Full textThis thesis is a study of the social organization and religious thought of the Watchi people of South-east Togo. Its principal argument consists in revealing the systematic correlation that exists between the two -agnatic and uterine- axes of warchi kinship and two logical modes of symbolic thinking -contiguity and substitution. Kinship thus no longer constitutes a domain among others, but becomes the key to all domains of watchi society. This study endeavors to demonstrate it by applying this key to different "entrance ways" into the watchi symbolic system, such as origin stories (ch. 2), spatialmorphology (ch. 3), the matrimonial system (ch. 4), funeral rites (ch. 5), religious art (ch. 7), the culinary code (ch. 8), initiation (ch. 9) and witchcraft (ch. 10)

Full textThis dissertation is based on field work carred out in a moosi village, locted in the east of burkina faso. Alocal story tells of a man who left another village to found his own, how this man came to be considered an "elder brother", and how he was obliged to submit himself to the authority of the chief of his village of origin. In the village, every chief is held to be attached to this fondation and every year he organizes a feast to honour the ancestors, both the founder and other patrilineal ancestors, and to renew his power. Districts, the territorial subdivisions of the village, are each inhabited by one patrilineage who conduct his own marriages and funerals. At a funeral, the deceased must be transformed into a sprit. The "children of the dead person" and his "joking kinsmen" see to this transformation. In this way, the deceased is given to the earth-mother, female part of the moosi god' wende. During funerals, the inhabitants are no longer subordinated to their ancestors but to wende. Funerals are very differents from other village or district rituals, since they call into question the villagers'values. Thus institutional forms, most notably territorial power represented by the village chief, are in contradiction with the funeral rituel wich reestablishes original principles that the arrival of a civilizing hero, the founder of the village, overturned once long ago

Full textThe dagara society, as far as its social and economic patterms are concerned, is a linear and segmental society among many others in africa. Its specificity is to have in its different ethnic subgroups the whole lot of lineage patterns : patrilinear lineage, double lineage from one line (bifiliation emphasizing the patrilinear or the matrilinear side). In the following study, we have put an emphasis on the perspectives peculiar to economic anthropology. We endeavour more in stuying : - the relations that the production agents set up not only between themselves but also between ant the nature, the production conditions. In short, we mean to study what, according to marx, consists precisely in the society from economic structure vewpoint. The perspectives, characteristic of the cultural and religious anthropology, have not been neglected for all that. Our purpose is to study the social and economic organisation of the dagara, from its present reality to speculatively infer its previous working order, that is, its situation before colonization. The present changes in the dagara society, despite the interest they show, have not been systematicaly analysed as part of the present study. To understand the economic law of the dagara society, we explained our processes in three main parts, besides the annexes which are compiled in a separate volume (cf. Volume iii). The first part deals with the people, their land and history. It forms the subject of volume i. The second part (volume ii. Book i) deals with dagara as "people of the lineage". The third part (volume ii. Book ii) is dedicated to the dagara as "people of the land". Finally, the conclusion endeavours in studying the linking of the lineage production method with the capitalistic production one and looks into the future of the african rural communities

Full textThe present article is a contribution to the understanding of the notion of "joking relationships" (utani in Swahili) and the practices it points to. The reflexive approach here adopted aims at questioning the category itself and unveiling the theoretical orientations on which it rests. The following step of the work is concerned with the production and reproduction of such practices in relation to the workings of power and the affirmation of ethnic identity in Tanzania. It is discussed from both historical and present-day point of view. Finally the work deals with the growing debates around the notion of "joking relationships" and the process of the re-imagining of local traditions by the re-reading of anthropological conceptual tools

