  • F ortes, M eyer (1906–83)

    Open AccessSusan Drucker‐brownOTHERThe International Encyclopedia of…2018

    Meyer Fortes was a leading member of the pioneering generation of scholars who established the discipline of social anthropology in Britain and is probably best known for his study of kinship systems. However, his concern with kinship in the context of diverse patterns of political and religious organization as well as his interest in the psychological aspects of explicitly social behavior give his work a much wider relevance. Fortes's later work…

  • House and hierarchy

    Open AccessSusan Drucker‐brownARTICLEJournal of the Royal Anthropologica…2001Citada por: 7Referências: 4

    This article explores connections between the organization of domestic space and the contrasting political traditions of two closely related neighbouring peoples, the Tallensi and Mamprusi of northern Ghana. House design reflects major differences in the organization of labour and leisure, and separates residents by age and sex in very different ways. These variations on a common pattern reveal characteristic contrasts in political ethos

  • The political contexts of calendars

    Susan Drucker‐brown, S Drucker-BrownARTICLEInterdisciplinary Science Reviews2000

    Calendrical systems and concepts of the measurement and passing of time vary from one society to the next, reflecting differences in technology, cultural preconceptions, and political processes. This paper illustrates this variation with reference to societies ranging from small groups of transhumant herders and agriculturalists in Ethiopia to those modern nation states which collaborate in maintaining the most advanced atomic clock

  • The Grandchildren's Play at the Mamprusi King's Funeral

    Susan Drucker‐brown, Susan Drucker-BrownARTICLEJournal of the Royal Anthropologica…1999Citada por: 2Referências: 6

    A l'annonce de la mort du roi Mamprusi, ses petits-enfants pillent la capitale. Ils bafouent les pretentions du roi decede, de la cour qui lui survit et des princes qui cherchent a lui succeder. Ils resident dans le palais aux frais de la maisonnee du roi ; leur comportement scandaleux divertit des foules d'invites. Max Gluckman eut recours au terme de rebellion rituelle pour referer precisement a de telles infractions aux regles. Il vit dans ces…

  • The Court and the Kola Nut

    Susan Drucker‐brown, Susan Drucker-BrownARTICLEJournal of the Royal Anthropologica…1995Citada por: 4Referências: 1

    For the Mamprusi people of northern Ghana, the gift of kola nuts indicates respect and gratitude. Those who chew kola together should love and trust one another. The gift of kola is also used to initiate an on-going relationship in which the recipient may be expected to cede to a future request from the donor. Kola is thus associated with courtship. Mamprusi make explicit some of the ambiguities surrounding the English word 'court'. Mamprusi chie…

  • Mamprusi witchcraft, subversion and changing gender relations

    Open AccessSusan Drucker‐brown, Susan Drucker-BrownARTICLEAfrica1993Citada por: 18Referências: 6

    In the pre-colonial Mamprusi kingdom female witches were either executed after sentencing in the king's court, or segregated in a special section of a major market town where they received medicine to neutralise their witchcraft. This treatment of witches is a manifestation of the centralising process at work in the kingdom, and also exemplifies the division of ritual labour characteristic of the polity. Recent changes in the constitution of the …

  • The Python Killer

    Susan Drucker‐brown, Susan Drucker-Brown et al.ARTICLEJournal of Religion in Africa1991

    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…

    Susan Drucker‐brown, Susan Drucker-Brown et al.ARTICLEMan1990Citada por: 1

    This article examines the social organization of the Lobi, a society inhabiting Burkina Faso and Côte d'Ivoire, arguing for its characterization as a bilinear system. Drucker-Brown and de Rouville challenge previous interpretations that emphasize a segmentary lineage structure, highlighting the importance of both matrilineal and patrilineal ties in Lobi social life. They explore the roles of kinship, marriage, residence, and land tenure in shapin…

  • Mamprusi Installation Ritual and Centralisation

    Susan Drucker‐brown, Susan Drucker-BrownARTICLEMan1989Citada por: 6Referências: 8

    Rituals performed for the installation of a Mamprusi chief suggest a model of political centralisation analogous to the physical process of convention. Office (naam), like heat diffused by convection, originates from a single source and circulates through that source to the diverse courts which constitute the polity

    Chaque lunaison chez les Mamprusi (nord du Ghana) est associée à une fête qui a lieu 19 jours après l’apparition de la nouvelle lune. Puisque 12 lunaisons ne correspondent pas à une année solaire, ces fêtes se déclinent par rapport aux activités de l’agriculture, de la chasse et de la pêche. Ce calendrier reflète les valeurs hiérarchiques de la société. Les 12 lunaisons de l’année solaire sont rangées en couples et hiérarchisées, l’ensemble étant…
