Download or read book Body and Affect in the Intercultural Encounter written by Devisch, Rene and published by Langaa RPCIG. This book was released on 2017-01-17 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume draws from René Devisch’s encounters with groups in southsaharan Africa, primarily. The author had the privilege to immerse himself, around the clock, in the Yakaphones’ activities and thoughts in southwest DR Congo from 1972 to 1974, and intermittently in Kinshasa’s shanty towns, from 1986 to 2003. The author first examines what sparked his choice to come to Congo, and then to pursue research among the Yakaphones in the borderland with Angola. He then invites us to follow the trajectory of his plural anthropological view on today’s multicentric world. It leads us to his praise for honorary doctor Jean-Marc Ela’s work. He then examines the proletarian outbursts of violence that rocked Congo’s major cities in 1991 and 1993. These can be read as a settling of scores with the disillusioning colonial and missionary modernisation, along with president Mobutu’s millenarian Popular Movement of the Revolution. Furthermore, after considering the morose reduction of a major Yaka dancing mask into a mere museum-bound curio in Antwerp, the book unravels the Yakaphones’ perspectives on spirits and sorcery’s threat. It also analyses their commitment to classical Bantu-African healing cults, along with their parallel consulting physicians and healers. By sharing the Yakaphones’ life-world, the analysis highlights their body-group-world weave, interlaced by the principle of co-resonance. A phenomenological and perspectivist look unfolds the local actors’ views, thereby disclosing the Bantu-African genius and setting for a major reversal of perspectives. Indeed, seeing 'here' from 'there' allows the author to uncover some alienating dynamics at work in his native Belgian Flemish-speaking culture. To better grasp the realm of life beyond the speakable and factual reasoning, the approach occasionally turns to the later Lacan’s focus on the unconscious desire, the body and its affects. The book addresses students and researchers in the humanities and, more broadly, all those immersed in the heat of the encounter with the culturally different.

Book excerpt: This is the story of the life of a man who was a force to reckon with. He moved past frontiers seen at the time and embraced new horizons that has left a truly compelling legacy. Udo Akpabio was a man of many parts. A warrior, symbol of the indomitable spirit of the Annang people of Nigeria, charismatic leader and successful businessman yet finding time to carry out his duties as the patriarch of one of the largest and most influential family stock in South-South Nigeria. Set in the late nineteenth century and through the colonial era, this book tells the story of a man who dared where others dread. The dim circumstances of his early childhood did not deter his ambition to turn around his fortune. Rising above the temptous phase of his early adult life, he attained the highest traditional stool of the Annang people. He was a bridge between the British and the indigenous people, and acting on intriguing insight, Udo Akpabio, steered the affairs of his people and was able to strike a delicate balance between age-long traditions and westernization.
