Bouazza, Azzouz. "Les cérémonies du mariage dans le zaghouanais nord de la Tunisie." Paris 5, 1989. http://www.theses.fr/1989PA05H003.
Full textIn tunisia, the marriage remains an institution that can not be adveded, until now, it is the only way of life, which is legally and socially admettedfor couples. Even if it is legally considered as a private act, the marriage is, socially an essetial rite to be gone through. Only a massive involvement of the two brides respective groupes gives the marriage its social validity. Its fulfilment is prepared and then perfected through ritual ceremonies that are a fornight, according to three great periods: the engagement, the wedding itself and what follows. Through examples taken in the region of zaghouanais, we tried to analyse these ceremonies from the inside. That is to say their ritual compnentsthat express the complexity and the dynamics of the social relationships and of the popular cultural corpus-whose arabo-islamic origin is the most striking aspect without being the only one. The components and the objects that are still used today, are the productof a "complicity" between the original culture and the very numerous external contribu-tions from the north and the south of tunisia. It seems that these contributions put up with the western modernity rather than being subjected to it. At last we insisted on noticing that the ritual wedding is often accopanied by particularly sumptuous feast which represent the main attraction of the rural tunisian summers

Full textThe present work describes the ceremonies which make up the long and complex ritual of marriage, in their successive order, in several Mongolian ethnic groups. The rituals presentation is accompanied by the translation of texts, inseparable from these rites. Far from being just ornamental, the pronunciation of these rituals words (more or less complex) is indispensable to the ritual’s fulfilment. On the other hand, the parallels among several ethnic variations reflecting the different kinds of tradition among the Mongolian groups helps to emphasize the essential principles of a matrimonial alliance. The Mongolian marriage seals an alliance between two clans or lineages and its aim is the lineage perpetuation (duty towards the ancestors) and the strengthening of the social links (duty towards the society or the State). The matrimonial alliance is a social, even “political” act aimed at the reinforcement of the social tissue through the relations among the allies and the group’s and the whole nation’s prosperity through the couple’s fertility. The marriage ritual is governed by a complex of customs, of practices and of prohibitions which lean on some essential principles: the respect of the exogamy, the astrological compatibility, the patrilocality, all these, within the patrilineal framework, of the Mongolian society. The present work is a selected gathering of materials that are scattered and often difficult to find, related to the marriage rituals and ceremonies, such as the Mongolian folklorists have noted and published from the oral tradition. The richness and the diversity of the material known under the generic term of “marriage literature” published over the past fifteen years does not permit an exhaustive presentation and we have had to make a selection. The materials used here are presented in abstract form when rituals or ritual gesture are described and in transcription and translation when oral pieces are concerned. In this way, this ensemble of texts, selected in order to be representative, has became accessible in a Western language

Full textThe matrimonial rituals of morocco wich were characterized by an important regional variety tend to standardization through the generalization of a clothing ritual coming from the imperial cities. The research has been carried in the grand agadir. Two hypotheses are proposed : 1) the permanence of cultural configurations shared by all moroccans ensures the diffusion of the contemporary ritual ; 2) the royal family has contributed to its legitimation. The first part studies the traditionnal rites of the sous, the second investigates change process in the grand agadir. It appears that the contemporary ritual secures the permanence of traditions while creating an illusion of evolution. The families keep control over feminine virginity thus ensuring the permanence of male suprematy and the couple's submission. The identification of the bride to the princesses is an innovation but it does not annihilate the treatment of woman like an object. Traditionnally, the popular legitimation of monarchy was signified by the identification of the bridegroom to the sultan. This ritual enthronment expressed the capacity of every srong man to accede to power. The present identification of the bride to the princesses reduces the bridegroom to the subordinate rank of son-in-law and makes of the king the omnipotent father. The ritual thus secures the permanence of man's submission to the royal power. The emerging national ritual is a demonstration of the strength of moroccan identity and a confirmation of the controlled opening to the influences of the occident and the orient. This study permits to observe the process of cultural uniformization in a society wich was characterized by the division of its sub-groups and the passage of local customs to the status of national symbols

Full textThe aim of this research is to examine the secular and liturgical rites pertaining to marriage in Rome at the end of the XIIth century based on a Latin treaty by Lothaire de Segni (Innocent III, 1198-1216) entitled On the quadruple aspect of nuptials and unpublished in French. The origin of these rites will be traced in the evolution of a quadruple tradition -Jewish, Greco-Roman, Christian and Germanic- since the Roman Empire. The objective is also to establish the permanence of these rites as well as their transformations and even, in some cases, their eliminations with the losses of signification implied in that, based on the written and iconographic sources which cover the cultural field of the Latin Medieval Occident. The gestural language can reveal some interesting points on the symbolism of these rites and bring out additional information on the implicit meaning in the written testimonies about nuptial rites

