520 |a The "Letagonins": a concept socially constructed to designate the "beating" women of Ivorian society, evokes those who have as their leitmotif, a self-realization through work. The purpose lies in their ability to free themselves from male domination. This concept means in one of the local Ivorian languages, notably the Gouro[1]: female boy. These women of Gouro ethnicity show a deep passion for the marketing of food products in Abidjan. However, behind this passion for food is their commitment to funeral expenses; a cultural activity customary lying with agnatic parentage. The transgression of custom by the latter under the prism of their social repositioning is the symbolic manifestation of the destandardization of the traditional relationship between man and woman in the organization of funerals in Gouro country, in the central West Ivorian. Understanding this relational reconfiguration has fuelled our passion as a researcher. In fact, ethnography has been mobilized as a method of observing the funeral practices of these women. In this regard, the study traces the strategies for negotiating access to the land as well as those used to negotiate access to information.
