Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even within anthropology, a discipline that strives to overcome misrepresentations of peoples and cultures, colonialist depictions of the so-called Dark Continent run deep. The grand narratives, tribal tropes, distorted images, and “natural” histories that forged the foundations of discourse about Africa remain firmly entrenched. In Beyond Words, Andrew Apter explores how anthropology can come to terms with the “colonial library” and begin to develop an ethnographic practice that transcends the politics of Africa’s imperial past. The way out of the colonial library, Apter argues, is by listening to critical discourses in Africa that reframe the social and political contexts in which they are embedded. Apter develops a model of critical agency, focusing on a variety of language genres in Africa situated in rituals that transform sociopolitical relations by self-consciously deploying the power of language itself. To break the cycle of Western illusions in discursive constructions of Africa, he shows, we must listen to African voices in ways that are culturally and locally informed. In doing so, Apter brings forth what promises to be a powerful and influential theory in contemporary anthropology.

Download or read book Doomi Golo The Hidden Notebooks written by Boubacar Boris Diop and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first novel to be translated from Wolof to English, Doomi Golo—The Hidden Notebooks is a masterful work that conveys the story of Nguirane Faye and his attempts to communicate with his grandson before he dies. With a narrative structure that beautifully imitates the movements of a musical piece, Diop relates Faye’s trauma of losing his only son, Assane Tall, which is compounded by his grandson Badou’s migration to an unknown destination. While Faye feels certain that his grandson will return one day, he also is convinced that he will no longer be alive by then. Faye spends his days sitting under a mango tree in the courtyard of his home, reminiscing and observing his surroundings. He speaks to Badou through his seven notebooks, six of which are revealed to the reader, while the seventh, the “Book of Secrets,” is highly confidential and reserved for Badou’s eyes only. In the absence of letters from Badou, the notebooks form the only possible means of communication between the two, carrying within them tunes and repetitions that give this novel its unusual shape: loose and meandering on the one hand, coherent and tightly interwoven on the other. Translated by Vera Wülfing-Leckie and El Hadji Moustapha Diop.

Download or read book Le roman ouest africain de langue fran aise written by Gandonou Albert and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2009-10-01 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On pourrait affirmer que la littérature de langue française ayant pour thème l'Afrique et ses hommes, si elle est africaine, l'est autant sous la plume des écrivains blancs que sous celle des écrivains noirs. Mais cette étude de langue et de style paraît démontrer amplement qu'il ne s'agirait , ni plus ni moins que de littérature française. L'ouvrage tente de redéfinir la littérature francophone négro-africaine sur des critères autres que ceux de l'idéologie et de la race. La grammaire, l'étude attentive du lexique et de la syntaxe, permettent de poser un regard plus objectif sur la partie de la littérature française qui concerne l'Afrique.

Download or read book Museum Culture written by Daniel J. Sherman and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Museums display much more than artifacts; Museum Culture makes us on a tour through the complex of ideas, values and symbols that pervade and shape the practice of exhibiting today. Bringing together a broad range of perspectives from history, art history, critical theory and sociology, the contributors to this new collection argue that museums have become a central institution and metaphor in contemporary society. Discussing exhibition histories and practice in Western Europe, the former Soviet Union, Israel and the United States, the authors explore the ways in which museums assign meaning to art through various kinds of exhibitions and display strategies, examining the political implications of these strategies and the forms of knowledge they invoke and construct. The collection also discusses alternative exhibition forms, the involvement of some museums with the more spectacular practices of mass media culture, and looks at how museums construct their public.

DANS LE CHAMP DES LITTERATURES FRANCOPHONES, SON ORIGINALITE N'A CESSE DE S'AFFIRMER COMME FRUIT D'UN TRAVAIL INTERTEXTUAL DE TYPE NOUVEAU : CODE APPARTENANT A LA SPHERE DE LA LITTERATURE ORALE ONT ETE GREFFES SUR CEUX DE L'ECRITURE ROMANESQUE CLASSIQUE. CE METISSAGE A ABOUTI A UNE ECRITURE NOVATRICE. APRES AVOIR SITUE CE GENRE DE ROMAN DANS SON CHAMP CULTUREL, DANS LA PERSPECTIVE DE SON HORIZON D'ATTENTE NOUS AVONS ANALYSE LES DIFFERENTES GREFFES DE LITTERATURE ORALE, TOUT CE QUI ETAIT PERCU COMME "ECART" PAR RAPPORT AUX NORMES DE L'ECRITURE EN FRANCAIS. ENSUITE, NOUS AVONS EXAMINE LE TRAVAIL INTERTEXTUEL PROPREMENT DIT POUR ECLAIRER LA PRODUCTION DU TEXTE ET SES ENJEUX. CETTE FOIS L'ACCENT A ETE MIS SUR LE METISSAGE DES CODES, SUR LA MANIERE DONT L'ECRITURE ABSORBE ET TRANSFORME LES FRAGMENTS DES DISCOURS ORAUX.

LE PRINCIPAL ENJEU DU TRAVAIL SUR LA FORME EST ESSENTIELLEMENT D'ORDRE CULTUREL.

Download or read book Infelicities written by Peter Mason and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Infelicities Peter Mason explores the texts, paintings, drawings, photographs, and museum displays in which the exotic has been represented from the early modern period to the present. He describes the unique iconography that Europeans developed to convey the exotic and the means they employed to display it once artifacts were brought to Europe. In both instances, the exotic object is taken out of its original context and given a meaning and significance it never had; this new meaning and significance, Mason argues, are derived from the imposition of European cultural values and the need to recontextualize the object in a European setting.
