Abstract:This is the second set of a series of conference papers presented at the African Literature Association Conference held in the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2004. Dedicated to Harold Scheub, the cluster honours the contributions of the University of Wisconsin-Madison folklorist to the study of African, especially South African, oral literatures. Following two introductory papers by Robert Cancel and Donald Cosentino, and a bibliographic paper by David M. Westley, the volume includes contributions on Sunjata in the greater Mande world (Robert C. Newton); Gbaya riddles of Cameroon and the Central African Republic (Philip A. Noss); Hausa (Nigeria) women's poetry (Beverly B. Mack); women in the African epic (Joseph L. Mbele); African literary criticism (Isidore Okpewho); a psychoanalytical approach to Kweku Ananse, the trickster figure in Akan (Ghana) oral narratives (Kwawisi Tekpetey); Zulu (South Africa) choral music (Liz Gunner); and Julius Chongo's (Zambia) visualization of dramatic narrative (Ernst L. Wendland). Bibliogr., notes, ref., sum. [ASC Leiden abstract]
