Nkamgnia, Jean. "Le problème moral dans la société africaine d'après le roman africain francophone de 1970 à 1980." Montpellier 3, 1986. http://www.theses.fr/1986MON30019.
Full textThe production of novels is growing fastly today in black africa than ever. But this is mainly due to the fact that the ackward political regimes and the uneffective social institutions are degenerating into crisis, crisis that were to expect as nobody nowhere is able to stand evil all the time. It appears therefore that nowadays literary creation in africa depends above all on the feeling of disgust and disappointment. In all evidence, one would have expected a new way of life through the political self-reliance that all the africans longed for very eagerly during years of colonization of the continent by some western countries. Today, the people seem to be enslaved than before and the moralists are struggling for the establishment of a new social and economical policy more suitable to the moral, material and intellectual blowing of the black african people. The novelists tendency is to believe that the failure of our morality explains or justifies the failure of most of the development projects in our countries. Many of them believe that the future of our continent depends on the way moral problems are going to be solved. They try to call the attention of every true african on this reality. That no evolution is possible without a deep reshaping of our mentality. Africans have to fight corruption, nepotism. . . , all the evils that actually prevent our society to get to its real dimension. The stylistic devices that they use serve that purpose and in a very revolutionary way. The structures of the novels too. But unfortunately they are very few those who read those novels and this for many reasons. The african novelists should any way rely on the perspicacity of the cultural authorities as to obtain that their works be associated with other means of communication of thought such as television for example

Full textThis thesis investigates the methods of hybridization of companies in Gabon, taking as an example a company established in Libreville since 1969, the Miller and Poultry Company of Gabon (SMAG). Hybridization theories were initially focused on the biological field, particularly on plant biology. It's common knowledge that Mendel's laws stem from the observation of the experimental crossing of several species of beans. It is suitable, therefore, to question the concept of hybridization in its application to the humanities before experimenting it in a corporate anthropology, which is envisaged in this study. With this reading and this analysis, we emphasize the importance of the dual contribution, the dual exchange, that are at stake in a working and production environment. The experiment shows the importance of this adaptation. Two realities and two conceptions of life and work meet. The richness of these interactions is the focal point of this study. The one that seemed the newest and the most original
Frasson-Quenoz, Florent. "La construction de la communauté de sécurité africaine : une perspective africaine." Thesis, Lyon 3, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011LYO30015.
Full textThe difficulties met to insure the preservation of the peace and the international security on the African continent constitute a real obstacle to the economic development, a danger for the populations and a serious threat for the survival of States.The classic theoretical tools of the international security having proved insufficient to provide an answer to this issue, our objective is to determine, on the basis of the constructivist approach, whether African States show a real willingness and\or a capacity to build a Security Community (SC) that would be able to overcome these difficulties.In order to do so we question whether a link exists between the production of “speech acts” on the one hand and the promotion and the adoption of pacific regulation norms for conflicts on the other, and we examine the way African States apprehend their relations with other members of the supposed SC.The additional use of the concept of “region” and the adoption of an African perspective allow us to divide the object of study "Africa" into several subsets more propitious to the achievement of a scientific study, and to evaluate the relevance and the meaning of the SC concept when applied to the African field of study

Full textThe detailed structural analysis of a corpus of traditional games played by Congo Brazzaville "Ndzebi" children allowed, by observations, by the study of game structure modelling and by semi directive interviews, to show characteristic traits, and social and cultural signification of the "Ndzebi" society. Their proximity with their natural and cultural environment from which they take out material to make game objects (object relationship) ; the existence of two parallel institutions "the men home" which is strictly forbidden to women and reserved for usual initiation and boys socialization by games. "The family kitchen" reserved for girl education, for mother and women life of the village is the community life basis. Men and women place, social compromise, in spite of the social relation dissymetric structure ; the birthright, the non subjection odf standards in these practices and their evolution in ritual characterize by motor action, identity and vestiges of game activities. Comparatively with institutionalized games, this other dissymetrical model reflects a difference with western societies which are based on equal opportunities - the symmetrical democartic model. Moreover, one notices a perceptible evolution towards this civilizational model, which tends towards custom cultural mixing. This close relation between game characteristics and local culture straits works towards the interpretation of reality in the "Ndzeba" child accomplishment by games

