La gestion des conflits par le Sanangouya, un mécanisme traditionnel de prévention et de régulation des conflits dans les couples alliés sénoufo et koyaka
Résumé
Couples are facing difficulties as marriage undergoes a genuine “crisis of legitimacy.” Yet, a growing number of Senoufo and Koyaka people are joining their lives together. These unions appear enduring, successfully weathering life’s vicissitudes through resilience and, above all, by drawing upon the system of alliances mandated by Sanangouya. This non-aggression pact between peoples has served to resolve numerous situations within traditional societies. Through this institution, communities learned to coexist and to transform negative energies into positive sensibilities, fostered by play, sharing and a spirit of cordiality. This research is based on the premise that this custom acts as an effective mechanism for managing marital tensions, while simultaneously promoting social mediation, harmony between allied households, solidarity and inter-community peace. One might therefore ask: how does Sanangouya help prevent and resolve conflicts specific to mixed couples? How does it cement the union, social peace and cohesion within these mixed couples and their communities? In what ways does this cultural heritage endure, reinvent itself or fade away in the face of current transformations? This study structures its theoretical framework around literature reviews, interviews and specific methodological approaches: social ties, social regulation and social cohesion. It examines the history and symbolic role of Sanangouya between the Senufo and Koyaka communities, analyzes the impact of this practice on the integration of spouses and their respective groups, and explores the future and boundaries of this age-old custom that remains rooted in the present.
