Extractions: See also Eastern Africa Guinea Coast Southern Africa , and Western and Central Sudan The British ban on the international slave trade and the development of Arab-Swahili caravan routes from eastern Africa shifts the trade in slaves to the east. In western Central Africa, heightened demand for local African products such as ivory, wax, and rubber allows previously subjugated or isolated peoples such as the Chokwe to rise to economic prominence and displace traditional powers such as the far-flung Lunda and Luba states . Further east, the Arab-Swahili trade also deprives these polities of the trade on which they are dependent. The emergence of numerous small-scale chiefdoms results in the production of new forms of ornate and luxurious courtly arts across Central Africa. Elsewhere, extended periods of migration in present-day Gabon and political consolidation in modern Cameroon lead to the development of new forms of funerary and courtly art. The European partition of Africa in 1884 provides state support for German, Belgian, English, and Portuguese expeditions into Central Africa that supply newly created ethnographic museums and geographic societies with specimens of material culture from the region.

Extractions: Description When works from equatorial Africa in this refined style began to enter Western consciousness in the early twentieth century, they were a great enigma to art critics. Many speculated about the sources of their exotic aesthetic and even proposed possible Asian influence, though the art form was in fact indigenous to southern Gabon. Such masks as this are worn by virtuosic male performers of a stilt dance called mukudj , which involves towering impressively while executing complex choreography and astonishing feats of acrobatics. The creator of a mukudj mask attempts to capture the likeness of the most beautiful woman in his community. The subject of this particular idealized and stylized portrait was embellished in classic nineteenth-century fashion with a coiffure composed of a central lobe and two lateral tresses and with cicatrization motifs on the forehead and temples. Kaolin taken from riverbeds, which was associated with healing and with a spiritual, ancestral realm of existence, was applied to the surface of the face. By using this material, the artist both celebrated the beauty of a mortal woman and transformed her into a transcendent being. (Entry written by Alisa LaGamma)

The works from Africa selected for the current "Recent Acquisitions" installation on view in the Michael C. Rockefeller Wing (May 22-October 28) reflect an appreciation for the breadth, diversity, and vitality of the continent's cultural heritage. Since the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, sculptural traditions in wood from sub-Saharan Africa have been the focus of African-art collecting in the West. While the exceptional accomplishments of African sculptors in representing the human form through wood sculpture continue to be the focus of collections such as that of the Metropolitan Museum, there has been a growing appreciation of other forms of artistic expression in recent decades.

Correspondence is welcome and contributions will be given sympathetic consideration. (All correspondence to The Editor, Department of Anthropology, Research School of Pacific Studies, ANU, Canberra, ACT 0200, Australia.) This is the twentieth issue of the Newsletter, marking five years of the Thai-Yunnan Project. With limited resources we have, perhaps, not done too badly. Without doubt the major contribution of the project has been the Newsletter which now has a growing circulation of over 400. Given our resources this is perhaps about our limit. But, we have emphasized over the the years, that we have no objection to the copying and further distribution of the Newsletter and its contents. All we request is that due acknowledgement is given. This is the first issue which is being published with financial support from the National Thai Studies Centre and this support means we can guarantee publication till the end of 1994. Over the last few issues we have also had to exercise greater editorial control over space. Contributions come in at a very reasonable rate and our printers, let alone our finances, enforce limits over the size of each issue. Nevertheless, contributions are always very welcome, though there may be a slightly longer delay than in the past before they can be published.

Extractions: By Director, UNESCO World Heritage Centre S ince the inscription on the first site on the World Heritage List in 1978, the authorities and local people in the States Parties have celebrated the inscription of WH properties in different, often imaginative ways. In most cases, there is a ceremony which consists of the unveiling a "World Heritage plaque". Last December, at its meeting in Berlin, the World Heritage Committee added 29 cultural and natural properties to the World Heritage List. This was celebrated by people in all regions of the world. The people of the Republic of Korea gathered, at simultaneous ceremonies, tho honor the inclusion of the first three Korean sites on the WH List: Sokkuram Buddisht Grotto, HaeinsAtemple Changgyong P'ango, the Depositories for the Tripitaka Koreana Woodblocks and Chongmyo Shrine. These sites, representing important moments in Korean history, have profound associations with religious beliefs, folklore, music, dance, and other cultural values. Church bells chimed this past December in Sintra, Portugal, following the decision of the Committee to recognize the World Heritage status of this outstanding site - the first European cultural landscape on the List. At the same time, the Hanseatic Town of Visby, in Sweden, celebrated the good news of World Heritage recognition by a public fireworks display.

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.
