El camino de los lenguajes asociativos en Mauritania: la diversidad cultural como instrumento

This article seeks to discuss – using the specific context of Mauritania – the uses of culture in the social life of youths. The objective is to introduce a discussion relating to the way in which culture is understood outside of anthropology, i.e., as an instrument that is used discursively by different agents in the public arena and
in so-called civil society.
