Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examen d'avatars de cultes marocains des grottes. Etude anthropologique du culte qui se célébrait au Maroc devant les grottes véritables ou supposées. L'auteur s'est attaché à en examiner les avatars, selon les régions, depuis l'occupation romaine jusqu'au début du XXe siècle. Outil indispensable pour tous ceux qui s'intéressent à l'histoire anthropologique du Maroc. Grâce à l'ouvrage d'un historien de renommée, découvrez le culte qui se célèbrait au Maroc devant les grottes véritables ou supposées. EXTRAIT On voit donc que bien des faits de nécromancie s’expliquent en réalité par la puissance supérieure du personnage consulté, saint ou génie, qu’il garde mort comme il l’avait vivant ; et le rôle des démons peut y être considérable, encore que l’Islam favorise plutôt le saint. Mais si nous nous en tenons aux grottes, une constatation très suggestive s’impose : l’Islam lui-même a dû reconnaître que le culte, avec rite d’incubation, qui s’attache à certaines d’entre elles, est rendu aux seuls génies. C’est le cas, par exemple, de la grotte de Sidi Chemharouj, dans le Goundafi, dont nous parlerons plus en détail au chapitre suivant. Le fait que Chemharouj est reconnu comme roi des génies par l’orthodoxie musulmane ne doit pas faire illusion : l’Islam n’a pas osé imposer un saint de son cru, il s’en est tenu au génie et c’est celui-ci qui rend les oracles. A moins donc de supposer que dans les croyances berbères préislamiques, les cavernes des défunts s’identifiaient aux jnoun ou en devenaient une catégorie, ce qui serait, dans l’état actuel de nos connaissances, une hypothèse tout au moins risquée, il faut bien reconnaître que, dans les grottes, ce sont les petites divinités chtoniennes, les génies, qui rendent aussi les oracles par incubation. À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR Henri Basset est historien du début du XXe siècle, spécialiste de l'Afrique du Nord et de la culture berbère.

En 1916, Lyautey lui propose un poste à l'Ecole supérieure de langue arabe et de dialectes berbères, au Maroc. Après avoir écrit deux thèses Essai sur la littérature des Berbères et Le culte des grottes au Maroc, il est reçu en 1920 docteur es Lettres à la faculté de Lettres d'Alger dont son père, René Basset, avait été le doyen. La même année, il devient directeur adjoint de l'Institut des hautes études marocaines. Henri Basset meurt le 12 avril 1926 à Rabat.

Download or read book Geoheritage of the Middle Atlas Morocco written by Khaoula Baadi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-06-16 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a condensed summary of a broad spectrum of the geological heritage of the Middle Atlas. It has the particularity of proposing an in-depth synthesis and a critical review of the geoheritage of the region. The book addresses the issues related to geoheritage and methodologies for the selection, inventory, assessment and preservation of geosites. It reviews the state of the art of geoheritage in Morocco, particularly in the Middle Atlas, in order to identify geosites with rare and unique geological features. The book presents a detailed study of lithostratigraphic and sedimentological heritage as geosites witnessing at different spatial and temporal scales the evolution and the stratigraphic, sedimentological and paleogeographic history of the Middle Atlas range. It also presents the paleontological heritage of vertebrates by reviewing the discoveries of paleontological sites and their risks in order to present its conservation plans. It also addresses the hydric and fluvial heritage by presenting the potential of water resources and the impact of climate change on the latter. Furthermore, it highlights the karst heritage by exposing an inventory of exo- and endokarst geosites in order to emphasize some unique sites on a national and African scale as well as revealing the underground biodiversity related to this heritage. Finally, it proposes a presentation of the volcanic heritage in order to assess the volcanic geosites that testify to the strombolian, phreatomagmatic and Hawaiian dynamism of the region. The book is mainly intended for researchers, geologists and specialists of the Moroccan Middle Atlas region wishing to acquire a broad multidisciplinary or even transdisciplinary knowledge. It will also be accessible to a non-initiated public, interested in the richness of the Moroccan geoheritage, as well as to Moroccan territorial authorities (High Commission for Water and Forests, Ministry of Tourism, National Institute of Archaeology and Heritage Sciences, etc.) who can benefit from it in the perspective of their strategies of preservation of the national geological heritage. This work will be an example for geoscientists, on an African scale, of a valorization of territorial geological heritage.

Download or read book Health and Ritual in Morocco written by Josep Lluís Mateo Dieste and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2012-10-12 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Health and Ritual in Morocco, Josep Lluis Mateo Dieste analyzes the many notions of the body that appear in various Moroccan medical and religious systems. Viewing these issues from anthropological and historical perspectives to the development of Islamic medicine in Morocco, this study highlights the elements of power that define these representations and practices. Mateo Dieste shows that most of the healing rituals challenge the strict division between physical and mental afflictions. Health and Ritual in Morocco provides a valuable structure for understanding Moroccan conceptions of the person, rites of passage, gender differences, and reproductive practices. It offers insights into the weight of the notions of impurity and purification of the body in the daily life of the contemporary Moroccan population.

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Morocco written by Aomar Boum and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-06-02 with total page 1003 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A historical reference work on Morocco must take as its subject al-maghrib al-aqsa (the far west) as the Arabic scholars have generally referred to the approximate region of present-day Morocco, roughly the north-west corner of Africa but at times including much of the Iberian peninsula, because the modern nation-state is a relatively recent creation owing much to events in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. External influences on Morocco tend to come across the narrow straits of Gibraltar to the north, from the east along the Mediterranean litoral, or up from the Sahara. In each case, access is constrained by geography and continued control from outside the region has been difficult to manage over the long term. Although many of the dynasties that came to power in Morocco conquered much broader regions, history and topology have so conspired that there is still more coherence to an historical focus on al-maghrib al-aqsa than is the case for most modern nation-states. This third edition of Historical Dictionary of Morocco contains a chronology, an introduction, a glossary, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 600 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Morocco.

Download or read book Saint Veneration Among the Jews in Morocco written by Issachar Ben-Ami and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among Moroccan Jews, saint worship is an important cultural characteristic, practiced throughout the population. Saint Veneration among the Jews in Morocco, the only book in English on this topic, contains essential information about Moroccan Jewry not available anywhere else. The Hebrew edition, published by Magnes Press in 1984, has become a standard classic in the study of the history, culture, and religious practices of Moroccan Jewry. In this new English language edition, based on ten years of fieldwork, Issachar Ben-Ami provides the basic historical and ethnographic information about saint veneration. He illuminates the intricate network that connects the saints and their faithful followers, while revealing the ideological fundamentals that sustain the interrelationship and ensure ritual continuity. Using material selected from more than 1,200 testimonies collected during the course of his research, Ben-Ami describes historical and legendary types of saints, customs and beliefs related to the saints or their sanctuaries, and the practices and ceremonies that take place during or outside the hillulah, the the festival that celebrates the anniversary of the death of a saint. Two chapters are dedicated to a comparison with the cult of saints among the Muslims in Morocco as well as to the relationship between Jews and Muslims in Morocco in what concerning saint veneration. In addition, Ben-Ami has included an exhaustive list of 656 saints-25 of whom are women-as well as documentation of the burial sites and legendary stories of the saints' lives as they have been told by their followers and worshippers in Israel. Also included are popular creative works such as legends, stories, dreams, and songs extolling the greatness and miraculous deeds of the saints. The picture that emerges from this study is that of a strong community of believing Jews who lived in the expectancy of the coming of the Messiah and welcomed miracles as part of their routine life. With the immigration of the Jews of Morocco to other countries, this fascinating world has disappeared, although it has found new ways of expression in Israel.
