Preeminent scholars Akintunde Akinyemi and Toyin Falola assemble a team of leading and rising stars across African Studies research to retrieve and renew the scholarship of oral traditions and folklore in Africa and the Diaspora just as critical concerns about their survival are pushed to the forefront of the field. With five sections on the central themes within orality and folklore – including engagement ranging from popular culture to technology, methods to pedagogy – this handbook is an indispensable resource to scholars, students, and practitioners of oral traditions and folklore preservation alike. This definitive reference is the first to provide detailed, systematic discussion, and up-to-date analysis of African oral traditions and folklore.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author has undertaken extensive research in oral literature and is the author of A Dictionary of Oral Literature. Here he uses an anthological approach to examine the various genres of oral literature both at the theoretical and analytical level. The anthology emphasises the areas of definition, classification, style and themes. The book is essentially an analysis of the four genres of riddles, proverbs, oral poetry and narratives. It introduces a new way of looking at oral literature, particularly in the case of riddles and proverbs which have received little analytical attention locally in terms of classifying them and discussing their styles and social functions. The author contends that the four genres exist in a continuum rather than as disparate phenomena.

Download or read book Female Characters in the Contemporary Kenyan Oral Narrative written by Mark Chetambe and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contemporary oral narrative is an evolving literary genre in Kenya.It has become increasingly popular with the Kenyan audience, especially after it was introduced in the Kenya School' and Colleges' Drama Festival. T.V and radio stations have embraced it as part of their entertainment menu. This book delves into the way the contemporary oral narrative in Kenya portrays the female character. Focusing on six oral narrative texts performed in the drama festival by six different institutions in Kenya, the author examines the images and roles that female charcters are cast in in these contemporary tales. The style that the narratives employ in presenting the female person is also analysed. Making it clear that the contemporary oral narrative differs from the traditional narrative in terms of composition and performance, the author observes that the contemporary tale needs to be reconstructed so that it can project a more favourable image of the female gender.

Download or read book Power, Marginality and African Oral Literature written by Graham Furniss and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1995-09-14 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African oral literature, like other forms of popular culture, is not merely folksy, domestic entertainment but a domain in which individuals in a variety of social roles are free to comment on power relations in society. It can also be a significant agent of change capable of directing, provoking, preventing, overturning and recasting social reality. This collection examines the way in which oral texts both reflect and affect contemporary social and political life in Africa. It addresses questions of power, gender, the dynamics of language use, the representation of social structures and the relation between culture and the state. The contributors are linguists, anthropologists, folklorists, ethnomusicologists and historians, who present fresh material and ideas to paint a lively picture of current real-life situations. The book is an important contribution to the study of African culture and literature, and to the anthropological study of oral literature in particular.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Storytelling empowers children to engage in discussions; explore ideas about power, respect, community, fairness, equality, and justice; and help frame their understanding of complex ethical issues within a society. In Life Lessons through Storytelling, Donna Eder interviews elementary students and presents their responses to stories from different cultures. Using Aesop's fables and Kenyan and Navajo storytelling traditions as models for classroom use, Eder demonstrates the value of a cross-cultural approach to teaching through storytelling, while providing deep insights into the social psychology of learning.
