Abstract: (french)
La naissance des jumeaux chez le peuple Songye est à l'origine d'un rite particulier estimé nécessaire pour garantir leur croissance ainsi qu'une vie stable dans toute la famille. Ce rite constitue un moment particulier du point de vue conception de la grossesse, accouchement, repas de nouveau-nés, sortie de la maternité, la vie dans la cour ou en famille ainsi que l'intronisation de ces enfants dans la vie communautaire.
Cette étude est réalisée en République Démocratique du Congo (RDC), dans la province de Lomami, territoire de Lubao, secteur de Tshofa. La méthode d'enquête soutenue par la technique d'interview non structurée dans une approche de la tradition orale a servi de cadre pour obtenir les informations nécessaires.
