Une tradition concernant la migration vers la falaise de Bandiagara raconte que les pattes mouill\u00e9es d\u2019un chien r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e8rent la pr\u00e9sence d\u2019eau, fournissant au groupe une indication vitale. Le r\u00e9cit associe l\u2019orientation de l\u2019animal \u00e0 la connaissance du milieu et au choix d\u2019un lieu d\u2019\u00e9tablissement. Le chien devient ainsi une figure de guide dans la m\u00e9moire communautaire.<\/p>\n<p>Cette relation \u00e9claire la force \u00e9vocatrice des images zoomorphes. L\u2019animal domestique vit pr\u00e8s de l\u2019homme tout en conservant des capacit\u00e9s sensorielles et des comportements qui lui permettent de circuler entre l\u2019habitat et ses alentours. Protection, orientation et reconnaissance des lieux relient son image au rapport entre communaut\u00e9 et paysage. Le r\u00e9cit r\u00e9unit une n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 concr\u00e8te, l\u2019eau, et le souvenir d\u2019un \u00e9tablissement.<\/p>\n<p>Dans la sculpture, le chien se reconna\u00eet par l\u2019organisation du museau, des oreilles, du dos et des membres. Le sculpteur s\u00e9lectionne et raccorde ces \u00e9l\u00e9ments dans un corps compact, o\u00f9 le profil et la disposition des pattes peuvent compter davantage que la description anatomique d\u00e9taill\u00e9e. Cette \u00e9conomie formelle pr\u00e9serve l\u2019identit\u00e9 de l\u2019animal et donne \u00e0 l\u2019image une solidit\u00e9 adapt\u00e9e \u00e0 un objet durable.<\/p>\n<p>Le sujet s\u2019inscrit dans l\u2019histoire plus large de la sculpture du Mali, en distinguant le r\u00e9pertoire Dogon des productions ant\u00e9rieures \u00e0 la pr\u00e9sence Dogon document\u00e9e dans la r\u00e9gion. Une image pr\u00e9-Dogon, comme l\u2019exemplaire illustrant cet article, offre un rapprochement dans la longue histoire de la repr\u00e9sentation animale ; elle ne correspond pas n\u00e9cessairement au contexte du r\u00e9cit de Bandiagara. Les relations entre objets, narrations et traditions r\u00e9gionales s\u2019\u00e9clairent par l\u2019\u00e9tude conjointe de la forme, de la chronologie et de la documentation disponible.<\/p>\n<h3>Bibliographie et comparaisons<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Jean Laude, <em>African Art of the Dogon<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Leloup, <em>Dogon<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/art\/collection\/search?q=Dogon+dog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Metropolitan Museum of Art, Dogon objects<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"dalton-related-insights\">\n<h3>Approfondissements associ\u00e9s<\/h3>\n<div class=\"dalton-fr-approfondissement-link-list\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 7px;line-height:1.45;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.daltonsomare.com\/fr\/approfondimenti-tematici\/coiffes-tchiwara-bamana-antilope-agriculture-ordre-social\/\">Les coiffes Tchiwara Bamana : antilope, agriculture et ordre social<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 7px;line-height:1.45;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.daltonsomare.com\/fr\/approfondimenti-tematici\/art-tribal-africain-histoire-terme-usage-critique\/\">Art tribal africain : histoire d\u2019un terme et usage critique<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 7px;line-height:1.45;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.daltonsomare.com\/fr\/approfondimenti-tematici\/masques-africains-fonction-rituelle-langage-formel\/\">Masques africains : fonction rituelle et langage formel<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dans l\u2019art Dogon du Mali, le chien est un animal li\u00e9 \u00e0 la vie humaine et aux r\u00e9cits des origines.
