The workshop represented the closing event of the three years inter- disciplinary ATrA project (www.africantransitions.it), funded by the Italian Ministry of Universities, Education and Research (MIUR) in the framework of its FIRB 2012 initiative. Aim of the workshop was the discussion, on an international level, of the major themes treated during these years by the ATrA team, in order to stimu- late a fruitful academic debate on the many facets of identity negotiation, ethnicity and cultural affiliation such as contact, creolization, integration, ur- banization, climate or cultural change, language and cultural switch, market exchanges, human migration and any other possible related topics. This edition contains both a collection of the papers actually discussed by the ATrA team with the invited keynote speakers during the workshop, and a selection of other contributions by scholars who answered a specific call launched in the framework of the activities of the project. The book is divided into three parts, corresponding to the three disciplines involved in the debate: anthropology, archaeology and linguistics. VII All papers present context specific, very concrete case studies which bring to light specific aspects of transition in terms of changing systems of values (in an anthropological perspective), language shifts (starting from a descrip- tive dimension) and linguistic and cultural exchanges (through the analysis of written texts and artifacts). Mechanisms of resilience and adaptation to new situations and contexts are described through an investigation which in many cases has the flavor of an intimate research, aimed above all at finding out the very essence of “be- ing human”, be it in ancient or modern contexts and in small scale or large scale societies. All the papers have been written by specialists of a determined discipline with the true aim to address scholars who could be expert in a different do- main of the human sciences with respect to their own, in order to encourage eccentric reflections and stimulate a true multi-level and multi-disciplinary dialogue. Therefore, this edition is not aimed at proposing solutions, but rather at putting on the table new hints and traces that each reader, according to her/ his specific interests, can synthesize in a “viable toolbox” allowing her/him to orient her/himself in any other contexts in transition. Due to the miscellaneous nature of the book and in order to facilitate its reading, each paper is introduced by an abstract and accompanied by a set of keywords. VIII Part I Anthropology / Culture Studies Cause: a category of the human mind?* Some social consequences of Chewong (Malaysian rainforest hunter-gatherers) ontological understanding SIGNE HOWELL University of Oslo Abstract In the absence of concepts that correspond to those of chance, luck, or fortune, how do people account for why seemingly random desirable or undesirable events occur? Based on long-term fieldwork with the Chewong, a small hunting-gathering and shifting-cultivating group of people who live in the Malaysian rain-forest, I study their theory of causality. It is argued that cause is a universal category of the human mind, but that an understanding of cause cannot be separated from an examination of the ontology and epistemology in each case. Keywords Causality, Ontology, Epistemology, Misfortune, Chewong * This paper is based on an earlier published paper entitled “Knowledge, Morality, and Causality in a ‘Luck less’ Society: The Case of the Chewong in the Malaysian Rain Forest” published in Social Analysis, Volume 56, Issue 1, Spring 2012, 133-147 © Berghahn Journals, doi:10.3167/sa.2012.560109. I am grateful to the publishers for allowing this version to be published. 2 Shortly before my arrival in 1977 to the Chewong – a small group of hunt- er-gatherers and shifting cultivators who live in the rain forest of Peninsular Malaysia – a terrible event took place1. The incident – a disastrous thunder- storm – was still at the forefront of people’s mind and I was repeatedly told about it. Several families were spending the night in temporary shelters in the forest when a heavy storm blew up, accompanied by rain, thunder and lightning A very large tree was uprooted and fell on top of the shelters. Three people were killed outright and two severely injured. Others received minor injuries. It was a frightful calamity, especially in such a small and fragile soci- ety where everyone has some kind of kinship relationship with everyone else. When I was first told about it, my reaction was that it was shockingly bad luck for the tree to fall precisely on the sleeping. However, people dismissed the notion of luck or chance. They had an explanation for why it had hap- pened and, as I learnt their ontological and metaphysical principles, I became able to account for the happening in their terms. The identified cause fits into Chewong notions of causality more generally, and I came to understand that there is no conceptual space for what I would recognize as luck or fortune. To explicate Chewong notions of causality will be the topic of this paper. From a methodological point of view, I shall be using the incident as a springboard for general methodological, theoretical and analytical speculations. Everyone I asked about the fallen tree gave me the same explanation for why it had happened there and then. It was directly linked to an event earlier the same evening. A few people had teased and laughed at some millipedes that had entered the lean-to. To laugh at or near all kinds of insects, worms, moths and butterflies is a heavily sanctioned act called talaiden. Talaiden is one of a number of named prescriptions and proscriptions that I call cosmo- rules and that constitute Chewong semantic and moral universe. Cosmo-rules provide the parameters for meaningful action. There is a direct and specified

