Proverbial and talling among the Agni : factors of social and cultural cohesion
Among the Agni, tales and proverbs are the means, for excellence, of education and social cohesion,
and are imbued with their culture. Through a socio-critical and thematic analysis, it is necessary to
understand the functioning of these oral arts among this people. The study shows that the two genres
manifest peace, love, living together, solidarity, and many other normative values that are important
to promote and popularize in an individualistic and wicked world. Speech, the backbone of this study,
is displayed and forms the basis of all societal actions. Everything is conceived by it and with it.
Without speech, everything becomes vile and inactive. This is why, through it, Man must learn and
understand the phenomena and problems that undermine societies in order to rebuild a stronger,
fairer world where equity, truth, transparency, respect, and love for one's neighbor take precedence
above all else
