Cette thèse traite, d’un point de vue interculturel, de la construction de l’identité à l’adolescence dans une Afrique en mutation. À partir d’une enquête sur le rapport psychisme/culture et l’étude des effets de l’intrication des cultures africaine et occidentale, nous avons dans ce travail démontré que la représentation de soi de l’adolescent Camerounais se trouve modifiée, car désormais coupée du référent fondateur. Par l’enculturation, la famille africaine élargie avait entre autres pour fonction d’accompagner l’adolescent à l’âge adulte en lui conférant une place, une identité. La culture, dans ce rôle de tiers, régulatrice de l’attachement, de la séparation et de la jouissance dans l’interaction fantasmatique entre l’adolescent et sa famille, et même entre l’adolescent et son environnement est sous-tendu par le référent fondateur ; c’est-à-dire par la croyance en un père imaginaire, le père ancêtre. L’ignorance, le refus ou l’oubli du référent fondateur (rupture de transmission, auto engendrement) fait obstacle à la construction identitaire, laissant ainsi l’adolescent Camerounais dans l’impasse. Dans une perspective de culture humaine, nous avons conclu que la façon dont les mélanges de cultures prennent place dans une société en constante évolution, est à entendre comme une atteinte à l’identité subjective, dans la mesure où elle entrave la fonction du père ancêtre, produisant ainsi, à la fois des effets de rupture, d’impasse, mais aussi d’ouverture dans la structuration du sujet. Ces effets, inévitablement, impliquent l’émergence de nouvelles pathologies et donc de nouveaux modes de prise en charge dans la clinique des adolescents. / This thesis deals, from an intercultural point of view, with the construction of identity in adolescence in a changing Cameroon. Based on an investigation on the relationship between psyche and culture and the study of the effects of the entanglement of traditional African and Western cultures, we have demonstrated in this work that the self-representation of the adolescent Cameroonian is modified, because it is now disconnected from the founding referent. Through enculturation, the extended African family had among other functions, to guide the adolescent towards adulthood, by providing him shelter and an identity. Culture, acting as a third party role that controls attachment, separation and joy in the fantasmatic interaction between the adolescent and his family, and even between the adolescent and his environment, is underpinned by the founding referent, meaning by the belief in an imaginary father, the ancestral father. Ignoring, refusing to accept or forgetting the founding referent (due to a failure in transmission or self-generation) is an obstacle to the construction of identity, thus leading the Cameroonian adolescent to a dead end. From a human culture perspective, we have concluded that the way in which a cultural mix occurs within a constantly evolving society is to be understood as an attack on subjective identity, insofar as it hinders the function of the ancestral father thus producing both the effects of separation and deadlock, which also allows a new perspective on the structuring of the subject. These effects, inevitably, imply the emergence of new pathologies and thus new modes of management in the adolescent clinic.

With the theoretical fundaments of the Analytical Psychology by Carl Gustav Jung, the religious movement known as Mucker is brought back into consideration. This was a curious episode, considered to be the only non-Pentecostal, protestant, milleniumistic messianic surge in Brazil, which happened in a very defined ethnic group, German immigrants. Furthermore, it was led by a woman, Jacobina Mentz Maurer. This historical fact occurred between 1873-1874, in the German colony of São Leopoldo, currently the city of Sapiranga, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, and it ended tragically with the death of almost all of its members by the Imperial Army Battalion. We find indicators that Jacobina's religious deliriums allowed her and the Mucker group to form a method of psychic structuring in the midst of social, cultural and religious chaos, in which those colonial immigrants lived. / Este projeto teve como objetivo estudar os delírios religiosos e investigar como poderiam exercer uma função psíquica estruturante, tanto para a psique individual, quanto para a coletiva. De posse dos fundamentos teóricos da Psicologia Analítica de Carl Gustav Jung, realizamos a releitura de um movimento religioso conhecido como Mucker. Esse foi um curioso episódio considerado como o único surto messiânico-milenarista protestante não pentecostal no Brasil e aconteceu num grupo étnico bem definido, isto é, de imigrantes alemães. Além disso, foi liderado por uma mulher, Jacobina Mentz Maurer. Este fato histórico ocorreu entre 1873-1874, no Rio Grande do Sul, na Colônia Alemã de São Leopoldo, na atual cidade de Sapiranga, e teve final trágico, pois quase todos os seus participantes foram mortos pelo Batalhão do Exército Imperial. Encontramos indicadores de que os delírios religiosos de Jacobina possibilitaram a ela e ao grupo Mucker um meio de estruturação psíquica frente a uma situação de caos social, cultural e religioso em que viviam aqueles colonos imigrantes.