  • A Conversation with Dance History: Movement And
    A CONVERSATION WITH DANCE HISTORY: MOVEMENT AND MEANING IN THE CULTURAL BODY A Dissertation Submitted to The Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Seónagh Odhiambo January, 2009 © by Seónagh Odhiambo 2009 All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT A Conversation with Dance History: Movement and Meaning in the Cultural Body Seónagh Odhiambo Doctor of Philosophy Temple University, 2009 Doctoral Advisory Committee Chair: Dr. Kariamu Welsh This study regards the problem of a binary in dance discursive practices, seen in how “world dance” is separated from European concert dance. A close look at 1930s Kenya Luo women’s dance in the context of “dance history” raises questions about which dances matter, who counts as a dancer, and how dance is defined. When discursive practices are considered in light of multicultural demographic trends and globalisation the problem points toward a crisis of reason in western discourse about how historical origins and “the body” have been theorised: within a western philosophical tradition the body and experience are negated as a basis for theorising. Therefore, historical models and theories about race and gender often relate binary thinking whereby the body is theorised as text and history is understood as a linear narrative. An alternative theoretical model is established wherein dancers’ processes of embodying historical meaning provide one of five bases through which to theorise. The central research questions this study poses and attempts to answer are: how can I illuminate a view of dance that is transhistorical and transnational? How can I write about 1930s Luo women in a way that does not create a case study to exist outside of dance history? Research methods challenge historical materialist frameworks for discussions of the body and suggest insight can be gained into how historical narratives operate with coercive power—both in past and present—by examining how meaning is conceptualised and experienced.

  • African Newspapers Currently Received by American Libraries Compiled by Mette Shayne Revised Summer 1999
    African Newspapers Currently Received by American Libraries Compiled by Mette Shayne Revised Summer 1999 INTRODUCTION This union list updates African Newspapers Currently Received by American Libraries compiled by Daniel A. Britz, Working Paper no. 8 African Studies Center, Boston, 1979. The holdings of 19 collections and the Foreign Newspapers Microfilm Project were surveyed during the summer of 1999. Material collected currently by Library of Congress, Nairobi (marked DLC#) is separated from the material which Nairobi sends to Library of Congress in Washington. The decision was made to exclude North African papers. These are included in Middle Eastern lists and in many of the reporting libraries entirely separate division handles them. Criteria for inclusion of titles on this list were basically in accord with the UNESCO definition of general interest newspapers. However, a number of titles were included that do not clearly fit into this definition such as religious newspapers from Southern Africa, and labor union and political party papers. Daily and less frequently published newspapers have been included. Frequency is noted when known. Sunday editions are listed separately only if the name of the Sunday edition is completely different from the weekday edition or if libraries take only the Sunday or only the weekday edition. Microfilm titles are included when known. Some titles may be included by one library, which in other libraries are listed as serials and, therefore, not recorded. In addition to enabling researchers to locate African newspapers, this list can be used to rationalize African newspaper subscriptions of American libraries. It is hoped that this list will both help in the identification of gaps and allow for some economy where there is substantial duplication.

Kenya: The Mungiki group, including organizational structure, leadership, membership, recruitment and activities; the relationship between the government and the group, including protection offered to its victims (2016-April 2018) 1. Overview For information on the Mungiki group for the period of 2010 to 2013, see Response to Information Request KEN104594 of November 2013. Sources describe the Mungiki as an "outlawed religious Kikuyu Kenyan sect" (M&G Africa 15 July 2016) or an outlawed sect "which originally stems from members of Kenya's influential Kikuyu tribe" (FPA 14 Apr. 2016). According to sources, the Kikuyu are the largest ethnic group in Kenya (IRIN 26 Oct. 2017; The Washington Times 11 May 2017). The Washington Times reports that the Kikuyu comprise an "estimated 20 percent of the total population of 46 million" and has "produced three out [of] Kenya's four presidents since independence," including President Uhuru Kenyatta (The Washington Times 11 May 2017). Freedom House refers to the Mungiki as an "ethnically affiliated gan[g]" (Freedom House 2017). Sources refer to the Mungiki as a pro-government "gang" (The Washington Post 28 Nov. 2017) or "militia" (Human Rights Watch 25 Feb. 2018). A 2017 report by the International Federation for Human Rights (Fédération internationale des ligues des droits de l'homme, FIDH) and the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) [1] states, without providing further details, that the Mungiki group "seems to have rebranded as Eminants of Mungiki" (FIDH and KHRC July 2017, 29).
