\n\u00c0 un an de la pr\u00e9sidentielle au B\u00e9nin, une d\u00e9mocratie en chantiers<\/p>\n

Un samedi soir \u00e0 Porto-Novo, quartier Dodji. Au mariage de St\u00e9phanie et de Luc, la f\u00eate bat son plein. Chez les hommes, le code vestimentaire varie peu. Ici, ni costume ni cravate. Soit l\u2019on porte le majestueux agbada (grand boubou traditionnel yorouba), soit l\u2019on arbore un goodluck (tunique), coutumier dans la partie m\u00e9ridionale du B\u00e9nin. Et, comme le mari\u00e9, la plupart des invit\u00e9s ont enfil\u00e9 leur gobi, un couvre-chef masculin g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement confectionn\u00e9 \u00e0 base de pagne tiss\u00e9, brod\u00e9 ou non.<\/p>\n

Jadis symbole d\u2019appartenance \u00e0 certaines aires culturelles du sud et du nord du B\u00e9nin, ce petit bonnet est plus que jamais \u00e0 la mode. Son r\u00f4le purement esth\u00e9tique ayant supplant\u00e9 sa fonction sociale, il s\u2019est d\u00e9sormais mis \u00e0 la port\u00e9e de tous.<\/p>\n

Quelques vendeurs ambulants se sont opportun\u00e9ment post\u00e9s sur la place voisine pour vendre des gobis \u00e0 ceux qui sont encore t\u00eate nue et pour tenter les fans de mode portant d\u00e9j\u00e0 un bonnet mais d\u00e9sireux d\u2019en enfiler un plus chic ou mieux assorti \u00e0 leur tenue. C\u2019est l\u2019attroupement. Et la preuve que le gobi a la cote.<\/p>\n

Symbole de prestance, indispensable \u00e0 toute c\u00e9r\u00e9monie, le gobi est \u00e0 l\u2019origine un accessoire caract\u00e9ristique des Gouns (populations de la r\u00e9gion de Porto-Novo) et des Baatonous (du Nord-B\u00e9nin). De forme cylindrique, souple et parfois orn\u00e9 de codes, ce bonnet est un marqueur social et le v\u00e9hicule de messages, selon la fa\u00e7on dont il est port\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Dans son essai Le Couvre-chef \u00e0 Porto-Novo. Le gobi\u2009: sens et significations, Charles Dossou Ligan, docteur en sociolinguistique, d\u00e9crypte le sens du port du gobi chez les Gouns de la capitale. Lorsque le bout du bonnet est rabattu \u00e0 gauche, il souligne \u00ab le privil\u00e8ge \u00bb (c\u2019est-\u00e0-dire respect d\u00fb \u00e0 celui qui le porte). Rabattu \u00e0 droite, il traduit \u00ab la joie de vivre \u00bb (position dominante lors des f\u00eates et r\u00e9jouissances).<\/p>\n

Balanc\u00e9 en avant, il exprime \u00ab la volont\u00e9 d\u2019aller de l\u2019avant \u00bb ou \u00ab l\u2019assurance de venir \u00e0 bout d\u2019un probl\u00e8me \u00bb (position affich\u00e9e lors de n\u00e9gociations ou de m\u00e9diations). Rabattu sur la nuque, il joue la provocation et marque l\u2019indiff\u00e9rence face aux critiques.<\/p>\n

M\u00e9fiance cependant, car le sens du bout du bonnet varie et ne porte pas en effet les m\u00eames messages chez les Baatonous. Pour eux, \u00ab tourn\u00e9 vers la droite, le gobi signifie que l\u2019on est orphelin de p\u00e8re et, tourn\u00e9 vers la gauche, que l\u2019on est orphelin de m\u00e8re, explique l\u2019historien L\u00e9on Bani Bio Bigou. Lorsque son porteur atteint une certaine \u201cmaturit\u00e9 sociale\u201d et que ses parents sont vivants, le gobi devrait en principe \u00eatre orient\u00e9 vers le haut. Enfin, la position vers l\u2019arri\u00e8re est r\u00e9serv\u00e9e aux chefs, elle veut dire qu\u2019ils sont au sommet et n\u2019ont rien \u00e0 prouver. \u00bb<\/p>\n

Mais aujourd\u2019hui, pour beaucoup, seule l\u2019esth\u00e9tique compte. En particulier dans le sud du pays, o\u00f9 la plupart des jeunes ne se pr\u00e9occupent plus des messages du gobi, qu\u2019ils portent en d\u00e9pit du sens historique et culturel, \u00e0 raison de 1\u2009000 F CFA (1,50 euro) pour les mod\u00e8les standards, jusqu\u2019\u00e0 50\u2009000 F CFA pour les mod\u00e8les haut de gamme, voire 100\u2009000 F CFA pour les plus luxueux, selon la qualit\u00e9 du tissu, les finitions, la personnalisation des motifs, etc.<\/p>\n

Attention toutefois car, chez les Baatonous, les r\u00e8gles restent strictes. Si, par m\u00e9connaissance des traditions ou par effet de mode, vous trichez sur l\u2019orientation du gobi, on risque de vous rappeler \u00e0 l\u2019ordre rapidement. \u00ab Ici, on conna\u00eet ceux qui peuvent se targuer d\u2019\u00eatre chefs \u00bb, conclut L\u00e9on Bani Bio Bigou.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
