BURUNDIAN CULTURE AND SOCIETY IN MUTATION

The cultural heritage of Burundi is very rich, very old and very original. The preoccupation that constitutes the thread of this work is to be able to return on the image of the Burundian culture (retrospective of the past) as well as its most useful foundations, to balance them to be able to understand their state of places, sometimes to make synoptic comparisons of the events or observable facts and finally to enter in the logic of mutation to understand the march or the dynamicity of the culture in permanent change. The understanding and the progress of the present work will be successful according to the different elements approached in complementarity. The theory of the dynamics of change will mediate to ensure the continuity or discontinuity of the phenomenon or fact highlighted in correlation with the culture. How to understand the past and appropriate the present? Should we start from tabula rasa and/or parsimony to rehabilitate the authenticity of contemporary culture?
