Abstracts
Editorial An essence of cultural studies in contemporary times is the need to capture identity markers and dynamics of peoples, groups and sub-groups through portrayals of the frames and movements of experience in such contexts that reflect the interaction of thought systems, social values and power relations. This issue of the journal seeks to answer to that crux by focusing on some aspects of Africa's cultural practices and productions that encapsulate mass participation. Drawing upon varied epistemological and disciplinary perspectives, it defines and situates mass culture in selected general or global phenomena (African and Western in particular) and within the confines of specific indigenous populations. Robin Goodman uses literature to debunk the myths of freedom and joy in the neo-liberal [mass] market prescriptions of the West for developing countries, and depicts the mass poverty that is sometimes the result of such proffered remedies. E.A. Babalola discusses folksongs as a mass activity capable of producing mass literacy in the African context; while Guerrero-Strachan pursues a positive synthesis between Africa's colonial xperience and its nationalist cultures. With other papers and sections of relevance to the theme, this issue, no doubt, provides critical insights into its chosen spheres of mass experience in Africa.

Dr. Constance Cortez Santa Clara University Department of Art Santa Clara, California Email: ccortez@scu.edu COURSE OBJECTIVES: This is not a survey course. It will not cover all the arts of all the peoples of Africa, Oceania, and the Native Americas. Rather, certain aspects of selected cultural traditions will he examined in order to establish a foundation for advanced upper division study of visual culture in these three areas of the world. In addition to learning about a number of specific cultural groups at particular historical moments, our goal is to understand more fully how art historical and anthropological methodologies, theories, and practices structure our encounters with the cultural materials of Africans, Pacific Islanders, and Native Americans.
Art as Technology: The Arts of Africa, Oceania, Native America, SouthernCalifornia (edited by Zena Pearlstone, Beverly Hills: Hillcrest Press, 1989) is available at the student bookstore. All other assigned readings are on reserve at the library. Additionally, there are a number of articles and books that have been placed on reserve in the library for supplementary reading.
EVALUATIONS: Student performance will he evaluated on the following
Class Participation Paper Topic (date) Exam 1 (date) Exam2(date) Research Paper (date) Exam 3 (date)
CLASS PARTICIPATION: You are expected to attend all class sessions and to turn in assignments on the assigned date. 2 points will be deducted for each day after more than 2 absences. This grade is also based on "active listening," that is, listening to what others have to say and offering your own comments and opinions during classroom and group discussions.

Series host Basil Davidson traces the routes of the medieval gold trade, which reached from Africa to India, China, and the city-states of Italy. African kings grew rich and powerful as a result. This episode traces the African gold trade from its beginning in the early Middle Ages through its end in late fifteenth century. African Carving: A Dogon Kanaga Mask AT-19

Middle school through adult
This film documents the process that a Dogon carver uses to create a Kanaga mask. The carver must find a proper Tagoda tree from which to make the mask; he must also pray and make offerings to the tree-spirit in order to be allowed to use the sacred wood. The Kanaga mask that he makes is one of the most characteristic emblems of Mali and it will be used in sacred ceremonies of the Dogon people. African Sculpture from Private Collections PS-29
42 slides / color / script
This kit shows examples of 19th century art from the private collections of Merton Simpson and Peter Pollack. The works illustrate the interrelationship of symbol, function, and style in African art. African sculpture expresses the values and attitudes of the society from which it came, and this fact is developed in the script that accompanies this slide kit.

32. Livestock production systems all over the world can be divided into four categories: transhumant, agropastoralist, intensive crops and livestock, and peri-urban intensive systems. In addition, there are a few not-so-obvious livestock systems. 36. The livestock production systems can be broadly divided into four categories of increasing responsibility based on gender and age:
  • no involvement by women; women responsible only for processing products; women responsible for managing and processing small stock and other animals kept at the homestead; and women responsible for managing and herding large stock and other animals, and for the processing of livestock produce.

3 Results and Interpretation During one yearly cycle Wodaabe herds and households move through a number of different ecological situations represented by indigenous categories of season. At the very beginning of the rainy season, Wodaabe herders leave the clayey plains of Kawlaa (south-eastern part of the map, e.g. locations Kabelawa, Baroua, Toumour, Kinziandi; see photo 1 ) where they spent the dry season to set out for the first part of their seasonal migration ( Baartol , see photos ) and reach a zone of sandy dunes (south-western part of map, e.g. locations Issari, Maine Soroa; see photo ). Decisive to this movement is the herders’ consideration of soil quality in these two areas. Light sand of the dune area is considered as allowing for a fast sprouting of grass and herbs whereas heavy dark clay of the plain area is considered as only allowing for slow sprouting. The first light rains produce young shoots more quickly and early in sandy than in clayey soils. Herders recognise the relation between soil quality and plant growth and put this knowledge into systematic use for three reasons:

NIGER
Land of Desert and Dreams
Turbaned men late at night around a bed of coals, telling age-old jokes to muted laughter, waiting for the tea to boil... Seductive female voices raised to the beat of an old wooden drum, calling their men to "ride, ride like the wind, just for me..." Soft feminine curves of sand, raised up and sculpted by the wind's ceaseless breath... Starlit Saharan skies... Villages where little that matters has changed for centuries... Where no matter how little you have, a guest is welcome to it... This is the Sahel. Life on the edge of the Sahara - the biggest, most beautiful desert in the world. Land of drought and hardship and bad politics. Land of mystery and romance and shadowy heroism. This is Niger, home of the legendary Tuareg, who take their identity, in spirit if not by heredity, from the ancient Berber and Bedouin tribes of North Africa and the colorful Wodaabe sect of the Fulani people. I've recently returned from a ten-day journey to Niger, where I participated in one of the most unusual and impressive promotional tours ever devised by a national tourism agency. In order to understand the truly unique nature of this tour and of tourism in Niger, it's necessary to be aware of some of the social, political, and cultural history of that country and its northern nomadic people.

IS THE ROLE OF RECONCILIATION PART OF OUR ROLES AS GREAT COMMISSION MUSICIANS AND ARTISTS? - (both locally and abroad?) (Editor's Note) - The scenario in the following excerpts has been played out in many nations around the world. Unintentionally, western missions has done much over the years to undermine the dignity and sense of worth of peoples of various cultures by labeling and denouncing their musical and artistic expressions, often across the board, as pagan and demonic.
In coming editions we will be talking more about aspects of contextualization - which in many ways is another way of referring to the practice of seeing various God-given aspects of culture that Satan has used over the years for his own worship and glory 'reclaimed' for the glory and whole-hearted worship of our one True God. Of course one of the major issues that believers involved in contextualization need to prayerfully consider is the danger of syncretism, but often we have erred on the side of 'throwing out the baby with the bathwater' rather than recognizing that God delights in the various 'colors' and artistic expressions of worship of His people of various cultures as they are reclaimed for His glory.
