Abstract:

The tribal life and the oral traditions of black South Africans have been marginalized. The consequence of the western civilization and the apartheid regime forced people to do away from their traditional heritage and culture; they adopted the western way of life. They buried their oral tradition and only a little has survived. To save the dying culture of the art of the oral tradition we need to go out and record and document the surviving oral tradition as soon as possible. Since the art of the oral tradition is an art form conducted by an artist, it may be possible to tell the ibali likaNon

Bibliography: pages 105-113.<br>This study is a description, from the vantage point of a participant observer, of the development of a new, and probably unique, method of writing, teaching and learning about an oral tradition - a method which is grounded in ways of knowing, thinking and learning inherent in that tradition. It arose in the course of a co-operative venture - between two lecturers in African Religion and myself - to write a text for South African schools on African Religion (sometimes called African Traditional Religion).

Abstract:

Oral traditions and oral literature have long contributed to human communication. The advent of arguably the most important technology, the written word, altered human ability to create and develop. However, this development for all its potential and scope created one of the most insidious dichotomies. As the written word developed so too the oral word became devalued and pushed to the fringes of societal development. One of the unfortunate outcomes has been a focus on the nomenclatures associated with orality and oral tradition, which although of importance, has skewed where the focus could a

Este trabalho tem como objetivo estudar as peculiaridades da tradição oral africana e suas influências na criação do jazz. Os africanos, sendo um povo onde sua cultura tem como principal característica enfatizar o emprego da oralidade na transmissão do conhecimento, o faz de forma muito distinta aos padrões culturais europeus. Sob a ótica do povo africano, a palavra expressa de forma oral possui um grande valor, sendo atribuído à mesma, um nível de relevância tamanho que chega a ser vista como um elemento místico capaz de criar ou até mesmo destruir.

Having grown up in this society where witchcraft beliefs are predominant, my fears, as a child, of witches were very real. In later life I have attempted to ignore these fears. However, I do not think they will ever disappear entirely, as I will never be able to extricate myself from my origins. This experience of the dangerous witch is one of the reasons that compelled me to respond pictorially to some of these perception

De nombreux Européens ont cherché à décrire les us et coutumes de ces populations.

Abstract:

Previous studies show that contrary to other African languages of fewer speakers, written poetry in Sepedi/Sesotho sa Leboa’s transition from oral to written did not only lag behind, its development was also slow, with less intense treatment. However, this scarcity is not of the actual oral material, but rather its documented version. Vast untreated material at various repositories such as the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) library and the International Library of African Music (ILAM) are facing a risk of being lost due to limited resources and resourcefulness to digitalise them

C'est-à-dire qu'en même temps qu'elle affirme l'évidence de ses liens culturels avec les traditions littéraires occidentales, elle revisite simultanément l'oralité ethnotextuelle énoncée par l'épopée, le mythe, le proverbe, le conte, la généalogie, le panégyrique ou encore la chanson.

The current models that we use in systemic family therapy came out of office/clinic-based practice. To date, there is no model specifically orientated to systemic family therapy in the home.

My interest in the area emerged from a position of ignorance – making assumptions that the tools used in the clinic could easily be colonised into a family’s home – but I found that the m

De nombreux travaux : memoires de maitrise et de dea, theses de doctorat et essais attestent avec brio cette realite culturelle. Ils font emerger et restaurent l'image des litteratures jusqu'alors meconnues sur l'echiquier international. Ces travaux s'appuient en general sur la tradition orale et offrent une vision poetique et esthetique pour peu qu'ils mettent en valeur les traits saillants de l'oralite. L'etude que nous presentons ici, souligne les donnees formelles de l'oralite et ses interference

Abstract:

Notre étude se veut une analyse qui traverse la sémiotique du sensible et la littérature africaine d’expression française. L’étude part, en effet, des sources orales épiques pour aboutir à l’analyse du sujet tensif par la circulation de l’objet valeur. C'est dire que notre analyse révèle la manière dont les valeurs associées aux pratiques et aux genres de l'oralité interfèrent dans les processus de communication et de perception des objets valeurs, et infléchissent leur réception et leur interprétation.Notre approche part de l’hypothèse que les formes de communications traditionnelles relèvent

Abstract:

Cette thèse s’est donné pour objectif de répondre à une question : la mythologie négro africaine, dont les textes tiennent essentiellement de l’oralité, peut-elle servir de support et/ou de substance à une écriture dramaturgique ? Pour y répondre, nous avons tenté - à partir de deux exemples, à savoir le mythe peul de Kaydara et un extrait de l’épopée fang du mvet de Zwè Nguéma - d’ouvrir des perspectives pour un éventuel travail de mise en forme théâtrale, à travers les articulations de l’intrigue de chaque récit. Nous en avons extrait les virtualités visuelles, sonores et corporelles suscept

Abstract:

Tout au long de notre recherche, nous avons prouvé que le griot est celui qui parvient à remonter le cours du temps par la parole. Ce qui permet aux historiens de refaire l’histoire du continent africain restée longtemps dans l’oralité. Cette communication orale portée par le griot requiert un manque d’objectivité mais a tout de même une importance capitale dans la société africaine. Tout comme les médias rapportent des faits, le griot, grâce à sa maîtrise de la parole et par le truchement des éléments expressifs et les instruments de musique publie lui aussi les faits marquants sa cité et par

I have in my possession a first edition, hard copy of Ruth Finnegan’s quintessential work, Oral Literature in Africa. It has a yellow cover, preserved by a plastic sheathe, it is a little frayed around the edges and has that old, musty library smell about it. I love and treasure this book. It is dedicated by Professor Finnegan ‘[t]o all my teachers’. Professor Finnegan is indeed one of my teachers. I properly met Ruth Finnegan at the second International Society for Oral Literature (ISOLA) conference in 1998, which I hosted at the University of Cape Town. She gave a keynote address which inclu

Abstract:

This dissertation is an attempt to draw a connecting link between Marcel Jousse's theory of MIMISM as found in his book The Oral Style and the symbols used when celebrating four of the sacraments celebrating in the Roman Catholic Church. These symbols are water used in the sacrament of baptism, the bread and the wine as used in the celebration of the Eucharist, and the oil which is used in the sacraments of Confirmation and the Anointing of the Sick. Jousse was the first anthropologist to discover that all action or gestes as he called it, is constantly being replayed and re-enacted by man. Th

Abstract:

This article takes up the challenge of comparative research in Africa by analysing and comparing the oral art of West African griots and Southern African iimbongi or oral poets. Similarities and differences between these performers and their respective societies are highlighted through the use of an ethnographic methodology. A distinction is drawn between the more traditional performers such as Thiam Anchou and D.L.P. Yali-Manisi, and the more modern performers such as M’Bana Diop, Bongani Sitole and Zolani Mkiva. The rich use of genealogy and history in the more traditional performances is hi

The focus of this essay is to highlight the transmission of oral tradition in communities that have been physically separated from the original homes of those particular communities. Thereafter, in chapter two, examples of surviving domestic rituals are analysed. Life cycle rituals and calendrical rituals that are performed in the home
