Com as conversas e narrativas dos sujeitos da pesquisa, alunos(as), professores(as), congueiros(as), pais de alunos e outros representantes da comunidade escolar, problematizamos e mapeamos esses saberesfazeres socioambientais, bem como compreendemos suas diferentes traduções. Os cotidianos escolares são considerados espaços de burla às hierarquizações culturais, ambientais, sociais e curriculares, por serem espaços privilegiados de práticas curriculares que vão além das propostas instituídas, e enfatizamos como o entorno da escola com suas especificidades locais se constituem potências para a produção de saberes e a criação de currículos cotidianamente. As oficinas de congo que acontecem na Escola Municipal da Barra do Jucu foram acompanhadas e mostraram-se potentes para o desenvolvimento da Educação Ambiental numa perspectiva pós-colonial, que acredita na possibilidade de um pensamento que vá além da relação dicotômica cultura/natureza e da não homogeneização cultural. As produções culturais desenvolvidas nas oficinas possibilitaram outras alternativas para a produção de subjetividades e para trocas de saberes socioambientais e culturais, baseados na solidariedade que potencializa práticas sociais sustentáveis.

La recherche des bois aux propriétés désirées soumet les forêts du bassin du Congo (BC) à une exploitation sélective. La pratique dans le BC est d’utiliser la possibilité et la rotation comme paramètres déterminants de la gestion durable. Cette exploitation se fait avec pour hypothèse que le respect des règles de gestion garantit le maintien en bon état de ces espaces forestiers. L’Okan est une espèce commerciale de bois à haute valeur, endémique des forêts du BC. Il s’agit de la seule espèce du genre Cylicodiscus. Il y a quelques années, l’espèce était peu connue des marchés du bois. L’objectif général de l’étude a été de contribuer à l’aménagement de l’Okan. Cette contribution est reflétée par de meilleures connaissances sur : (i) le prélèvement et (ii) la reconstitution du potentiel ligneux de l’espèce. Le prélèvement a porté sur l’estimation des volumes de bois bruts et commerciaux. La reconstitution a fait l’objet d’intérêt à travers la régénération naturelle au pied de ses semenciers, d’une part et dans ses trouées d’autre part. Des tiges d’Okan ont été mesurées pour produire des tarifs de cubage et des inventaires de régénération ont été effectués au pied des semenciers d’Okan et dans ses trouées. Les résultats sont les suivants : 1) Les tarifs de cubage utilisés au Cameroun pour l’Okan devraient être révisés et complétés. Les tarifs à deux et trois entrées [V=f(DHP, H)], [V=f(DHP, Dx)], [V=f(DHP, H, Dx)] ont de meilleurs R², AIC et RSE que ceux à une entrée. Ces tarifs fournissent un gain de précision même lorsque les méthodes et instruments utilisés sont sujets à des erreurs de mesure, normalement distribuées, de la longueur du fût (écart type ≤ 1,8 m) et du deuxième diamètre (écart type ≤ 3,25 cm). 2) La modélisation de la proportion des rebuts, bien qu’aboutissant à un faible R², est mieux décrite en considérant la longueur du fût et la classe de qualité. En plus de la possibilité d’utiliser des paramètres quantitatifs mesurés sur les fûts, les volumes commerciaux d’Okan sont estimés par : (i) la proportion des rebuts, (ii) l’utilisation d’un classement de qualité (ONADEF, 1992) et (iii) la mesure des longueurs commerciales des fûts. Ces équations peuvent améliorer les estimations des volumes commerciaux de bois d’Okan dans la zone étudiée. / 3) Des densités de 5,5 et 2,3 Okan par hectare ont été dénombrées respectivement pour les plantules et la régénération acquise sous le couvert de semenciers d’Okan. La probabilité d’observer des plantules d’Okan est significativement influencée par la distance et son interaction avec l’azimut (par rapport au semencier) (p<0,0001 et p=0,0151), la surface terrière des végétaux autres que les héliophiles (sous-bois) (p=0,0150) et marginalement par la hauteur du semencier (p=0,061). Seules la distance (p < 0,0032) et la hauteur du semencier (p = 0,0416) influencent significativement la probabilité d’observer la régénération acquise. 4) Dans les trouées d’Okan, 74,9% des espèces arborées dénombrées appartiennent au groupe des espèces pionnières, 15% aux héliophiles, 9,3% aux sciaphiles et 0,8% à des groupes indéterminés. L’Okan compte pour moins de 0,03% du total de tiges inventoriées dans ses trouées (soit 6,1 Okan par hectare) et aucune nouvelle régénération d’Okan n’a été observée depuis la coupe. Les variables qui contribuent à expliquer de manière statistiquement significative la probabilité qu’une espèce située en bordure des trouées soit également retrouvée dans la régénération dénombrée à l’intérieur de celles-ci sont son tempérament (p = 6,6e-06), sa fréquence en bordure (p = 0,001) et son mode de dissémination (p = 0,01). Les observations effectuées sous le couvert de ses semenciers et dans les trouées classent l’espèce comme semi-héliophile. La rareté de