Van Doorn ii EDITORIAL POLICY African Studies Abstracts Online provides an overview of articles from periodicals and edited works on sub-Saharan Africa in the field of the social sciences and the humanities available in the African Studies Centre library. Coverage African Studies Abstracts Online covers edited works (up to 50 in each issue) and a wide range of journals in the field of African studies. Some 240 journals are systematically scanned. Just over half of these are English-language journals, just under a quarter are French, and most of the rest are German. A few Afrikaans, Dutch, Italian and Portuguese-language journals are also covered. Some 40 percent of all the journals are published in Africa. Newspapers and weeklies, popular magazines and current affairs bulletins, statistical digests, directories, annual reports and newsletters are, with rare exceptions, not scanned. Articles from journals published in Africa and from leading Africanist journals published outside the continent are provided with abstracts. Articles from other journals, including journals on North Africa, are catalogued and indexed without abstracts. All articles are included in the African Studies Centre Library OPAC at http://opc4-ascl.pica.nl/DB=3/LNG=EN/ To be selected for abstracting/indexing an article must be at least two to three pages long, and have been published within the past two years (though some allowance is made for journals which have fallen behind on publication schedules or which, for whatever reason, have taken a long time to arrive). In a few specific cases, an article may be excluded on the grounds of subject. In particular, articles in the field of linguistics and those in the field of literature dealing with only one work are normally not selected. This also applies to purely descriptive articles covering current political events or economic developments, which could be expected to become quickly outdated, though this rule is applied less rigorously in the case of a country about which very little is otherwise published. Review articles and book reviews are not covered. Contents and arrangement In principle African Studies Abstracts Online is published four times a year. Each issue contains up to 450 titles with abstracts of collective volumes and journal articles. Items are numbered sequentially and arranged geographically according to the broad regions of Africa. There is a preliminary general section for entries whose scope extends beyond iii Africa, followed by a separate section for entries dealing with the continent as a whole. There is also a section for entries dealing with sub-Saharan Africa. Within the broad geographical regions of Northeast, West, West Central, East, Southeast Central and Southern Africa and the Indian Ocean islands, entries are arranged by country, and within each country, alphabetically according to author. Entries covering two countries appear twice, once under each country heading. Entries covering three or more countries are generally classified under the relevant regional heading. Each entry provides the conventional bibliographical information together with an abstract in the language of the original document. The abstract covers the essentials of the publication in 10-20 lines. It includes a description of subject and purpose, disciplinary approach, nature of the research and source materials (fieldwork, archives, oral traditions, etc.). Where applicable an indication of the time period, specific geographical information (such as names of towns, villages or districts), as well as the names of persons, languages and ethnic groups, are also included. Indexes and list of sources Each issue of African Studies Abstracts Online contains a geographical index, a subject index, and an author index, all referring to abstract number. The geographical index is at a region and country level. It refers to both abstract and page number, and for some may serve as a surrogate table of contents. The subject index is self-devised and is intended as a first and global indication of subjects. It follows roughly the main classes of the UDC, with categories for general, religion and philosophy, culture and society, politics, economics, law, education, anthropology, medical care and health services, rural and urban planning and geography, language and literature, and history and biography. Each category is further subdivided into a number of subcategories. Abstracts of items included under more than one country heading are indexed in the geographical index under each country. In the subject and author indexes they are indexed only once; the reference is always to the first time an entry appears. In addition, each issue of African Studies Abstracts Online contains a list of periodicals abstracted which provides information on title, current place of publication and ISSN of all periodicals from which articles have been selected, as well as indicating which issues of the periodical in question have been covered. A complete list of all periodicals regularly scanned for abstracting or indexing is available on the African Studies Centre website at: http://www.ascleiden.nl/Library/Abstracts/ As always, comments or suggestions are very welcome. iv GEOGRAPHICAL INDEX abstract number page INTERNATIONAL General 1-4 17 AFRICA General 5-52 19 NORTHEAST AFRICA Eritrea 53 47 Ethiopia 54-61 47 Sudan 62-69 52 AFRICA SOUTH OF THE SAHARA General 70-90 56 WEST AFRICA General 91-96 67 Benin 97 70 Burkina Faso 98-101 71 Cape Verde 102-103 73 Ghana 104-135 74 Guinea 136-137 91 Guinea-Bissau 138 93 Ivory Coast 139-144 93 Liberia 145-147 97 Mali 148 98 Mauritania 149-151 99 Niger 152-154 100 Nigeria 155-173 102 Senegal 174-181 112 WEST CENTRAL AFRICA General 182 117 Angola 183-185 117 Cameroon 186-194 119 1 GEOGRAPHICAL INDEX abstract number page Central African Republic 195-196 123 Congo (Brazzaville) 197-199 124 Congo (Kinshasa) 200-210 126 Gabon 211-213 131 EAST AFRICA General 214-217 133 Burundi 218-219 136 Kenya 220-234 137 Tanzania 235-242 146 Uganda 243-247 150 SOUTHEAST CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN AFRICA General 248-250 152 SOUTHEAST CENTRAL AFRICA Malawi 251 154 Mozambique 252-253 154 Zambia 254-257 156 Zimbabwe 258-268 158 SOUTHERN AFRICA General 269-272 164 Botswana 273-275 166 Lesotho 276-277 167 Namibia 278-283 169 South Africa 284-390 173 Swaziland 391 229 ISLANDS General 392 229 Comoros 393-395 230 Madagascar 396-401 232 2 SUBJECT INDEX A.

  • The Rhetorical Power of Literary Conventions: Artistic Means of Persuasion in Biblical Discourse
    The rhetorical power of literary conventions: Artistic means of persuasion in Biblical discourse Azila Talit Reisenberger Department of Hebrew and Jewish Studies University of Cape Town CAPE TOWN Abstract The rhetorical power of literary conventions: Artistic means of persuasion in Biblical discourse This article traces the impact of reality on the development of communication skills, and the manner in which these skills are in turn refined and by repetition develop into literary conventions. Furthermore, the influence which literary convention then exerts on social attitudes and on the development o f new literary conventions are traced. This article is a literary study, though all examples are from or related to the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). 1. Introduction The act of communication involves the sender and the receiver of a specific message. Both sender and receiver are important and active constituents of the act of communication, whether the latter is a verbal (oral or written) or a physical (non-verbal) act. All acts of communication require a system of reference shared by the communicator and the communicatee. In a verbal act of communication it is natural to assume that the two communicating parties speak and/or understand the same language, i.e. that they share common linguistic references. This is equally important in acts of non-verbal communication, though the importance of a non-verbal common reference system to effective communication has often been underestimated. These cultural reference systems are determined by reality: vocabulary develops in accordance to need, and concepts develop with repetition of the same experiences. In other words, people who live in a land where it snows develop a great number of terms to describe snowflakes and different ways of snowing.