Full textIn the thirteen novels of Nadine Gordimer, the social and sexual lives of the characters are, in general, closely related to the politics of apartheid. Thus, in the first part of this doctoral thesis, the human relations within the family are analysed; new kinds of family relations and the rejection of the old values, are some of the observations one can make. The following subject is that of sexuality. The position of Nadine Gordimer on issues such as feminism and homosexuality are dealt with. A third part concerns racism and its crucial role in a regime like that of apartheid. Racism strives for racial segregation and pretends that one group of humans is superior to the others because of its colour. Thus, the next part undertakes to overview the categorisation of humans in the South African society. A final part analyses the influence of this system of apartheid on the very construction of the notion of space in the novels

Full textFrench guyanas is a part of south america situated between brazil and suriname. After its discovery in the 15th century is was bitterly disputed by the european nations. Slavery for blacks was then imagined as a mean of developpint it. The white settlers then tired hard toimpose their culture on the slaves. But the memory of black heritage was preserved first by the maroon slaves, those slaves how escaped from the plantations and formed groups, then by the bossales ans the creoles thus creating a synthesis of the two cultures. The survival of this african culture can be found first in our daily pratises, may it be materially or spiritually ; secondly in an oral litterature made up of folk tales and proverbs found in the songs ans in the dances. Furthermore a written litterature which apparead later but which remains quite modest in nature, reactivals this african memory since rene maran. With the negritude movement the african theme was exclusively used in the search for identity. This could be found in the work of leon damas and other writers who succeeded him but is progressively declining. Thus the object of this thesis was to make an attempt at listing what we think remain

Full textThe study that we have deposited considers beyond a collection of thirty texts fourth essentiel parts. The first one has been chiefly devoted to the evocation at pende's literature specificity from textx nature, their statut's meaning, the allegoric texts hierarchization and their education's nature. So pende's literar text presented a great juridic connotation, as that, it was conceived like an argumentation to go inside a plaidoyer logic. At that view, only the sociologic approach of literature could be justified though the structuralism might serve like a precious tool to confirm us in our approach. So the second might have been devoted to the texts literary analysis. The third part might conceive the story in relation with the anthropologic information that it delives. So we approached semantic study's stories wich delived us immediate meaning's stories. In that we considered the initiatic search as the mediate meaning of pende's stories and then we approached the stories's didactisme, and at last, the symbolic's meaning of pende's stories. The fourth part at last invited to study the literature like a social phenomene and the confrontation of literary speech to ideologic speech from their respective contents and objects, their assertive's forms, irreal character of literary speech and at last their manicheism. The second point of this part led to consider literary and ideologic productions while the third point set literary and ideologic verticalities, that is to say the places and the diffusion time and without forget ideologico-literary diffusion's relaies and at last ideologic inculcation's means of literature or narrative processes's meaning. The last point of the fourth part at last was devoted to literary relation and to ideologic consumption seting literary consumption and linguisticocultural capital, linguistico-cultural capital and juridico-political efficience, the narrator and authority's language and, at last, the literary, relation to literary and social elevation