Full textThis work is interested in the study of the communicative character of the song which touches all the fields of the social life, and more particularly in the communicative role of the songs of marriage which were for us the occasion to determine the role of the woman in the Moroccan Jewish community. More precisely, we emphasized the inherent difficulties at the universe of the women. Through some of these songs, the bride expresses her anger and her refusal. Our work is registered following work of Mr. Professor I Ben Ami on the description of the Jewish marriage in Morocco. Thus, we endeavoured to highlight the role of the Jewish traditional song within the community. A part of these songs were recorded by Professor I Ben Ami in 1964; the latter constitute the principal support of our study. This work borders also the linguistic aspect, (communication, sociology, semiology) of the songs. Indeed, the Jewish popular song answers a system of signs emphasized by some musical instruments

Full textIf the euphoric laws of the years of african independence are supposed to protect among other things, the children as regards death-duties or the laws of custody, and women concerning marriage and divorce, the ancestral customs remain a dreadful impediment in nearly all countries of black africa. The listlessness of the public authorities towards this endurance is exactly the reason that induced us to choose this subjet. Indeed, these laws, aiming at the accelaration of the ecomic development and the modernisation of the family and judical institutions, and as well to deal with an equality problem regarding the administration of justice. Thus, concerning the matter of divorce, objective and precise causes, valid for men as well as for women, have been defined in the ivorian law. The destiny of the common patrimony of the married couple, on the whole, or the properties of each one of them, is regulated by the articles 7 and 8 of the law number 64376 from the 7th of october 1964 since the opening of the procedure. However, the sociological reality remains unchanged concerning the Ivory coast, where 80% of the population is rural and illiterate. The ancestral customs remain the only legal norms that the people spontaneously have recourse to, without even bothering about the existance of modern law childbird is always assured by non-legitimate midwives, who in the case of any difficulty
Ducros, Garance. "Mariage et prestations matrimoniales : enjeux de l'alliance dans la société japonaise contemporaine." Toulouse 2, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2008TOU20071.
Full textWhen talking about a girl going to get married, the Japanese use even now expressions like “to go as a bride” (yome ni iku 嫁に行く) or “to receive a bride” (yome o morau 嫁をもらう). These expressions made sense when the household (ie家) was considered to be the basis of social organisation. At that time, marriage for a woman meant leaving the household of her family to celebrate the wedding in the home of her husband, living there and being integrated into the household of his family. Marriage has been going through significant changes, however. Nowadays, it no longer takes place at home but in wedding halls and some newly married couples decide to live in the house of the bride's parents rather than in that of the groom's parents. These trends oppose the basic two conditions of the bride-entering marriage (yome iri kon 嫁入り婚) mentioned above and lead us to question what the contemporary marriage and its system are. To elucidate the prevailing dynamics of marriage, the author conducted fieldwork on three generations of people in rural and urban areas, mainly in the Aichi prefecture where the wedding is well known for its sumptuosity. There an adage has it that bankruptcy looms for those who have three daughters and trousseaux are transported in big trucks decorated with large white and red ribbons. Taking also into account the results of Western and Japanese research on the subject, the present study tries to shed light on the logic underlying exchange and transaction in marriage that punctuate the whole process of marriage

Full textBased on a phenomenological approach and an ethnomarketing protocol, this doctoral dissertation explores to what extent the culture of consumption around weddings in France interferes with the observed subcultures (religious, areligious, of gender, of passions and lifestyles, etc.). Through the study of the social and market structures that guide the customer journey of fourteen observation units, it emerges that weddings are largely predetermined by rituals inherited from the subcultures of origin. Nonetheless, personalisation and cultural hybridisation are present in varying degrees, creating more meaningful experiences and shaping a unique identity to each celebration. This produces customer journeys with diverse and heterogeneous trajectories, oriented by a thematic referent framework and the leitmotiv to “throw a successful wedding"

