Abstract
FRENCH ABSTRACT: La République Démocratique du Congo, vaste territoire logé au coeur de l’Afrique, a connu l’existence des Chefs et des Chefferies traditionnelles avant et après la colonisation. Avec le développement des villes une nouvelle façon de gouverner sera introduite avec des institutions impersonnelles. Dès lors, il s’avère important de comprendre comment des chef-feries qui se trouvent à l’intérieur de la ville s’y prennent-elles pour s’adapter à ce nouvel environnement urbain institutionnel. En plus dans ce milieu urbain institutionnel, comment les différentes institutions tradi-tionnelles s’adaptent-elles en interaction avec leurs équivalents urbains, et comment le fon-cier communal s’adapte-t-il face à la propriété privée et étatique dans la ville–capitale, Kinshasa ? Cependant, il est à noter que l’adaptation n’était pas uniforme (homogène) selon qu’on est dans la cité coloniale, dans la zone planifiée ou dans la zone périphérique de Kinshasa. Dans l’ancienne zone coloniale les institutions traditionnelles ont disparu et furent remplacées par des institutions étatiques urbaines modernes ; dans la zone planifiée elles ont perdu de leur autorité ; et à la périphérie elles cohabitent avec leurs équivalents modernes. Avec la création d’une institution nationale dénommée Alliance Nationale des Autorités Tra-ditionnelles du Congo (ANATC), celle-ci a offert à certains des chefs coutumiers dans la ville une possibilité de collaborer et de cohabiter avec les institutions étatiques modernes.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The Democratic Republic of Congo, a vast territory in the heart of Africa, has experi-enced the existence of traditional chiefs and chiefdoms before and after colonization. With the development of cities, a new way of governing with impersonal urban institutions has emerged. Accordingly, it is important to understand how chieftaincies within these cities are adapting to this new institutional urban environment. Within this institutional urban context, how do the different traditional institutions adapt in interaction with their urban equivalents, and how does communal land adapt to pri-vate and state property in the capital city, Kinshasa? It should be noted moreover that adapta-tion is not a uniform (homogeneous) process: its form depends upon whether institutions find themselves in the former colonial zone, in the new planned zone or in the peripheral zone of Kinshasa. In the former colonial zone, traditional institutions have disappeared and have been replaced by modern urban state institutions; in the planned zone, they have lost much of their authority; and in the periphery, they tend to coexist with their modern equivalents. With the creation of a national institution called the National Alliance of Traditional Authorities of Congo (ANATC), some of the traditional leaders in the city have been offered a statutory opportunity to collaborate and cohabit with modern state institutions.
