In this study, written in French, Dominique Casajus analyzes the world of the Kel Ferwan Tuareg, who roam beyond the gates of the old city of Agadez, moving their heavy tents of palm mats. The tent of the Kel Ferwan is held to be a replica of the cosmos; its circular base is analogous to the earth's circle, its spherical form recalls that of the celestial vault, and its four stakes are similar to the four pillars said to uphold the sky at the four corners of the earth. Long ago, God gave this design to the Tuareg, and ever since, their tents, always reconstructed according to this unchanging celestial model, have been passed down from the mother to daughter.
