Download or read book Community Archaeology and Heritage in Africa written by Peter R. Schmidt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-17 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides new insights into the distinctive contributions that community archaeology and heritage make to the decolonization of archaeological practice. Using innovative approaches, the contributors explore important initiatives which have protected and revitalized local heritage, initiatives that involved archaeologists as co-producers rather than leaders. These case studies underline the need completely reshape archaeological practice, engaging local and indigenous communities in regular dialogue and recognizing their distinctive needs, in order to break away from the top-down power relationships that have previously characterized archaeology in Africa. Community Archaeology and Heritage in Africa reflects a determined effort to change how archaeology is taught to future generations. Through community-based participatory approaches, archaeologists and heritage professionals can benefit from shared resources and local knowledge; and by sharing decision-making with members of local communities, archaeological inquiry can enhance their way of life, ameliorate their human rights concerns, and meet their daily needs to build better futures. Exchanging traditional power structures for research design and implementation, the examples outlined in this volume demonstrate the discipline’s exciting capacity to move forward to achieve its potential as a broader, more accessible, and more inclusive field.

Download or read book Literatures in African Languages written by B. W. Andrzejewski and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1985-11-21 with total page 678 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although African literatures in English and French are widely known outside Africa, those in the African languages themselves have not received comparable attention. In this book a number have been selected for survey by fourteen specialist writers, providing the reader with an introduction to this very wide field and a body of reference material which includes extensive bibliographies and biographical information on African authors. Theoretical issues such as genre divisions are discussed in the essays and the historical, social and political forces at work in the creation and reception of African literature are examined. Literature is treated as an art whose medium is language, so that both the oral and written forms are encompassed. This book will be of value not only to readers concerned with the cultures of Africa but to all those with an interest in the literary phenomena of the world in general.

Download or read book Literature and Film written by Dr. Dipsikha Bhagawati and published by Manda Publishers. This book was released on with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literature and film both carry forward narratives but the manner in which they do so are markedly different. If one were to use a metaphor from science one could say that in interpreting literature there is one degree of freedom more in that one is first translating the words into sensual data and then into meaning, whereas in cinema, the translation into imagery has already been done. When Grigori Kozintsev translates Shakespeare’s King Lear into the language of cinema, it is like the ‘word made flesh’. When the word has been made flesh, an idea has been given concrete shape and one could say that an idea at it source is superior as an artefact to be used or something to be consumed than the material object made out of it. This is the same way an unrealized intention is purer in every way than the intention carried out. On the other hand, many films are also superior to the literary sources they draw from, especially popular literature and I would cite The Godfather as an example. The reason is that popular literature often caters to the baser instincts through titillation and awakening the voyeuristic impulse while a serious work of cinema naturally refuses to exploit such opportunities. It is also possible that the literary source, in offering a profusion of words, would benefit through understatement. As an instance I would say that Dostoyevsky is one of the most excessive of great writers while Robert Bresson is among the sparest of filmmakers, which is perhaps why Bresson’s version of A gentle woman improves upon the writer. What is valuable about the book is the vast array of issues raised - directly or indirectly. Even when an issue has not been explicitly articulated there is always the sense to be got - of the deep probing that the subject deserves. It is with these questions in mind that I wish Dipsikha Bhagawati’s Literature and Film : From Mute to Motion all success.
