A l’heure actuelle dans le contexte de la démocratisation en Afrique, il est aberrant de vivre les crises sociopolitiques qui caractérisent l’espace politique africain. La question centrale dans cette étude est celle de savoir pourquoi l’Afrique demeure encore incapable de capitaliser de dividendes de la démocratisation comme dans les pays occidentaux ? Cette question trouve ses éléments de réponse dans la parenté et l’hybridisme des systèmes politiques en Afrique, au regard de leurs implications fonctionnelles dans la participation politique. En bref, l’africain doit chercher son identité en politique et un modèle adapté pour son épanouissement, sinon la démocratie serait un piège pour l’Afrique comme stipulait Honoré N’gbanda : « Afrique : Démocratie piégée » , alors que l’élection qui en est le mécanisme inconditionnel est « un piège à con » selon Jean Salem . C’est l’expression de l’hybridisme des systèmes politiques en d’autres termes en Afrique.

Les violences sexuelles envers les enfants, perpétrées par les adultes au sein de la famille, est l’une des formes les moins visibles de maltraitance d’enfants, car elle se produit le plus souvent dans l’intimité de la vie domestique, mais elle n’en est pas moins largement répandue dans toutes les sociétés. L’inceste est une réalité de tant de familles ayant de graves répercussions sur la santé physique et mentale des enfants victimes, leur bien-être et leur développement tout au long de leur vie et, par voie de conséquence, sur la société en général. En effet, les enfants victimes de violences sexuelles au sein de la famille, notamment l’inceste subissent les plus grandes injustices. Non seulement les violences sexuelles sont très rarement identifiées, les agresseurs encore moins dénoncés, les conséquences sur la santé quasiment jamais dépistées ni traitées , mais le plus souvent les victimes vont être abandonnées, rejetées, exclues, condamnées du fait de leurs symptômes, sommées de s’expliquer et de se justifier par rapport aux troubles du comportement et des conduites qu’elles développent fréquemment, ce sont elles que la société va culpabiliser ; ce sont elles à qui les proches vont sans cesse faire la morale ; ce sont elles qui vont être méprisées. L’inceste est donc à considérer comme « un fléau social », une atteinte sexuelle avec cette circonstance aggravante, du fait du lien familial . Et les répercussions sur la santé sont catastrophiques tant à la santé physique qu’à la santé mentale des victimes, ainsi qu’à leur développement.

Le mode de conquête ou d’obtention d’un(e) partenaire pour le mariage, évolue dans le temps et diffère d’une culture une autre. En « pays » bété, les pratiques et stratégies utilisées pour la mise en place du couple permet de parler des « mariages bété ». Pour cerner les caractéristiques de chaque type, une enquête ethnographique a été menée dans les localités de Dacuia et Badacuia. Vingt personnes ressources choisies typiquement ont été interrogées à partir de guide d’entretien. L’analyse des données présente cinq types de mariage dont le m’zigbanè kwôko ou mariage par échange, le Honon kwôko ou mariage ordinaire, le Gbli ou mariage par réservation, le kpa ou mariage par violence(conflictuel) et le Futo futôh kwôko ou mariage par rapt.

The purpose of this article is a reflection on the notions of "making family," "being family," and "being kin" in the calon perspective. To this end, I make an empirical construction about the marriages among Brazilian calon families and how their configurations direct relations of descent and affinity when producing family and relatives in thec perspective. I sew the writing of this text in subsequent moments, in which, I write about the ceasing to be a child and the rites of marriages, and a case of separation between a calon marriage with a non-gypsy; later, I analyze the possibilities of marriages; and, I finish by writing about family networks and their importance in the procedural elaboration of the calon person in making himself or herself among 'family'. Hence, the importance of thinking about how marriages inscribe themselves in the lives of children. The data analyzed is part of a long-term research between the years 2013 and 2019, a time when I was ethnographically involved with calon family networks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Les conflits conjugaux constituent une note dissonante qui se répercute dans l’imaginaire populaire pour confirmer que les immigrants sont violents et ne respectent pas les droits de la femme. Cette doxa renseigne sur le déphasage culturel que vivent les couples immigrants impliqués dans les tensions et les conflits conjugaux. La résolution de ces derniers présente un paradigme quant au choix à opérer afin que les mariés fument le calumet de la paix et que le foyer se calme et retrouve son harmonie. Cet article examine le type de choix possible auquel les intéressés peuvent se fier ; notre réflexion est faite au travers des récits de vie d’une famille immigrante. Après le décryptage, nous concluons le débat en proposant que les couples, en cas de conflit conjugal devraient éviter de se fier à l'imaginaire populaire et que c’est utile de faire confiance aux canaux juridiques si et seulement si la résolution par la parenté n’est pas possible.