l’Okan dans ses trouées s’explique, entre autres, par son tempérament, son mode de dissémination (anémochore) et le manque de semenciers aux abords des trouées. En définitive, l’aménagement durable de l’Okan passe d’une part par une révision de ses tarifs de cubage au bois brut et par l’élaboration des tarifs de cubage au bois commercial. D’autre part, des variables expliquant la présence de l’espèce au pied des semenciers et dans les trouées ont été identifiées mais c’est surtout la faible densité de la régénération de l’Okan qui devrait orienter les actions des gestionnaires forestiers. Ces résultats peuvent améliorer la gestion de l’Okan dans les « forêts permanentes ». / 3) Densities of 5.5 and 2.3 Okan per hectare were recorded for seedlings and established regeneration under the cover of Okan seed trees respectively. The probability of observing Okan seedlings is significantly influenced by distance and its interaction with direction (from the seed tree) (p < 0.0001 and p = 0.0151), basal area of plants (p = 0.0150) other than heliophilous (undergrowth) and marginally by the height of the seed tree (p = 0.061). Only the distance (p <0.0032) and the height of the seed tree (p = 0.0416) significantly influence the probability of observing established regeneration. 4) In the Okan gaps, 74.9% of tree species belong to the group of pioneer species, 15% to heliophilous, 9.3% to sciaphilous and 0.8% to indeterminate groups. Okan accounts for less than 0.03% of the total number of stems counted in its gaps (corresponding to 6.1 Okan per hectare) and no new Okan regeneration has been observed since its felling. Variables that contribute to a statistically significant explanation of the probability that a species located at the edge of the inventoried gaps is also found in the regeneration enumerated within are the guild of the species (p = 6.6e-06), its border frequency (p = 0.001) and its mode of dissemination (p = 0.01). Observations made under the cover of its seed trees and in the gaps classify the species as semi-heliophilous. The rarity of the Okan in its gaps is explained amongst other things by the guild of the species, its mode of dissemination (anemochore) and the lack of seed trees around the gaps. Finally, the achievement of Okan’s sustainable management requires on one hand a revision of its volume equations for gross volume estimates and the elaboration of volume equation to estimate its commercial timber. On the other hand, variables explaining the presence of the species at the foot of the seed trees and in the gaps have been identified but it is the low density of Okan regeneration that should guide the actions of forest managers. These results can improve the management of Okan and other species in permanent forests. / The search for wood with desired properties submits the Congo Basin (CB) forests to a selective logging. The practice in the CB is to use the possibility and rotation as key determinants of sustainable management. The hypothesis of this logging is that, the respect of the rules of management guarantees the maintenance in good state of these forest areas. Okan is a commercial timber species of high value, endemic to the CB forest. It is the only species of the genus Cylicodiscus. A few years ago, the species was not well known in the timber market. The main objective of this study was to contribute to the sustainable management of Okan. This contribution is reflected by a better understanding of: (i) wood harvesting and (ii) the reconstitution of the woody potential. Wood harvesting was based on the estimation of gross and commercial volumes. The reconstitution was the subject of interest through the natural regeneration at the foot of the seed trees on the one hand, and in gaps on the other. Okan stems were measured to produce volume equations and inventories were carried out at the foot of the seed trees of Okan and in the gaps of the species. The following results were obtained: 1) The volume equations used in Cameroon for Okan should be revised and completed. Volume equations with two and three entries [V = f (DBH, H)], [V = F (DBH, Dx)], [V = F (DBH, H, Dx)] have better R², AIC, and RSE than those with a single entry. These estimates provide a gain of precision even when the methodology and instruments used are subject to measurement errors, normally distributed, to the length of the stem (standard deviation ≤1.8 m) and of the second diameter (standard deviation ≤ 3.25 cm). 2) The modeling of the proportion of rejects, although resulting in a low R², is better described by considering the length of the stem and quality grade. In addition to the possibility of using quantitative parameters measured on stems, Okan’s commercial volumes are estimated by the: (i) proportion of rejects, (ii) use of a quality grade (ONADEF, 1992) and (iii) measurement of commercial length of stems. These equations can contribute to improve the estimation of commercial volumes of Okan wood in the study area.

