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?

From: Ohio State University Fractals provide unusual theme in much African culture and art COLUMBUS, Ohio In everything from braided hairstyles to the design of housing settlements, the geometric structures known as fractals permeate African culture. In a new book, an Ohio State University scholar examines the unlikely pairing of this mathematical concept and the culture and art of Africa. "While fractal geometry is often used in high-tech science, its patterns are surprisingly common in traditional African designs," said Ron Eglash, senior lecturer in comparative studies in the humanities. Eglash is author of African Fractals: Modern Computing and Indigenous Design (Rutgers University Press, 1999). Eglash said his work suggests that African mathematics is more complex than previously thought. He also says using African fractals in U.S. classrooms may boost interest in math among students, particularly African Americans. He has developed a Web page to help teachers use fractal geometry in the classroom. www.cohums.ohio-state.edu/comp/eglash.dir/afract al.htm

'Legions of corner grills serve up great gyros or burgers. The genius at Lincoln Town Gyros who decided to combine the two should get a key to the city. While a third-of-a-pound burger sizzles on the grill, the counterman slices off a good six or seven strips of gyro meat from the round. On request, he places these next to the grilling burger to give the gyro a little extra char. The patty is then placed on a bun, topped with tomato, onion, pickle and a ladle of cheese sauce (or a slice of American or Swiss). Finally, saints be praised, the counterman crowns the works with the gyro strips and gyro sauce ... '
