Extractions: In the history of religions and cultures, nature worship as a definite and complex system of belief or as a predominant form of religion has not been well documented. Among primitive peoples the concept of nature as a totality is unknown; only individual natural phenomena e.g., stars, rain, and animalsare comprehended as natural objects or forces that influence them and are thus in some way worthy of being venerated or placated. Nature as an entity in itself, in contrast with man, human society and culture, or even God, is a philosophical or poetic conception that has been developed among advanced civilizations. This concept of nature worship, therefore, is limited primarily to scholars involved in or influenced by the modern (especially Western) study of religion.

Extractions: Curator Susan M. Vogel To reach the National Museum of African Art (NMAfA) from Independence Avenue, one enters through the Enid Haupt Garden. Straight ahead, looming above formal knots of flowers, rise the neo-medieval turrets of the Smithsonian Castle; pansy baskets hanging from Victorian wrought-iron street lamps conduct museum-goers from the street to the green. On either side of this entrance stand handsome contemporary buildings of polished limestone and glass: the Sackler Gallery of Asian Art on the left, the NMAfA on the right. This highly organized entrance situates a visitor within a three-dimensional emblem of colonial history. Disciplining the view, the overdeterminedly faux-European castle, which recalls the Smithsonian Institution's foundational mimicry of Britain's Royal Geographic Society, presides over a strictly ordered architectonics, consigning the galleries enclosing imperially-acquired artifacts to the periphery of 'civilized' space. On the one hand, this entrance makes visitors complicit in a colonial vision of the world, a complicity increased by having to descend below ground in order to view exhibits at the NMAfA and the Sackler. On the other hand, experiencing colonial space is an excellent introduction to a recent show at the NMAfA, "Baule: African Art/Western Eyes." Curated by Susan M. Vogel and originating at Yale University, this is an exhibit

Extractions: AFRICAN CULTURE Offspring of African Religion Independence has actually been attained with the aim of redeveloping or reshaping African cultural institutions for the cause of liberty. But freedom or independence is no longer a force to exert a fundamental and positive influence on the remnant culture of the African people. Neo-colonialism, for instance, gives it redirections, which neither serve domestic interests nor help make positive substitutes. Consequently, the propagation of foreign cultures, a means to colonialism and neo-colonialism, is now a commitment of every African nation. It is almost a conditionality for foreign loans and assistance. We can only, therefore, examine those values in the areas discussed and that spell the original idea of African culture. And this original idea will necessarily relate to religious concepts, teachings and practices. It will also mean the role of spiritual training and experience in human faculty advancement, how this affects language, food, dressing, politics, entertainment, et cetera. WHAT IS AFRICAN CULTURE?

Nov-1998 The skilful West African fabric makers and decorators are the inheritors of textile traditions which rank among the world's oldest and most appealing to contemporary tastes. The exquisite weavings of such master practitioners of the treadle-loom craft as the Peul, the Dogon and other peoples living in the Niger Basin, the intricate calligraphy of the Malian bogolan, the riotous colours and ingenious patterns of the tie-dyed and resist-printed fabrics of Africane Malinké of Guinea and western Mali and the Baule of Côte d'lvoire all display aesthetic merits of universal appeal. These merits have long been a certainty in the minds of museum curators and private collectors as well as a source of lucrative inspiration for fashion designers and interior decorators in countries far from Africa's shores. But these widely cherished traditions in utilitarian art have been of little use to their modern-day practitioners. Plunging local demand in the wake of rhe relentless onslaught of machine-made textiles has added to the perennial difficulty encountered by African producers of consumer goods in their efforts to secure outlets in affluent overseas markets.

Profile - Ivory Coast or Malinke) and southern Mande peoples found in the The indigenous culture of thecountry remains strong In 1944 Félix HouphouëtBoigny, a baule chief, farmer http://www.inadev.org/profile_-_ivory_coast.htm
Extractions: Côte d'Ivoire (French for "Ivory Coast"), republic in western Africa, bounded on the north by Mali and Burkina Faso (Upper Volta), on the east by Ghana, on the south by the Gulf of Guinea, and on the west by Liberia and Guinea. The country has an area of 322,462 sq km (124,503 sq mi). Yamoussoukro is the official capital, and Abidjan is the de facto capital and largest city. The coast of Côte dIvoire is fringed by a number of large and deep lagoons, most of which are inaccessible to shipping because of offshore shoals. Bordering the coast, a zone of dense tropical forests extends about 265 km (about 165 mi) inland in the east and west and about 100 km (about 60 mi) in the center. Beyond this, in the north and center, lies an extensive savanna (grassland with a few trees). The western part of the country is undulating, with mountain chains in the Odienné and Man regions. Several summits rise to more than 1,500 m (more than 5,000 ft). The principal rivers are the Sassandra, Bandama, and Komoé, none of which is navigable for more than about 65 km (about 40 mi) because of rapids and low water during the dry season. A Climate The southern portion of Côte dIvoire has a tropical climate, with hot and humid weather and heavy rains. Temperatures vary from 22° C (72° F) to 32° C (90° F), and the heaviest rains fall from April to July and in October and November. Away from the coast, in the savanna, temperature differences become more extreme, with night lows dropping in January to 12° C (54° F) and day highs in the summer rising above 40° C (104° F). Annual rainfall is 2,100 mm (about 83 in) in coastal Abidjan and 1,200 mm (about 48 in) in Bouaké, located on the nations central plain.

Extractions: Lecture VIII. The Socio-Economic Interpretation of Folktales Here we will begin investigating other methods for analyzing folk materialthe socio-economic approaches. While all tales do not lend themselves to these techniques, a surprising number do! Harris makes some interesting assertions in his book about Cows and Witches. He argues that many times the myths made by cultures are oblique self-explanations. These myths-as-culture-models, he argues, serve to give an imaginative justification to habits and mores that have arisen out of environmental and economic forces. If we follow his reasoning in the analysis of other folk material that we have encountered, we might have to see the Trojan War as a trade disagreement, and Paul Bunyan as a statement about resource management. Such thinking leads naturally into other observations about folk material and the societies that create it. You are now reading Jack Zipes, who is one of the leading theorists about the social and economic meaning of folk talesand we will explore his ideas in the next two lessons.

Extractions: The art of Africa enjoyed a period of great popularity on the international art market in the 1980s. Of the important collections that were compiled during that decade, many have become well known, and the collectors who formed them have often become important supporters of public museum collections, contributing time, objects and financial support to institutions that might otherwise have less active resources. Among these is Richard Faletti, whose energy for collecting and institutional involvement seems almost boundless. Despite his new-found enthusiasm, his first attempt at collecting was less than successful. He discovered that a genial merchant near his hotel in Jos had apparent access to tribal artifacts, including two "old" bronze masks and two small stone figures, which he purchased. In Lagos, later in the trip, he purchased two small wooden figures, which he later learned were ibeji. In his words, "One was crudely carved (at this stage I reasoned that badly carved work was really very primitive, and therefore collectible). The other, however, was in my judgment a little masterpiece. This carver knew about volumes and negative space. I still have this ibeji."
