66. California Newsreel | Taafe Fanga (Skirt Power) Ideas and Social Values of African peoples, edited by semihistorical human descendants,the indigenous, cave-dwelling Tellem; the dogon who invaded http://www.newsreel.org/films/taafefan.htm

Taafe Fanga (Skirt Power) Director Adama Drabo has devised a gender-bending farce set among the 18th Century Dogon to make some serious points about the status of women in Africa today. This proleptic tale about a comic revolution in which women's and men's roles are reversed was, in part, inspired by the actual role women played in Mali's 1991 revolution. Drabo surprisingly found the germ for his domestic comedy from a program on Dogon mythology he heard over Malian radio. He then wrote a script which provides a stunning illustration of Marcel Griaule's observation that, "In the Dogon system of myth, social life must reflect the working of the universe, and conversely, the world order depends on the proper ordering of society." (Griaule, Marcel and Germaine Dieterlen 1954 "The Dogon", in African Worlds: Studies in the Cosmological Ideas and Social Values of African Peoples, edited by Daryll Forde, P. 83.) Therefore Taafe Fanga 's story of sexual politics in a Dogon village necessarily involves the interpenetration of cosmogeny, history and the still unfolding present. The Dogon believe that all difference in the universe began with the splitting of the primal fonio seed into an ever-expanding spiral of space-time which can only be held together by a careful balancing or "twinning" of opposing energies.

LEARNING FROM ARCHITECTURE, II: WHAT ONLY HISTORY CAN DETERMINE Recommended Reading: Labelle Prussin, "An Introduction to Indigenous African Architecture," Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians 33 (1974):183-194, and 205; and Suzanne Preston Blier, "Houses are Human: Architectural Self-Images of Africa's Tamberma," JSAH 42 (1983): 371382.

Other sources: Frank Willett, "African Architecture"in African Art, chap. 4, pp. 115-137; Julius Gl¸ck, "African Architecture," in Douglas Fras, ed., The many Faces of Primitive Art: A Critical Anthology, Englewood Cliffs NJ, 1966. Lecture abstract : This week's lecture and section meeting are devoted to issues of method and practice in architectural history. We look at "ordinary" architecture in Africa, both to learn about one of the world's oldest and richest architectural traditionsalmost the only one that still survives from the dawn of human historyand to apply the same methodology that will are using to understand the Frick Fine Arts Building. African architecture works on a traditional village scale, rather than following global architectural styles: the representative works chosen for today may lead us to some root concepts of African style. It is difficult to look at architecture in Africa and to hope to cover the entire continent: my personal experience has been with traditional architecture in East Africa, among the Geriyama, but the literature is massively slanted to West Africa, especially to the architecture of the Dogon, Ashanti, Hausa, and Yoruba peoples. This literature is indeed informative, but only regionally. Trying to use it to discuss all of Africa would be like using Taos Pueblo in New Mexico as representative of all American housing.

They came into my life, after 5 years of studying with other channeled teachers. (See My Journey Their presence in my life was totally unexpected, and has been dramatically empowering, deeply challenging, profoundly healing, and lots of fun! My Guides They have been My Guides, who come to me as an Energy, and Feeling, of Love and Support. Whenever I focus on them, they are there. I've never seen them, or met them, in the Physical or even in Dreams, that I can recall, except through their blending with my own consciousness during channelings. Greatest Gift Their "Energy"

INTERCULTURAL PHILOSOPHY AND ART(IFK) Review of U. Loelke's book by H. Kimmerle Kritische Traditionen: Afrika. Philosophie als Ort der Dekolonisation , by Ulrich Lölke. Frankfurt/M.: IKO – Verlag für Interkulturelle Kommunikation, 2001, 250 pp., ISBN 3-88939-552-X The book of Lölke has served as a PhD-thesis at the University of Düsseldorf in 1999. It is a remarkable fact that his dissertation on ‘African philosophy’ has been accepted at this university. For, it was Prof. Alwin Diemer who introduced this subject to the international philosophical discourse when he organized the 16 th World Congress of Philosophy at the University of Düsseldorf in 1978. At this congress he arranged for the first time a symposium on ‘Philosophy in the present situation of Africa’. Nine African philosophers participated in this symposium. Five years later he called together a much larger number of African philosophers to discuss the subject ‘Africa and the problem of its identity’. Since 1978 the World Congresses of Philosophy are an important forum for African philosophers.

76. Review: Deconstructing "Matriarchal Myth" It has also been leveled at indigenous accounts of European conquest and Such traditionshave been recorded among Australian peoples, the dogon and Mende http://www.suppressedhistories.net/articles/eller3.html

Deconstructing "Matriarchal Myth" The outlines of the book's critique will be familiar to any well-read person. Feminists have invented a "golden age," a utopian narrative fantasizing a time when women were free. Eller calls it "a universalizing story: once things were good, everywhere; now they are bad" an account based on dualistic thinking and "a reductive notion" of who women and men are. (Wait, which is the reductive idea: that women have always been subordinate and men dominant; or that other models have existed in human society, and that even patriarchal societies show a significant range in the degree of domination?) Eller scolds that theories for the cause of patriarchy "tend to find fault with men," who are described as awful and wicked. But elsewhere we are told that "narrators of the myth are generally reluctant to blame men..." It's enough to give you whiplash. The Myth seems to admonish that the issue of identity under oppression should not be engaged directly. To speak of groups with common history comes too close to "essentialism." On those terms, it's hard to see how to stop the dominant groups' ideologies from continuing to define reality. As Chris Brickell comments, "the term 'essentialism' has become something of an epithet," even a term of abuse. ["Radically Speaking! A Reply to Alison Jones,"

80. MUST READING IN AFRICAN foundations laid down by the Black peoples of africa but what it was an indigenousblack african with Ogotemmeli An Introduction to dogon Religious Ideas http://dimensionsnews.com/READINGS1.htm

(Editor's note This is part one of a two part compilation of 200 books for serious readers and others in search of information from credible and credentialed historians, scholars and others addressing the black experience from various perspectives.) It is clear after some readings that the world rarely appreciated the magnitude of black peoples' contribution to history and literature. And in history and literature there is nothing more precious or sweeter than the treasures and secrets buried there. In black history one can find sweet joy mingling with the sadness of lost legacies, the horrors of a people who would become nameless, Negroes in America, in search of a past in an Africa that participated in enslaving its own. The idea of history is old, but in old things too are beautiful ideas, passionate and deep struggles reflected in our languages and cultures through which we tell our stories and the truths that knowledge portrays. Afrocentrists, Africanists, Eurocentrists, multiculturalists, integrationists, racists, purists, scholars and readers interested in the black experience will find here some books of intrinsic value, considered a must for your library and research to unearth suppressed truths of black history. Dr. Kwabena F. Ashanti, scholar, author, lecturer and psychologist at North Carolina State University assisted in compiling this advanced level reading list. "I always had an avid interest in history, and as I grew more socially aware, I became conscious of a deep void in the history of our people," Dr. Ashanti said. "For all practical purposes, it seemed barely to exist. I gradually began to understand that it had been so corrupted at the hands of those who have controlled the writing of history as to be hardly recognizable."
