LES SCARIFICATIONS ETHNIQUES EN AFRIQUE

Depuis des siècles, les scarifications ethniques visibles sur le corps et le visage des membres des tribus africaines font partie de leur culture.

Qu'est ce que la scarification? : La scarification est une pratique consistant à effectuer une incision superficielle de la peau humaine.
La scarification sociale a une origine ancienne. On la trouve couramment pratiquée en Afrique (particulièrement en Afrique de l'Ouest) où elle a remplacé le tatouage qui se distingue mal sur les peaux sombres.
La scarification sociale revêt une signification particulière, rituel de passage à l’âge adulte ou appartenance à un groupe restreint. Elle s'effectue à l'aide d'outils coupants tels que des morceaux de pierre, de verre, de coque de noix de coco, de couteaux.

N.B : l'image : Est du Congo. Femme avec des "cicatrices de beautés".
