Durante a década de 1960 essas fontes deixaram de receber atenção devido à história oral que despontava no ambiente acadêmico como forma de reescrever uma história africana que falasse por si. Mas, rapidamente na década de 1970 e 1980 a historiografia volta-se mais uma vez para esses registros na tentativa de recriar uma percepção sobre o passado. Desde então, o modelo interpretativo que prevaleceu consistia em limpar as poeiras do etnocentrismo dessas narrativas a fim de deixar mais nítidos os elementos históricos da fonte. Recentemente, porém, surgem outras vias de interpretação para os registros missionários considerando suas descrições sobre o “espírito volátil” dos africanos como sendo, no fundo, um sintoma da rigidez e plasticidade dos próprios sistemas cosmológicos centro-africanos. Estudamos as diferentes abordagens historiográficas buscando compreender como esses sucessivos modelos teórico-metodológicos competem por uma melhor descrição da alteridade africana. Ao mesmo tempo em que circunscrevemos as formas pelas quais são operados e construídos os saberes sobre África. _____________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / The historiography of Congo and Angola between sixteenth-eighteenth century often used the reports of missionaries who experienced on region in this period, especially the "traditional" history of the 1940s and 1950. Among the 1960s these sources don’t left received attention because of the to oral history that was rising in the academics studies as a way to rewrite an African history to speak for itself’s. But, in the 1970s and 1980s the historiography turns back, once more, to these records in an attempt to recreate a perception about the past. Since then, the interpretative model who prevailed has consisted in attempting to clean the dust of the ethnocentrism of these narratives in order to make clearer the historical elements of the source. Recently, however, rise other ways of interpretation the missionaries records considering his descriptions about the "volatile spirit" of Africans as being, in essence, a symptom of rigor and plasticity of the own cosmological systems in Central African systems.We have studied the different historiographical approaches trying to understand how these successive theoric-methodological models are competing for a better description of the African alterity. At the same time while we contain the roles in which they have controlled and built the knowledge about Africa.

The relation between verbal affixes and their effect on the predicate argument structure of the verbs that host them has been the focus of many studies in linguistics, with special reference to Bantu languages in recent years. Given the colonial policy on indigenous languages in Angola, Kikongo, as is the case of other Bantu languages in that country, has not been sufficiently studied. This study explores the form and function of six verbal affixes, including the order in which they occur in the verb stem. The study maintains that the applicative and causative are valency-increasing verbal affixes and, as such, give rise to double object constructions in Kikongo. The passive, reciprocal, reflexive and stative are valency-decreasing and, as such, they reduce the valency of the verb by one object. This study also suggests that Kikongo is a symmetrical object language in which both objects appear to have equal status. / African languages / M.A.

L’identité professionnelle des enseignant-e-s des deux Congo. Les enseignant-e-s du primaire et du secondaire des deux pays, le Congo-Brazzaville et le Congo-Kinshasa, ont traversé, ces quarante (40) dernières années, des difficultés socio- économiques et politiques qui ont affecté leur éthique professionnelle, les obligeant à remettre en cause leur identité professionnelle. Des analyses sur les contextes éducatifs, les actions professionnelles, les aspects socio-relationnels, organisationnels, institutionnels et non formels nous permettront : d’étudier le rôle joué par la formation initiale des enseignants, de situer les questions relatives aux financements des structures éducatives ainsi que l’efficacité desdits financements, de comprendre la désaffection généralisée et l’affaiblissement du statut social et économique de la fonction d’enseignant-e. Tout ceci permettra de mieux expliquer le caractère de vulnérabilité des enseignants actuels, et de justifier ce qu’est « le revêtement identitaire idéalisé » selon (Dubar, 2000 :165). L’analyse des résultats de 103 interviews biographiques avec des enseignant-e-s formé-e-s pendant 4 périodes différentes sont présentées et analysées. Les résultats indiquent qu’a chaque période correspond une identité professionnelle de base. Sur le plan social, les enseignants, qui se considèrent comme Sisyphe du 21ème siècle et kamikazes des temps modernes, disent vivre une « tempête, une panique et une débandade identitaires » . Une étude comparative montrera le degré d’intervention dans les deux capitales proches géographiquement, mais ayant des systèmes éducatifs divergents : le Congo-Brazzaville ayant hérité du système français, le Congo-Kinshasa