Full textPeul of western niger have taken from their neighbours (the Zarma) the practice of possession's rituals which have therapeutic vocation. Presentation and analysis of a certain number of historical times that lived those populations (on the fringe of orthodox islam ans possession's rituals) permit to define the foundation of possession's culture and to question about notions of myth, traditional religion and ritual. This approach of possession is organized around an omnipresent speaking which gives meaning to those practices. The speaking is at the center of the illness caused by a spirit from beginning to end, going through diagnosis. Being efficient, the speaking must be developed in discourses which are the expression of a knowledge. This stake concerns every speaking, whether fits in with a ritual time or not. Besides a wellconsidered and protected speaking, we found an explicit and familiar vocabulary, which never makes a possession humdrum. The increase in the number of carefully phrased remarks and, also, of technical precautions, which are part of every intervention binded to possession, is the expression of the fear of knowledge's calling into question. . .

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
Forte, Jung Ran. "Chevauchés par les dieux : Initiations des Occidentaux aux cultes Vodun béninois : pratiques culturelles et trajectoires identitaires." Paris, EHESS, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007EHES0282.
Full textThis thesis examines the transformations experienced by the Vodun religion in the last decade, taking as a starting point the analysis of a singular phenomenon: the inclusion of Westerns in Beninese circuits of religious practice. Examining the initiatory paths of Europeans in Benin, the study addresses broader questions on the reproduction and change of a religious system. While identifying a peculiar dynamic of reproduction of such cults and drawing the major features and configurations of contemporary Vodun, the thesis questions how the religious experience is constructed, both individually and collectively. Describing spiritual journeys of Westerns who initiate themselves to the cults, this work shows how new cultural products and innovative subjectivities are fabricated in encounters of “foreigners” with Vodun worlds. The case of Westerns initiation rituals questions directly the “globalization of religious experience” and how new cultural identity are formed in such contexts

Full textFor most of the theories, there is ethnicity when a group conserves its differenciation within another group, but with the Akebu, there is ethnicity because they have lost that differenciation. It is from the specific paradigm of care of the stranger that every society manages its anxieties and its system of self-conservation. The stranger with whom you are at peace has the matrimonial covenant as paradigm, whereas the stranger with whom you are in conflict has for paradigm witchcraft. Finally, the management of the conflicts consists of exorcizing the witchcraft paradigm. Human groups interaction was not our only interest, this work analysed in concert all akebu conflicts discourses and put into evidence, thanks to the two operators of containing and inclusing, borrowed from the Set Theory in Mathematics, a common structure of relationship articulation between a given group and its different surrounding groups : the other people, nature and the deadland

Full textThe church of Katiola in Ivory Coast was celebrating its hundredth anniversary of evangelization the 17th of October 2009. This day was a great opportunity to thanks God but also the pioneers of the evangelization mission. These Fathers came from Europe and for most of them from the African Missions Society of Lyon and of Alsace. We can be glad of the massive attendance of the churches in Africa and among the Senufo and this fact can be considered as a welcoming sign of the Gospel! Nevertheless, a phenomenon has been noticed: the practice of two religions. Most of the Senufo Christians go to the mass on Sundays and to the spirits adorations on Fridays. This double practice requires a new evangelization facing the weight of the Senufo tradition and the violence of the trials of life. The ancient net model has substituted itself to the old missionary model of the tabula rasa and consisted in converting maximum of people but without a real training provided. To optimize these results it would be good to invent a new model based on the Person of Christ which would help to discover and accept the sense of life, suffering, problems and trials, death. . . To find a new model of evangelization is to surely move towards the Senufo liberation of: the submission to the spirits and powers, the fear to lack, the fear of the jealous, the fear of the unknown and the sorcerers. This new method of liberation will give to the Christian Senufo discernment in his everyday life, learn him to be responsible in front of his choices with the only conviction of the faith in Christ, the only liberator!

