| Summary: | Faced with the chaos which characterizes postcolonial African societies governed by the tools of Western modernity and the overthrow of the traditional religious order, ousted by imported religions, Jean-Marie Adiaffi proposes a new paradigm of development which moves away from modernity poorly inculturated on the continent. A joint ecopoetic and Durandian mythocritical reading based on the anthropological structures of the imagination reveals a reconciliation of the African being with the spiritual and cultural foundations of its origins to support endogenous human development. To this end, it activates a spiritual feminist myth embodied by the figure of the Prophetess Akoua Mando Sounan (Komian priestess) to invite us to find in the origins of mother earth (Gaia) a new impetus which reconnects the African man with the work applied to a fertile and productive nature for its well-being and harmonious development. |
