The Gan are based in the south-west region of Burkina Faso. For the Gan, every form of power is legitimized by its relation to a traditional and official state system of cults dedicated to a pantheon of supernatural entities, associated in particular with the spirits of the dead. The cult objects and symbols identifying these entities turn out to play a determining role in the procedures for relating the present to the past, to the point of constituting formidable “objects of memory”.
