Full textThe objective of this study is to analyze in anthropo-ethnological perspective on the practices related to sickness and death on the Abomey plateau. Our study is part of a multidisciplinary approach, history, ethno-archeology and social anthropology. This this is to trace the management of the rituals of the deposit and life with life, the face of life, the life of the post mortem life to the deceased and the ancestors, etc.). It is also interested in the death caused (directed murders, sacrifices, etc.) and its management (objectives, processes, consequences and possible justifications from a religious point of view, etc.).This is also about this medical school of the voodooing on the health and care practices for Come to Come. A study of medical anthropology is also presented to analyze life habits on the Abomey Plateau through a sample of the population. We are also on the cohabitation between traditional medicine and modern medicine in this geographical area

Full textCorn is a cereal that has been domesticated in Mesoamerica. This domestication has enabled social groups to develop a sedentary lifestyle that has favored the concentration of individuals in villages, allowing them to develop other aspects of community life. Later, with trade expansion travels, Europeans discovered that some american plants could be exploited in their new colonies. This triggered the migration of many plants. Corn, which was an easy-to-grow crop with a great ability to adapt to weather conditions and easy to transport, after spreading throughout America, continued its journey to the rest of the world. On this basis we tried to understand how maize was introduced into the Gulf of Guinea and more precisely into the ancient Dahomey. Nowadays, in southern Benin, maize has replaced millet and sorghum. Maize is the most produced and consumed cereal in the south of the country. It also plays a significant role in the religious life within voodoo practices. The work we undertook to understand the uses and representations of maize by the Fon and Xweda ethnic groups allowed us to approach the voodoo community of Ouidah, former slave port, where we conducted eight years research work. The results of this work enabled us to structure our knowledge of voodoo religion and to highlight the heritage that the people of Ouidah have built around corn at the culinary level as well as at the symbolic level
Beaujean, Gaëlle. "L’ Art de cour d’Abomey : le sens des objets." Paris, EHESS, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015EHES0666.
Full textDesigned as anthropology of the object, this thesis addresses the royal artifacts of Abomey, ancient capital of the pre-colonial kingdom of Dahomey (current day Benin). First the role of this art at court will be considered within the political, religious and social contexts of the period from 1625 to 1890. Here the military organization of Dahomey will also be central. In the eighteenth century the kingdom seized the port of Ouidah where the European slave trade to America was already established. Purveyor of prisoners and agricultural resources, the king instituted a system of exchanges and visits to court for these trading partners. The impact these contacts left on the royal court will therefore be explored. Oral, written and iconographic sources from regalia to the vaudou images will form the first body of objects from the court. Travel literature also reveals what impressions the exhibition of this royal art made on an uninitiated public. On the partition of Africa after the Berlin Conference of 1885, France declared war on the kingdom that it then conquered in 1894. The French military then seized the collection of royal objects from their own command between 1892 and 1894. This war booty supplemented by pre-colonial royal gifts, collections of the 1930s and the art still present in the court of Abomey will compose a second group of objects under study. The transformations of use, value and place of these objects since the fall of the kingdom to the present day will then be analyzed. In museums or in private collections around the world, this research identifies the value systems and the multiple meanings of this court art from conception to its current location
Poda, Mélaine Bertrand. "Aménagement urbain durable, vodoun et lieux de mémoire." Pau, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011PAUU1005.
Full textThe objective of this thesis is to examine the links between the tangible and intangible heritage for their integration into urban planning and sustainable management of territories. It therefore proposes a clarification of the concept which allows to show its extensibility. The concept of heritage has undergone several changes, to such an extend that it has become today "nomad" as written by Françoise Choay precisely in her work entitled "The Allegory of Heritage". At the time of sustainable development, man or modern subject, who maintains an intrinsic connection to his place of life, should be the main actor in heritage selection and all its varied forms. The case of Voodoo religion in Benin practised by over 75% of the population, and which has also largely allowed the structuring of memorial sites related to trafficking and slavery is very illustrative for our study. Starting with field observations and survey results, statistically analyzed by univariate, bivariate and multivariate methods (AFCs), we identified in current planning, the traces of these places of memory, we profiled the inhabitants depending on this places and we analyzed their position in relation to present heritage elements. The results obtained allow a better understanding of heritage in terms of research in the Human and Social sciences as well as better integration of these projects in urban plannings and sustainable urban development today