Full textThe protection powers of the African Commission give rise to various criticisms because of its non-jurisdictional nature. However, it has continued to expand its field of action and strengthen its powers of protection despite the creation of an African Court. The analysis of the factors of the rise of this body of control has revealed a double dynamic resulting from its relations with the States and its interactions with other actors of the African system. A first dynamic favoured the construction of powers specific to the African Commission through an operationalization of its advisory function and a ‘jurisdictionalization’ of its contentious function. A second dynamic consisted of a reconstruction of the powers of States around the idea of the inviolability of human rights and a rebalancing of the obligations and rights of the various actors of the African system for the protection of human rights. It has thus been shown that the African Commission has freed itself from certain structural and normative restrictions in order to give the necessary effectiveness to its mission of protecting human rights in Africa. As a result, it remains the main safeguarding body likely to enhance the effectiveness of the African system in a complementary way with the action of the other mechanisms. In reality, the effectiveness of the protection of human rights results less from the jurisdictional nature of the supervisory body or from the binding nature of the instruments in force than from the practice of the actors in the system and their ability to respect the protected rights
Ngodjo, Ngodjo Elian Sedrik. "Pour une sociopoétique de la nouvelle subsaharienne francophone." Thesis, Limoges, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020LIMO0018.
Full textLong confined to the margins of literary history, the short-story genre in French-speaking Africa has often lacked visibility among critics. Between a long-standing latent disinterest and nascent scientific research today, the short-story has for too long been absent in the African literary field. However, this peripheral posture seems inaccurate and incongruous nowadays, when one revisits its historical trajectory, and especially when we consider the interest that some writers take in it. Having achieved its autonomy as a genre, the short-story can no longer be considered a « premature novel », an « illegitimate genre » etc. This obsolete and old-fashioned vision is here reassessed, and allows, somehow, to direct the critical gaze (on its forms, its favorite themes ...), towards a more objective conception, built from the latest developments of the genre. Like the other narrative forms, and perhaps even more elaborately, the short story, in the French-speaking world, addresses the authors’ social experiences, summarizes their vision of the world and shows the process of its evolution in Sub-Saharan Africa. It is the overwhelming evidence of the observed and experienced reality of the short-story writer in a given time period in the history of his society. The short-story genre takes on the task of bringing to light, with a touch of realism, the worries and phenomena behind the dislocations and transformations of African societies. Based on new social representations taking place in Africa, it bears witness to a transformed Africa, stubbornly oriented towards fundamentally modern structures. For this reason, this genre tends to claim a new perspective, based on a debate devoid of any bias which has impacted it so far

Full textThis sociological study offers a comprehensive study of the Université des Montagnes, a civil society initiative in response to the crisis in higher education in Cameroon in the 1990’s. A field study undertaken within the institution, using a participatory approach, enabled us to collect quantitative and qualitative data which was used to produce a grounded theory (Glaser and A. Strauss) approach that highlights the specific features of this alternative institution which is unique in Cameroon. The first break shown by our analysis is that the Université des Montagnes was entirely conceived, imagined, and established by a group of citizens determined to relieve the State of its monopoly on the development of higher education in Cameroon. To accomplish this, the founders, through a method that was reflective and critical in relation to the existing model, developed an innovative philosophy of education and pedagogy that reconciles the applied and professional sciences, and pedagogy founded on African culture. In short, our study shows the emergence of a general, professional, and people’s university. The project seeks to furnish a systematic and adaptive synthesis of reference university models that have structured higher education across the world. Notwithstanding the difficulties involved in collective adoption of the project, after fifteen years of existence, this people’s experiment appears to have been an analyser and catalyst for social innovation, considering its impact in the area of higher education in Cameroon

Full textBetween theatre and society eexist a dialectic relationship. The theatre gets its material from the society and sends back messages to the society. Our present aim is to make a comparative study of the image of the society in the plays of two african contemporary playwrights : femi osofisan, nigerian and s. A. Zinsou, togolese. Comparison that will enable us to point out the analogy and the dissimilarity in their visions and aldo in the way they try and use theatre to solve some current social issues. Their plays seem mainly caracterised by two antithetical visions : pessimim and optimism. Their evocation of social reality and their picture of contemporary norms ans conventions is couched in pesssimistic tones. On the other hand, optimism appears in their projection towards the future. They appeal to their compatriots to rally together to build their nation. Osofisan proposes a socialist system. Zinsou recommends the re-establishment of a traditional social set up

