Research
Our long-term research objectives have evolved since the creation of the Sillon Noir in 1970 and our Inculturation Research Center in 1990. However, whatever the challenges, each member of the research teams remains enthusiastic and focused on the work. to accomplish. Learn more below.
Presentation of the Laboratories
Two Laboratories animate the CRS-NDI:
the African Laboratory of Community Intellectual Sage Daa René Akanzan (LASIC), and
the African Research Laboratory on Interculturality, Social Change and Integral Ecology (LARICSE).
LASIC Projects
Based on the collection and analysis of cultural texts by wise community intellectuals in the oral system, these research works have been striving for 50 years to reconstruct the entire socio-anthropological and religious universe of traditional Africa, in particular in the ancient Kingdom of Danxomè.
LARICSE Projects
These projects aim to identify the dynamism of the cultural change underway in Africa and to put it into perspective at the heart of the planetary cultural village built by globalization but which, paradoxically, only highlights the nuances of identity which, sometimes, express themselves in nationalist withdrawals and violent rejection of the other.
