  • Din to the Akan Naming Ceremony
    “Odenkyem da nsuo mu nso ohome mframa” “The Crocodile lives in water, but breathes air not water” (know your identity, know your function) Din To The Akan Naming Ceremony The name is an essential component of the spiritual anatomy of the Afurakani/Afuraitkaitnit (African) person. It confirms identity. Thus, from time immemorial Afurakanu/Afuraitkaitnut (Africans) have taught, with respect to the sacredness of the name, "Truly, without a name the Afurakani/Afuraitkaitnit (African) human does not exist." The name is a group of sounds---sounds/vibrations grouped together in a unique way. Power from the sounds/vibrations of a properly given name moves throughout the spirit of the Afurakani/Afuraitkaitnit (African) person when heard or spoken. The spirit responds to this power, stirring within the person an awareness of their unique purpose in life and of the potential they possess to carry out that purpose. As the purpose of one's life is given to him or her by The Supreme Being before birth, we recognize our unique purpose, our destiny in Creation, to be a divine purpose, a divine destiny. We define our purpose, our destiny, as the divine function we are to execute in this world. Thus the name, the power-carrying indicator of our divine function, has always been and continues to be most sacred to us. When heard or spoken, it aligns us with our Divine nature. It is within this context that the naming ceremonies of Afurakani/Afuraitkaitnit (African) people must be viewed. The din to (naming ceremony) of the Akan people of West Afuraka/Afuraitkait (Africa) is expressive of these principles.

  • Kinship and Change in Kumasi, Ghana
    Legacies: Kinship and Change in Kumasi, Ghana By Carmen Asha Nave A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Anthropology University of Toronto © Copyright Carmen Nave 2015 Legacies: Kinship and Change in Kumasi Ghana Carmen Asha Nave Doctor of Philosophy Department of Anthropology University of Toronto 2015 Abstract This study situates current kinship and inheritance practices among the matrilineal Asante within an analysis of cultural and legal change. Based on 18 months of fieldwork in Kumasi, Ghana, I analyze matrilineal kinship and marriage by considering the ways in which ongoing kin relations influence inheritance decision-making in conjunction with broadly shared notions of custom or law. I critically examine a supposed schism between “traditional” and “modern” inheritance to show various points of convergence between past and present notions of inheritance and kinship. I show that people incorporate the principles of both state inheritance law and local custom in multiple ways, not just to distribute property during decision-making about inheritance, but to assign responsibility for the care of the sick or of children and to distribute the funeral debts. In contemporary Ghana, the period of inheritance decision- making is a time when profound ethical ambiguities in kinship and social relations become apparent. To understand how inheritance is changing, I argue that analysts need to discard assumptions that matrilineal kinship and marriage is inherently harmful to women as well as assumptions about the progressive nature of social change. Instead, I argue that inheritance is an emergent process that combines both general cultural knowledge and the particular knowledge of a deceased individual’s life and relationships to produce decisions that assign responsibility and reform relations that have been disrupted by death.

GEMA Online® Journal of Language Studies 143 Volume 15(1), February 2015 Truncation of Some Akan Personal Names Kwasi Adomako [email protected] University of Education, Winneba, Ghana ABSTRACT This paper examines some morphophonological processes in Akan personal names with focus on the former process. The morphological processes of truncation of some indigenous personal names identified among the Akan (Asante) ethnic group of Ghana are discussed. The paper critically looks at some of these postlexical morpheme boundary processes in some Akan personal names realized in the truncated form when two personal names interact. In naming a child in a typical Akan, specifically in Asante‟s custom, a family name is given to the child in addition to his/her „God-given‟ name or day-name. We observe truncation and some phonological processes such as vowel harmony, compensatory lengthening, etc. at the morpheme boundaries in casual speech context. These morphophonological processes would be analyzed within the Optimality Theory framework where it would be claimed that there is templatic constraint that demands that the base surname minimally surfaces as disyllable irrespective of the syllable size of the base surname.

  • Stamping History: Stories of Social Change in Ghana's Adinkra Cloth
    Stamping History: Stories of Social Change in Ghana’s Adinkra Cloth by Allison Joan Martino A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History of Art) in The University of Michigan 2018 Doctoral Committee: Professor Raymond A. Silverman, Chair Professor Kelly M. Askew Assistant Professor Nachiket Chanchani Professor Emeritus Elisha P. Renne Allison Joan Martino [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0002-1252-1378 © Allison Joan Martino 2018 DEDICATION To my parents. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In the summer of 2013, I was studying photography and contemporary art in Accra, Ghana’s capital. A conversation during that trip with Professor Kwesi Yankah changed the course of my research. He suggested a potential research project on adinkra. With adinkra everywhere in Ghana today, research possibilities seemed endless. Adinkra appealed to me from my interest in studying Akan visual and verbal arts, a research area nurtured during an ethnopoetics course that Professor Yankah taught as a visiting scholar at Michigan in 2011. That conversation led to this project. Soon after that meeting with Professor Yankah, I took an exploratory research trip to Kumasi. Professor Gilbert Amegatcher, who has a wealth of knowledge about Akan arts and culture, traveled with me. He paved the way for this dissertation, making key introductions to adinkra cloth makers who I continued to work with during subsequent visits, especially the Boadum and Boakye families. My sincerest thanks are due to Professors Yankah and Amegatcher for generating that initial spark and continuing to support my work. Words cannot express my gratitude to the extended members of the Boakye and Boadum families – especially Kusi Boadum, Gabriel Boakye, David Boamah, and Paul Nyaamah – in addition to all of the other cloth makers I met.

