Croyances religieuses et processus d’occupation de l’espace chez les Moose du Burkina Faso

cas du village de Bonam

Abstract

Religion and its impact on the Bonam settlement, a burkinabe village situated at the east of the Moose kingdom is a subject which demonstrate how populations considered themselves « autochthonous » mainly the Yarse and the Yonyoose contributed, through their vision of visible and invisible world to frame neighborhoods in Bonam by dividing them into social groups in one hand and into space dedicated to the living and space allocated to those who passed away. This conception equally contributed to construct among them a feeling of a common destiny which is of great inspiration for the present day.
