Mangalaza, Eugène Régis. "Vie et mort chez les Betsimisaraka : rupture et continuité." Bordeaux 2, 1988. http://www.theses.fr/1988BOR21003.
Full textWhen our body has breathed its final breath and has became first a "living corpse" (tambelon-paty), then "scattered bones" (taholam-balo) and finally "dust" (vovo-draha) what do we ourselves become? Far from this being the end, death is for the Betsimisaraka just step towards ancestrality. In their thanatic myths, funeral rites and proverbs, the Betsimisaraka try to show the creative dimension of death as a source of initiatic renewal. Death, which is inseparable from life is the final event around which all human activity revolves, just as the earth is structured from the ancestral tomb. It is therefore by invoking millenary traditions, such as their funeral rites, that the Betsimisaraka hope to resist the challenge of both the modern world and ideological and technological upheavals of all kinds
Ranorojaona-Pèlerin, Alice. "Joroterapia. Soigner avec la quête de sens." Thesis, La Réunion, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018LARE0025/document.
Full textThis research analyses a practice, born from diseases that didn’t find any answers in the biomedical field. It notices that the lack of sense or a very pejorative sense attributed to the disease results in an inner disorder which is likened to « chaos ». This void of our origins has been the roots of cosmogonic myths and ancient religions which constitute the first tidying of the world in all human civilizations. Death, the biggest disorder of human history, and any situation likened to it, bring back inside each individual this chaos and the anguish of self nihilation that is indivisible from it, through the disruption of its bonds. This is what is expressed in the psychosomatic demonstrations and the « supernatural » diseases. The tidying proposed in this practice leans on the human being, individual of bond and symbolism, which needs to be re-established individually and collectively speaking. It draws its inspiration from Malagasy culture and from its connection with the ancestors. This thesis aims to contribute to fill the breach between the scientific culture and the humanities’ one by giving birth to a boundary discipline: anthropomedicine
Burguet, Delphine. "Figures des maîtres rituels : les devins-guérisseurs dans l’histoire et aujourd’hui : savoir, action et pouvoir à Madagascar." Paris, EHESS, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014EHES0625.
Full textThe aim of this thesis is to focus on diviner-healer, in other words, the ritual master and his different figures whose authority is part of the tradition. The research has been devoted to this holder of knowledge who point and anhances his actions in a belief system associated to the traditional worship which includes royal, family and nature spirits. Being acknowledge as a diviner-healer in a broad sense requires full knowledge of plants and charms that are active over people, as well as knowledge of divination and mobilisation of spirits. He acts for the community or for one person and so, subgroups of specialists get organized according to that characteristic. The prepared charms are meant for those who ask for them and, in fact, the ritual cations actually aim at avoiding, curing and solving any kind of problems. In order to restore the religious and political landscape, the divine-healer is involved in, the historical dimension is considered, so as to evaluate the time but also space values of its fields of action, and to comprehend the production of actions or reactions in a context of institutional domination. Showing multiple faces, he is seen as having power - either therapeutic, magic, social or political - considered as such from a historical point of view. As the central figure of this research, he is also observed in situation and in relation, a study based on ethnographic data
Mouzard, Thomas. "Territoire, trajectoire, réseau : créativité rituelle populaire, identification et Etat postcolonial (une triple étude de cas malgache)." Paris, EHESS, 2011. https://tel.archives-ouvertes.fr/tel-00819403.
Full textThis work makes comparative analysis and description of the three religious phenomena over the last few years in Madagascar, well enough characterized by the semantic expedient "popular creative ritual", and which can be labelled respectively as follows: anti-sorcery ceremony (1975-1983, North-East); funerary procession (oct. 2001- jan. 2002); cult of possession (from the late 1980's, Tuléar city). Comparison of these phenomena initialy highlights a certain homology between the first two with respect to the third. They are distinguished by mobility, by their coincidence with strong national circumstances, as well as by their vivid and contrasting interaction with government representatives. Analysis then points up the analogy between the first two cases and the national politics with which they are synchronic. From this study of pragmatic relationships which are active in the specific frameworks of these rituals, there emerges three models of power structuring acting as matrix of inter-subjectivity, called "territory", "trajectory", and "network". Without claiming any determining relationship "from the above", the goal in conclusion is to document the sociological activation of these models, approached in terms of legitimacy construction. In the end, it is in the construction of collective identity "from the below" and in action, through ritual, that these phenomena merit reflection and theory. It is remarkable to note that these mechanisms borrow - even as they rework - certain representations and practices from the sphere of the state, even as they integrate them with fields of ancestrality
Delcroix, Françoise. "Les cérémonies lignagères et la crise de l'élevage bovin extensif en pays Sakalava Menabe, Madagascar." Paris, EHESS, 1994. http://www.theses.fr/1994EHES0005.
Full textFor centuries, extensive pastoral activities amongst the sakalava from menabe aimed at hoarding zebus for ceremonial killing. Zebus sacrifice is the core of sakalava's social organisation. Today pastoral crisis gives way to a new social hierarchy. The zebu's high value in ceremonial ideology was not affected by the decreasing number of herds. This thesis explores the sakalava's social organisation, pastoral activities, nad lineage ceremonial cycle. It draws a comparison between rituals and their transformations in crisis time. It thesis examines the bases of patronage relationship, the importance of ancestors as keepers of a social order, and the development of rice growing as an alternative to accumulate zebus. Fieldwork was carried in three areas, each of which representative of a different level of socioeconomic change in the menabe. Comparative data are used to show that development programs are successfully undermined by local power holders for their own purpose. This thesis was part of research done by l'equipe de recherche associee from tulear,it selects ceremonies as the key element of lineage systems in order to analyze social change, as the necessary step prior to any development project
Breton, Stéphane. "Les Roues de la fécondite : logique et logique du signe : fétichisme et inversion dans les rituels des sociétés de Nouvelle-Guinée." Paris, EHESS, 1986. http://www.theses.fr/1986EHES0080.
