Abstract
(en) [Amerindian Identity and Do-It-Yourself Symbolic System: Case Studies about the Jesuit Missionaries to the Ojibwa Amerindians during the Nineteenth Century]. Analyzing the adaptation to Christianity by the Anishinaabek of the North American Great Lakes region in the xixth and xxth Centuries, the author describes two cases of figures of do-it-yourself symbolic system of the representations reported by the missionaries sources. Thus reviewed, the accounts of conversion like hyper-hybrids symbols, and the path of the Dead Indians like prototype of a christianization of imaginary, and consequently base of Indian resistance. On this empirical basis the author advances some elements of theorization on the individual processes of symbolic do-it-yourself.
