Jalons de l’animation socioculturelle à Mayotte

Abstract

Sociocultural community development today in Mayotte can be identified only by taking into account a combination of approaches declined under the categories of Space, Time and Society in a cultural, political and economic evolution of the territory. The Space has for vocation to place Mayotte in a wide geographical set allowing to open its horizon as close as distant. This goes since the Comoros, via the area Swahilie, the channel of Mozambique, etc. The whole is crowned by its location in Indian Ocean. The chosen Time, the period 1980-2010, allows us to depict a historic trajectory over 30 years. From there, bridges will be necessary between the retrospection and the projection. As regards the Society, it is intended to raise some of the main lines and the characteristics forming lifestyles of the mahoraise society which are important constituent data for the functioning of sociocultural community development.
