En revanche, les rumeurs, les ouï-dire, les anecdotes et autres commérages qui y ont cours et qui peuvent tout autant nous éclairer sur l'organisation d'une société, ses imaginaires et ses représentations, ont été très souvent relégués au second plan. Dans cette anthologie, l'anthropologue Jean-Paul Colleyn et son collaborateur malien Mingoro Sanogo ont rassemblé une cinquantaine de récits, entendus et collectés au Mali entre les années 1980 et les premières décennies du XXIe siècle. Néologisme formé par la combinaison des on-dit et des dictons, les « dit-on » sont à la fois de petits contes sur les origines et de véritables paraboles des temps modernes, mêlant fiction et récit autobiographique. En creux, ces histoires brossent ainsi un portrait aux multiples facettes de la société malienne : l'amour, la vie conjugale, la sexualité, tout comme les cultes, leurs dieux, leurs génies et leurs malédictions, émaillent le quotidien que racontent ces témoignages. Plutôt que de se concentrer sur les illustres cultures de cour africaines, connues pour leurs griots et leurs marabouts, ce livre entend réhabiliter les modes moins prestigieux de l'oralité, tout en montrant que le bouche-à-oreille demeure encore aujourd'hui une source d'information tout aussi instructive que savoureuse.Ethnic studiesbicsscMalifastanthropologiecontesritueltradition oraleEthnic studies398.2096623Colleyn Jean-Paul467791Sanogo MingoroDiawara Manthia1953-BOOK9910765529403321Les « dit-on » et quelques autres récits plus sérieux4307799UNINA
