Bemerkungen

Frisches und sauberes Exemplar in sehr gutem Zustand. Inhalt - Yoruba Spectaclei -- Gelede Performance -- Efe Songs-Voicing Power -- The Masks and Costumes of Efe Night -- The Dance: Texturing Time and Space -- The Masks of Gelede -- A Historical and Thematic Overview -- Gelede and the Individual -- Notes on Text -- Notes on Plates // Gelede masquerades, practiced by the Yoruba in homage to the extraordinary power of female forces in the cosmos, are lavish artistic performances involving carved wooden headdresses, cloth costumes, dances, songs, and drumming. The authors of this richly conceived study analyze song texts, music, and dance as well as oral traditions and personal histories to interpret Gelede as a symbolic representation of the Yoruba world view. Abundantly illustrated with black-and-white and color illustrations, mostly field photographs, Gelede offers an integrated perspective on the social and cultural functions of art. // Abb.: Arabi Ajigbale mask, Lagos. / The Great Mother masquerade in performance, Cover Photograph by Edna Bay. / Spirit Bird in performance, Ilaro.