Full textHow does the diola man conceive death ? For the diola man of the gassylai country side, brin or bandial in Casamance (Senegal), death is conceived like a great passage, a great voyage, a great crossing. Life and death constitute for him one and the same living reality which has got two different faces. Death is another name, another reality of life. Death is another life and dead is another living. He who dies undertakes a great voyage which permits him to go over from one world to another. He passes from the visible world to the invisible world. The first, the visible world, is the one of men; the second, the invisible world, is the one of the dead and of the ancestors. God, as for him, lives both in the visible world, for he is their sole creator, the father and mother of all the men and the living, the master of life and death

Full textThe boson cult is an ancient religious institution of the Akan (Ghana, Ivory Coast). The boson are territorial and tutelary spirits and they are divided in two classes: boson which are confined to a particular place and boson which are in the forest. Our research is on the junction of three disciplines: anthropology, history and geography. First we work on a regional scale, the moronou. Then the analysis is limited to the land of the village of kangandissou (prefecture bongouanou). The anyi take possession of the land on which they live through the cult of boson which are bound to a particular place. When one "calls" the boson of the forest to come to the village, during the public ceremonies, the komian fulfills his religious, divinatory and therapeutic functions for the benefit of everybody. During the ritual possession performance, the komian embodies the boson with which he is linked. He also demonstrates his power in the invisible world. While political authority is transmitted through the matrilineal lineage and is represented by the king and the queen, the initiation of the komian requests the intervention of his relatives by marriage and the komian exercises his power in a congregational frame. While the cult of the boson which are bound to a place are one of the basis of the royal authority, the boson of the forest are the basis of the power of the komian

Full textReligion is part of the africain universe. The black man knows the divinity. Both, the visible and invisible worlds are one. The social organisation is deeply based on religion. During the last century, white missionnairies arrived in africa. They brought a new vision of the world, in relation with their culture. Part of them rejected tyhe african spirituality. They imposed christianity according to the norms of the western civilization. In a colonial context, the africans adopted the new religion. But they did not abandon their "traditional" religious practices. With the independance of the continent, people feel free in comparaison with the colonial period. They have decided to ptactive christianity, but in their own culture. The consequence is the proliferation of new religious movements which are seriously competing with the historical churches. To solve that situation, a dialogue is necessary between "sectes" and historical churches

Full textIn Côte d'Ivoire, the Christian workship is celebrated through music: singign, dancing, clapping of hands, choregraphy, yelling and symbolic items fom peoples' cultures. In this thesis, African cultural elements are referred to as African Rhythm and the African cultural contribution to Christianity as inculturation. This work deals with the problem resulting from the inculturation of African Rhythm and especially of its consequences over the pastoral dynamic of Christian churches in Côte d'Ivoire. These problems are due to an excessive inculturation which distorts both African spiritual reality and roman Christianity. As solution, this thesis suggests the thorough and continuous training of competent executives for the supervising of choristers and dancers, the correct and credible transcription of the musical works and some modes of introduction for the "attoungblan" talking drum into the Church on the basis of a new alphabetical language

And the multiplication of new experiences in traditional medicine modified the urban medical offer and contributes to the emergence of a differentiated and autonomous therapeutic field. Nevertheless, the dynamics of differentiation is limited by the maintenance of a religious field with fuzzy borders. All the projects in traditional medicine also contribute to the development of transnational and global connections. But the emergent arena in global context, represent a permanent process of negotiation (north/south, south/south) according to the different cultural views of the world and the specifics locals concerns

This doctoral thesis proposes to study the role of the christian church in the socio-economic development of rural areas using. The example of southern-cameroon. After reviewing the evolution of the agriculture system since the independance and analysing the economic crisis of the countrys. This thesis studies the politics and alternative solutions that the churches of southern-cameroon propose. All of this is studied using six projects which are presented and discuted. . . This study shows the difficulties of putting into place an action of development because of the obstacles that can come from either the churches or the community. But it also shows the positive aspects of the process of development which can take place in an under developped country. These examples are based on the evangelical traditions of conquering poverty and promoting the development of evry human being-both physically and spiritually

