools is impossible. With the Fon, the familial and communautary mode of production set the agriculture out to be a big extent's agriculture, that will be the modernization and the mechanization profitable. For that, the institution of the individualism in the agriculture is a regression. Considering the alienation's right in the traditional practices of the right, it is possible to set up another model of development in Africa. The question is no more to follow Jean-Paul Sartre, "the hell is the others”, and to fall back all on the “others”. This way of doing doesn’t open, truly, each specific socio-cultural space on its own development

Full textOn this research on color symbolism contributing to explain the lack of studies on the use of color in African societies specialy in "Fon in Benin". We can examine "fon", only. From a color is able to express an individual behavior in a social group? To answer this question, we are guided by a psychological method: that that is the capability of an individual to ajust a stimili. Such a method si only one aspect of the subject. Other methods used in this research in order to deepen the research are, a study of structure, of symbolic, etc. . . So; there are other ways to explain the use of color in a certain element. Color, have the power to affect the sensitivity of an individual. It also contribute in the conditioning of Fon people social the contribution of color in the fon sociaty, is totally felt and it plays an important part in social conflicts : color is the support of a symbolic thinking that means color can go from an abstract idea to a material thing. The passage of the notion of color materialy in nature and in the subconssiousness of the people and their behaviour is also an element of language and contionning (symbolichy speaking) it's associated to the spiritual energy and sociological. So, we can discover that most fon's cultes ceremonies are guided by "symbolic chrom" and they are signs of markers of automatie behaviours)

Full textPopular song in the "fon" and "goun" cultures of benin approches this genre of oral literature from a pluridisciplinary standpoint, borrowing its methods of analysis from ethnomusicology, ethnolinguistics and literary semiotics. Taking the genesic myth of aziza, the deity of music, as a point of departure, the author proceeds to dissect the different components of vocal art: melodic, rythmic and verbal. He brings out the the paramount role played by popular song in literary expression in every respect by studying its association with the other genres of "fon" and "goun" oral literature. An exploration of the links between words and music and the semiology of the actual text show that this art not only mingles genres and voices but also takes liberties with language, using its poetry at several levels. Freedom is likewise made plain in the variety of the subject treated and the manifold circumstances under which it is displayed. Where composition is concerned, the structures of popular song obey standards that have been sometimes codified by culture. Dissemination through the media furthermore confers a spatial dimension and widens the audience. When played by western-style orchestras the music undoubtedly acquires new vigor and, of course, international stature. Neverthless, a valid means of preserving to the full those qualities of performance which bring out the inner riches of the art remains to be found. Ultimately, therefore, this study of popular song in