Full textHow, in Africa, could the superposition of these simple and pure forms of marriages be prevented : the customary, the civil and the canonical forms ? Such a superposition is common in Benin where these three forms of marriages are performed independently of one another. However, a family and personal Code was promugated in august 2004. This Code recognises only the monogamous marriage. The Catholic Church in Africa, whose canonical marriage is monogamous , should have contributed to the promotion of the civil marriage defined by the family and personal code, by insisting on its performance before the religious marriage of her faithful. Also, she should have worked with the State and men of goodwill so that the rights and dignity of African women be respected

Full textBased on an ethnographic study of matrimonial activities at Zhang Village (Henan province), this dissertation aims to identify continuities and changes in matrimonial rituals and procedures and explain whether observed changes speak of a structural transformation of the institution of marriage in contemporary rural China. By studying the matrimonial activities step by step, it demonstrates that perpetuation of the patrilineal lineage remains a transcendent value encompassing all types of family relationships. Although there have been many changes in private life since the Chinese Communist Party’s rise to power in 1949, these changes primarily concern the ways in which family members maintain bonds with each other, whereas, the institution of marriage itself, and its principal vocation, that of perpetuating the patrilineal lineage, are hardly called into question. Thus, against the thesis of the individualization of Chinese society suggested by the Sino-American anthropologist YAN Yunxiang, the analyses provided in this dissertation put forward the idea that observed changes take place within a perennial structure vis-à-vis what they are secondary. In other words, it is a "change in society" instead of a "change of society"

Full textMotivared by national or international political ambition, the marriage of the kings of France follows a ritual more and more codified in the course of the XVIIth century. To understand the ceremony and his political impact, it is necessary to analyse different stages which compose it. Royal marriage dresses a double definition of civil contract and sacrament. The contract formalizes diplomatic or territorial agreements between both kingdoms and regulates the new juridical existence of the bride as queen of France. As for the religious ceremony, it is organized at three time : the union by proxy in the kingdom of the princess, the trip of the bride until France, and finally the renewal of sacrament in the presence of both couple. This nonstandard time is opportunity to be delighted and to feast. Celebrations are very important in the conjugal ceremony because they participate in the communion of the people and monarchic power, while reinforcing social and hierarchic links. The necessity to sit the face of the king as divine and sovereign leader, calls elaboration to edit State ceremonies coming to reinforce and to define power. From Henri IV, power sees a means in marriage to transport political announcements and so, by means of a directed propaganda, to construct or repeat the ideal picture of the monarch and his wife in the monarchal system. The stake of this thesis is to known if the marriage of the king of France can be considered to be a State ceremony, in the same capacity as those studied by Kantorowicz and his followers

Full textThis research approaches marriage ceremony among the Ait Soukhmanes by investigating how this practice and related oral literature evolve amid deep social and cultural modifications. The ceremony is presented in its global context and its constituents are analyzed and interpreted according to micro and macro contexts. The study focuses on the comparison of songs collected in their context of ritual performance in two different periods of time. The songs are analyzed with reference to the ethnolinguistic and hermeneutic approaches. The thematic analysis makes it possible to identify the link between act and spoken word in the performance as well as cross-cutting themes and beliefs. The literary approach has focused on the recurring stylistic processes of the songs. The relationship between the text and the overall context is established through the representations that these songs convey, such as the image of the ideal woman and the sense of honor. In the second part, the different factors influencing ritual practice and festive groups are highlighted. The conclusion is that beliefs and representations are more resistant than practices, these latter adapting to the way of life while undergoing external influences. The process of identity construction has been treated in the context of globalization where culture, especially artistic expressions, are a place of negotiation, resistance, affirmation and/or alienation. However, we see that the policies adopted to revitalize orality do not replace the primary orality which is preserved only when it is present in the community life. The open question remains how we can assure the conditions of the survival of oral literature

Full textThe Gabonese law seems impartial in the distribution of the roles and the division of the power within the couple. In order to check this assumption and to understand the motivations of this kind of marriage and the relations of gender, we sought to know how this act was defined in the common law while clarifying the modifications and the changes which it underwent in the course of time. These modifications are the resultant of the cohabitation between various people (Gabon is an ethnic mosaic) and French colonization. This carried out us towards a comparison between the habits, the French colonial law and the current Gabonese law. At resulting from this exercise, we arrived to two results: on the one hand, the current Gabonese law is resulting from the various rights which we have just started (local habits and French right colonial), which gives a hybrid character to him. On the other hand, we can note in these rights a resemblance, which is the submission of the wife to the husband. This last reality is concretized by the practice of polygamy and the direction which the Gabonese society gives to the dowry.

