En 1880, un événement bouleverse l’histoire des Congolais : l’explorateur franco-italien Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza se rend à Mbé et signe avec le roi Makoko, grand chef des Batéké un traité de protectorat. Cet acte ouvre la voie à la colonisation française et inscrit ce village dans la mémoire collective, non seulement pour cette signature historique, mais aussi pour la richesse de son patrimoine culturel et naturel, qui a survécu aux tumultes des siècles suivants. Ce mémoire explore la création d’un écomusée à Mbé, envisagé comme un outil innovant de valorisation et de transmission du patrimoine. Il analyse comment ce projet peut contribuer à sauvegarder savoirs, pratiques et lieux emblématiques, tout en dynamisant la communauté locale et en prévenant les dérives de la touristification. La recherche interroge enfin la capacité de l’écomusée à transformer l’espace social en conciliant développement durable, participation citoyenne et préservation identitaire.

Abstract
In 1880, an event shook the history of the Congolese people: the Franco-Italian explorer Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza travelled to Mbé and signed a protectorate treaty with King Makoko, the great chief of the Batéké. This act paved the way for French colonisation and ensured that this village would remain in the collective memory, not only for this historic signing, but also for the richness of its cultural and natural heritage, which survived the turmoil of the following centuries. This thesis explores the creation of an ecomuseum in Mbé, envisaged as an innovative tool for promoting and transmitting heritage. It analyses how this project can contribute to safeguarding knowledge, practices and emblematic places, while revitalising the local community and preventing the excesses of touristification. Finally, the research questions the ecomuseum’s ability to transform the social space by reconciling sustainable development, citizen participation and the preservation of identity.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