Full textThe policy of cultural decolonization by that of education grows from the concern of culturally conservation to oneself and is not at all dated from nowadays. Rome has been one of the first nations that engaged with that kind of policy, willing to set the Act of education even of its people on traditional vertues tighly overwhelmed with believes and religious parctices. But the change of the people morale mentality due to the weakness of the traditional believes to find solutions to the existant problems lands it in a total failure as far as the fight against the invasion of strange life style is concerned. The overpopulation of the Roman pantheon corresponds with the animism of Fon in Benin. Lègba of these latters identifiable to the Fortuna of the Romans, and the therapy of the divine priest of Lègba finds a psychological recovery through the mental of epicurean as stoic cure. The modernity is not then a vain word, through one should deeply think about it again. The higher bid of plot price in Benin makes people sell forests and the most sacred woods ; and this makes one think about the real reason of the destruction of Marseille sacred forest by Jules Cesar and his army companions. The concern to survive, and even to better live, is an absolutely imperative. Ecological, educational, judicial, moral and teaching vertues of traditional religions and believes depend exclusively on "pietas", in it roman meaning, of the followers of that believe in nowadays. Before doing anything of the traditional vertues, to build on a land or to make a fence - especially as far as the education act of a country is concerned-, it is first of all important to properly make a research on the "pietas" of the followers of thoses religious believers and practices. Finaly, it is necessary to make a research on the world Circum-Mediterraneans that bequeathed tho the western its current culture so as to understand that every culture grows from their preceding or from those with which it have business in common. That is the universal law of cultural cannibalism and many peoples should inevitably and necessary learn to to well behave at the table of cannibalism. For the cultural cannibalism is for each people what enculturation is for every human being. And it would be a wortheless joke to try to avoid it
Crouzet, Yvan. "Les Hausa de Garoua (Nord-Cameroun) : identité et intégration d'une communauté immigrée." Paris, INALCO, 1999. http://www.theses.fr/1999INAL0016.
Full textThe aim of this thesis is to determine the constituent elements of the collective identity of the Hausa tradesmen and craftsmen settled in the Peul Kingdom of Garoua (Northern Cameroon), and also to determine the factors which have favoured, or on the contrary hindered, the integration of this community into the Garoua and "Grand-Nord" society, moreover into the Cameroonian nation. The study of the identity of the Hausa of Garoua requires the prior study of the Hausa people's identity, through its origins, heterogeneous, its founding myth, through to the social, political and economic organisation of the "Hausa land". The specific identity of the Hausa of Garoua and Northern Cameroon and consequently to their membership of a huge diaspora. The second part is devoted to the study of socio-cultural components of the Hausa identity, as revealed by the fieldwork, specially through the examination of the main patterns and poles of socialisation : the family, the professional guilds and the Muslim community. The last part opens with the presentation of the two geo-socio--politics spaces : Garoua and the "Grand-Nord" on the one hand, the Cameroonian nation on the other hand, within which the Huasa community had to become integrated. An integration that was successful in the first space, although within the limits set by the Peul aristocracy ; but difficult in the second space because of, at once, the state's partiality and the Hausa's reticence facing modernity values
Sissao, Alain-Joseph. "La littérature orale moaaga comme source d'inspiration de quelques romans burkinabé." Paris 12, 1995. http://www.theses.fr/1995PA120022.
Full textThis work aims at elucidating the process of creation in contemporay burkinabe written literature by some novelists. The main conjecture of this work is articulated around this assertion : the moaaga oral literature is a source of inspiration for this written literature. To this end, our investigation has led us to conclude that the latter gets is material from the cultural sub-foundations of moaaga oral literature. The exploration is done around linguistic and cultural base of the oral literature of the moose - the proverb, riddle of short tale, the war name, fable , short story - which make up the base of inspiration for the novelists. These narrative and non narrative types appear as the most dominant level of borrowxing from moaaga oral tradition. At a lower level of borrowing, the traditional narrotors, more discreet, are used as real witnesses of moaaga oral literature. The transformation of integrated speeches and their polyphony is at the centre of the question of intertextuality. For this, the examination of some key motifs drawn from oral literature and moaaga folklore univeil the subtle influence of moaaga traditional literature. The burkinabe novelists this reingject the moaaga oral traditional while adapting their creation to the new situation which is no longer thart of traditional africa, but rather that of modern africa in the midist of change

Full textThe twofold reception of traditional and western cultures relies on the intercultural production within a population of Africa continent, in this case the Fang of Gabon. Founded on an ethnographical field, the reception theories are essentially based on the psychology of media receivers and they allow us to define and understand the behaviours of the members of a given cultural and speech community within the contexts of intercultural communication. The twofold reception is based on a population not only imbued with its own culture but also with the one of other Gabonese and African communities. However at the top of the main framework of the twofold reception are the relationships with the western culture. These intercultural relationships result from colonization and from current modern influences (Europe and the United States of America). The causes of rejections, negotiations and reappropriations in the contexts of intercultural communication can be explained by the reconstruction of the social reality. The aim of the first part is to look into the history of Fang society and study the making of sense of the first intercultural contacts during colonization. The emphasis on the impact of colonial government, schools and modern skills, ways of life, conversion to christianism, trade and others. The second part focuses on the traditional means of communication peculiar to the Fang (mvett, tales, legends, proverbs, traditional rejoicing songs) and to the western world (radio and television). It is a study about the respective influences of those means of communication within that community. The last part presents the new experimental field and shows the extent of the intercultural production in the contemporary Fang society. It is based on the thematically analysis of audio-visual works and it studies the different perceptions of the receivers about the future of the traditional culture when they are confronted with the phenomena of interculturality

Full textDespite of the incomplete and eurocentric aspect of the written, iconographic and museographical sources, the coming of the Europeans in Southern Africa had deep consequences in the evolution of the material culture of the indigenous populations. The success of most of the new foreign products : metals, glass beads, tobacco, clothing, fire-arms. . . Should be considered according to previous realities charcterised by a great receptivity, and to the capacity of each society to perceive and use those products as a "progress". It appears that this "progress" was not oriented towards a better material confort, neither towards a greater technical knowledge, but rather to improve human relationship between individus. The various european bringings gave way to the development of craftmanships and to original african art traditions. On the opposite, the Europeans were quite passive. The colonists which were living about the south african frontier were even influenced by the african materialm culture, althought it is not always admitted