Full textThis thesis aims at describing the psychic development of humanity, in the long term, by identifying several datable and documentable stages. A new method, which is founded on myths, has been devised to study the past of humanity and discover the psychic structure 50, 100, 200 millenniums ago. Nine different methods for dating have been devised; the most obvious uses migrations: a myth found in Central America and in Siberia dates from before the migration that populated the Americas, in 15,000 BP. These various methods enable a dating that spans 200,000 years. The myths often describe metaphorically the ritual practices and explain their meanings. Ritual practices are symbolic acting out of repressed instincts. The overall methodology recovers the myths of the last 200,000 years in their initial form through multiple comparisons between archaic myths, dates them, recovers the rites from the myths, identifies the psychic instincts at work and reconstructs the history of human psyche. There are only three basic ritual practices, sacrifice, hierogamy and possession. These three rites, or their symbolic equivalents, are organized in six complexes, each formed of closely related ritual variants, and myths explaining the meaning of the rites. These complexes progress throughout the course of time. Each was practiced by the whole humanity during tens of millenniums, then transformed progressively into the next one. The practice of the rites seems to have caused a long term rise of the death instinct intensity

Full textThis thesis has a twofold objective. On the one hand, to examine the contemporary transformations of the Catholic wedding ritual in France based on an ethnographic observation of all the activities that comprise the rite — from preparation to celebration. On the other hand, to evaluate the relevance of Foucault's ‘‘technologies of the self’’ to reflect these activities. This dual dimension, ethnographic and theoretical, constitutes the basis of a ‘‘field philosophy’’ whose methodological issues are defined. The first part of this work is of an epistemological nature: it presents and discusses different ways of understanding contemporary Catholic rituality. The second part focuses on marriage preparation: we then explore the exercises set up by priests and lay animators of the association Centres de préparation au mariage (CPM). In particular, the reflective dimension of these devices (dispositifs) is highlighted, leading to the adoption of new narrative patterns and new communication techniques to engage in their couple's life. The third part focuses on the celebration of union: it is then shown that, in the context of contemporary Catholicism, the effectiveness of this rite can only be fully understood if it is considered in the light of the preparation that conditions it. Two general issues emerge from this work. On the one hand, the contributions of subjectification theory to ritual analysis are presented. On the other hand, ethnographic observations allow us to critically deepen Foucault's theory

Full textThe French civil solidarity pact (Pacs) is a contract binding two adult in order to organise their common life. Partners commit to mutual and material help. The Pacs also provides social and fiscal rights. Compared to most European legislations on same-sex partnershps, it dispalays some specificities, such as for instance the fact that it applies to both same-sex and different-sex couples. On the one hand the Pacs is supposed to recognize same-sex couples, on the other, it providesan alternative fordifferent sex couples who are not willing to chose marraiage. Thus, the Pacte civil de solidarité has potentially several meanings. This dissertation is based on the partners symbolic expectations toward the Pacte civil de solidarité. It focuses on the way contractants regard their own Pacs and experience the mode of registration on a personal level

Full textThe research subject of this thesis is marriage and conjugality on Lifou, an island of New Caledonia, from 1842, the beginning of evangelization, up until the present day. By studying socialization for marriage, matrimonial rituels and their transformations, it seeks to make a contribution to knowledge of the gender system of this Kanak region. Ceremonial life on Lifou today is governed by opulent marriage rituals. The age group system makes marriage an obligatory passage without which an individual cannot become an "adult" (nyipi atr). Once married, the productive and reproductive capacities of the wife belong to her husband. During ceremonial marriage exchanges, a veritable "war of gifts", the totality of the relatives who constitute the network of the two kinship groups present is reactivated. Honouring the members of ones kinship and alliance networks involves accepting marriage or a conjugal relationship. Marriage and conjugality were transformed by the action of the Christian missionaries who sought to replace the local model of separation and antagonism between the sexes by a gender system based on the conjugal couple, in which "the man is the head and the woman the body". Under the system of Native Regulations (régime de l’indigénat), colonial laws strengthened a husband's rights over his wife and considerably reduced the latter's freedom of action. It was only in 1946 (the end of the system of Native Regulations), and during the independence protests in the 1980s, that the women of Lifou gained new room for manoeuvre and could thus oppose a husband's unilateral exercise of power