These morphophonological processes would be analyzed within the Optimality Theory framework where it would be claimed that there is templatic constraint that demands that the base surname minimally surfaces as disyllable irrespective of the syllable size of the base surname. The relatively high ranking of this minimality constraint, we claim in this paper, forces the application of the compensatory lengthening rule to ensure satisfaction of that constraint in the truncated forms. Keywords: personal names; Akan; optimality theory; morphology; truncation INTRODUCTION This paper studies the morphophonology of some indigenous Akan (Asante) personal names (henceforth APN), which generally falls under onomastics. The present study focuses on the analysis of how these personal names are realized at the phonetic level of the Akan grammar.

  • Editor's Introduction
    Capturing Students’ Target Language Exposure Collaboratively, on Video – The Akan (Twi) Example Seth Antwi Ofori University of Wisconsin – Madison Abstract: The video project at the center of this paper is one of the strategies the author has been utilizing in teaching Akan as a foreign language aimed at reinforcing aspects of Akan covered in a given semester, specifically as students transition through different levels of language instruction and acquisition or go home on vacation. The significance of this project lies in the fact that it promotes language documenta- tion and material development in less-documented languages, and also, in the fact that it gives foreign language learners the opportunity to reinforce their target language exposure on vacation, or as they transition through the different levels of study, because each student gets a copy of the video to watch with their communities outside of the classroom. 1. Introduction The non-availability of videos for teaching Akan as a second language, coupled with students’ inability to retain target language materials, largely as a result of a long school vacation during which they have no access to their new language, are problems that led to this idea of requiring and organizing students each semester to cap- ture much of their language exposure on video. The video at the cen- ter of this article is worth sharing because, while there have been countless articles, dissertations (and even books) on the various me- thods of teaching a foreign language through video (Morris 2000, Steele and Johnson 2000, Rhodes and Pufahl 2004), there have been virtually none on students of less commonly taught, funded, and do- cumented languages working together each semester to document their target language exposure through video.

Signature Date (Supervisor) Certified by Nana Afua Opuku Asare (Miss) …..……………… …………………. Signature Date (Head of Department) ABSTRACT 2 This thesis identifies the various forms of art used in the Kofi-OO-Kofi Religious cult, been operated by Nana KwakuBonsam. How these arts are used and their importance to the cult has been studied. In unveiling this, the qualitative research method was used to collect data from a homogeneous population using purposive sampling method. Critical observation of the cult processes, questioning and interviewing some of the high ranking officials who are prime users and performers of the arts of this cult, took place. Kofi-OO-Kofi’s cult has resulted from a dissenting view by the priest. Dissenting views results from his perceived spiritual being called Kofi-OO-Kofi who has bestowed powers on him that enables him achieve his targets and aims.

  • Akan Witchcraft and the Concept of Exorcism in the Church of Pentecost

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.

Research Review New Series 16.2 (2000) 19-33 COMMUNICATING NOMINA TIM: SOME SOCIAL ASPECTS OF BONO PERSONAL NAMES Rwasi Ansu-Kyeremeh Abstract This article describes various communication functions performed by Bono (a Ghanaian people) personal names. Indeed, in the non-western context, personal names have been linked to social status, or may have cosmic or religious significance, or may assume gender dimensions. From data obtained from interviews and observations, it establishes a basic twoHtiame Bono personal name format. It outlines the different characteristics, attributes and formats of Bono names classifying them into ascribed or acquired, circumstantial (fixed and substitute) and day- based names. The characterisation includes the capacity of certain classes of names to generate meaning. The article concludes with the observation that the dynamism of the naming system seems to be transforming name formats to a degree that is causing a loss in their communicative attributes. A future in which the communicative capacity of the Bono personal name may not be so evident is, thus, predicted. Introduction Personal names may be of little consequence in various contexts.1 This paper contends that persona] names support human interaction as a vehicle for communication. It outlines certain properties of Bono personal names that are intrinsically communicative.2 Thereupon, it proposes that, contrary to any belief that there is nothing in a name, personal names play a role in social interaction, at the root of which is communication.
