PROGRAM ABSTRACTS FOR THE 15TH TRIENNIAL SYMPOSIUM ON AFRICAN ART Africa and Its Diasporas in the Market Place: Cultural Resources and the Global Economy The core theme of the 2011 ACASA symposium, proposed by Pamela Allara, examines the current status of Africa’s cultural resources and the influence—for good or ill—of market forces both inside and outside the continent. As nation states decline in influence and power, and corporations, private patrons and foundations increasingly determine the kinds of cultural production that will be supported, how is African art being reinterpreted and by whom? Are artists and scholars able to successfully articulate their own intellectual and cultural values in this climate? Is there anything we can do to address the situation? WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 2O11, MUSEUM PROGRAM All Museum Program panels are in the Lenart Auditorium, Fowler Museum at UCLA Welcoming Remarks (8:30). Jean Borgatti, Steven Nelson, and Marla C. Berns PANEL I (8:45–10:45) Contemporary Art Sans Frontières. Chairs: Barbara Thompson, Stanford University, and Gemma Rodrigues, Fowler Museum at UCLA Contemporary African art is a phenomenon that transcends and complicates traditional curatorial categories and disciplinary boundaries. These overlaps have at times excluded contemporary African art from exhibitions and collections and, at other times, transformed its research and display into a contested terrain. At a moment when many museums with so‐called ethnographic collections are expanding their chronological reach by teasing out connections between traditional and contemporary artistic production, many museums of Euro‐American contemporary art are extending their geographic reach by globalizing their curatorial vision. -

Akan Witchcraft and the Concept of Exorcism in the Church of Pentecost
AKAN WITCHCRAFT AND THE CONCEPT OF EXORCISM IN THE CHURCH OF PENTECOST by OPOKU ONYINAH A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Theology School of Historical Studies The University of Birmingham February 2002 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Full Name (surname first) Opoku Onyinah School of Historical Studies/ Theology Akan Witchcraft and the Concept of Exorcism in the Church of Pentecost Doctor of Philosophy Witchcraft and “exorcisms” have dominated African cultures and posed problems for African people. This thesis is a study of the current exorcistic ministry within a Pentecostal church in Ghana with reference to the Akan culture. The general opinion gathered from current anthropological studies on witchcraft is that the ultimate goal of exorcism is to become modernised. However, using interdisciplinary studies with a theological focus, the thesis departs from this, and contends that it is divinatory- consultation or an inquiry into the sacred and the search for meaning that underlies the current “deliverance” ministry, where the focus is to identify and break down the so- called demonic forces by the power of God in order to “deliver” people from their torment. -

The last page of this book lists the other published studies. Most books in the series deal with a particular foreign country, describing and analyzing its political, economic, social, and national security systems and institutions, and examining the interrelation- ships of those systems and the ways they are shaped by cultural factors. Each study is written by a multidisciplinary team of social scientists. The authors seek to provide a basic understanding of the observed society, striving for a dynamic rather than a static portrayal. -

“Mauritania is an Eye:” A Community Association’s Effort to Promote Unity A dissertation presented to the faculty of the Scripps College of Communication of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Sidi Becar A. Meyara August 2017 © 2017 Sidi Becar A. Meyara. All Rights Reserved. This dissertation titled “Mauritania is an Eye:” A Community Association’s Effort to Promote Unity by SIDI BECAR A. MEYARA has been approved for the School of Communication Studies and the Scripps College of Communication by Devika Chawla Professor of Communication Studies Scott Titsworth Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii Abstract MEYARA, SIDI BECAR A., Ph.D., August 2017, Communication Studies “Mauritania is an Eye:” A Community Association’s Effort to Promote Unity Director of Dissertation: Devika Chawla This dissertation project explores how members of a Mauritanian association in the Greater Cincinnati area of Ohio/Kentucky work together to achieve a semblance of unity. The association is made up of two main Mauritanian groups - Afro-Mauritanians and Moors. Historically, these two groups have had a history of tension, which came to a head in 1989 after a suspected coup d’état plot organized by Afro-Mauritanians against the ruling Moorish government. Consequently, the Moorish government committed many atrocities against Afro-Mauritanians who were robbed, killed, and expelled from the country. Africa Watch reports that between 1000-3000 Afro-Mauritanians endured these atrocities. Drawing on 16 in-depth interviews and fieldwork observations, I seek to understand how members of this divided group work together to promote unity and the forces that encourage/hinder their efforts. -
Language, Identity, and Power in Mauritania Under French Control
Colonizing the Mabadra: Language, Identity, and Power in Mauritania Under French Control Erin Pettigrew Abstract With its ancient cities renowned for their private libraries fi lled with manuscripts with content reflecting the history of the trans-Saharan realm, the territory once known as Bilad al-Shinqit, now Mauritania, was home to a rich history of scholarly tradition. As contact between the Afrique Occidentale Fran9aise (AOF) officers and the people of Mauritania increased, the French colonial administration continually defined and redefined the ways in which it would approach education as a means of inculcating the population with a pro-colonial discourse. This paper examines how the French colonial education system altered the traditional social framework in the region the French defined as Mauritania by deepening and institutionalizing ethnic divisions and disrupting long-established systems of power. The AOF fi rst accommodated the Arabic language and its important place in Mauritanian religious and academic culture but later demoted it as French was enforced as the language of instruction. Starting with educational and poli tical policy reforms in the 1940s, Mauritanian leaders struggled to define their educational agenda and the country in a way that appeased the diverse voices of the country's euphony. Ufahamu 33:2&3 Winter & Spring 2007 PETTIGREW 63 Introduction With its ancient cities renowned for their private libraries filled with manuscripts with content reflecting the cultural, symbolic, and economic histories of the trans-Saharan realm, the territory once known as Bilad ai-Shinqit, now Mauritania, was home to a rich history of scholarly tradition.' Most children initially attended some type of formalized schooling in the religious based kuttab2, or Qur'anic schools, established in even the smallest encampment.