Full text‘Marrying back home’ is one of the transnational practices demonstrated by Pakistani diaspora to maintain their links with their country of origin. This study is an attempt to understand what the mechanism of transnational marriages is and how transnational links are maintained, produced and reproduced by organizing marriages between families residing in France and Pakistan. Data were collected by employing qualitative research methods. As marriage is the collective affair of the family in Pakistan, it was considered essential to not only interview the spouses but their parents as well. Both corresponding families (the family of groom and the family of bride) in France and in Pakistan were interviewed to understand transnational marriage. The preferred pool of potential spouses is comprised of different layers of Punjabi kinship. Well maintained reciprocal relationships, cultural preferences to arrange marriages within kin, trust on acquaintances and to avoid the risk of anonymity were considered key determinants to define the primary spouse selection criteria. These determinants are supplemented by the complimentary criteria, including education, age, morality, and behavioral traits. Once primary and complimentary criteria are met, both generations (parents and their children) negotiate the adequacy of potential spouse to reach to the final decision of marriage. Family’s obligations, children’s capital, the interplay of authority, resistance and the kin, family’s marriage history, preserving the roots, and the transnational trust between the siblings determine the adequacy of a spouse as well as of the marriage. Though transnational Pakistani marriages follow the traditional patterns to celebrate marriage, nonetheless, migration has introduced some important alterations to different norms as practiced in Pakistan. In the similar vein, the family and household structure are undergoing transition due to their simultaneous presence between here and there. Transnational marriages maintain transnational links by inscribing the cultural values for family and marriage. However, the relationships across gender and generation are on the move by carrying the cultural influences from the host society

This research introduces a vocal called naç, known in the region of Tataouine (Southeast of Tunisia). It has as objective to introduce vocal type naç, to emphasize the musical production of men and women and to introduce the ritual of wedding which is an important opportunity of musical production. This Thesis includes four parts: the first one is a geographical presentation of the region; the second part introduces vocal type naç. It questions the musical practice in the region of Tataouine by studying themes approached by women and men. The third part studies the wedding ceremonies of three tribes: Ouled Dabbâb, Ouled Ch' hida and Dghâghra. We examine the sequence of rituals by clearing singing which accompany them. In The fourth part, we introduce a musical analysis of a selection of songs. This analysis, in one of its parts, focus on the musical elements (ladders, ambitus, and spaces). In another part, it studies the relationship between music and poem. It reveals two different types of singing: singing mélismatiques singing simple of festive domain and mélismatiques rich in significant phonemes of private domain

Full text"Iconic" society par excellence, the United Provinces in the seventeenth century is a place where images play a tremendous role in daily life. Meanwhile, marriage is an institution at the heart of a rehabilitation process and of a differentiation process of confessional identities involving dogmatic and disciplinary provisions. It is also a fundamental anthropological experience, experienced by everybody in the society, be it as actor or spectator. In this perspective, the matrimonial images pervade the whole visual culture of Dutch society and are at the crossroads of social, religious and political issues, at different scales, through the symbolics they involve and the social uses they are submitted to.

