| Summary, etc. | Le roi des Mankon (Cameroun) dispense ses substances corporelles (souffle, salive, sperme) à son peuple et à ses épouses. Aux yeux du roi et de ses sujets, ces substances sont autant de substances ancestrales de vie. Ce fonctionnement n’est pas une survivance du passé. Le roi est un politicien de stature nationale et un homme d’affaires. Il promeut une modernisation conservatrice dans le cadre du « retour des rois » sur le devant de la scène politique africaine. Son corps physique comme réceptacle est au centre d’un dispositif d’assujettissement par le truchement d’une politique des corps qui incorpore les ressources de la modernité. |
| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | Body, technologies of power and the appropriation of modernity in CameroonThe king of Mankon (Cameroon) dispenses bodily substances (breath, saliva, sperm) to his people and his wives. In the eyes of both the monarch and his subjects, these substances are intimately linked to ancestral powers at the origin of all life. This state of affairs is not a matter of archaism – a remainder of past practices still extant today. The king is a politician of national renown and a businessman as well. His platform, in both realms, calls for a conservative modernization in the context of a « return of royal authority » onto the forefront of the political scene in Africa. Perceived as a receptacle, he plays a central role in this setting : he stands at the heart of a body politic (a politics of the self and of the body) that draws on the resources of modernity. |
