The Royal Palace of Dahomey: symbol of a transforming nation

Larsen, Lynne Ann Ellsworth 01 December 2014 (has links)
The Royal Palace of Dahomey, which stands in varied states of decay and restoration in Abomey, Benin, has been subject to change and manipulation throughout its history (c. 1645-present). This dissertation focuses on its transformations during the French colonial and post-colonial periods and investigates how the palace functions as a site for religious ceremonies, a center for political struggle, and a symbol of non-European identity. It documents what physical transformations the palace complex underwent in relation to its changing roles, explores the ethics of external political forces, and investigates what influence the palace and royal history have had on contemporary identity and domestic architecture.

Tambor de crioula et tambor de mina, expressions musicales rituelles afro-descendantes de São Luis do Maranhão (Brésil) : créolité, identité, "culture de résistance" / Tambor de crioula and tambor de mina, afro-descendant ritualized musical expressions of São Luís do Maranhão (Brazil) : creolity, identity, “counterculture”

Cousin, Marie 28 June 2013 (has links)
Cette thèse de doctorat a pour l’objet l’approche ethnomusicologique de deux expressions afro-descendantes du Maranhão (Brésil) : le tambor de crioula et le tambor de mina, réalisées en l’honneur de São Benedito et des voduns, orixás et encantados. L’analyse du matériau musical et chorégraphique servira de base à la mise en lumière des relations entretenues par ces deux rituels avec les problématiques de la construction des identités (créolisation), de l’élaboration d’un patrimoine musical national (programme brésilien du patrimoine immatériel) et de mémoire des esclavages (réappropriation de l’histoire et de la mémoire, liberté de pratiquer des rituels autrefois interdits et stigmatisés). Le tambor de crioula et le tambor de mina, expressions pluri-identitaires et polysémiques, puisant dans un héritage africain bantou et mina jeje-nagô, permettent de canaliser les identifications et servent de référents culturels et imaginaires. Cependant, le processus de patrimonialisation va induire des phénomènes de transformation : perte du sens symbolique lors de la pratique hors-rituel, raccourcissement de la durée des moments musico-chorégraphiques, abandon de l’improvisation, uniformisation des tenues vestimentaires et des esthétiques (miroir de l’identité), remise en question de la transmission maître/disciple par le programme de patrimonialisation. Face à ces transformations, les acteurs sociaux apportent dynamisme, créativité et renouveau dans les répertoires musicaux, vocaux et chorégraphiques, instituant la personnalité, l’individualité, son expression et son développement, au centre des rituels. / This Ph. D. thesis has for the object the ethnomusicologic approach of two afro-descendant expressions of the Maranhão (Brazil): tambor de crioula and tambor de mina, realized in honour of São Benedito and voduns, orixás and encantados. The analysis of the musical and choreographic material will be of use as basis to the enlightening of the relations maintained by these two rites with the problems of the construction of the identities (creolisation), the elaboration of a national musical heritage (Brazilian program of the intangible heritage) and of memory of the slaveries (reappropriation of the history and the memory, the liberation of rites formerly forbidden and stigmatized in the past). tambor de crioula and tambor de mina, pluri-identical and polysemous expressions, drawing from an African Bantu and mina jeje-Nagô inheritance, canalizing the identifications and serving as cultural and imaginary referent. However, the process of national intangible heritage is going to infer phenomena of transformation: loss of the symbolic sense and semiotic during the practice outside of the ritual practice, shortening of the duration of musico-choreographic moments, loss of the improvisation, standardization of esthetics (mirror of the identity), loss of the traditional transmission process master / follower. In front of these transformations, the social players bring dynamism, creativity and revival in the musical, vocal and choreographic directories, establishing the personality, the individuality, its expression and its development, in the center of the rites.

Religião além da vida : estudo comparativo de práticas religiosas entre os Vodunsi do litoral sudeste do Benin, na África subsaariana, e o Batuque do Rio Grande do Sul, no Brasil

Abiou, Sèna Annick Laetitia January 2016 (has links)
O Vodum não revela, em princípio, nenhum conceito de metafísica ou transcendência, todavia propõe uma perspectiva que religa os mundos dos “vivos”, considerados ao mesmo tempo materiais e espirituais: o “aqui” e o “além”. O que é considerado o “aqui” não está separado do "além". Nesta relação, o “aqui” e o “além” são apenas pontos de vista diferentes, constituindo pontos de vista de espécies de vida diferentes. Os humanos formam, com os ancestrais e os vodum, uma relação em que a vida nunca desencarna. Ventos, mares, plantas, etc., são os outros humanos nos quais os vodunons reconhecem e veneram por vezes a inteligência e a vontade humana de um ancestral ou vodum. O Batuque também cultua os orixás, oriundos de vários países de África, cujas forças estão na natureza, nos rios, nas cachoeiras, matas etc., onde são invocadas as energias dos orixás. O Vodum e o Batuque, duas religiões, a priori, afastadas no tempo e no espaço, teriam a mesma perspectiva de mundo? Este trabalho traz uma reflexão sobre o estudo comparativo das práticas religiosas entre o Vodum no Benim e o Batuque no Brasil. Abordamos a análise da questão fundamental do princípio da vida que apresenta outra dimensão de tempo-espaço. Pesquisas realizadas nas cidades beninenses de Ouidah e Cotonou e no estado brasileiro do Rio Grande do Sul descreveram as práticas religiosas como uma busca de sentido que germina certa perspectiva de mundo. Tratou-se também de descrever, a partir de ritos e relatos, as religiões, tais como se apresentam. Além disso, elaborou-se] o esboço de uma reflexão sobre questões periféricas como a afiliação, a iniciação e a integração religiosa. Este conjunto de dados possibilitou uma descrição das relações entre animismo e naturalismo para uma ecologia da religião. / In theory, Vodun does not reveal any metaphysical or transcendental concepts; rather, it proposes a perspective that reconnects the worlds of the living who are simultaneously material and spiritual in the “here” and “beyond”. What is considered “here” is not separated from the “beyond”. In this relationship, “here” and “beyond” are merely different points of view; points of view from different types of life. Together with their ancestors and Vodun, humans form a relationship in which life never disembodies. In the winds, seas, plants and other natural elements, vodun practitioners recognize and venerate the intelligence or human will of an ancestor or Vodun. Batuque practitioners also worship the orixás, entities which originated in diverse African countries and whose force similarly lies in elements of nature, such as rivers, waterfalls and woods. It is from these elements that their energies are invoked. Our question is: do Vodum and Batuque, two religions which, a priori, exist separetely in time and space, have the same world perspective? This work is a comparative study between the religious practices of Vodum in Benin and Batuque in Brazil. We address the fundamental question of the principle of life which, in turn, presents another dimension in space and time. Research that was carried out in the cities of Ouidah and Contonou and in the state of Rio Grande do Sul has brought to light a search for meaning which, through religious practices, generates a specific world perspective. We also describe the presentation of these religions, based on rites and reports. Additionally, we have provided a background sketch of peripheral questions such as affiliation, initiation and religious integration. With a view towards a religious ecology, this body of data has made it possible to describe relationships between animism and naturalism.