Full textAt the meeting point of the anthropology of kinship and the sociology of the family, the research deals with the family relationships of moose (or mossi) women as social partners. The first part expounds the social environment of the sikoomse neighbourhood, in the south-west of the moose country in burkina- faso. The amount of kinship relationships is updated and explained by local endogamy and preferential exchanges between some lineages. These points infer short distances between married women and their families. The high level of migration generates a population deficit which increases the female workload. In the second part, the daily relationships among women are analysed through their activities. Women are divided into three age groups, young girls, mothers and elderly women, thus creating a real female melting pot in which the youngest are taught about techniques but also about their matrimonial destiny. The relationships between the women of the compound stretch as far as the whole neighbourhood. For example, co-wives are not only the spouses of one man, but also of classificatory brothers. They help one another for the communal tasks but otherwise keep their distance since each spouse and her children make up an independant unit. The last part describes economic, affective and matrimonial exchanges between women and their male relatives - brothers, uncles, brothers-in-law. The parts played by women in rituals, some of which are specific to the sikoomse (initiation, funerals), have also been highlighted. The function of + circulating ; foods, informations, young brides seems to be female hallmark in this patrilineal society

Full textIn this thesis, the author analyzes how a West African society, the Kasena, transforms a geographic space into a territory. What are the notions, institutions, myths, ritual practices and daily behaviour through which the Kasena build up their relationship to ground and space? The study of the category of divinities called tangwam by Kasena and "skin of the earth" by their neighbours, fives the major axis of the work. The word tangwam means not only the sacred spot where periodically men renew a pact with the ground divinities but also the spot where symbolically all the members of an agnatic group (lineage) "breathe" and the "space of breath" for two lineages bonded by a commune residence in a same part of the village. One could say that these "skins of the earth" are alike the "territory-gods" about which S. Czarnowski, speaking of Greek and Roman civilizations, writes that "they are nothing but the territory itself" (1932). The work, divided in 10 chapters, includes an introduction on the Kasena as ethnic group and two parts, headed "space and kinship" and "earth and chieftainry". In the first part, the author deals with the question of territorial bonds, taking as point of view the internal organization of social groups dwelling in a same portion of land. The second part discusses the same question but, this time, through an examination of the territorial system

Full textThe relations, as conceived of by the Masa, between the reproduction of sorghum and that of humans is the main of focus of this thesis. From 2009 to 2010, twenty-two months of ethnographic fieldwork was carried out in several villages of Far-North Cameroon, mainly in Nuldayna, in order to document the technical, cognitive, social and ritual processes by which farmers maintain and reproduce, both on a yearly basis and from generation to generation, a wide array of sorghum landraces. Sorghum is a keystone of the Masa material and social life. It is by far the main crop, the main staple, a widely used ritual ingredient and, through its transmission across generations, a symbol of social identity and of the patrilineage’s continuity. However, after a man’s death, his sorghum seeds become sterile. Their fertility may only be regained by triggering a ritual circuit involving the kinship relationships that had enabled the deceased to marry. The analysis of this ritual, as well as those related to funerals and inheritance, shows that the sorghum’s reproductive capabilities are dependent on those of its owner. While individuals’ procreative powers are held to be a necessary condition for perpetuating the patrilineage both materially and socially, these powers cannot be transmitted in the male line without involving the horizontal relations of affinity. Moreover, the systematic analyses of agricultural practices, of ethnobotanical knowledge regarding sorghum diversity and of seed exchange networks, reveals that affinity is also essential for the inter-annual reproduction and maintenance of sorghum, including those seeds that are proudly presented as ‘the seeds of our fathers.’ More generally, this work attempts to demonstrate that, using mixed qualitative and quantitative methods, the study of crops and of the indigenous conceptions related to their reproduction can provide important insights into the study of human societies

