Abstract EN:
The first part presents the genesis of the political organisation and the political phenomena within the parenthood system and the etatic system. The historical study of the political system is trying to enhance sociological and political contradictions, oppositions and conflicts that were operating and consequently dimistifies the mysticism of the "traditional" unanimity. The tutelary stability and harmony which were meant to be the fundamental characteristics of the precolonial and colonial tem society. The analysis of the parenthood and the etatic system is trying to show that unlike what has always been said, structures of parenthood and the state framework are not antinomic. Presently one can notice that in the tem society, parenthood organisation rests upon divisions, in fact, inequality rapports and subordination are appearing and the parenthood hierarchy generates political relationships based upon the principle of descendant. The study of the tem society shows that parenthood and the political system are be no means antinomic but, on the other hand, closely linked and complementary. Besides, the study of the etatic system witness that the state framework and the ex one-party system whose aims were to figth against physiological, sociological and economical disorders and, who also stand as the promotors of unity and national solidarity, actually, rely upon a reductive & mechanistic concept of the society. They enhance differenciations and sociological and economical antagonism. . .

Cette these deux parties: la premiere partie etudie le genese de l'organisation politique, les phenomenes politiques au sein de la parente et le systeme etatique. L'etude historique du systeme politique essaye de mettre evidence les contradictions, oppositions et donflits sociopolitiques qui y etaient en oeuvre et demythifie par voie de consequence la mystique de l'unanimite "traditionnelle", de la stabilite et de l'harmonie tutelaire qui auraient ete les caracteristiques fondamentales de la societe tem pre-coloniale et coloniale; l'analyse de la parente et du systeme etatique tente de demontrer que contrairement a ce qui est communement admis, structures de parente et etat ne sont pas antinomiques. A y regarder de plus pres, on constate qu'en pays tem, l'organisation lignagere repose sur des divisions, en somme des rapports d'inegalite et de subordination et que l'ordre de la parente genere des relations politiques qui ont pour fondement, le principe de descendance. L'etude de l'etat tem montre que parente et systeme etatique ne sont pas antagonistes mais sont au contraire etroitement lies et complementaires. Par ailleurs, l'analyse du systeme etatique prouve que l'etat et l'ex-parti unique qui se sont fixes comme objectif la lutte contre le desordre physiologique, socio-economique et qui se posent comme les promoteurs de l'unite et de la solidarite nationales, s'appuient en realite, sur une conception reductrice et mecaniste de la societe; suscitent des differenciations et des antagonismes socio-politiques qui participent en fait de leur reproduction. La seconde partie examine le systeme therapeutique tem.
