Museum Trajectories and Problems of Evidence in Public Discourse
As conservators of heritage and protectors of patrimony, museums are key players in public discourse about national identity and collective memory. The cultural roles and meanings of the museum as an institution are changing in relationship to local and global currents. Factors include the adoption of digital technologies, the repatriation of cultural artifacts, and the opening of new blockbuster museums. This special issue ofMuseum Anthropologyb…
Curatorial Networks and Museum Culture
The valuation and display of African art in museum contexts entails contrasting strategies of objectification. In this process, objects may be used as material evidence for larger cultural trends and new movements. This essay examines the role of curatorial networks in creating discourses about African art objects that reframe their cultural significance and economic value. These curatorial networks are treated as a habitus for the art and a disc…

Le Musée d'Art au Hasard
During the colonial period, Black Paris began to respond to French museum culture. From the 1930s to the 1970s, Joséphine Baker maintained a close association with French museum culture. Other voices from Black Paris surfaced surrounding the Présence Africaine journal in 1947 and the turbulent debates of the 1950s. In the 1980s, the rediscovery of contemporary and popular arts led to a virtual explosion in French gallery and museum spaces. From t…

Ferro, Marc (dir.). – Le livre noir du colonialisme. xvie-xxie siècle
Laudable, ambitious in scope, and voluminous, Marc Ferro’s Le livre noir du colonialisme is an impressive contribution to current debates on worldwide violence, terrorism, and exploitation. Modeled on Le livre noir du communisme, by Stéphane Courtois, Ferro’s project similarly documents the intended and latent consequences of an ideological enterprise. Prominent international scholars, including Ferro himself, Elikia M’Bokolo, Pierre Brocheux, Ca…
Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika
« Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika ». De l’esprit indépendant à la mobilisation politique. – « Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika » (Que Dieu bénisse l’Afrique), connu comme l’hymne africain, est un signifiant puissant pour le deuil, la rédemption et la célébration. Les tonalités méthodistes et les paroles du chant puisent leurs racines dans les contacts culturels avec les missionnaires. Ce chant occupe aussi une place importante dans le répertoire cérémonial de nombr…

Performance Ethnography
This article explores the use of dual tracking, or digital video overlay, in performance ethnography. It proposes a reflexive approach to ethnographic filmmaking in which the ethnographic subject and videomakers work collaboratively to uncover the interior realities motivating the performance. The authors review previous approaches to ethnographic filmmaking and then suggest digital video overlay as a method of presenting the actual performances …

Enigma Variations
At the Threshold of the Millennium
Many of the prophetic movements and independent Churches that started in the 1930s and 1940s in the central and southern African regions have now moved from a charismatic to a more institutionalized phase. Groups such as the Zionists, the African Apostolic Church, the Kimbanguist Church, and others have played significant roles in African liberation movements and new governments. It is impossible to separate the theological tenets and political c…

The Veil of Objectivity
It is possible for folk inquiry to become a source for the modification of anthropological thought. This paper discusses two alternative knowledge systems: traditional divination and syncretic prophecy in Central Africa. The processes of scientific discovery, causal reasoning, and the evaluation of evidence are compared with oracular reasoning and prophetic prediction. The oracular aspects of scientific reasoning are delineated along with the pro…

A Paradigm for Looking
Based on research in two African communities, this volume presents a new methodology for examining visual media--one that suggests a phenomenology of filmmaking and an ethnography of mediated communication. Comprehensively developed and discusses, this methodology can be used for analysis of any informant-made visual communication
Symbols of Change
Based on a four-year longitudinal study of urban adaptation in Lusaka, Zambia, this book offers both a theoretical analysis and a case study of African urbanization as a social process. The author's unique approach to this topic lies in her exploration of city-life adjustment through the subjective perception of the new urbanites themselves. The book contains the original interview material and numerous photos of the extensive fieldwork
Aesthetics and Market Demand
The concept of aesthetics is a “red herring” in the study of contemporary art. Often aesthetics is equated with technique (cf. Henri, 1960: 88) or with adherence to the dominant themes of a particular school of art. In the case of “tourist” and “folk” art, the concept of aesthetics is generally salvaged by introducing the notion that artistic preferences are culturally relative and are influenced by the conditions under which the particular art f…

Rethinking the Popular Arts in Africa
Popular arts are an effervescent and protean aspect of contemporary culture in Africa. Karin Barber's overview captures the styles, flavor, and general sociological significance of these art forms for both artists and consumers. Noting a lack of theoretical synthesis in the field, the author begins with a critique of the tripartite “European model” of folk, popular, and elite art. She aptly remarks that this model obscures analysis by relegating …

Ceremonial Trance Behavior in an African Church
Ceremonial trance behavior is a private religious experience that occurs in a public setting. Sociologists have long concerned themselves with the distinction between individual reactions to external stimuli and social behavior. While trance states may be individual responses, they also involve subtle forms of social interaction and are dependent upon the context in which they occur. The repetitive format of ritual activities can trigger and help…

Bapostolo Ritual
Les églises indépendantes africaines sont une des sources principales de transformation culturelle. Dans ces églises, les rituels coutumiers et les croyances chrétiennes se mêlent. Cependant, beaucoup de chercheurs n'ont pas décrit ces rituels ou bien les ont considérés dans des termes uniquement occidentaux. À force d'examiner le kerek ou le sabbat « apostolique », les buts et l'organisation des rituels des Bapostolo (l'Église apostolique de Joh…