Full textMami Wata, a divinity widely known on the African continent, has been the subject of several articles, books and films that present her in a variety of figures. Art historians, in particular, have sought for her origins in depictions of sirens and mermaids. Many authors have drawn on each other’s writings, thus creating a body of Mami Wata literature. Others, mostly anthropologists, have tried to understand the Mami Wata phenomenon by asking, “Why do individuals resort to this belief?” Instead of building an archetype, they have tried to show how the divinity is instantiated in different contexts. Adopting this perspective, this dissertation, written after a decade of fieldwork in southern Benin, analyzes the idiosyncratic procedure whereby the Master of Mami Wata constructs the divinity’s ritual. His manipulations of rites are intended to allow the divinity to be instantiated locally as an inference added onto a pre-existing conceptual framework. A comparison of this procedure with other approaches to ritual practices related to Mami Wata in several localities in this region, in particular, with the practices related to initiation and with the idea of a matrimonial alliance with a Voodoo divinity, shows how the action of a “biographical individual” can infuse a movement that eventually leads to changes in religious forms. Mami Wata, an “instance of representation”, turns out to be a specular being, the reflection of a lost identity, a baroque mirror for “reinventing concord between the individual and the world”

Full textThis thesis is aimed to deal with the sociology of expertise in the african mask cultural mediation. In Benin country, it is observable that museums and performing arts do not exhibit certain categories of masks including égoungoun and abikou, while they show some others, zangbéto and guèlèdè in this case. This arouses attention, insomuch as in Porto-Novo, a city where a plurality of masks’ sanctuaries is noticed, the ethnographic museum paradoxically uses drawings to present the égoungoun and the zangbéto which on the other hand, are physically seen in exhibitions in western countries. These masks belong to two large cultural areas (adja-tado and yorouba-nago) densely present in three west african countries : Benin, Nigeria and Togo. This geographic area, but especially southern and central Benin will serve as framework for our study. It attempts to understand the sociological constraints unfavorable to some forms of mask exposure in beninese territory and whether the concerned populations can adopt a noetic openness approach and dialogue with other cultures. By doing field surveys with varied public made up of intellectuals, dignitaries of mask societies, political and adminitrative officials, religious authorities, cultural mediators, ritual traditions insiders and ordinary people that we deem, representative of the population to reveal the true faces of current popular beliefs, we hope we’ll provide social sciences with a first definition and classification of means to popularize the african mask, in a globalizing world cultural environment
Forte, Jung Ran. "Chevauchés par les dieux : Initiations des Occidentaux aux cultes Vodun béninois : pratiques culturelles et trajectoires identitaires." Paris, EHESS, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007EHES0282.
Full textThis thesis examines the transformations experienced by the Vodun religion in the last decade, taking as a starting point the analysis of a singular phenomenon: the inclusion of Westerns in Beninese circuits of religious practice. Examining the initiatory paths of Europeans in Benin, the study addresses broader questions on the reproduction and change of a religious system. While identifying a peculiar dynamic of reproduction of such cults and drawing the major features and configurations of contemporary Vodun, the thesis questions how the religious experience is constructed, both individually and collectively. Describing spiritual journeys of Westerns who initiate themselves to the cults, this work shows how new cultural products and innovative subjectivities are fabricated in encounters of “foreigners” with Vodun worlds. The case of Westerns initiation rituals questions directly the “globalization of religious experience” and how new cultural identity are formed in such contexts