Full textWhen addressing the global HIV/AIDS pandemic, it is necessary to identify risk factors which are shared by populations, as well as those which may place populations uniquely at risk. Although Canada is a developed country, its Aboriginal population shares socio-economic characteristics with the world's developing populations. This thesis explores the shared risk factors among the Aboriginal population in Canada, where the HIV/AIDS epidemic is increasing despite relatively low national prevalence rates, and South Africa's African population, where the HIV/AIDS epidemic is particularly acute. The present analysis compares the profile of the African South African HIV/AIDS epidemic with risk factors that also occur among Aboriginal people. The results of this analysis show that the Aboriginal population has an epidemic risk profile that is similar to that of African South Africans. This points to the potential for a rapid increase of HIV/AIDS among Aboriginal people, as has been the case in the African South African population over the past two decades.

Full textThe thesis raises a series of philosophical, sociological, aesthetic & literary questions. It comprises six chapters, the first of which is like a preliminary explanation based on the time-space framework of African literature & highlighting elements of chronology, language, regionality, nationality & tribality. Chapter 2 opens up broad avenues of black Africa’s social history. Chapter 3 deals with purely documentary but also ideological aspects of a corpus covering a minimum of nearly 50 & a maximum of 120-odd titles of African novels written in English. The last 3 chapters are complementary to the first 3, just as form and content in social sciences are one. Chapter 4 therefore deals with forms as well as it accounts for data & conditions whereby the novel adapts itself to negro-African realities. Chapter 5 revisits chapter 4 and places into proper perspective the issue of origins as it relates to the main influences that are brought to bear on the negro-African novel as a result of the 20th century aesthetic revolution, characterized primarily in Europe, but also in Africa, by a shift in the relationship of the individual man to the world towards the achievement of artistic completeness

Full textTrying to discover the identity of a society’s members means eliciting what defines them, i.e. the numerous realities to which they belong and which they express. In other words, it means claiming the pluralistic character of identity, defined by physical, cultural, social and historical features. This thesis aims at giving an insight into the tuareg society, observed from within, through fundamental features defining its specificity, conceived as inalienable properties. Among the numerous identifying features I have selected for description are those that seem to me most relevant in tuareg identity formation while not losing sight of the others features. The thesis therefore includes the major life dimensions of tuareg society, considering their specificity and complementariness, i.e. their interactive and bound characteristics, such as history and culture, social anthropology and linguistic expression. The tuareg society is part of the Berber-speaking world, mostly located in Northern Africa, and lies on the fringe of the Sahara desert, west Africa and the Sahel. These Sahel-based tuareg communities, the most populous ones, are in contact with Western and Northern African populations. This specific situation accounts for identity claims that stem from the loss of the society’s internal coherence due to borrowings of innovative cultural features that have not yet been totally digested. This method, which aims at combining the inside and outside analysis, leads me to explain and connnect the aspects that I feel are fundamental

After the identification of some key ideas in each of the texts, some considerations are made in relation to possible common points despite the many expected differences derived from the three writers’ life experiences.

