Théories de la production sociale de l'objet et analyse des rapports au temps et à l'espace dans l'architecture domestique en Afrique
Résumé
L'objectif dece travail est de cerner les rapports au temps et à l'espace inscrits dans
l'architecture domestique en Afrique en partant de l'idée que les maisons construites par
les individus construisent à leur tour les individus. Pour ce faire, je me base sur les
analyses faites sur l'architecture africaine par certains chercheurs africanistes (en
particulier Suzanne Blier, Dominique Malaquais et Labelle Prussin) au cours de la
dernière moitié du XXe siècle. J'ai également inclu mes propres observations sur
l'architecture des peuples montagnards des monts Mandara du Cameroun.
The present study aims to understand the relation to the time and space registered in
domestic architecture in Africa, considering the fact that the houses built by the
individuals construct in their turn the individuals. With this intention, I base on the
analyses made on African architecture by certain Africanists scholars (In particular
Suzanne Blier, Dominique Malaquais and Labelle Prussin) during the last half of the 20e
century. I also included my own observations on the vernacular architecture of the ethnic
groups living in the Mandara Mountains of Cameroon.