ayant hérité du système Belge. La comparaison sera intra-pays et inter-pays, et concernera les formations initiale et professionnelle des deux pays afin d’interroger leurs systèmes nationaux et les éventuelles similarités ou différences identitaires. / The professional identity of teachers : Analysis of situations and comparison’s studies between the Congo-Brazzaville and the Congo-Kinshasa. During the last forty (40) years, teachers of both The Congo-Brazzaville and The Congo-Kinshasa have known social, economical and political problems which affected their professional ethic, forcing them to question themselves about their professional identity. Studies of the educational settings, professional actions, socio-relational, organisational, institutional and non formal aspects will enable us: to study the role of the teachers’ initial training, to assess the issues related to the funding of the educational structures together with its efficiency, to understand the generalized disaffection and the weakness of the social and economical position of the teacher’s duty. All these will enable a better explanation of the vulnerability of current teachers and justify the “idealized identity revetment” according to (Dubar.2000:165). The analysis of the outcomes of 103 biographic interviews conducted with teachers trained during 4 different periods revealed that each period corresponds to a basic professional identity.In the social context, teachers who consider themselves as Sisyphe of 21st century and the new kamikazes talk about an identity panic and scuttle. A comparative study will show the level of involvement in both cities geographically close to each other. The educational systems are different: the Congo-Brazzaville inherited the French system and The Congo-Kinshasa the Belgian one. The comparison will be intra-countries and inter-countries and will entail the initial and professional trainings of both countries in order to question their national systems and any eventual identity similarities or differences.

Première étude systématique de l?histoire théâtrale en République Démocratique du Congo, ce travail se situe sur le quadruple plan historique, littéraire, théâtral et ecclésiastique. Il est structuré en trois grandes parties encadrées par une introduction et une conclusion. En annexe se trouvent des notices biographiques concernant quelques acteurs et une liste des pièces de théâtre mentionnées. La première partie consiste en un inventaire organisé sur une base topologique. Les représentations théâtrales y sont recensées par localités situées dans huit subdivisions administratives du pays qui, comme ces dernières, sont classées alphabétiquement. A la fin de chaque section, un tableau statistique visualisé par un histogramme et assorti d'une note explicative en donne une vue synthétique. Cet inventaire est précédé d'une description des sources d'information essentiellement écrites que sont les journaux de l'époque. La deuxième partie fait la chronologie des actes théâtraux ayant eu lieu sur le sol congolais du 25 décembre 1905 au 30 juin 1960. Systématique et logique, la troisième partie tire quelques leçons. Elle traite successivement de la constitution du répertoire, d'un théâtre intellectuel divertissant la masse, de ses aspects religieux, éducatifs et sociaux, et enfin de son caractère formateur / First systematic study of the history of theatre in the Democratic Republic of Congo, this work positions itself within the quadruple historic, literary, theatrical and ecclesiastical plan. It is structured in three large parties framed my an introduction and a conclusion. Annexed are the biographical notes concerning some actors and a list of the mentioned theatrical pieces. With regard to its content, the first part consists of an inventory which is organized on a topological basis. The theatrical representations are reviewed by locality in the country's eight administrative sub-divisions, which are classified in alphabetical order. At the end of each section, a statistical matrix visualized by an histogram and accompanied by an explanatory note provides a synthetic view of the whole work. This inventory is preceded by a description of information written sources, i.e. the newspapers of the time. The second part presents a chronology of theatrical acts in Congo between 25 December 1905 and 30 June 1960. In a systematic and logical fashion, the third part deals successively with the constitution of the directory, an intellectual theatre aimed at entertaining the masses, its religious, educational and social aspects, and finally its formative character