Full textReverend father aupiais (1877-1945) from the society of african missions in lyon lived for 23 years in dahomey (1903-1926). The interest he showed in the local population that he wanted to convert was a break away from the usual practices of the vast majority of his predecessors. Our thesis aims at exploring the thought and work of the father and ascertaining the way they concur with the ideology of "africanism" as first elaborated by maurice delafosse who was aupiais's spiritual guide. He gathered a collection of objects d'art which were exhibited when he returned to france in 1926. Then he passionately followed marcel mauss's "learned teachings" at the institute of ethnology in order to gain a scientific method but he soon departed from it, judging it "inordinately sociological". He then became more involved with the group of missionaries who, in louvain, recommended the necessity of a new apostolitic approach of the native people, a "missiologie" enlightened by ethnological data. In 1929-1930, for the sake of albert kahn, he made two films, "le dahomey chretien" and "le dahomey religieux", as well as a series of magnificent "autochromes" (colour films). Thanks to our thesis, those documents have been restored. Futhermore, our thesis sets out to analyse the significance as well as the historical and ethnographical interest of the most pertinent scenes from the two films. As far as the "autochromes" are concerned - they have been selected and reproduced in the thesis itself - their contents has systematically been explored. Moreover, whenever necessary, the reproduction of photograms (picture pauses) has been included in order to highlight the ethnographical approach. Aupiais was also the untiring supporter of an african ethnology originated from the local people themselves, an "africanisme du dedans" (africanism from within). In 1925, he launched the modest journal, "la reconnaissance africaine", and promoted the work of paul hazoume, the first dahomean writer, considered by aupiais as his spiritual son. A militant of social catholicism, between 1927 and 1931, he courageously became involved and actively denunciated forced labour in the colonies, which caused him a great many setbacks within his own society of missionaries and which was to bring about his exile, directed by his superiors, to a small apostolic school in the landes region

Full textThis research results from a fieldwork carried out in Paris and the suburbs with marabous from west-Africa and their clients. In the two first parts, the different roles played by these people in Maghreb and in west-Africa are being studied with a conceptual and diachronically prospective. It is demonstrated that there is not a single pattern of a marabou; this approach entails that the Parisian marabous cannot be leveled with it. The third part considers the coming into France of marabous in the context of the west-African immigration. Describing the permanent features and the diversity of individual itineraries, the study focusses on the location of marabous in the Parisian space, on the legal framework of migration and activities and on the attempts to "professionalization". The forth part deals with the marabous’ knowledge and know-how. Emphasizing the diversity of the pathways followed by marabous and the various and enriching opportunities given by the Parisian environment as well as the multiple individual adjustments which derive from it, the study examines current practice and how they are experienced by clients : divinatory techniques in order to identify the origins of the problems, the "work" properly speaking (the making of peace’s of writing or lotions given to clients, repeated prayers said by the marabou, sacrificial practices). The fifth part is centered on the relationship between marabous and their clients, from all sorts of background and origin. It analyses the different roles played by marabous in Paris and the way they try to construct their legitimacy

Full textFor more than two decades, a number of African States within the scope of the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region have sunk into both armed intrastate and domestic conflicts. From the Rwandan genocide to civil wars in Congo-Brazzaville, Angola, Uganda, and Burundi, or the constantly armed political violence in the Central African Republic (CAR), through the Great African War in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), numerous and important mechanisms for conflict resolution have been experienced, bilateral, communitarian, regional, as well as Onusian. Unfortunately, the concepts relative to the end of crisis and post-conflict reconstruction still remain empty words, given the revivals and extensions of conflicts in that Region. Thus, by mobilizing the neo-elitist approach which goes the empirical reality, after reviewing all the major elitist philosophical, political and sociological theories defended by the classical authors such as Wilfredo Pareto, Gaetano Mosca, etc. On one hand, and by resorting to Johan Galtung’s theory on negative peace versus positive peace, on the other, this dissertation aims at highlighting the role played by governing Elites in the peace process within the Region. After defining these elites, this monography shows the difficulties of solving conflicts due to the regional sociodemographic heterogeneity. Then, it emphasizes mechanisms for keeping negative peace by the governing Elites, in interaction with other protagonists

Full textDo developping countries have a particular interpretation of the concept of nationality of enterprises? The answer to this question demands that one reflects on whether or not the requirements of development impose a criteria of nationality which differs from that of industrialized countries. In fact the economic needs of young nations favous the emergence of economic control as a principle defining nationality in these societies to the detriment of juridical attachment. This criteria which has a universalist and unitarian objective implies the adoption of a concept of nationality which claims to be economic and homogenous. The advantage of this economic option is that only enterprises which contribute directly and effectively to nation building are described as being national. Consequently, nationality is considered as a privileged attachment of enterprise to the state
