Fournier Anne auteur aut IRD text journalArticle eng text/pdf reformatted digital access The Seme of Burkina Faso attribute all the problems they encounter to interventions from the invisible world. They identify the cause and the appropriate remedy (blood sacrifice) through divination. The diviner, called by the invisible, is intimately linked to a bush spirit through an initiation. This bush spirit becomes his divination assistant and thus his intermediary to the invisible world. The Seme have developed particularly precise representations of the invisible world. The successive sequences that make up the divinatory rite were identified in the first part of this study. This second part links each of these sequences observable in the visible world, to simultaneous actions performed by beings and powers in the invisible world. It presents the notions mobilised by the Seme in their divinatory practice, notably that of the human person and of individual destiny. Seme divination is an exercise in figuration of the invisible of great virtuosity. specialized BURKINA FASO 106ANTHRO2 9 en ligne [29 ] 2021 2198-6754 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010087044 10.4000/anthrovision.8453 2198-6754 [F B010087044] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010087044 https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/2024-01/010087044.pdf IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2022-12-21 2024-01-03 fdi:010087044 fre
