Prévôt, Nicolas. "Jouer avec les dieux : chronique ethnomusicologique d'un rituel annuel de village au Bastar, Chhattisgarh, Inde centrale." Paris 10, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005PA100146.
Full textThe music of the Ganda mohoriya-s of Bastar (shawm and kettle drums) is made of series of tunes (not fixed in advance) dedicated to some deities and played in front of the mediums possessed by them. The musical structures of this repertoire could shed light on the organization of the local pantheon it serves: starting from this hypothesis, the musicological analysis eventually reveals the pointlessness and perhaps the impossibility of building music and god categories, since the system seems to follow a different logic. Yet the analysis of this fluid music and the problems it raises (identification, transcription, typology, etc. ) as well as its confrontation with the ethnological data allow us to draw tendencies and to bring out a continuum of oppositions characteristic of the cosmological, musical and social system. Reflecting the more globally hinduist India, this system should not be thought as a rigid structure made of fixed categories but rather as a hierarchical yet dynamic organization made of multiform elements moving -according to the context- between opposite but not necessarily exclusive poles. As much as talks often turn contradictory, the flexibility of the musical structure makes it difficult to grasp. Like the pantheon, the music takes shape and is experienced in the very moment of the ritual. The meaning of this ritual music is thus to be sought in the ritual itself, through the chronological analysis of one particular ritual and its interactions: the central part of this dissertation

Full textSemi nomad in Gujarat (India), the Bhopas-Rebaris are wearing clothes with colors and forms different from other regional groups. This study describe all their technical conception process, begining with material choice then proceeding with spinning, weaving, dying or printing, cutting and gathering and also textile recycling. Each stage is considered as one caste speciality and link the group with all the hindou representation of the world and socio-cosmic order. So, progressively sanscritised, the Bhopas are using clothes showing the social status, conformed in the brahmanic laws. Nevertheless, it identifie also the Bhopas as the Mâtâjî diviners priests and as the great sorrowing Krsna devouts. Subject of fashion in Gujarat and in the world of "ethnic chic", those clothes are now considered as traditional indian and become true "false authentic"

Full textIn the course of the 19th century, the government of the French settlements of India promises to respect the habits and customs of the Indian people. It also commits to judge the inhabitants of these settlements according to these customs and habits. It consequently creates a legal category to designate the customary conflicts judged by the colonial justice: the “caste affairs”. This study of caste affairs contributes to the recent developments in imperial and colonial history on the formation of the law. It resonates with the current works that question the idea of colonial law being imposed in a top-down fashion following a rational logic and that show that, on the contrary, colonial law results from arrangements with precolonial legal forms and local possibilities. The thesis specifically studies the process that shapes the legal system regarding castes. The legal system, understood as all the legal rules, the institutions in charge of enforcing them, and the use of these institutions, is analysed in its relationship with social demands. Furthermore, this localised analysis of the colonial situation, shed new lights on the Indian society of the south of the sub-continent. It contributes to the debates on the constitution of castes as a social unit and administrative category in the colonial period. The legal system is analysed from different perspectives. First, the focus is put on the colonial frameworks governing the caste affairs and on the ways in which the sovereignty of the colonial government is articulated. Second, the study gives attention to the different actors involved in the resolution of these conflicts, which participates to the shaping of these frameworks. To finish with, the study focuses on the forms and stakes of disputes in order to understand the role of the litigants in the production of social and legal norms

Full textThis thesis questions through history, social practices and politics the diversifivation of the links of identity of the Pramalai Kallar sub-caste in central Tamil Nadu in order to grasp what constitues belonging to a birth group in contemporary India. The reconstitution of the Pramalai Kallar' sociological landscape is necessary to understand the nature and the structure of belonging, by locating and distinguishing precisely three interrelated morphosociological categories: the caste and the caste-cluster. Through ethnographic inquiry, historiographical and political data, we identify the ressources of collective identification which contribute to the reproduction, the regulation and the promotion of belonging to the borth group(s). Therefore, in the wider context of transformation of Indian society, it is necessary to grasp the contemporary parameters which modify, fragilise or renforce differentiated registers of belonginig "caste"

