- W3003647886 abstract "Repressed by colonial authorities, missionaries, and later presidential regimes, long confused with witchcraft, bwiti and other Gabonese initiation societies are now represented as local traditions and heritage. Instruments, costumes, songs and dance moves are often displayed in museums, exhibitions, conferences, or on world-music stages as an expression of Gabonese identity. This change has occurred since independence through a historical process of heritage-making and through the action of academics (Bonhomme 2006), cultural policies, tourism (Chabloz 2014), or initiates themselves (Mary 2003, 2006). Nevertheless, the part played by musicians and dancers in this process has long been occulted. Drawing on a long-term ethnography of urban music and dance scenes in Libreville (2008-2015), this contribution examines the history of the heritage-making of bwiti through music and dance. The paper introduces the trajectories of two key actors who have helped to transfer dances, music, songs, instruments, make-up and initiation symbols from temples to music stages. They have introduced elements of initiation rituals into their performances, and they have taken bwiti abroad to festivals. Through the description of their creative process, routes and performances, I discuss how the historical anthropology of Gabonese music and dance reveals unknown aspects of the history of local religions." @default.