Full textWhile migrant religion is often portrayed as an obstacle to democratic participation, this thesis raises the question whether religion can be a resource for the political involvement of migrants. Based on interviews made in Berlin and the Parisian agglomeration, the religious and political engagement of migrants from Sub-Saharan Africa is analysed. For methodological reasons, the main focus is on religious organisations in Berlin. A formal analysis of networks of African secular, Muslim and Christian organisations in Berlin shows that Christian networks are the densest and most encompassing, whereas Muslims are almost isolated. For Christian organisations, religion is an organisational and a symbolic resource for unity, cooperation, and for increasing their leaders’ capacity to act. Also, their religious networks provide access to resources such as premises or support by the non-migrant population. The hermeneutic analysis of the interview material reveals that, while their legitimacy is based on religion, the federations set up by African Christians in Berlin are explicitly political in their outlook and get involved politically. Also, Christian migrants draw on their religion as a symbolic resource to revalorise an African identity in a context often marked by disrespect and discrimination. Muslims do not seem to have the same option. The comparison between the two cities, however, demonstrates that there are significant differences between the two contexts and between religions and confessions. This leads to the conclusion that religion may be an organisational and a symbolic resource for the political involvement of migrants, but under certain circumstances only
Beaujean, Gaëlle. "L’ Art de cour d’Abomey : le sens des objets." Paris, EHESS, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015EHES0666.
Full textDesigned as anthropology of the object, this thesis addresses the royal artifacts of Abomey, ancient capital of the pre-colonial kingdom of Dahomey (current day Benin). First the role of this art at court will be considered within the political, religious and social contexts of the period from 1625 to 1890. Here the military organization of Dahomey will also be central. In the eighteenth century the kingdom seized the port of Ouidah where the European slave trade to America was already established. Purveyor of prisoners and agricultural resources, the king instituted a system of exchanges and visits to court for these trading partners. The impact these contacts left on the royal court will therefore be explored. Oral, written and iconographic sources from regalia to the vaudou images will form the first body of objects from the court. Travel literature also reveals what impressions the exhibition of this royal art made on an uninitiated public. On the partition of Africa after the Berlin Conference of 1885, France declared war on the kingdom that it then conquered in 1894. The French military then seized the collection of royal objects from their own command between 1892 and 1894. This war booty supplemented by pre-colonial royal gifts, collections of the 1930s and the art still present in the court of Abomey will compose a second group of objects under study. The transformations of use, value and place of these objects since the fall of the kingdom to the present day will then be analyzed. In museums or in private collections around the world, this research identifies the value systems and the multiple meanings of this court art from conception to its current location
Yombe, Giscard Vivien. "Le Christianisme dans l'oeuvre de Chinua Achebe." Thesis, Cergy-Pontoise, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017CERG0844.
Full textTo study Christianity in Chinua Achebe's writings is to perform a ritual ceremony. Such a ceremony was known as 'my ritual return and homage' by the author of "Morning Yet on Creation Day". It is not a mere homecoming and recover of the African past, but it is above all an act of atonement which binds past, present and future throughout the ritual of penitence and therapeutic ecumenism. In the writings of the novelist, animistic precolonial heritage and christian colonial one collide and open up in a philosophical and spiritual dialogue. Albert Chinualumogu Achebe was born in an igbo family converted to Anglican Christianity during colonial Africa. Far from being frozen as an 'ikeng', the writer never rejected his chritian heritage. The protest and complex writer simply condemned colonial Christianity brought by the missionaries who came to save children of darkness. He recognizes however the essence of Christianity and the Gospel taught by Jesus that gives Hope and sets free all men and women, Jews and Gentiles.The prophetic vision of the writer is a vision of a political, economic and social liberation. Human values contained in Christian as well as in African beliefs ought to conscientize and transcend the foibles of modernity. Like a penitent, Art and the artist, the objet and the subject undergo a spiritual voyage to reach harmony within the entire universe

Full textThe irruption of Christianism in an already religious ground, the several expressions of the Christian faith in its occidental form, as well as the occidental logical mind, have destabilised the African mentalities. The implantation of the Christianism, with its brutal ways, has surprised and revolted some of the African people. The Christianism has been shown as the only way of salvation. The African man had to choose between his cultural inheritance, and the Christian one. The Christianism was the screen of occidental values. Through this dilemma, the African man was facing the despise of his African traditional believes. It is hard for the African people to live in their African culture and to fulfil the Christian duties. That for their behaviour has been called "syncretism". If the language and the way to behave are the expression of a culture, the African people should deculture themselves to be converted to Christianity ? That is how the first missionaries thought

Full textThis study is meant for young Beninese students as well as foreign readers, to help them to imagine the world of African mythology through a particular example. We have studied a cosmogonical myth, which is very well known in the whole region of Beninese coast. Its name is Sakpata: the god of earth. The mythical story: when the world was still in the shape of a gourd and it was not totally created, the creator send one of his ministers named Sakpata to achieve the making of the earth and to rule it. Sakpata founded the famous city of Ile-Ife. When he become very old, his sons deserted him and then he turned himself into a white ant-hill (termitarium) inhabited by a snake. Its meaning: these two elements together,- the white ant-hill and the snake-, go to make the god of earth, who is himself the symbolical representation of the original couple: the man and the woman. This myth constitutes the foundations of the societies and their economical and cultural realities, among the peoples in this area

The approach to the african thought and modern scientific reflexion could inspire from notions like space and time, god, man and speech, an apprehended concept of the being as generation in the actif sense of reproduction

