Sobre IBD

Les Wolof constituent le groupe ethnique majoritaire au Sénégal dont la filiation est de type bilinéaire. De la sorte, le matrilignage et le patrilignage définissent la parenté dans son sens large. La mort étant fondatrice de la vie, pour se donner les moyens de s'immortaliser et de mieux rendre la vie perdurable, les Wolof mettent en oeuvre un ensemble de pratiques, de croyances et de modèles explicatifs sensés qui placent l'issue fatale non pas en dehors de la réalité sociale et donc hors de la vie, mais dans la vie.