Full textBased on the filiation rules within the Mossi, a few works have highlighted that the concept of being orphan does not exist in that society. Those works support that the oldest child or brothers of the biological father do care for the orphans after the father’s death. That idea is ingrained in the belief that the Mossi represent a collective group where individual’s wills are dissolved within the extended family expectations. In our perspective, that reference to the Mossi as a collective group seems to be simplistic. Based on direct observation and 20 interviews laid nearby households, this research aims at understanding the logics of actors about the family care to the orphans.Contrary to the biases, this research concludes that: 1) The father’s death reveals prior conflicts between the deceased and his brother, and proves to lead to conflicts that opposes the widow and her family to the family of the spouse. Those conflicts laid on the access to the heritages. Indeed, according to the lineage logic, the women appears as foreigner in their husband family. They are not allowed to inherit from their spouse, contrary to the civil law of Burkina Faso. These conflicts make detrimental the father’s family support to orphans. As a consequence, we noted that a few orphans have been transferred to their mother’s family or to non-related family on purpose of education; 2) Most of the children who have lost their mother are maintained in their father’s household. We noted that men have a sort of ego that leads them to think of orphan fosterage as a social irresponsibility. We may highlight that the step-mothers play an important role at supporting the orphans. In doing so, according to men, they appear as an illustration of the importance of the polygamy; 3) The strategy of transferring the children in order to assure their education is not always rewarded. It happens that the receiving household ask some compensations from the fostered children such as domestic chores. What is notable is that, generally, those children arrange so that their works may not restrain their education; 4) The filiation relationship does not lead to social recognition of alliance. This research brings up the necessity to enlarge the concept of the extended family in the case of orphan’s fosterage in the Mossi’s society, that is, the necessity of better defining the fact of belonging to extended family. Beyond the filiation rules, the modes of the orphan fosterage and the social and economic context do play an important role.

Full textThe displacement of populations among the Kissi is often a consequence of war in the 90’s. This fact will constantly contributes more and more to changes in the social structure of Kissi people. The Kissi of Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia are known for their observance of rites, the most important of which is customary marriage, principal regulatory apparatus of the community. It crowns and validates the sequence of rituals right from childhood. The Sierra Leonean and Liberian civil wars in the ‘90s displaced a huge part of the population, including the Kissi in particular, whom the two countries in war had forced into the Kissi territory in neighboring Guinea. The inflow of Kissi from Sierra Leone and Liberia, made up of women considered as “widows of wars”, changes the social and cultural situations of the Kissi in Guinea. The receiving population, designated as Kissi-from-here, developed reflexes to conserve and monopolize legitimacy regarding the arriving population baptized as Kissi-from-elsewhere. Between these peoples are established visible and invisible borders due to the dynamics set in motion by the sudden inflow. This could not but restructures the Kissi community. For, the motivating factor of the inflow of sierra leoneans and liberians to Guinean territory was the possibility of reconnecting with the extended family across the borders in the hope of their social rebuilding. The dynamics caused by these inflows restructure the Kissi community starting with the main institution: customary marriage. This thesis focuses on specific part of the displaced Kissi populations, a priori, with an attempts to show how a minority group can influence, modify and even overturn the way of life, the self-vision and the self-definition of an apparently dominant group. From socio-anthropological perspective, in this study, the accent is placed on the refugee woman with emphasis on her position through the prism of social organization and customary marriage. It shows how among the Kissi in Guinea, the transformation of social structures determine new forms of marital union. More also, how it facilitate the community’s upkeep and the reconfiguration of its foundations.Women occupy the heart of this research, but in general, the focus is on men and women; bringing into light the differences and the similarities between their marital organizations. Practically, by this research, the culture of confrontation acquired by the Kissi-from-elsewhere through the traumatic experience of war, challenges and transforms the culture of encounter and allows the displaced wife in Guinea to be adapted to her situation of vulnerability
Agyune, Ndone Fabrice. "Les Makina du Gabon : une anthropologie des rythmes de la transformation ethnique." Thesis, Lyon 2, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009LYO20109.
Full textThe main proposal of this doctoral dissertation is an insightful study of the historical, linguistic and anthropological transformations of the Makina, an ethnic group of Northern and Eastern Gabon. These transformations are referred to the change, during the last century, of the original ethnonym as well as that of the language, of matrimonial rules, and finally of clan and person naming. On the whole, the author’s demonstration leads to the evidence of a rhythmical pattern in change, even a polyrhythmical one, as the differences in speed between different components of an ethnic group may be interpreted as a multi rhythmical transformation system. 81 genealogical diagrams and over 747 individual data collected on fieldwork give strong support to the different aspects of the author’s thesis
