Sainte parmi les saints

Abstract: Au Maghreb, au XXIe siècle, les saints musulmans et les rituels qui leur sont associés, loin de se dissoudre dans une modernité uniformisante, continuent à réunir nombre de fidèles. À partir d’un travail de terrain de plusieurs années, à Tunis et à La Manouba, l’auteur analyse le culte contemporain d’une sainte du XIIIe siècle, Sayyda Mannûbiya. D’après l’hagiographie et les légendes, les différences entre femmes et hommes saints paraissent minimisées en islam. Cependant, en dépit de la similarité apparente de… Show more

“…Even the national historiography has rarely been concerned with its African identity and relations with the rest of the continent. The only interest it grants its own black population has long been through the theme of « popular religion » and rituals of Stambeli (Rahal, 2000 ;Boissevain, 2006). Very few scholarly work show interest for the history of the black community in the country (Mrad Dali, 2005, Pouessel, 2013.…”

The innovative feature of this research lies in its desire to take both sides of saint worship into account: analyzing not only the lives, histories and legends of saints through their hagiographies, for example, but also understanding the social issues involved through an exploration of the rituals practiced during the journeys to and time spent at the shrines (Kerrou 1998, Mayeur-Jaouen 2002, Amri and Gril 2007, Boissevain 2006). Hence, anthropologists see saint worship as a devotion to the divine and the holy person and an embodiment of social relations, while also taking into account the preoccupations of pilgrims and visitors.…”

“…Another occasion for a visit would be the return from hajj or umrah, when pilgrims bring presents for the saint in the shape of chandeliers, carpets or paintings. Where regular individual weekly visits do occur, they usually take place in two contrasting but connected contexts: weekly Sufi rituals or religious/therapeutic possession rituals (Andézian 1995, Boissevain 2006).…”
