This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific Essay from the year 2017 in the subject African Studies - Linguistics, grade: A.1, , language: English, abstract: The place of proverbs and oral literature in the sustenance of a culture cannot be over-emphasised. It is quite regrettable and disheartening that these aspects of culture are grossly ignored and abused these days across many cultures, for which most contemporary members of such cultures know little or nothing in/about these indigenous knowledge and cultures. Bekwarra is one of those cultures, with the contemporary Bekwarra acting negatively towards their culture in almost all phases. This paper is intended to rouse the interest and attention of such peoples, not only the Bekwarra, to their proverbs, oral literature and indigenous cultures towards their sustenance. It concludes that it is imperative to sustain cultures like Bekwarra through these aspects of culture, which involves constant/sustained interest in, teaching and learning cum transmission of these invaluable aspects of culture across generations. They should be constantly preserved, and taught both at home and school.
Download or read book Aboriginal Proverbs written by B. J. M. and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-10-13 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Words Of Wisdom... It began as an oral tradition, the passing on of knowledge, wisdom, understanding, the natural way of life and the order of all things. Starting with the creator Himself to his created, from father to son from mother to daughter this vital information was past... It was the MaZoon (the Wise) Sages that foresaw the need to transcend knowledge from an oral tradition to a written text as a guide for those that would lose their way due to unintentional uncontrollable circumstances and to those who were intentionally misled and purposely deceived about all matters of life, even their origins in life, their langue, their cultural identity, their names and their religion... This scroll transcends nationalities & cultural identities, with the hope of attempting to scratch the surface of showing the connectedness of the indigenous by the words spoken from the mouths of the aboriginal where ever WE maybe... ...I Am That I Am...

Book Synopsis Women and Music in Cross-cultural Perspective by : Ellen Koskoff
Download or read book Women and Music in Cross-cultural Perspective written by Ellen Koskoff and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The past fifteen years have been a time of intense scholarly interest in women, resulting in an explosion of literature that has begun to reveal the overriding effects of gender on other cultural domains. Affecting all aspects of culture, issues of sexuality, gender-related behaviors, and inter-gender relations also have profound implications for music performance. This volume represents an introduction to the field of women, music, and culture and in no way attempts to be comprehensive in its coverage nor conclusive in its implications. For example, Western classical music is not discussed here, many large world areas are not covered, nor does this volume present a comprehensive survey of all recent developments in feminist-oriented anthropology. What these essays do share is a focus on women's culture identity and musical activity, either in socially isolated performance environments or within the public arenas shared by their male counterparts."--From the preface
Book Synopsis Male Daughters, Female Husbands by : Professor Ifi Amadiume
Download or read book Male Daughters, Female Husbands written by Professor Ifi Amadiume and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2015-03-12 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1987, more than a decade before the dawn of queer theory, Ifi Amadiume wrote Male Daughters, Female Husbands, to critical acclaim. This compelling and highly original book frees the subject position of 'husband' from its affiliation with men, and goes on to do the same for other masculine attributes, dislocating sex, gender and sexual orientation. Boldly arguing that the notion of gender, as constructed in Western feminist discourse, did not exist in Africa before the colonial imposition of a dichotomous understanding of sexual difference, Male Daughters, Female Husbands examines the structures in African society that enabled people to achieve power, showing that roles were not rigidly masculinized nor feminized. At a time when gender and queer theory are viewed by some as being stuck in an identity-politics rut, this outstanding study not only warns against the danger of projecting a very specific, Western notion of difference onto other cultures, but calls us to question the very concept of gender itself.

Book Synopsis Aspects of Power and Cultural Politics in Literature by : Hamid Masfour
Download or read book Aspects of Power and Cultural Politics in Literature written by Hamid Masfour and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2016-12-20 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, , course: Literary citicism, language: English, abstract: In a way or another, literature underlies subtle discursive processes that either inform the text with a power regime or contest it through a disruptive counter-discourse. Taking part in circulating power-laden cultural values legitimating or countering the status- quo, literature has been a fertile ground for different currents of critical and cultural studies such as postcolonial, feminist and literary theory. In this context, the argument of this paper investigates through examples of different literary genres how literature has always been amid a tug of war either endorsing hegemonic power representations or taking a position of resistance.

Book Synopsis Comparative Studies in African Dirge Poetry by : Gloria Monica T. Emezue
Download or read book Comparative Studies in African Dirge Poetry written by Gloria Monica T. Emezue and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2001 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comparative Studies in African Dirge Poetry is an important contribution to research in African literature by Nigerian scholar GMT Emezue. Emezue sets out to portray the role and function of African dirge. Moving from the general (African milieu) to the specific (Igbo heritage) she explores written and oral modes of poetic expressions. Emezue also posits a theory of the African dirge with features comparatively distinctive from the formalised structures of western art. GMT Emezue's interest in traditional African dirge songs and modern poetry is borne from her conviction that nowhere in the corpus of oral poetry have there been more works of heightened creativity than the dirge forms.
