Abstract:
There is no other theme in precolonial Benin Kingdom studies around which so many lances have been broken as that of consolidation of the present-day Second (Oba) dynasty and the person of its founder Oranmiyan (Oranyan in Yoruba). The main reason for this is the existence of considerable disagreements between numerous Bini and Yoruba versions of the oral historical tradition. Besides this, the story of Oranmiyan is one of the Bini and Yoruba oral history pages most tightly connected with mythology. This fact becomes especially important if one takes into account that the oral tradition is no

Abstract:
Whole Soyinka’s Death and the King’s Horseman is the convergence of two issues: the first focuses on the Yoruba priest Elesin, who represents the embodiment of the mythology and the history of the people; the second concentrates on the “sterile, existential wasteland” (Ralph-Bowman, 1983) of the white colonialists. The two issues come into conflict in the sacrifice of Elesin’s European-educated son, Olunde, whose death represents a significant and uncom promising affirmation of Yoruba cultural tradition. The sacrifice ofolunde, though appears as metaphysical, is entirely secular and practical.

Abstract:
AbstractThe article shows that in Yoruba mythology Erinle is a male hunter who is named after (or associated with) an elephant and who-for diverse reasons-is finally transformed into a water-spirit. In his cult Erinle is mainly venerated as a river-god who, like the river goddesses Qsun and Yemoya, blesses his followers with children. In the iconography of his cult, however, the material symbols of a Yoruba water-spirit (terra-cotta pots with water and pebbles from the river: fans) are mixed with those that refer to the hunter and the symbol-complex of the god of iron and of the wilderness (ir

Abstract:
Nigerian writer Femi Osofisan’s new version of Euripides' The Trojan Women, is an African retelling of the Greek tragedy. In Women of Owu (2004), Osofisan relocates the action of Euripides' classical drama outside the walls of the defeated Kingdom of Owu in nineteenth century Yorubaland, what is now known as Nigeria. In a “Note on the Play’s Genesis”, Osofisan refers to the correspondences between the stories of Owu and Troy. He explains that Women of Owu deals with the Owu War, which started when the allied forces of the southern Yoruba kingdoms Ijebu and Ife, together with recruited mercenar

Abstract:
Femi Osofisan belongs to the new breed of writers, inadequately referred to as ‘second generation’. An accomplished writer whose works include plays, poems, essays and novels, Osofisan is widely regarded as the most significant playwright in Africa after Soyinka. As a committed playwright, Osofisan focuses on the reappraisal of his immediate society and the challenges of living in this society. He calls attention to all that is undesirable in the politics, economy, and religion of contemporary Nigeria and asks for a change of attitude which, hopefully, will bring sanity to the country.

Abstract:
Cette thèse porte sur la description d'une forme théâtrale que les habitants du sud-ouest du Nigeria appellent le Yoruba théâtre. Le point focal de mon analyse est une pièce intitulée odu-ifa. Cette pièce a été représentée le 12 février 1998 au national théâtre à Lagos. Ce genre théâtral représente sur scène des motifs littéraires tirés de la mythologie yoruba. Odu-ifa est le lieu de la production d'une construction identitaire. Cette construction est inhérente au nationalisme culturel yoruba. Cette construction relève d'une fiction du type culture. Elle est le résultat d'un certain assemblage
