%X In this short article, the authors present a brief and clear-cut account of the relationship between the Dogon cosmogony and their social organization in terms of a discussion of certain institutions and concepts -- the myths, the man, the tribe, kinship, the territorial organization, the homestead, the Hogon (the clothing, the homestead, the economic functions of the Hogon), totemism, technology (iron-work and weaving) and international alliances. Apparently all the data discussed in this paper are based on their fieldwork.
