Title: CIVISM, VALUES AND COUNTER-VALUES IN CAMEROON. THE ANTHROPOLOGY OF BEHAVIOR IN YAOUNDE CITY

Author: Alexandre NDJALLA

Abstract:

Public space and its management in sub-Saharan Africa suffer from its open character and its lack of belonging to a third party. The behavioral deviations that are observed there lead to a questioning of the perception that some and others have of it. Civility and civility need to be reconsidered and redefined. Indeed, there is a real behavioral problem among the people of Yaoundé and even in many other large Cameroonian cities. This article is therefore a reading of the behavior of the people of Yaoundé under the prism of the anthropology of behavior or deviance. The aim is to revisit the notion of civic-mindedness and its understanding among the latter in order to achieve the “denormalization of the gap”. The author lays the groundwork for a post-modernist marker requiring the overcoming of feelings of belonging and the liberticidal character of public space for the construction of the civic bases necessary for the development of urban space and its maintenance in the large cities of Cameroon, in Yaoundé.
