  • Abstract African and African
    ABSTRACT AFRICAN AND AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDIES HILL, ERNESS A. B.A. SPELMAN COLLEGE, 1998 REFLECTIONS OF THE PAST: THE CASE OF MOZAMBICAN ART. THE MACONDE AND THE SHETANI Advisor: Dr. Mustafah Dhada Thesis dated December, 2000 This thesis examines to what extent the shetani icon in Maconde Art has been elevated to the status of deity; and what powers it has been endowed with to transform the lives of its "worshippers." The investigation was based on the observation that, although not a recognized 'god' in the traditional Maconde form of worship, nor that of Mozambique, the shetani’s appearance in Mozambican art was consistent and abundant. The investigative approach used was a comparative analysis of three internationally known Mozambican artists, two of which are Maconde. The researcher found that with all three artists, the shetani was an obvious element in their artistic renderings and in each instance, their individual lives, though not unique, were charged with suffering and unhappiness. The conclusion drawn from this investigation suggests that, although created by a Maconde for the purpose of patronage, the shetani icon has become a 'deity' not only for the Maconde, but for Mozambicans, as well. While not 'worshipped' in the sense that Westerners worship, it has been endowed with powers that transform the lives of those who identify with it. At the very least, it has been endowed with the power to promote their artistic abilities with a view to catalyzing greater creativity. REFLECTIONS OF THE PAST: THE CASE OF MOZAMBICAN ART, THE MACONDE AND THE SHETANI A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS BY ERNESS A.

  • Burundi Bibliographie 2020
    FRANÇOIS LAGARDE B U R U N D I BIBLIOGRAPHIE 2020 THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN 15 janvier 2021 !1 Présentation Sur le modèle des précédentes, cette bibliographie recense les publications portant, en tout ou en partie, sur le Burundi qui ont paru pendant l’année 2020. Ces écrits, matériels ou électroniques, incluent les livres, les chapitres de livre, les articles, les travaux universitaires (PhD, Master), les rapports des instituts de recherche, des organisations internationales et des ONG mais pas d’articles de presse. Les citations sont classées par discipline (Histoire, Population, Agriculture, Économie, Santé Publique, Politique, Droit, Éducation, Sciences, Arts) et par sujet (par exemple, discipline: Population; sujets: Enfance; Femmes; Migration; Ethnicité). La search key fait fonction d’index. Les publications référencées sont -à la louche- anglophones (85%), francophones (10%), et allophones (5%). On ne trouve aucune citation en kirundi dans les bases de données électroniques, petite ou grandes, excepté pour de rares œuvres bilingues. Il existe une publication en kirundi mais elle n’est pas cataloguée. Cette situation hyper diglossique, héritage colonial, est-elle inquiétante? Un pays publie son savoir, sa pensée, dans des langues que les locals ne parlent presque pas1. Ces écrits sont fabriqués dans des pays lointains, pour les livres papier, ce qui rend la réception burundaise chère, sinon inaccessible. Internet et l’open acces sauvent la donne en facilitant un accès au savoir. Ceci dit, que la recherche burundaise soit publiée en langue seconde, en langue étrangère, n’est pas un crime, c’est l’habitus d’une profession. C’est un fait de société nécessaire.

Lesk, Ph.D. and approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey January, 2010 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION A Framework for Cultural Heritage Digital Libraries in the Developing World: Access to Non-Textual Information for Non-Literate People in Morocco By HEATHER LEA MOULAISON Dissertation Director: Michael E. Lesk The purpose of this study is to investigate the role that Digital Libraries (DLs) can play in the transmission of information for non-literate people in the developing world. People from oral cultures are well-positioned to exploit DLs as a way of accessing audio- visual (A/V) documents if the DL is properly adapted. Cultural heritage documents created by researchers during fieldwork may be audio, video, or images that can be sources of national pride for non-literate citizens; these documents could be stored in a cultural heritage DL (CHDL) for online access by non-literate citizens. The primary methodology employed in this study is a review of relevant literature. National culture and universal usability contribute to cultural usability, the human aspects of DL use being explored. Machine aspects of DLs are investigated within the Library and Information Science (LIS) framework, with an emphasis on theories of organization of information and information retrieval, and a complementary discussion of the read/write Web.

  • A Walk Through the Gallery 5
    A WALK THROUGH THE GALLERY MARGARET PLASS The new African Gallery has been designed to exhibit, simply and honestly, a selection of sculptures from our permanent collections. Proudly we present them as works of art; where possible they are arranged in tribal groups for convenience and comparative study. They are labeled briefly and clearly. Here are the materials from which our visitors may form a just view of the special characteristics and merits of Negro art. For more than half a century our Museum has been enriched by acces- sions of African sculpture, mainly by purchase and partly by gifts, to the end that our permanent collections are the largest and most varied in style in America. The following descriptive notes are not to be construed as an attempt at a catalogue of the exhibition; the serious student may have access to fully documented formal catalogues should he apply to the Museum staff. In Dr. Coon's introduction he has given us the anthropological and ethno- grapbical background of the people who produced this art, working within the framework of their tribal traditions. Here in this book, with their photographs, are small synopses of what we know of these sculptures, and what we guess. We all have conscious, and sometimes unconscious, difficulty in understanding such works of art; the philosophical barrier that lies in the way of full appreciation is almost too difficult to hurdle. Many writers have tried to explain the magico-religious significance, the strength and directness of African art; few have succeeded. Perhaps these notes are mere hints and suggestions, but we hope that they may sometimes be stimulating as well as factual.
