Focusing on the stories of Yoruba hunters' exploits, this work examines the immanence of narrativity even in cultural sites that value silence about particular practices. This presumed silence is especially highlighted in the case of the hunters because of the cultural and professional ethic that forbids them to tell their stories at home. Yoruba hunters' stories are told today and have even emerged as entertainment series on radio and television.1 1. The essay excludes the analysis of television performance because it was off-air for most of the time of the research. No recordings of the past editions were available. The electronic media outgrowth of the hunters' narratives exemplifies the dialectic of tradition and change in which the contemporary exigency necessitates a review and modification of norms
