Abstract
Some Africans more specifically some dagara, no more want nowadays that their future husbands pay the traditional dowry. Their parents think the contrary. The absence of these social principles deprives this human association of its title of sacred union. Certain antagonisms of the two different worlds appear of which one is inclined to westernization and the other to africanization. This tensive atmosphere led us to the reflection on ‘The dagara dowry’. The problem that it creates is expressed by these terms: be known, explained, well interpreted to the service of the two rival parties. That is the reason of the following sub-titles:”The hermeneutic and intermedial implications”. Our exegetics is based on the behavioral semiotic of the signs and the dagara oral discourses.
