Confessions and tales of horror
Confessions have received little attention in anthropological studies of witchcraft (Douglas 1970: xxxiv), but, in the little that we know about epidemic witch-hunting in Africa, it is reported that during the cleansing rituals or the magic seeking-out of witches, men and women of the village concerned might confess to having performed witchcraft (Willis 1970: 130). Historians have had to concern themselves more with confessions, since they forme…
Le Roman Arabe en Tunisie Entre Patrimoine et Culture Dominante
La conscience vivante du Tunisien contemporain est constitute de plusieurs cercles d'appartenance (Rene Gallissot) definissant son identite culturelle:1 la genealogie, la langue, la religion, la nation. Pour le cas precis de la Tunisie, les deux dimensions essentielles sont la langue et la religion. La Tunisie est massivement de langue arabe et de religion musulmane.

L'institut des Belles-Lettres Arabes de Tunis. Un entretien avec Jean Fontaine
L'Institut des belles-lettres arabes (IBLA), fondé en 1932 par les Pères Blancs de Tunisie, œuvre depuis soixante ans pour le dialogue des cultures, pour la fraternité entre chrétiens et musulmans.

The Power of Rights
Van Gennep argued mistakenly that rites of passage were explained by identifying them as mechanisms enacting role-change. He was right to emphasise the ordered sequence of actions as crucial to an explanation of such ritual. The acknowledged purpose of rites of passage is to change individuals but an analytical view must be that the individuals are themselves part of the ritual. Their transfer from one state to another serves to manifest the divi…

Descent in New Guinea: An Africanist View
This article is written as a tribute to the man whose name is inextricably linked with the study of kinship in Africa. It takes its point of departure from that classic article, ‘The Structure of Unilineal Descent Groups’ (Fortes 1953 a [1970 b ]) but is concerned with the strictures made upon it by anthropologists working in other parts of the world, particularly New Guinea. The origin of the debate was the article by Barnes (1962), ‘African Mod…