Full textThis thesis analyses the historical formation and the evolution compared of an African Pentecostal Church founded in Ghana by a scottish missionary at the beginning of the years 1950. The missionary expansion of The Church of Pentecost confronted very early the Ghanaian leaders with the other national communities, even nationalist, claiming the division of the power. From three privileged grounds (Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, France), this work highlighted the misunderstandings of missionary collaboration which translate the ambivalent posture of a Church which is thought at the same time "indigenous" and transnational. This ambivalence is found near faithful, which is defined at the same time as "new person" ("born again") and is affirmed more deeply African (and even Ghanaians) than never. The stakes of individual conversion concern here an identity crisis through which one does not become one "new person" but ones affirms oneself in a renewed identity which is an imaginary return to an original identity which is expressed less here by the opening in the world globalized than by the creation of new identity spaces which are as many places of expression of a reaffirmed African identity

Full textThe East African Revival (EAR) is rooted in Anglo-American protestant spirituality. Following the teachings of English missionaries influenced by the movement of total sanctification -a heritage of the XVIIIth and XIXth centuries Anglo-American Revivals-, the EAR begins in Rwanda in 1933 and then spreads to Great Lakes Africa, (Uganda, Burundi, Kenya, Tanzania and Congo-Kinshasa). After the Second World War, the EAR pursues its internationalisation towards Europe, America and Asia. Through the work of zealous teams of African and English "saved ones" (abarokore), the EAR has become an important tool of Anglo-American indluence in Great Lakes Africa. Nevertheless, it also holds complex relations with African culture. The EAR spreads beyond the borders of its body of origin, the Anglican Church, and influences other sub-Saharan African protestant Churches, in which it maintains a spirituality advocating a new conduct of life and a new social order. Also the EAR has become a solid foundation on which have been created the new Churches that have invaded the religious field of Great Lakes African since the 1980's. Concerning the political evolution in East Africa, the EAR claims to be non-political. However, through its teaching of obedience to political authorities, it puts forward an ambivalent strategy that could be interpreted as complicity with authoritarian regimes. Also, as the end of our research reveals, the EAR teachings on temperance and ethnic reconciliation have constructive social influences, helping to face the two plaques that have struck Great Lakes Africa : AIDS and civil wars. In the latter case, Rwanda, that underwent a genocide in 1994, supplies an interesting field of observation

Full textFor outseder's "vaudou" is classed as sorcery in haiti or among black people ; it is often said that "vaudou" is from africa. Indeed, on the west african coast (benin, togo and ghana), only the eve, the fon and their brothers adza-tado say vodu (eve) or vodoun (fon). Vodu and not "vaudou". Because "vo" means invisible or unknown and "du" means world. Therefor, according to the popular etymology, vodu means the world of the invisible. In fact, the layman notices only the manifestations of vodu : rituals, animal sacrifice, statuelles etc. . . For the initiated, the world of vodu is composed of : mawu, the highest existence; fetome, mawu's thought or origin of all visible manifestations ; and agbegbome where mawu materializes his thought. Everything in the world representes the mawu's multiple manifestations, corresponding to the four elements : air, fire, water and earth, in their different forms. Everybody can choose his own way to apply to mawu. The material or the manifestation becomes a simple receptacle. For being accessible, mawu gives his word to humans : afa. Afa is

Full textThe brotherhoods of Nossa Senhora do Rosário dos Homens Pretos flourished in Brazil during the slavery period. They were of great interest for African people and their descendants. In spite of being characterized by the imposition of Catholic cults, these lay-led associations revealed as a means for group socialization and identity construction. In this way, such brotherhoods became a space through which black people could produce an alternative form of existence in the world. While at times they were led to accept the religion of their slavery masters, at times they embodied cultural symbols which connected them to the societies from which they had been removed. This ambiguity is perhaps one of the most visible features of this type of brotherhoods. I explore these issues in my study about the brotherhood of Nossa Senhora do Rosário dos Homens Pretos, which was established by slaves of Angolan origin in Quixeramobim, in the back-lands of Ceará, Brazil, around the year of 1755. Throughout the period of two centuries, the idea of Angolan origin has not been claimed as a central idea in the foundation and continuity of this brotherhood. Yet, it emerges in the notion of group of origin. While doing an ethnographic description of the processes involved in the making of this brotherhood, here I also introduce the concept of identity. Through my dialog with the descendants of the old members of this association I attempt to recuperate the memory of its main form of sociability: the feast of Nossa Senhora do Rosário

