Le foyer des métaphores mal soudées. Forgerons et potières chez les Dìì de l'Adamaoua (Nord-Cameroun)

Authors

  • Jean-Claude Muller Muniversité de Montréal

Abstract

The Dii of Adamawa have a caste of black smiths/potters which claim to have voluntarily become endogamous without this status being imposed on them by the rest of the society. Although in some ways "foreigners," they enjoy a rather positive status, whereas most of the neighbours relegate them to a low position. A brief comparison with the immediate neighbours will show these modulations of status.
