Full textThe research covers the way the Vhavenḓa people bury their dead. Although the emphasis is on Tshivenḓa burials, the study has also examined the way burials are undertaken in other cultures such as Xhosa, Sotho, Indians, Xitsonga, Hindu, Greek and Muslim culture. The study shows that burials in Tshivenḓa are characterized by peculiar features. For instance the way the royal people are buried is different from the way the ordinary people are laid to rest. In addition, there are also special rituals that must be performed when children, women and men are buried. The study also includes to the fact that mordernity, has an impact on the manner in which the Vhavenḓa conduct their burials. In the past burials where cheap to conduct whereas these days they are relatively expensive. Lastly, the study has discovered that both old and modern forms of burials have advantages and disadvantages. It is, therefore, crucial for people to utilize the advantages of both the afore mentioned types of burial.
Azizi, Souad. "Ceremonies de mariage en changement dans le grand agadir, sous, maroc." Paris, EHESS, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1998EHES0075.
Full textThe matrimonial rituals of morocco wich were characterized by an important regional variety tend to standardization through the generalization of a clothing ritual coming from the imperial cities. The research has been carried in the grand agadir. Two hypotheses are proposed : 1) the permanence of cultural configurations shared by all moroccans ensures the diffusion of the contemporary ritual ; 2) the royal family has contributed to its legitimation. The first part studies the traditionnal rites of the sous, the second investigates change process in the grand agadir. It appears that the contemporary ritual secures the permanence of traditions while creating an illusion of evolution. The families keep control over feminine virginity thus ensuring the permanence of male suprematy and the couple's submission. The identification of the bride to the princesses is an innovation but it does not annihilate the treatment of woman like an object. Traditionnally, the popular legitimation of monarchy was signified by the identification of the bridegroom to the sultan. This ritual enthronment expressed the capacity of every srong man to accede to power. The present identification of the bride to the princesses reduces the bridegroom to the subordinate rank of son-in-law and makes of the king the omnipotent father. The ritual thus secures the permanence of man's submission to the royal power. The emerging national ritual is a demonstration of the strength of moroccan identity and a confirmation of the controlled opening to the influences of the occident and the orient. This study permits to observe the process of cultural uniformization in a society wich was characterized by the division of its sub-groups and the passage of local customs to the status of national symbols

Full textThis research is organized around three phases. During the second half of the eighteenth century, caracterized by its modernity, nuclear family is the dominant form of households. Along the nineteenth century, the dominant pattern is changing with the spreading of complex forms. The individual participates to the invention of a tradition because he is submitted to the family group. This recent tradition is a reference during the twentieth century but new forms of individualism appear. This mouvement enlightens a political transition dominated by the french historical construction. Several datas around this mediterranean case allow to understand the originality of the french architecture in the dynamics of europe. Casinca, old "paese", becomes a "pays de france" and is a mirror of an aesthetic project. This one involves a meaning of politics as organisation of life including a sociability stimulated by an economy for emotion : tastes, savours, quality, landscapes. .
