Résumé anglais Haroun Jamous : Political participation and cultural conflicts in the Congo. The article analyses some results of an inquiry made in Kinshasa (ex-Leopoldville) three months before the independance. Its purpose was on the one hand, to reveal the perception and representation of the present and future in connection with the idea of independance, on the other hand, to define its chief determining factors. The dependant variable examined is 'political participation' which the author tries to measure by Guttmanian type techniques. The treatment of the answers reveals two dimensions of political participation, which combined, suggest four types of political reaction to the historical moment represented by pre-independance. Multivaried analysis suggests a typology of 'cultural conflicts' as independant variable or principal determinant of these different political activities. To conclude, the author shows how the explanatory schematisation could help to explain more recent facts and to grasp better the problems of the search for Congolese unity.