Colour removal of dyes is still a challenge for textile industry wastewater treatment plants. Amongst the decolourisation methods, the anaerobic treatment has called attention for being economically attractive. This work reports two textile wastewater colour removal experiments. The first one aimed, primarily, to assess and compare colour removal of synthetic textile effluent, which contained the azo dye Congo Red (CR), in an one-stage anaerobic system, consisted of only a UASB reactor (R1), and in a two-stage anaerobic system (R2), consisted of an acidogenic (R2,A) followed by a methanogenic reactor (R2,M). The reactors were run under different operational conditions by varying the initial dye and electron donor (ethanol) concentrations as well as the hydraulic retention time (HRT) of the reactors. It was observed that, with gradual increase of CR concentration from 0.3 to 1.2 mM, R1 total average colour removal efficiency decreased from 97.8 to 95.1%, while R2 did not present remarkable variation, and R2,A was responsible for the major part of total decolourisation reached (98.5%). Concerning the initial ethanol concentration, a less than 2% drop was observed at R1 average efficiency against an almost 6% one at R2 by reducing the substrate concentration from 1.0 to only 0.2 g COD/L. And, by reducing the systems total HRT from 24 for 12 hours, the R1 and R2 average efficiencies changed from, approximately, 98% to 96.6 and 97.7%, respectively. Afterwards, those same systems were fed with real textile wastewater, and, although both have presented lower colour removal efficiencies than the ones achieved with CR, R1 reached a 7% average value higher than R2. The second experiment aimed to assess and compare the real textile wastewater colour removal in one-stage anaerobic systems (HRT = 12 h) supplemented or not with electron donor (ethanol) and redox mediator (AQDS). No difference was observed between decolourisation efficiency average values achieved by the reactor supplemented with AQDS (R3) and by the reactor free of this compound (R4). However, in the absence of ethanol, both reactors have presented lower colour removal efficiency values, the R3 reached a 5% average efficiency higher than R4 one. It can be concluded that the used anaerobic systems achieved good decolourisation efficiencies with both synthetic and real textile wastewaters under the different operational conditions studied. The redox mediator impact was not evident in the treatment of the real effluent at HRT of 12 hours, and the absence of an external electron donor reduced the reactors colour removal efficiency / O descarte de efluentes têxteis em águas superficiais representa um sério problema ambiental e de saúde pública devido, principalmente, à presença de corantes na sua composição, muitos dos quais são potencialmente tóxicos e carcinogênicos. A remoção de cor desses compostos ainda é uma das maiores dificuldades enfrentadas pelas estações de tratamento de efluentes das indústrias desse segmento. Dentre os métodos de descoloração, o tratamento anaeróbio tem merecido bastante destaque por ser economicamente atraente. Nesta pesquisa, foram realizados dois experimentos acerca da remoção de cor de corantes de efluentes têxteis. O primeiro objetivou, inicialmente, avaliar e comparar a remoção de cor de efluente têxtil sintético, contendo o corante azo Congo Red (CR), em sistemas anaeróbios de um estágio, composto por um único reator UASB (R1), e de dois estágios (R2), composto por um reator UASB acidogênico (R2,A) seguido de um outro metanogênico (R2,M). Os reatores foram submetidos a diferentes condições operacionais, variando-se as concentrações iniciais do corante e do substrato doador de elétrons (etanol) assim como o tempo de detenção hidráulica (TDH) dos reatores. Constatou-se que, com o aumento gradual da concentração de CR de 0,3 para 1,2 mM, a eficiência média total de remoção de cor do R1 diminuiu de 97,8 para 95,1%, enquanto a do R2 não apresentou variação relevante, sendo o R2,A responsável por grande parte da descoloração total alcançada (98,5%). Em relação à concentração inicial de etanol, observou-se queda de menos de 2% na eficiência média do R1 contra quase 6% na do R2 ao se reduzir a concentração do substrato de 1,0 para apenas 0,2 g DQO/L. E, ao se reduzir o TDH total dos sistemas de 24 para 12 horas, as eficiências médias de R1 e R2 passaram de, aproximadamente, 98% para 96,6 e 97,7%, respectivamente. Posteriormente, esses mesmos sistemas ainda foram alimentados com efluente têxtil real, e, apesar de ambos terem apresentado eficiências de remoção de cor menores do que as obtidas com o CR, o R1 atingiu um valor médio 7% maior do que o do R2. O segundo experimento buscou avaliar e comparar a remoção de cor de efluente têxtil real em sistemas anaeróbios de um estágio (TDH = 12 h) suplementados ou não com doador de elétrons (etanol) e mediador redox (AQDS). Não se observou nenhuma diferença entre os valores médios de eficiência de descoloração obtidos pelo reator suplementado com AQDS (R3) e pelo reator livre desse composto (R4). Entretanto, na ausência de etanol, embora ambos os reatores tenham apresentado menores valores de eficiência de remoção de cor, o R3 obteve uma eficiência média 5% maior do que a do R4. Concluiu-se que os sistemas anaeróbios empregados foram capazes de remover a cor de corantes de efluentes sintético e real sob diferentes condições operacionais. O impacto do mediador redox não foi evidente no tratamento do efluente real a um TDH de 12 horas, e a ausência de doador de elétrons adicional reduziu a eficiência de remoção de cor dos reatores