Full textIn the era of globalization, it is important to reflect on the realities that make this globalization possible. In the study of the social facts, the body becomes one of the foundations of socialization in societies referred to as traditional, but also in the modern societies. The traditional wedding of Bantu is one of the social practices of the body that, even today, resists the models imposed inside and outside of this culture. We are asking ourselves constantly about the reasons of this resistance. To understand, we have privileged the participating observation of the all ceremonial path, giving rise to this reality by the Kongo people of Angola, through an incursion in the history and his culture. We have also taken the option of interviews in a spirit of discovering and to have an open mind. Without closing the door to the new world and in consonance to the social evolution, the body resistance of the traditional wedding in Kongo is characterized as a crossbred body. Our interaction has been guided by the following words: body, wedding, resistance, family, society, state, church, identity, relationship and crossbreeding
Garcia, Léonardo. "Les Bailes Chinos : religiosité et métissages au Chili." Thesis, Paris 10, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2008PA100069/document.
Full textThe bailes chinos are a type of cross-cultural religious brotherhood that participates at most of the celebrations held all through Chile’s northern half and in central-western Argentina. The chinos, related to the model of ancient Hispanic colonial brotherhoods, characterize nowadays by their deep masculine identity and by a rituality focused mainly on the catholic cult to the Virgin (ex. shrines in La Tirana, La Candelaria-Copiapó and Andacollo). The term chino would refer to quechua “servant”, from where we can extrapolate its actual popular sense of “servants of the divine”. Nevertheless, this hypothesis, as the one relating the chinos to Chinese immigration to Chile, is largely uncertain. The chinos differ from other bailes religiosos in the practice dancing while playing their own instruments simultaneously; a particular type of flute (probably of pre-Hispanic origin, if compared with analogue archaeological examples), drums and banners, which guide visually the music and the dance. Nevertheless, it is important to appreciate the musical and choreographic diversity between groups of Norte Grande, Norte Chico and Central Chile. These identities generate also through the historical aspects of the south-Andean area as through the new social paradigms derived from an increasing globalisation. This PHD concerns the study of the bailes chinos from a comparative point of view, approaching the aspects of the rituality and the social integration of these groups in the context of actual Chile
Los bailes chinos son un tipo de sociedad religiosa mestiza presente en la mayoría de las festividades de la mitad septentrional de Chile y en el centro-oeste de Argentina. Los chinos, herederos del modelo de las cofradías coloniales, se caracterizan hoy en día por su fuerte identidad masculina y por una ritualidad esencialmente mariana (Ej. santuarios de La Tirana, La Candelaria-Copiapó y Andacollo). El término chino vendría de un vocablo quechua que significa “servidor”, de donde se extrapola el sentido popular actual de “servidor de la divinidad”. Sin embargo, esta hipótesis, así como aquella que los asocia a la inmigración China en Chile, son ampliamente criticables. Los chinos se distinguen de otros bailes religiosos por danzar ejecutando simultáneamente sus instrumentos; un tipo particular de flauta (de origen probablemente prehispánico, dada su semejanza con especimenes arqueológicos análogos), tambores y banderas, las que guían visualmente la música y la danza. A pesar de este denominador común, es igualmente importante el poder apreciar las particularidades musicales, coreográficas e indumentarias entre los grupos del Norte Grande, Norte Chico y Zona Central. Estas identidades específicas se generan también tanto a partir de los aspectos históricos del área sur-andina como de los paradigmas sociales derivados de una globalización progresiva. Esta tesis se centra en el estudio de los bailes chinos a partir de un punto de vista comparativo, abordando los aspectos de la ritualidad y la integración de estos grupos en el contexto del Chile actual

Full text"Iconic" society par excellence, the United Provinces in the seventeenth century is a place where images play a tremendous role in daily life. Meanwhile, marriage is an institution at the heart of a rehabilitation process and of a differentiation process of confessional identities involving dogmatic and disciplinary provisions. It is also a fundamental anthropological experience, experienced by everybody in the society, be it as actor or spectator. In this perspective, the matrimonial images pervade the whole visual culture of Dutch society and are at the crossroads of social, religious and political issues, at different scales, through the symbolics they involve and the social uses they are submitted to. How are confessional differences articulated to them? How are social distinctions manifested? What symbolic benefits do social actors get out of visual metaphors of marriage?

Full textSince the advent of colonization in the depths of the high mountains of west-Cameroon at the beginning of the XXth Century, many people felt either concerned, or deeply dismayed. In the Bandjoun society, several fundamental facts aimed at understanding the circumstances and the consequences which arose from the prescriptions of modern practices. The example of practices and Christian rites conveyed by the Western missionaries constitutes one of the main phenomena which were widely talked about at the beginning of the last Century. The cultural destiny of the Bandjoun people, like that of their tradition strongly attached to the customary values, is incontestably confronted as seen in the representations, the religious trajectories and/or spiritual routes existing: - First of all, between the daily life practices and the customary rites and the Christian sacraments. - Next, the impact of ancestral beliefs with respect to the Christian tradition. - Finally, the symbolic system of initiatory traditional values and the theological speech acquired during Baptism. The obviousness and the relevance of this collision find their root at social historical and ethnological level. My thesis does not aim at creating regret or amazement, rupture or continuity. It records the cultural complexity of the body, genuine space of cultural expression in Bandjoun. Conscious of the revelations which the advent of the local clergy in 1972 stimulates in building up the individual and collective representations inherent to Faith, through practices and protective and/or purifying body rites , these representations of the body do not only occur as a divine grace. They are a divine construction, conceived in the ancestral and socially elaborate memory

