The Python Killer
The Python Killer
Nzema of West Africa, who inhabit a land of forest and lagoons along the Atlantic, continue a heritage untapped by anthropologists and scarcely influenced by Western civilization. Vinigi L. Grottanelli first discovered the rich culture of this southern Ghanaian tribe in 1954. Over the next three decades, intermittent sojourns enabled Grottanelli to develop friendships with the Nzema and learn about their beliefs, traditions, and practices. In twe…

Anthropologists Versus Missionaries
Although a missionary once served as president of the Royal Anthropological Institute, anthropological enculturation commonly includes categorizing missionaries as enemies. The conditioning seems to be more covert than overt, since anthropology texbooks seldom deal specifically with missionary activity and few ethnographies contain condemnations of missionaries. Two presuppositions which may influence the antimissionary attitude are (1) that the …

Ethnology and/or Cultural Anthropology in Italy
The paper attempts to summarize the development of ethnology in Italy, from its early antecedents in past centuries to the present day, and its relation to other sciences of man as understood and organized in the country. Since 1870, the year in which the nation's political unification was completed, the unity of anthropological disciplines has been recognized in principe and reflected in the programs of learned societies, specialized museums, sc…

On a toujours ignore l'existence de l'Afrique Orientale dans les bilans de l'art africain. Cette desinvolture a meme ete jusqu'a nier l'existence de toute production artistique dans ces regions. Une telle attitude est, bien sur, par trop simpliste. Quoique limitee, la production artistique de la Somalie comprend de belles gravures sur bois d'une qualite remarquable–des vases sculptees, des peignes a cheveux minutieusement travailles et surtout de…
Steps Toward a Unified Anthropology [and Comments and Reply]
It is generally recognized that there exists currently a strong trend toward the "fractionation" of anthropology and the "absorption" of its several subdivisions into other disciplines. On the other hand, if we are striving for a balanced perspective on present-day anthropology we should not ignore a concurrent movement toward the integration of biological and sociocultural anthropology into a unified science. In this paper an attempt is made to …

Pre-Existence and Survival in Nzema Beliefs
Asoŋu Worship among the Nzema
IntroductionApart from its aesthetic evaluation, the study of any art object or class of objects should be carried out following three distinct though interrelated lines of analysis. The first is iconographic, i.e. at the same time morphological, technological, and historical, and concerns the nature of the objects per se, their formal characters, the technique of production, their distribution in space and time, and their stylistic affinities to…
Sul Significato della Scultura Africana
Opening ParagraphLa conoscenza della scultura africana ha avuto una storia paradossale. Nei secoli in cui fioriva in Europa la moda dell'esotismo orientaleggiante, quest'arte esotica per eccellenza fu totalmente ignorata; ma essa divenne celebre nel momento in cui l'esotismo tramontava. I suoi capolavori più genuini furono raccolti a migliaia quando quasi nessuno sospettava il loro intrinseco valore; acquistarono iperbolica fama ad opera di perso…
