We consider them to be neither exceptional nor inconceivable within the general framework of social sciences. Our approach is that Africa, far from being a 'cultural sphere', forms an area of empirical scientifi analysis and a specific point of insertion into the world economy. Africa is a tool like any other for considering generalities and for improving our understanding of realities that are very different and yet follow the same broad tendencies.

Offering an analysis inspired by Louis Marin's theory on power in its representation, the author illustrates her analysis through the portrait of a vodun leader with a view to escape from a functionalist analysis of occult power or syncretism. With the baroque mirror metaphor conceived as a device, which underscores what it is that connects heterogeneous practices, Tall describes what is shown in the rituals and practices of a vodun leader and emphasizes the centrality of the transubstantiation phenomenon in the production of a community of believers.