Full textThe study has two aims : to observe the appropriateness of two protestant minorities one, foreign and in search of integration, and the other autochthonous already integrated ; discern the elements which facilate a meeting of the two groups, the reciprocal changes and the interactions of the two communities. Three areas of study in the Paris region: negro-Africans Protestants of Cameroonian central African Congolese, ivory-coast, Madagascan, Zairian expression. The study has taken account of the distinction between students (elite and immigrant workers; autochthonous Protestantism’s: church union forming part of the French protestant federation, Cimade and Defap; other protestants groups, led by foreigners, notably Americans. Questions treated in the study: does the situation of immigration in which the post-colonial area negro-African finds himself hasten, and if so in what ways, the establishment of places of encounter with the French population, which is itself undergoing another acceleration, that of the process of post-industrialization ? In that situation, does the French Protestantism reveal itself to be a factor of integration? Are these difficulties specific to religious integration? Two principal situations are established: different forms of typology of reception practiced by the French churches. .

Full textThe subject of this research is "the evolution of bamana religious beliefs and practices". A comparative approach was taken, based on date gathered from 64 villages within a 30 km. Radius of segu. There were three primary lines of inquiry: assessment of the current status of bamana sacred places; description of traditional ways in which powerful objects were used for warfare, magic, or protection; and an analysis of current practices in relation to traditional ones in order to assess processes of continuity and change in bamana social organization. Interviews were conducted with a range of magico-religious practitioners, including blacksmiths, fortune-tellers, marabouts, and hunters, who either fulfill religious roles or who act as specialists in the mediation of individual relations. The latter provide their clientele with charms or magical objects for purposes of aggression or protection. While my findings reveal significant changes in village society-evinced for instance by the virtual dissappearance of sacred, genie-sheltering groves, the protection of powerful objects, and the construction of numerous mosques-such changes nevertheless do not suggest a radical acculturation. Ineed, even though sacrificial rituals have dissapeared from the ritual calendar, careful attention to bamana discourses has allowed me to understand that certain traditional practices remain while new practices have developed around very different sources: the boli have been burried, but new objects have appeared. Practitioners take materials from various sources for their purposes. Finally, the daily existence of these powerful rites, played out in an invisible realm, reveals an extremely tense social climate, shatter the myth of african solidarity and betray the development of based on the development of individualistic behaviors which constitute the backbone of witchcraft and of black magic

Full textCurrently, the growing situation of pluralism and religious diversity in Brazil sets up a scenario of decrease of the Catholicism and increasing of the Pentecostal churches, it is drawing a new religious reality. The religious plurality is thus marked and the search for recognition as well as the aggressive proselytizing of some give birth to conflicts. The religious intolerance has been settled down in Salvador Bahia. This intolerance has been drawn in the symbolic imagery of neo-Pentecostal religious movements that follow the "Theology of Spiritual Warfare. " As leader of the movement, the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God accuses Candomblé of practicing witchcraft, thus spreading its primary mission "of crusade against the devil" -this is broadcasted by that church's media. The elements of this "crusade" are based on the centrality of exorcism and the fighting against the evil forces. Before the acts of intolerance, the religions of African Matrix organize themselves and try to push back the virulence of the attacks. This controversy is the result of "Pentecostalization" of an important part of society is the carrier of complex issues that this thesis intends to analyze

Full textThis study results from the observation of a paradox : Juno, great Roman goddess, part of the Capitoline triade, has fought the Aeneas' project to establish a settlement in Latium, was hostile to Romulus' apotheosis and has also protected the Carthaginian army of Hannibal. Juno's hostility was told by the poets since Ennius, up to the augustan poets, but can also be studied in the cultual practice, owing to the fact that she was subject to euocatio-rituel several times as in Veii in 395 BC. The ritual of euocatio has been used in order to calm ennemies' divinity and to integrate it in the Roman pantheon. Moreover, Juno's anger implies to be examined simultaneously with her final reconciliation with Rome. Finally, this hostility and reconciliation underwent some updates during the Roman history : Etruscan, Punic or Civil wars. Our approach follows a chronological plan in order to analyze the phenomenon's dynamics while studying both religious and literary facts

