Download or read book Ewe St mme written by Jakob Spieth and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2011 with total page 982 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ewe of Ghana, Togo and Benin have been one of the most documented ethnic groups in West Africa, given their encounters with the German, French and British colonial administrations. In 1906, Jakob Spieth, a German Bremen Missionary, published Die Ewe-Stamme. Die Ewe-Stamme is one of the most comprehensive treatises on the history, religion, economic life, traditional social structure, and, indeed, the entire spectrum of everyday life of the Ewe. Published over 100 years ago the book had limited circulation and became increasingly rare to the extent that it almost became a deified piece of work and source of classified knowledge. Additionally, Die Ewe-Stamme was published in German and old non-standard and colloquial Ewe languages. It is hoped this translation of Die Ewe-Stamme into English and contemporary Ewe might create a revival of interest amongst researchers, enhance the understanding for the traditional Ewe culture and become reading material in schools and universities.

Download or read book Female Voices from an Ewe Dance drumming Community in Ghana written by James M. Burns and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2009 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Burns provides a detailed ethnography of a group of female musicians from the Dzigbordi community dance-drumming club from the rural town of Dzodze, located in South-Eastern Ghana. Dzigbordi is part of a genre known as adekede, or female songs of redress, where women musicians critique gender relations in society. Burns uses audio and video interviews, recordings of rehearsals and performances and detailed collaborative analyses of song texts, dance routines and performance practice to address important methodological shifts in ethnomusicology that outline a more humanistic perspective of music cultures. The book will appeal to those interested in African Studies, Gender Studies and Oral Literature, as well as ethnomusicology and includes a DVD documentary.

Download or read book Culture and the Senses written by Prof. Kathryn Geurts and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2003-01-09 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adding her stimulating and finely framed ethnography to recent work in the anthropology of the senses, Kathryn Geurts investigates the cultural meaning system and resulting sensorium of Anlo-Ewe-speaking people in southeastern Ghana. Geurts discovered that the five-senses model has little relevance in Anlo culture, where balance is a sense, and balancing (in a physical and psychological sense as well as in literal and metaphorical ways) is an essential component of what it means to be human. Much of perception falls into an Anlo category of seselelame (literally feel-feel-at-flesh-inside), in which what might be considered sensory input, including the Western sixth-sense notion of "intuition," comes from bodily feeling and the interior milieu. The kind of mind-body dichotomy that pervades Western European-Anglo American cultural traditions and philosophical thought is absent. Geurts relates how Anlo society privileges and elaborates what we would call kinesthesia, which most Americans would not even identify as a sense. After this nuanced exploration of an Anlo-Ewe theory of inner states and their way of delineating external experience, readers will never again take for granted the "naturalness" of sight, touch, taste, hearing, and smell.

Download or read book The Grammatical Units of Ewe written by Gilbert Ansre and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thesis deals with the grammar of the Ewe (correctly, and henceforth, Eve) language in terms of Scale and Category linguistic theory. It has two main sections: an Introduction and the Grammatical Description. The Introduction is in three parts. First, a discussion of previous work in the field of Eve grammar which is intended to make obvious the need for a fresh look at the subject. Second, a brief summary of the theoretical presuppositions on which the analysis is based - Scale and Category theory. Third, a summary statement of those phonological features of Hue which are pertinent to the grammatical description presented here. The Grammatical Description constitutes the main body of the thesis. The grammatical units found necessary and adequate to describe Eve are the Sentence, Clause, Group, Word and Morpheme. Chapters 1, 2 and 3 deal with the Units Sentence, Clause and Group respectively. Chapter k deals with the Units Word and Morpheme. A formal definition is attempted for each of the units and their structures are described in terms of their constituent elements (except for the Morpheme which has no grammatical structure) and the exponents of each are given. Where relevant (i.e. in the Clause, Group, Word and Morpheme but not in the Sentence), the various classes and sub-classes that operate at the places in these structures are described and exemplified to varying degrees of delicacy. The systems operating at the ranks of Sentence, Clause and Group are summarised at the end of the discussion of these units. The grammatical description is summed up in a brief concluding remark. The thesis closes with a selected bibliography of relevant works in General Linguistics on the one hand and of Eve grammar on the other.
