Moose Socio-Cosmic Dualism: The Logic of the Village and the Logic of the State in Burkina Faso

Sjoerd Zanen

Abstrak

In the contemporary socio-economic and political order of Moose society in Burkina Faso and elsewhere in Africa so-called “traditional” witchcraft still plays an important role. But how, in modern Moose society, must the occult, the flipside of things, be understood? In what cultural scheme or discourse does it fit and operate? How do the “real” and the “supernatural,” the visible and the invisible, the “dayside” and the “nightside” of things, relate to each other in notions of political power, “development,” law, economy? In other words, what is the ambiguous, cross-fertilizing relation between what is often called “tradition” and “modernity” in modern rural and urban Burkina Faso?