Full textThrough several ritual inversions taken from different societies of new guinea- which relate to the concept of object, to the exchange of goods, to the social and psycho- physiological identity of the individual, to sexual transvesticism, -it is possible to define the specific logic of ritual, which is completely exemplified in the inversion as a form: in the logics that are dominated the denial of the dominating discourse. But this ideo-logic, this symbolic logic is not only that of a so-called primitive societyand, in this one, of animistic and fetichistic practices. We see it also working in the mind of the hesiodic peasant, in the japanese zen, infilm and even, through its denial, in the philosophical and psychoanalytical myths of the western civilization. The logic of symbolism has to be distinguished from the logic of sign as the ritual from language. In our culture where nothing, in right, as we believe it, should escape from the imperialism of discourse, it seems hard to believe that a certain type of meaning or rather, of articulation, could not be conveyed by speech. But such an articulation does exist, as shows the example of the "language" of film and, to a lesser degree, that of photography: it is the image. And, to the same extent that the image inaugurates a new era of symbolism for the western culture, it is it which characterizes the true nature of the ritual and its symbolism. In the image, the signifying goes beyond the signified, and the sign, as it were, is flattened. Moreover, symbolism, the "language" of images, obeys a non-linear articulation, contrary to speech which determines successively its meaning, but instanta- neously, as in a picture in which the information is given once and for all, in an order that is not that of speech. To show through the typical examples of film and ritual, an ideo-logic emancipa- ted from the sign leads us, finally, to moderate the belief that the western culture nourrishes towards its own habitus: if ritual is not entirely in language, the western civilization is not entirely in the sign
Mendes, Arlindo. "Les rituels funéraires à Santiago aux îles du Cap-vert." Pau, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2008PAUU1003.
Full textThe guiding idea of the thesis consists in the analysis of the funal rituals in Santiago and our aim is to bring out the role these ritual practices play in maintaining social solidarity and relationship. We have analyzed the context, the concepts and the functions of the rites as well as the circumstances of death, the cadaver makeup, the cadaver exhibition and the condolence. We have also studied the ritual specificities and other factors like lamentations, funeral procession, graveyard and esteira symbolic, prayers, signification of the mourning, mutual assistance and finally funeral banquet. As to the proscriptions, the taboos and the exorcising or propitiatory activities, they offer means to surmount the anguish and anxiety spread by death in a way. In this work, we have thought over the role the Church can play in confronting death. An outline of actual Santiago ritual tendencies has been drawn too. If this thesis can make contributions to the research on cultural traditions and help the Capverdians reconsider their identity question, our goal will have been attained
Ballarin, Marie-Pierre. "Les reliques royales sakalava : source de légitimation et enjeu de pouvoir : (Madagascar, XVIIIème-XXème)." Paris 7, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1998PA070094.
Full textThe sakalava royal symbolic is expressed in the conservation of deceased kings remains. These regalia are probably a typical example of the ever present relationship to ancestors in western malagasy societies. In the sakalava societies, the cult of relics was practised by the inhabitants of the west of madagascar before the formation of dynasties. This cult will be promoted as a royal culte in the course of the constitution of the kingdoms. As medieval saints in europe, the royal ancestor, through his relics, protects not only the royal descent but also the subjects as a whole. The agricultural protection provided by the relics cult becomes an instrument of political legitimisation for the dynasties. From then onwards, the remains of the royal body are kept in a reliquary and play a fundamental role in the practice of power. Source of legitimisation or legitimising source, what role will the relics play after the lose of souvereignty that follows the merina and frenh conquests ? by 1882, the french and the merina have entered into a bitter struggle for the keeping of the relics, a useful to maintain the submission of the sakalava population. At last, in the wake of independence, the legitimising role of these regalia again applies again in the context of the new stakes of power. In moments of political crisis, the relics of the sakalava kings, and more globally, the royal symbolic, constitute the main reference of in-fights and alliances. Stressing the ambivalence between power and religion, still a relevant topic today, we will see the lasting efficiency of these ancien ideological principles in today's local context. Today, the possession of relics remains locally a major stake and a force of legitimisation. It is therefore in a broad historical context that this attempt to understand the relationship with ancestors is located

Full textThis thesis deals with the Mangyan Patag of the Philippines, society of some 15 000 people, speaking the minangyan language. The approach chosen to understand this society, in which descent groups and marriage alliance are absent, is the analysis of rituals which articulate and renew space and relationships, both understood as being socio-cosmic. The work of the human beings consists in feeding rice to their dead and ancestors who hold the authority and give abundance; this interdependence is explicit for the agrarian rituals and the death rituals. The relations between the different beings - humans, malevolent spirits and ancestors ('āpu) - are animated by rituals. From the differentiation of these relations, as welle as from the particular place of rice the basic principles are drawn, that organize the social relations and define the local group around the opposition of siblings and married couples. This society is also constituted by beings in relation to soil and locality