Political subject recently identified the family is a fertile analysis site of « relation to power ». On a discursive plan, it is mobilized by sociopolitical actors in the scene of a seduction and positioning’s strategy. On a practical plan, its political instrumenttalization in Africa has often leads to a neo-patrimonial State because of government’s will to control illicit becoming rich sources of political power. The familial privatization of political power is both a guarantee of political stability and a potential source of tensions. Even so, familial transmission of political power comes down through the space and the time. Elsewhere, it illustrates above all the recognition struggle which organize citizen’s political relations. The dynastic temptation in great western democracies reveals more an insidious personalization of political power than a democracy decline. In this sense, it appears like a risky renewal of democratic experience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

D’un point de vue conceptuel, les systèmes de parenté reposent sur des modes de représentation culturelle que nous appelons terminologies de parenté et à partir desquelles les limites, la forme et la structure des principes d’organisation sociale sont culturellement élaborés. Contrairement à ce que les anthropologues tiennent depuis longtemps pour acquis, une terminologie n’est pas forcément inhérente aux relations généalogiques, ces dernières découlant de la logique structurelle de la terminologie de parenté. La structure de la terminologie, représentée sous une forme algébrique, peut être produite à partir des principaux termes de parenté, suivant un principe supposé universel de structures terminologiques de la parenté. Les terminologies diffèrent, sur le plan culturel, selon les principales expressions et équations utilisées pour les élaborer. Cela implique un changement de paradigme qui nous ferait passer de la généalogie considérée comme fondement essentiel des relations de parenté à un modèle dans lequel la parenté intégrerait à la fois des termes de parenté propres à un système de représentations culturellement constitué auquel nous nous référons dans la terminologie de parenté, et une dimension généalogique élaborée de manière récursive en utilisant les relations parents/enfants. Ces deux domaines sont fondés sur un espace familial comprenant les positions de parents/enfants, conjoints, germains.

In this article, I analyse the appropriations of social housing within maroon working classes in Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni in French Guiana. I show that issues of power within the house are intricately linked to state governing modes. For their occupants, social housing materializes social ascent and urban integration, or marital emancipation for women: this "change of life" allows them to become "free" (frey). The residents mark the exterior and/or interior space and claim the development of the neighbourhood. The adjustments they make are denounced by the French authorities, along class, race, and nationality boundaries. The issues of "house government" therefore inextricably combine the power relations within a kinship group or a couple, and tensions between inhabitants and French authorities.

This article attempts to question the speeches about domestic government in agropastoral Hight-Atlas in Morocco. Based on an ethnographical research, the article questions the conditions of possibility of speeches about group cohesion symbolized by father's authority. It aims to shed light on practices by which cohesion and authority are implemented, and to question units of analysis used by researchers. Comparison of domestic groups' morphological characteristics or member's practices and trajectories leads to observe that cohesion and authority are subject to tensions (and are therefore endangered). Doing so, one can see that a group (and the authority within it) is actualized by its membres' permanent work on its social, economic and spatial characteristics, such as for instance matrimonial and residential practices, or acquisition and devolution of inheritance. This approach allows to question the "house" as an object of speeches about domestic government, within agropastoral Hight-Atlas in Morocco. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article describes and discusses a transdisciplinary research project that archives children's drawings of their lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer + (LGBTQ+) family structures. Children with LGBTQ+ parents from Ontario, Canada, were interviewed and asked to draw a portrait of their family. The drawings and related interviews have provided empirical data with which to generate theory about their subjective realities. Analysis rests in two locations: the act of a child drawing and the adult's collective witnessing of the drawings. In asking what new forms of kinship can be symbolically elaborated in their drawings, we have worked with the children to cultivate representations that re-figure notions of family so that a multiplicity of attachments and forms of cohabitation are better understood. Our analysis employs affect theory, psychoanalysis, and arts-based research methods, with emphasis on the socio-political significance of aesthetic expression. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

L’étude a pour but de montrer que l’inscription de Cabeça Boa, récemment publiée, s’inscrit dans une série de témoignages dans la péninsule Ibérique et au-delà, qui permettent de repérer une triade de parents (le neveu, son oncle et sa mère), identifiée par les anthropologues comme l’ « atome de parenté », nécessaire à la reproduction de toute société. Dans certaines circonstances familiales, comme le décès prématuré d’un père, l’oncle maternel (auunculus) pouvait être amené à tenir une place particulière dont l’épigraphie funéraire nous renvoie plus facilement l’écho, sans que l’on ait besoin de conclure à la prépondérance de la branche maternelle sur la branche paternelle.

This afterword offers a commentary on the concept of relations discussed in the introduction and the individual contributions to this special issue by critically reflecting on the key concepts that have emerged in it. It contributes to the discussion with a reflection on the use of the term parente in Amazonia, showing how its exclusive use in inter-ethnic contexts indicates a play of perspective in the way that relations between different groups of people are experienced.
