Between Belief and Transgression
Leper, hyena, and blacksmith in Kujamaat Diola thought
Taken together, the disposal of a dead leper and the funeral for a hyena shot while hunting provide a way into a set of categories developed in Kujamaat Diola thought. I begin with the funerals and proceed first to supply ethnographic background to Kujamaat ideas about lepers and hyenas; I then go on to consider the symbolics of each in relation to the other and to related categories. The symbolic analysis takes into account three interdependent …

The Metaphor as a Mediator Between Semantic and Analogic Modes of Thought [and Comments and Reply]
Anthropologists have overlooked the importance of the metaphor in human culture. Core etaphors can help us identify ultimate cosmic constructs underlying a given social or religious world view. But, even more centrally, metaphors can serve as key data in our attempts to understand how a cultural system adapts to and incorporates sensated experience from the physical world. Metaphors thus provide both a "reality" principle and a "tool" for change.…
The Social Use of Metaphor
Through the use of language, as symbolic action, man attempts to control his social, natural, and supernatural environments. In this book J. David Sapir, J. Christopher Crocker, and their fellow contributors investigate the nature of metaphor and related symbolic forms as a means of coming to terms with the world.
Fecal Animals
The complementary and opposing relationship of person to his double: person/animal, womb/anus, inside/outside, postulated by the Kujamaat Diola (Senegal,West Africa) permits two analogic extensions. One, that is based on interaction, provides a model of the major categories of the Kujamaat social system, and the other, that elaborates sameness/difference, draws out, as a projection from the original person/animal metonymy, the system's implicit d…

Musical Style and Social Change among the Kujamaat Diola
T his study explores the musical aspects of what Kujamaat informants mean when they call certain songs old-fashioned and others new. As we shall demonstrate this distinction applies not only to those song genres that the Kujamaat have adopted recently, as opposed to those that they have possessed for a longer time, but it also applies to regional and individual variants within a particular genre, as well as to changes that informants noticed betw…
Big and thin; two Diola-Fogny meta-linguistic terms
The Diola-Fogny of Sénégal, West Africa, socially intuit with the meta-linguistic terms 'big' and 'thin' the tense/lax vowel contrast that is basic to their phonology. The two terms are primarily used to identify speech variation among individuals and groups. Examination revealed that speakers who made relatively greater use of vowel harmony were characterized as 'big' in contrast to others who were thought of as 'thin' speakers. The 'big'/'thin'…

Kujaama
The Diola-Fogny concept of kujaama represents a complex symbol that defines a set of pollution rules having to do mainly with blood and food avoidance between generations and between husband and wife at the death of one or the other. Analysis of the diverse manifestations of kujaama shows that each represents but one variant of a general principle, that is, the inauspiciousness of mixing separate categories. Further analysis places kujaama in the…
