GLEHWE ET ZUNME, UNE APPROCHE CRITIQUE PAR LA MONDIALISATION DU MIMETISME RURALISTE CARTESIEN MANICHEISTE. POUR UNE RUPTURE EPISTEMOLOGIQUE PAR LA REFLEXION MANTIQUE DU VODUN

Glehwe, called in Western jargon Ouidah, is a tourist town in the Republic of Benin, occupies a lagoon site, preceded by a sandy coastline that borders the Atlantic Ocean. The city is located 42 kilometers west of Cotonou. The city belongs to the historico-cultural triangle Abomey-Ouidah-Porto-Novo composed of three cities heavily involved in the slave trade, endowed with one of the most important pre-colonial architectural heritage in sub-Saharan Africa. At the heart of this city, there is Vodun and therefore the Hunkpame, one of whose connotations is Zun. It is a question here of carrying out an inventory of fixtures of mimicry in rural sociology opposed to a city-dwelling reserved for an urban sociology of Ouidah. The methodological approach adopted is purely qualitative, which satisfied the requirements for the construction and use of data collection tools: observation guide, interview guide and this, with 48 social actors formed from the sampling technique that is reasoned choice. The data collected converge on a certain number of codes with social cognitive sounds, all aspects of which remain to be determined in Glehwe: rituals of the yam.