Full textThe women’s "money-go-rounds" phenomenon is omnipresent in West Africa, especially since the Eighties and the development crisis. This thesis analyzes the reasons of their success from an anthropological point of view, emphasizing the constraining effectiveness in these groups or networks of interdependent contribution, which oblige their members to save regularly in spite of economic difficulties. The thesis presents a comparative ethnography of "money-go-rounds" practices in various contexts : urban ones in Saint-Louis, Senegal, rural ones in Bafoulabé, Mali, and migratory ones in Ile-de-France. There are three great types of "money-go-rounds" in these contexts : grouping type, " depending on a manager " type, ceremonial type. Usually, "money-go-rounds" are overlapping in a complex system of ceremonial expenses, carried by the women for the rites of marriage and births. The author describes and analyzes this system, especially through the attribution of roles which configure the exchanges, and shows how the exchanges caused by the ceremonies, although often condemned as wasting, are at the origin of the dynamic of the "money-go-rounds". She uses the concept of symbolic effectiveness and describes a system of constraining references (circulating objects, uttered words, and performed gestures) which gives meaning to the women's life and, through their exchanges, shapes the society. The women thus express something unspeakable in everyday life of these Muslim societies, namely the central role of women in structuring the social networks

Full textFor several decades, the multiplication of the excavations of burial sets led to a renewal of knowledge on medieval funerary practices and allowed to operate syntheses on the subject at the local or regional level. In the North-Western Mediterranean area, a territory had never yet been the subject of a study on the topic: Corsica. This research proposes to overcome this observation by an archaeo-anthropological analysis of the archaeological material from recent excavations of three cemeteries associated with episcopal seats: Ajaccio, Sagone and Mariana. These cemeteries are characterised by a long period of use and a diversity of burials’ types. The main objective is, through the analysis of burial practices, to approach the cultural component, its permanencies and its evolutions over time. It is as well to highlight the specificities relating to each period at each site and to replace them in the larger context of North-Western Mediterranean basin, in order to underline any cultural influences or the formation of local traditions. This first level of analysis is coupled with a biological study of populations who were buried in order to characterize the funeral recruitment of the cemeteries, the recognition of the family or the social groups as well as the health status of the populations. All of these elements is, in a third step, replaced at the scale of the funerary space, so as to characterize its organization and its place in the landscape

Full textIn demographic litterature, it is unanimously accepted that the median and average ages for entering a first marriage and the rates of common-law unions and permanent celibacy increase with economic development, raised education levels and urbanization. However, the Southwest of Burkina Faso, despite its level of poverty, low literacy rate and rurality, has nuptiality indicators comparable to those of the Centre and Hauts Bassins regions where are located the capital Ouagadougou and the second largest city Bobo Dioulasso respectively. This paradoxical finding widens the research field regarding the determining factors of nuptiality. Consenquently, the matrimonial process is to be scrutinized of ethnic groups in the region, where matrimonial compensation is required even though officially prohibited in Burkina. To what extent can matrimonial compensation, which is an anthropological category, determine demographic paterns? In view of the impossibility of extending the study to all ethnic groups in the Southwest, the research is focused on the Dagara who represent 38% of inhabitants and of whom 40% are Christian. Christianity represents a crucial change. The methodological tool for this research is the comprehensive demographic approach, which is rooted in change and response theory

Full textThe study of the ritual practices of the african traditional milieu in general with particular reference to the Pedah of Anyron-Kope located in southern Togo. The thesis tries to shed light on the initiation rites as performed by the people in the south of Togo known as the Pedah. The study is essentially in three parts: the first part introduces the area of research namely Anyron-Kope with its geographical, historical backround as well as the organisation of the family, cosmogony, beliefs and religious practices. The second part devotes itself to the description of the life cycle of the woman, marriage, married life, pregnancy, childbirth, name-giving, initiation rites and upbringing. The last part deals with funeral rites consisting of preburial ceremonies, preparation for burial, burial itself as well as burial ceremonies. The study undertaken, by its title, description and analysis, illuminates for us the traditional practices of the Pedah and, on a socio-cultural level, provides us with salient points of reference concerning this community in southern Togo. The thesis is therefore the fruit of our concern to shed light on the great cultural wealth and the mystery of the practices and values involved in forming members of the Pedah society

Full textThis doctoral dissertation deals with the Arakanese, a tibeto-burman population of western Burma, it explores the significance of territory as a constituen of this buddhist society. In the first and contextual, i lay bare the peculiarity of Arakan state consisting of the predominance of water, and present the very field of my research observation : Mrauk U, capital city of the last arakanese kingdom, still rich of its historical legacy. With regard to this legacy, i am interested in analyzing notably the founding rites as welle as the current politics of the burmese government to promote tourism. The ethnography of the ceremonies related to events such as funerals, noviciate, marriage, underscores two facts : on the one hand, that social relations are heavily based on membership to a residential unit ; on the group shows itself clearlyduring the ritual ceremonies. Indeed, annual worships of the spirits (nat) reveal the value conferred on locality and terrotory is inscribed into several well-ordered units, which are included in a larger buddhist cosmology. Finally, this study underlines that the legend of the Buddha's Mahamuni image - the ancient palladium of the arakanese kingship - is the founding and federating myth of the arakanese society that maintains it via the buddhist statuary. By doing so, this society perpetuates the sacred space of this locality

