Manga Bekombo : Brazzaville at Congolese television time.
The inauguration of the Congolese television gave us the opportunity to witness the confrontation of two civilizations : one, called traditional, the other characterised as modern. The passing from a traditional technique (percussion) to a scientific technique of mass communication (Radio-television) requires an effort of adaptation on the part of the Congolese autochtone. Television, stripped of its proper science, is integrated into a magic system, traditional, in the sense that it allows a sort of dialogue between an absent person and yourself (audience) ; the communication it ensures is not only a message, but also that of a witch, whose power extends at a distance over its subject. The image and the sound are situated in a conflict where words are practically always the loosers : with the flow of images, the autochtone tells his own tale. But the conflict between the image and its supporting commentary ceases as soon as the set image-sound evokes the spectator's own life. This confirms the widespread idea that a common knowledge is necessary between the message sender and the receiver. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