Full textThis Ph. D deals with religious practices of the Soras, a tribal group from the centre-east of India who speak an Austro-asiatic language. The fieldwork for this study took place mainly among the Soras from Srikakulam district of Andhra Pradesh, who have not been throuroughly studied comparatively to those from Orissa. The Soars, who differ from other local groups according to their language, are not entirely isolated from caste society. Concerning their rituals, we observed several specific traits but also many points of encounter whit Hinduism, to which many asserted their belonging. In fact, the dialectic of loan and rejection takes different forms for the same group. Indeed, among the Soras from the villages studied, three religious affiliations coexist. Some villagers claim to be Hindu or Christian. Others have their own religion - called "Matharvanam" - and oppose their religious practices to those of their caste neighbours as well as those of other Soras. They worship a script invented in the 1930's used to transcribe the Sora language. This study aims to analyzea complex religious landscape, where ritual practices are far from being homogeneous, taking into account religious affiliation assertions, which sometimes do not correspond to the actual ritual practices

Full textIn Bengal, one can still find picture showmen among the Patua or Citrakar, "Painters". Moving from place to place, they show their scroll-paintings to village households in exchange for alms. The religious dimension of this activity plays a fundamental role in the status of these groups, which oscillate between Hinduism and Islam, artisans, low castes, religious mendicants and funerary priests. This study widens our previous researches, showing how the liminal character of the showman is found in other aspects of his group, and that new developments since the rediscovery of their art may not be a change. However, if one considers the caste system as a rigid one, the Patua case shows that, as far as men and savoir-faire are concerned, the system is much more open than usually believed, fluidity and intermingling are definitely one of its fundamentals. Through intensive fieldwork, I studied the foundation and transformations of two patua hamlets in Medinipore district from 1890 to the present. I focused on relations with the "dominants", kinship organisation, and economic activities. The group lives in a constant tension between recurrent, valued male "itinerance", and the desire to settle down which expresses itself through patrilineal, patrilocal lineage. The residential group and the caste are maintained through matrilateral cross-cousin marriage and "the son-in-law at home", institutions dominated by the brother-sister relationship and the figures of the elder sister and maternal uncle (lineage outsiders) and including persons from outside the caste. The activities - peddling, petty trading, small arts and crafts, healing, etc. . . - are also distributed between "inside" and "outside", "far" and "near", just like the showmen practise. Meeting all kinds of people, changing identities, he arouses a religious fear in the devotee, reminds him that giving is a source of merits and being miserly brings all kinds of illnesses. He can also be the mediator who takes away the sins that are supposed to have caused illness in the house. Beyond group divisions, by showing his painting at the threshold of the house, he is a reminder that man has a last threshold to cross. He bears the burden of the role. And shows that the status of image in India is related to the problematic of delivrance

Full textThe thesis begins with a critical review of the main works related to the "tribes" in India, generally contrasted with the "hindu casts". Agianst the essentialist perspective on "tribes" as culturally isolated and without history, we try to reconstruct the social and historical context of agricultural communities organised on the basis of lineages living in South Orossa (Centre-East of India), especially the so-called Joria Poraja. The study of the ancient local kingdom's organisation, through field enquiries and studies in archives and inscriptions, as well as through the Joria village institutions show that those institutions are deeply informed by old royal politico-ritual structures, nevertheless adapted to their micro-local context. The end of the work is lastly devoted to comparative perspectives

Full textThis thesis focuses on urban history of Tamil Nadu during the colonial periode The aim is to show the role of culture in urban space construction and to understand how the colonial context may have changed this relation. A rich set of images shows the role played by cities in the tamil culture and history since the classical era. But the British were not aware of this inheritage. During the XIXth century, about 50 major urban centers dominated the urban framework. Each town preserved a singular identity. The colonial power penetration of urban society was superficial, even after the creation of municipalities. The thesis studies how urban plans and landscapes changed and shows how urban space was used by town-dwellers to defend their social status within the urban society. Religious and familial ritual processions were a way to define a specific cast or religious identity. During the studied period, new modes of relations with the political power were invented in towns and a great deal of traditions were preserved