Full textA burial is "the place where the remains of one or a several lates where deposited, and where enough signs are left so that the archaeologist can detect in the deposit the will to achieve a funerary gesture ; in a more restrictive way, this is a structure constitued for this funerary act. " (J. Leclerc, J. Tarrête in A. Leroi-Gourhan (dir. ), 1988). Our research tried to define using several and varied data (architectural installations, anthropological documents, furniture. . . ) the various criteria which determine a funerary practice. It also allows to understand in a better way prehistoric men behavior in the face of death. The methodology we applied made it possible to highlight a certain number of facts, in particular the funerary modes' concrdant and discordant elements of the Mediterranean Tyrrhenian areas (Corsica, Ligury, Tuscany). The produced results show a nonlinear evolution of the practised gestures. If the individual burial seems to be privileged at the oldest periods, the appearance of collective burial displaying secondary practices during more recent periods won't completely make us give up this type of deposit

Full textThe author first deals with the development of the ceremony of aduentus in Rom from the ancient times to the end of the Empire. He lays stress on the organisation of the ceremony in imprial times, when it assumes a civil and military form. This latter form prevails during the severian dynasty, and the aduentus looks like a triumph. When the conversion of the roman state to christianity makes an end to the traditional celebration of the triumph, a triumphal aduentus becomes a substitute for ti. In the bible also, there are particular forms of aduentus. In pagan latinity of the iiid and ivth centuries, the aduentus has become a descriptive matter. It is possible to make up a "thematic" of it and to find an applying ofit in various forms of literature. This "thematic" is used also in descriptions of the descent to hell and the apotheosis. With the conversion of the roman world to christianity, there is a "christianisation" of yhe aduentus. Difficult to detect in the aduentus augusti, it is clearly noticeable in the welcome of ecclesiastical dignitaries, of holy men, of relics. When it concerns christ himself, the aduentus becomes much more significant. The aduentus christi is sometimes pictured as an aduentus augusti, but the author is always worry about expressing the disparity between them. About such comparisons can be noticed a kind of reticence which lessens with the more and more effective
Hoffmann, Manfred. "Rythmes et valeurs dans trois rites dansants d'Europe : essai d'anthropologie filmique." Paris 10, 1992. http://www.theses.fr/1992PA100086.
Full textFollowing an exploration of the relationship between possession rites and music in Europe, several social-anthropological definitions of ritual are discussed and a paradigm for scenographic analysis is given. Three case studies of european anthropology provide the basis for a scenographic analysis of these rites that are then used to develop a strategy for the making of two films, pas de danse and danse avec l'icone, which constitute the main film part of the thesis. From pragmatic point of view music, dance and ritual are studied as figurative rhythms and from a global point of view the representation of the person is studied as a figuration of values. By progressing from the material elements to the ideational aspects of the ritual "mise en scene" the figuration could be seen as a synchronic procedure and or as a diachronic process. The figuration of rhythm and value has two complementary aspects: on the one hand, it is significant of human behavior in general and on the other hand, it permits the development of a general theory of film based on a scenographic paradigm within a cultural perspective. This is illustrated in two experimental films, geste du tireur an l'arc and ocean solide. A synthesis of portrait and dialogue is suggested as a valid film form to this approach

Full textThis research purpose to analyse the totality of the information delivered by the written and pictographic knowledges of the post-colonial time (16n-18n centuries), on the topic of the Tarascan funeral practices, one of the main cultural groups living at the postclassic time in Mexico (1250-1524 ac), and then to corroborate these ethnohistorical data by the approach of the archaeological excavations in the Zacapu area, state of Michoacan. The "relacion de Lichoacan" is the main Spanish chronicle to have delivered descriptions and illustrations of Tarascan funeral rituals in a ceremonial context. It shows the existence of two burial systems: cremation and inhumation. The site of las Milpillas has constituated the main setting of our archeologic works. Those led up the discovery of a burial joining 35 burials dated between 1280 and 1440 ac. The analyse of these two data models confirms the coexistence of different burial practices and permitted to observe the wide diversity and the complecity of Tarascan funeral rituals
