“…Among the Luo of Kenya, women generally marry outside the locality where they were born and are subjected to a resocialization process under their mother-in-law's supervision. If the mother-in-law is a potter, the newlywed will learn the trade at her mother-in-law's side to show that she is ready to integrate into her new family (Herbich 1987).…”

“…Et pourquoi la réflexivité serait-elle forcément du cô té de la création, tandis que la structuration serait de celui de la tradition? Il y a bien sû r des exceptions (par ex., Balfet 1965;Herbich 1987), mais à consulter les travaux qui évoquent le décor céramique ou le mettent en scène depuis une cinquantaine d'années, on a le sentiment d'une réflexion entachée de préjugés et axée sur des questionnements finalement peu féconds. Faut-il alors s'étonner que l'attention des ethnologues et de nombreux archéologues se soit tournée vers d'autres aspects de la chaîne opératoire à partir des années 1990, au point que le décor est pratiquement sorti des discussions théoriques?…”

“…Le premier est documenté par Herbich (1987) au sein de communautés Luo du Kenya. Elle y observe que les micro-styles ornementaux correspondent à des unités domestiques dispersées dans l'espace et qu'ils sont perpétués, paradoxalement, par des femmes originaires d'autres unités et soumises à un processus de resocialisation post-maritale.…”

“…Nor is any further information forthcoming from the literature on pottery production systems in other African societies, since the problem was never studied and the modes of technological transmission are rarely documented by the authors.

In this patrilocal society, each woman will undergo a severe post-marital resocialisation process under the supervision of her mother-in-law.…”
