Extractions: Understanding Narrative The Praise Song Cultural Borrowing Objects of Power ... In and Out of Context The second part of this introductory essay consists of conversations between the authors. Bourgeois and Rodolitz have team-taught a web-based course on this subject for more than five years utilizing a dialogue medium that lends itself to immediacy and informality. Essays in the usual sense speak TO the reader; dialogue, however, allows the reader to participate, if only in an imaginary sense. Additionally, in the medium of dialogue, the evolution of thought is more apparent than in an edited essay. Often, the journey to a conclusion is as important as the conclusion itself. The reader is encouraged to join in this ongoing exploration. AB: Why don't we begin by considering a group of related objects, not necessarily related by culture but by function?

Extractions: This is literally a carved wooden and natural pigment painted image of a man who was hung until dead. As I understand it, this type of image was used by the Mbole (Zaire) as a teaching tool for youngsters ie to show them graphically what can happen when you break the rules. It came to me from a collection in Maryland. It is in excellent vintage condition without any breaks or restoration. There is wear to the pigments that is to be expected. It measures 28" in height. Respectfully, Daniel The dramatic, abstracted form surmounted by a rarely seen, human, janiform face image. The Nupe have had strong Muslim influence from their neighbors, the Fulani. Muslim belief forbids figurative elements. Perhaps this post was protected from public view and consequently had powerful meaning to its owner. From the Niger River Region, Nigeria. Circa 1950's.

Extractions: The Netherlands Introduction Swahili text and English translation Introduction The document that follows was recorded in Lubumbashi on September 30, 1974 (at about the same time as the conversations with Tshibumba Kanda Matulu ). Because the text will be part of a book-project planned for 2005-6, it is deposited in Archives without a commentary. Kahenga Mukonkwa Michel, a native speaker of Hemba but also fluent in Katanga Swahili and French, gave is profession as muganga ya miti . He had been consulted for problems of health and security and our exchange turned around the work he had performed. Kahenga also offered general remarks and explanations regarding herbal medicine and sorcery, identification of diseases and medicines, on his clients and patients, and on his life history. For reasons that will be discussed in detail in the book the recording posed more problems of transcription and translation than other texts. The standards adopted for the presentation of this document are generally the same as those used elsewhere in Archives of Popular Swahili (see the remarks formulated in the

African Masks African peoples often symbolize death by the colour white rather than Having conquered the indigenous peoples, the Lunda gradually assimilated with them http://www.vub.ac.be/BIBLIO/nieuwenhuysen/african-art/african-art-collection-mas
Extractions: (of variable age, artistic quality, and degree of authenticity) Many African societies see masks as mediators between the living world and the supernatural world of the dead, ancestors and other entities. Masks became and still become the attribute of a dressed up dancer who gave it life and word at the time of ceremonies. The sculptor begins by cutting a piece of wood and leaving it to dry in the sun; if it cracks, it cannot be used for a mask. African sculptors see wood as a complex living material and believe each piece can add its own feature to their work. Having made certain the wood is suitable, the sculptor begins, using an azde to carve the main features, a chisel to work on details and a rough leaf to sand the piece.

African Art and Architecture I. Introduction African Art and Architecture , the art and architecture of the peoples of the African continent, from prehistoric times to the 21st century. II. Origins and Sources Art in Africa has found expression in a range of media from architecture, sculpture, and pottery, to music, dance, textiles, body adornment, and epic poetry. Each of these has its own complex and in many cases unresearched local history of stylistic development. griots, or bards. The combination of these various sources, together with inferences drawn from late 19th- and 20th-century data, has allowed scholars to identify what appear to be some of the major building blocks of a history of art in each of the regions of sub-Saharan Africa, but it is clear that many questions remain to be answered. An African response to the earliest European presence in West Africa is apparent in the depiction of European merchants and soldiers in the cast brass plaques made in the 16th century in Benin, as well as the finely carved ivory salt cellars and hunting horns brought back by sailors from Kongo, Benin, and the coast of Sierra Leone. Increasing European involvement on the African continent over the following centuries has had a far-reaching impact that continues to be felt today. It would, however, be a denial of the creative agency of African artistic responses to changing circumstances to see this impact as wholly negative.
Extractions: Courtesy Zaire National Tourism Office A square-shaped thatched roof hut, typical of the Kasai-Oriental Region, provides shelter against the heavy rains. Extending across much of the southern savanna east of the middle reaches of the Kasai River are the Tshiluba- and Kilubaspeaking peoples. (Kiluba is the language of the Luba-Katanga as distinct from Tshiluba, the language spoken by the Luba-Kasai.) Vansina distinguishes three clusters: the Luba-Katangacomprising the Luba-Katanga proper, the Kaniok, the Kalundwe, and the Lomotwa; the Luba-Kasaicomprising the Luba-Kasai proper, the Lulua, the Luntu, the Binji, the Mputu, and the North Kete; and the Songye comprising the Songye proper and the Bangu-Bangu. losely related to the Luba-Katanga and living to their east are the Hemba, separately distinguished chiefly because, unlike the others, they are matrilineal. All of these peoples appear to have shared a tradition of chieftainship, but it was among the Luba-Katanga that more complex centralized states emerged as early as the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Elsewhere, the people and territory over which a chief ruled were much more restricted, and even among the Luba-Katanga local chiefs had a substantial degree of autonomy.
