Résumé
L’article présente les conceptions que les populations démunies de la Province Ouest de Mashonaland ont de la pauvreté. Il cherche à élargir les points de vue sur la pauvreté en s’appuyant sur la définition qu’en donne les personnes démunies, à partir de leurs propres perspectives. Un cadre de cause à effet pour l’analyse de la pauvreté est proposé ainsi que l’introduction de la notion de ‘enclavité’ au sein d’une famille en pleine discussion sur la pauvreté. Ce sont là deux contributions majeures du présent document. La recherche propose qu’en raison de la pauvreté qui s’intensifie, les gens se créent des enclaves de protec- tion autour des relations mari/femme comme nouvelle forme de survie/collectivité dans un contexte où les démunis souffrent du manque de biens, de la morale, mais aussi souffrent des réseaux qui s’effritent pour cause de pauvreté. Les résultats de l’étude montrent que, comme énoncé autre part, la pauvreté a plusieurs facettes. Ce qui entraîne une certaine confluence de conceptions.