Full textFrom independence to today, Africa, for the most part, is struggling to overcome thedifficulties it faces. Previously, the struggle for freedom was waged at the same time onseveral levels. One of the most important was undoubtedly the intellectual struggle waged bythe founding writers of negritude. However, since the departure of the settlers, the situationhas been disastrous. Even as Africans finally rule Africa’s destiny, the continent’s sociopolitical situation is dramatically deteriorating due to poor governance. This is how fictionalworks developing polemical and pamphleteer strategies appeared. While criticizing politicaland customary authorities, these accounts seek to thwart censorship. The objective of thiswork will be to analyze the polemic and pamphleteer aspect of some of these texts producednot to glorify the continent and the black woman as do the authors of negritude, but above allto denounce the defects of Africa and raise awareness. (Mongo Béti, Perpétue et l’habitudedu malheur ; Fatoumata Kéita, Sous fer ; Ahmadou Kourouma, En attendant le vote des bêtessauvages). They invite introspection and change in an henceforth disillusioned Africa. It istherefore also a question of exposing the role of construction of society, of man and ofhumanity that literature assigns itself

Full textAfrican people, whatever their age are fascinated by highways of communication relating the public, sociocultural, political and religious levels. In Africa, mainly in Congo, the catholic Church would like to use modern media as means of evangelization. Through some historical facts, we can note the modern means used by local churches, that is, radio and television to broadcoast religious programmes. In most of african countries, public or state media keep on broacasting the local churches’s programmes, certainly with some difficulties, till they may get their own instruments. By experience, let us be aware that, a new culture like audiovisual requires a sufficient training so to avoid excess. So, in church, practical theology together with the means of action-research method will be very useful, in view to join knowledge and action, that is to lonk training and the trainer who must be a guide. That practical theology requires the theme of incarnation especially of inculturation because of culture shock between two visions : African tradition based on orality versus on behalf of a mediatic culture. But in spite of modernity, the new culture is to be evangelized so that, it may be a chance for local churches

Full textCe travail traite des organisations religieuses et politique de la ville de Pelotas. On a plongée intense dans les maisons de la religion africaine, fréquentée par les activistes noirs du mouvement. Afin de réaliser l'interface entre les domaines de la participation politique au champ de la religion. On a accompagné des pratiques rituelles quotidiennes qui servent de base d'une compréhension de la philosophie politique de la pratique de la religion. On a commencé avec la notion du mileu pour comprendre les points d'intersection de l'action sociale et politique avec les pratiques religieuses entre militants du mouvement noir, comme les fils et filles de la religion, les spectateurs des centres religieux. Plus conclusions peuvent être remarquées comme les points et les stratégies d'action politique qui vont au-delà de la lutte contre la discrimination ethnique et raciale ou la lutte contre le racisme. Ainsi, on a trouvé une philosophie politique qui imprègne des secteurs particuliers de la société, notamment sur l'intolérance religieuse et la défense de la santé
O presente trabalho parte das organizações afro-políticas da cidade de Pelotas até o mergulhar intensamente no universo das casas de religião de matriz africana freqüentadas por militantes do movimento negro. No intuito de perceber a interface entre os campos da participação política com o campo da religião, acompanhou-se o dia a dia de práticas rituais que servem como base do entendimento de uma filosofia política da prática desta religiosidade. Parte-se da noção de encruzilhada para compreender os pontos de intersecção da ação social e política com práticas religiosas, tantos dos militantes do movimento negro, como dos filhos e filhas de religião, freqüentadores dos centros afro-religiosos. Mais que conclusões, notam-se pontos e estratégias de ação política que vão para além das lutas contra a discriminação étnicoracial ou pelo combate ao racismo. Desse modo, percebe-se uma filosofia política particular que permeia setores da sociedade, principalmente no que tange à saúde, ao meio ambiente e à intolerância religiosa

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

Full textThe question of the celebration of Christian funerals in a context of dual religious affiliation among the Baoulés of Côte d'Ivoire obliges us to focus our reflection on the theology of the inculturation of faith. On reconsidering moreover the concept of dual affiliation, it can be argued that this notion becomes a requirement of inculturation understood as a "dramadialogy". It fits into a logic of dialogue between Christianity and Baoulé religious beliefs in the course of which the elements of the Baoulé culture die off to their non-values for a transfigurative resurrection. But at the same time, by welcoming this message, this culture enriches the heritage of the Church. The reappropriation of the Christian theological discourse on death and funeral rituals from a perspective of African sense is the peculiar feature of this theological construction which is also to be situated within the limits of this same semantic field of the process of inculturation seen as a "dramadialogy". We should not forget, however, to point out that this entire trajectory of inculturated thanatic theology, enlightened by the actuality of the paschal mystery, must also open up to the Pentecostal catholicity of the Church
