  • The State of Research on Performance in Africa

    Margaret Thompson DrewalARTICLEAfrican Studies Review1991Citada por: 33Referências: 91

    Performance raises fundamental issues about bodily praxis, human agency, temporality, and discursive knowledge and calls into question conventional understandings of tradition, repetition, mechanical reproduction, and ontological definitions of social order and reality. Across academic disciplines and across modes of production, however, performance is a contested concept, “meaning that its very existence is bound up in disagreement about what it…

  • Ritual Performance in Africa Today

    Margaret Thompson DrewalARTICLETDR/The Drama Review1988

    Ritual has for too long been considered the most conservative and repetitive kind of performance, especially in Africa. In 1968, Victor Turner wrote that wherever individualism, novelty, and change develop, rituals perish within a short time (1968:22-23). He believed that only in stable societies with a strong corporate life-those least influenced by technological change-is ritual able to maintain its function and that only with stabilization wou…

  • Composing time and space in Yoruba art

    Margaret Thompson Drewal, Henry John DrewalARTICLEWord & Image1987

    A survey of the verbal and visual arts ofYoruba peoples of West Africa suggests that there is an aesthetic preference for a certain form of composition and, further, that this form corresponds to Yoruba social organization. For scholars to identify corresponding forms in art and in social order is not new (Adams 1980: 92).1 Fernandez (1971: 357) in a discussion of Durkheim's theories, raises this important issue

    Open AccessMargaret Thompson DrewalARTICLEDance Research Journal1975Citada por: 1Referências: 7

    The phenomenon of spirit possession exists throughout Africa and many other parts of the world. Recent studies view possession as a performance, concentrating on the manner in which mediums become possessed and a description of the ensuing action. The following study of the Ondo ceremony of the Anago-Yoruba in Dahomey, while concerned with this, focuses more specifically on the numerous symbolic references to possession within the dramatic framew…
