Thèse soutenue publiquement le 28 janvier 2009 Tome 1 sur 2 Résumé A partir d’une question initiale portant sur les raisons de la longévité politique du président de la République gabonaise, nous avons mis en lumière les fondements symboliques du pouvoir politique au Gabon. Ceux-ci sont perceptibles au sein des quatre principales institutions étatiques. Ainsi, une étude détaillée des conditions de création, et d’évolution de ces institutions, nous a permis de découvrir la logique de l’autochtonie au cœur de l’Assemblée nationale, celle de l’ancestralité au sein du Sénat, tandis qu’au gouvernement se déploie celle de la filiation (fictive et réelle), et que le symbolisme du corps présidentiel est porté par diverses représentations. A ce sujet, nous pouvons distinguer d’une part, une analogie entre les deux corps présidentiels qui se sont succédés et d’autre part, le fait que le chef de l’Etat actuel incarne des dynamiques qui lui sont antérieures et qui le dépassent.

  • GREVY's ZEBRA Equus Grevyi Swahili Name
    Porini Camps Mammal Guide By Rustom Framjee Preface This mammal guide provides some interesting facts about the mammals that are seen by guests staying at Porini Camps. In addition, there are many species of birds and reptiles which are listed separately from this guide. Many visitors are surprised at the wealth of wildlife and how close you can get to the animals without disturbing them. Because the camps operate on a low tourist density basis (one tent per 700 acres) the wildlife is not ‘crowded’ by many vehicles and you can see them in a natural state - hunting, socialising, playing, giving birth and fighting to defend their territories. Some are more difficult to see than others, and some can only be seen when you go on a night drive. All Porini camps are unfenced and located in game rich areas and you will see much wildlife even in and around the camps. The Maasai guides who accompany you on all game drives and walks are very well trained and qualified professional guides. They are passionate and enthusiastic about their land and its wildlife and really want to show you as much as they can. They have a wealth of knowledge and you are encouraged to ask them more about what you see. They know many of the animals individually and can tell you stories about them. If you are particularly interested in something, let them know and they will try to help you see it. While some facts and figures are from some of the references listed, the bulk of information in this guide has come from the knowledge of guides and camp staff.