Full textThis work of thesis, work of readings, searches, fieldworks social, reflection and analysis allowed me to tilt me on the question, how much complex, but vital, of the education. My problem was to try to investigate the education given to the young people in traditional context of Benin, and to ask me if this education allows these young people to feel public-spirited of the full world, without being totally cut by their roots. Then to see if by the school education we manage to open the same young people to the universal values and to make of them citizens of the world, without cutting them totally of their roots. I managed to ask myself the question of the cultural implanting and the banishment in touch with the question of the school education. Where from the title of this thesis: " socialization in traditional environment and school education: cultural implanting and banishment in education ". I analyzed, on one hand, the position of my interlocutors on what transmits, according to them, the family education then the functions that they expect from the school education, and on the other hand, I studied the real functions of the school. I approached the whole on an analytical and critical reflection, with in light my problem on the education as between implanting and banishment. How to understand the fact of the education as an implanting, that is a consideration of the identity of the subject in education, of his past, of its roots? And how understand the education as the banishment, the break, the cut with roots, the opening in the others? In the term of this work which so consisted in looking for the representations and the educational practices in traditional environment and to the school in Benin, I tried to determine, between tradition and modernity, the report between the representations and the educational practices in environment traditional as to the school. There is sometimes a distance between the representations and the practices of the same individuals: people do not still make that they say that they make. So, between traditional education and schooling, the problem is not so much preservation and the transmission of a valuable scale but, I would say, of the necessary composition of sometimes contradictory values between them

Due to the social and political mixture which caused it to lose its authenticity, the yaka-luwa society became both mi-traditional and mi-modern, and was therefore bound to denitely turn to the future in the same society

Full textPolitical unity and territorial kingdom Kongo ended with the arrival of Europeans among Bakongo. In effect, started by the Portuguese from 1482 and relayed by other Europeans among which the Dutch, the Spanish, the Italian, the French and English, the European presence in the kingdom Kongo had two important impacts : the slave trade and evangelization of peoples. The consequences of these two phenomenons were not only the end of the power of State organized on a large space, but also new influences, and even ruptures, sociocultural among all peoples Bakongo.At the time of systematic occupation of Africa by the European colonial powers, the area of the Territory Kongo fell mainly under the domination french, belgian and Portuguese.This thesis deals with the shock colonial of society Kongo facing occupation portuguese, mass emigration of populations of the north of Angola to the Belgian Congo and the consequences sociocultural which resulted. As to the question methodological and to that of the use of historical data, it was stressed the importance of oral sources that allow another approach of the past which, in turn, makes emerge the concepts of "history in Africa" and "History of Africa". Without sacrificing the scientific rigor, this thesis has privileged the vision of the history of Africa in which the African ceases to be considered as a simple object of the history to become a subject of history

Full textThis thesis is part of that field of ethnological studies which concerns the transnational movements of the intangible cultural heritage. It deals with the appropriation of the djembé, a West African drum, by Quebec society. Beginning with a multidisciplinary approach which draws on ethnology, history and ethnomusicology, this thesis adds to our knowledge regarding music making in Quebec and to the research which seeks to understand how new forms of intangible cultural heritage are created at the local level within a global context. The study of the transnational migration of the drum tells the story its evolution, along with the recontextualization and the adaptation of playing styles and the transformations of its Mandinka repertoire in Quebec. Following is a Quebec genealogy relating to the manner in which the drum, beaten by hand, illustrates the global nature of traditions linked by percussive rhythms. Lastly, the ethnography of these practices and the oral research carried out in conjunction with recreational djembé players demonstrate that this cultural activity is, first and foremost, the expression of a form of “social corporeality, ” that is, the construction of, new, albeit transitory, socio-musical entities. Synchronizing the bodies engaged in producing the beat and the rhythm requires as well developing a mind set so as to build a heightened presence of belonging to the group. Furthermore, this drumming activity appears at various social events in addition to those focusing on music. The potential, found in djembé playing, to create a collective experience through the synchronizing of bodies is used for relieving stress in recreational contexts, for teambuilding in the workplace, for motivating youth to persevere in their studies at both primary and secondary levels and, last but not least, in opening new channels for communication with autistic children or those showing behavioural problems at school.