The culture confrontation remains the central theme throughout this book, with special emphasis given to points of conflict. My approach to each particular era has been guided by the question: What were the areas of incompatibility or conflict between African and European culture in the Lower Congo? By focusing my analysis on the dynamics of this confrontation, the point of contact between Congolese and Europeans, I have marked that the purpose of this study is not to present a characterization of Congolese or African culture as separate entities. Its aim has been to analyse the essential features of the confrontation between the two cultures. The book's subtitle indicates that my study of the Lower Congo of the eighteen-eighties and nineties confines itself to the relationship between Congolese and Swedes, specifically the Swedish missionaries. This makes it possible to avoid repetition, since Slade's studies, together with David Lagergren's book Mission and State in the Congo, which was published in 1970, provide adequate coverage of the English-speaking Protestant missionaries, who with their Swedish counterparts played the principal role in the culture confrontation which took place in the region between the Atlantic and Stanley Pool at that period.

This dissertation investigates the instantiation of prosodic constituents, from the level of the prosodic word to the mora, in several Benue-Congo languages spoken in Nigeria, Togo, and the Republic of Benin. The over-all analysis is couched within Optimality Theory (Prince and Smolensky 1993, P&S) which states that phonological constraints are hierarchically ranked and violable. The cross-dialectal and cross-linguistic diversities exhibited in the languages discussed are shown to be a consequence of different constraint rankings. The observed variations and their respective analyses can be summarized as follows. First, only a subset of the total segmental inventory is moraic in all the languages examined. In some dialects of Yoruba (Ilaje), only vowels are tone-bearing and potential syllable peaks; in other dialects (Standard Yoruba and Onko), both vowels and nasals are tone-bearing, but only vowels may occupy the nucleus position in the syllable. In Idoma, vowels, liquids and nasals are tone-bearing, but only vowels and liquids are potential syllable peaks, nasals are excluded. These diversities are shown to follow from the different cut-off points established for non-nuclear moras as opposed to nuclear moras on the sonority hierarchy. Second, it is observed that vowels differ in their syllabicity capabilities depending on whether they are preceded by onsets or not. In Standard Yoruba, Owon-Afa, and Gokana, vowels are syllabified if onsets precede them; onsetless vowels are not syllabified. In Ondo Yoruba and Emai, vowels are syllabified regardless of whether they have onsets or not. The variation in the syllabification pattern is shown to follow from the variable ranking of ONSET and other syllable structure well-formedness constraints such as PARSENUCμ or PARSEμ. Third, the properties of foot structure found in the non-stress tone languages examined are reminiscent of the properties associated with the metrical foot. In Yoruba, Ibibio and Owon-Afa, feet are binary and headed. Ibibio utilizes trochaic feet while Owon-Afa and Yoruba use iambic feet. This finding confirms the proposal that non-stress processes utilize the metrical foot (M&P 1986, Inklelas 1989, Spring 1991, Downing 1994). Fourth, prosodic minimality and maximality effects are observed at the level of the prosodic word. Two patterns of minimality effects are found. In languages like Idoma and Gokana, the minimal prosodic word is a binary foot, while in languages like Yoruba and Ebira, the minimal condition requires the presence of a syllable in every word. Foot binarity effects are only required of specific lexical classes, like nouns, in both languages. The minimal syllable requirement is proposed to follow from properheadedness, and the diversities found in the spellout of prosodic minimally derived by the variable ranking of Foot Binarity and Properheadedness. The emergence of unmarked words in child phonology in English, Dutch and Yoruba is cited as evidence in support of this view of minimality: children start with CV words and then move on to the CVCV stage. These two stages are proposed to follow from Properheadedness and Foot Binarity assuming the “Continuity Hypothesis” which states that language acquisition is made up of a series of continuous stages determined by Universal Grammar (Pinker 1984). Concerning prosodic maximally, it is observed that the maximal instantiation of the prosodic word is two feet. This property is proposed to follow from the principle of binarity which limits the unmarked shape of phonological constituents to two tokens of a given phonological unit (Ito & Mester 1992).
