SACROFEMININITY: Toward a Re-Sacralization of the Feminine in Postcolonial Societies[SACROFÉMINITÉ : Pour une re-sacralisation du féminin dans les sociétés postcoloniales]

This article introduces and theorizes the original concept of sacrofemininity as an epistemological and political paradigm that breaks with the limitations of dominant models of equality, empowerment, and emancipation. Rooted in African cosmologies, feminine spiritualities, and relational ontologies, the concept advocates for an ontological and civilizational revalorization of the feminine as a foundational matrix. At the crossroads of decolonial epistemologies, traditions of care, and symbolic sovereignties, sacrofemininity proposes a reconfiguration of meaning, institutions, and practices in postcolonial contexts. The article explores its theoretical foundations, practical implications, embodied figures, and critical controversies through an explicitly intersectional lens.
