title: The search for sense : Dance in Yogyakarta.
Creators: name: Hughes-Freeland, Felicia
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1986

description: Dance plays an important role in how Javanese people represent themselves to each other and to non-Javanese. This study explores dance forms associated with the Sultan's palace in Yogyakarta, taken up by various interest groups after Indonesian independence. Part One presents a survey of current theoretical approaches to dance for anthropology, their limitations being illustrated by an analysis of palace dance, particularly the classification of forms, movements, and modes, and raises questions about the usefulness of the term 'dance', used here for convenience, not as an essentialised category (Chapters II-III). Implications are developed with reference to fields of aesthetics and semiotics, and I consider the relation of representations to reality (Chapter IV). Part Two introduces data about the traditional associations of these representations. Classifications and model- making in observer and informant accounts lead to how people make sense and how presuppositions generate discourses which allow meaningfulness to be delayed rather than fulfilled, and it is argued that 'poetic' features of this be rejected as constituting grounds for the formulation of the Javanese as 'other' (Chapters V-VI). How these styles of explanation affect our understanding of metaphysical dimensions is explored, from accounts of the self through Javanese theories of knowledge, to current Javanese polemics and what these make theories of communication look like, and how ideas about the past are used in the contest to define authenticity in 'classical' dance in Yogyakarta today (Chapters VII-VIII). The problem of closure in categories is the broadest concern of this study, particularly 'dance', 'Java', and also 'anthropology'. The perspectival approach aims to do justice to the ethnography, and to overcome misrepresentations arising from translations of indigenous terms and discourses. Though ignorance leads the fieldworker to take things too literally, informant ignorance is recognised. What data are is a matter of interpretation, and the conclusion hesitates to posit, and asks instead that we acknowledge our own tendency to create and rest on images, and take more note of what we are doing when we represent other societies to ourselves.

title: A socio-historical perspective of the art and material culture of the Mijikenda of Kenya.
Creators: name: Orchardson, Elizabeth C.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1986

description: The Mijikenda peoples inhabit the coastal hinterland of Kenya. They comprise of nine subgroups of closely related people who speak mutually intelligible dialects of the Northcoast Bantu. The nine subgroups share a common history of origins and common social, cultural, economic and political institutions. The thesis begins with an outline of the history and ethnography of the Mijikenda to the present day. This provides the basis for discussion of how the manufacture of the art and artifacts are linked to social, ritual and political institutions, and how they have been modified through the colonial and post-colonial periods. Particular attention is given to sculptures in wood and in clay that are part of ritual contexts. Problems of style, aesthetics and meaning are also discussed. Finally the present state of these arts is considered and the extent to which Mijikenda artists have begun to produce for an external patronage.

description: Conventional recommender systems (RSs) face challenges in precisely capturing users' fine-grained preferences. Large language models (LLMs) have shown capabilities in commonsense reasoning and leveraging external tools that may help address these challenges. However, existing LLM-based RSs suffer from hallucinations, misalignment between the semantic space of items and the behavior space of users, or overly simplistic control strategies (e.g., whether to rank or directly present existing results). To bridge these gap, we introduce ToolRec, a framework for LLM-empowered recommendations via tool learning that uses LLMs as surrogate users, thereby guiding the recommendation process and invoking external tools to generate a recommendation list that aligns closely with users' nuanced preferences.
 We formulate the recommendation process as a process aimed at exploring user interests in attribute granularity. The process factors in the nuances of the context and user preferences. The LLM then invokes external tools based on a user's attribute instructions and probes different segments of the item pool. We consider two types of attribute-oriented tools: rank tools and retrieval tools. Through the integration of LLMs, ToolRec enables conventional recommender systems to become external tools with a natural language interface. Extensive experiments verify the effectiveness of ToolRec, particularly in scenarios that are rich in semantic content.
title: Qingbai ware : A study of Raozhou porcelain of the Song Period.
Creators: name: Yoshioka, Hideo
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1986

description: Kilns in Raozhou established themselves as leading porcelain manufacturers during the Song period, aided by an abundant supply of good raw materials, a privileged geographical position, and a growing demand for refined porcelain vessels both in China and abroad. Conditions such as these, as well as the history of Raozhou kilns, are considered in the brief introduction where other kilns in the south that produced similar wares are also mentioned. The main section of the present study is devoted to the chronological development of the ware, and the datable tomb finds in Chinese archaeological journals are extensively discussed. This section is divided into chapters according to shapes, and different types of designs are discussed within a tentative chronological framework, with emphasis on following the developments of individual design schemes. A large number of specimens from collections outside China are referred to, in an effort to establish a relatively complete chronological sequence for each design. Comparisons are also made with products of other leading kilns, such as Ding, Yue or Yaozhou, and considerations are given to possible origins of the shapes and designs that are represented. Finally, a general picture of the chronological development of the ware is given in the conclusion, followed by a bibliography and a descriptive list of illustrations.
title: Monitoring land cover changes by remote sensing in north west Egypt.
Creators: name: Richards, Timothy Steven
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1986

description: The Mediterratiean coastal strip of Egypt is a semi-arid environment which supports a variety of agricultural practices ranging from irrigated sedentary agriculture to semi-nomadic pastoralism. The sedentarisation of the nomadic Bedouin coupled with an increase in population of both people and livestock and a decrease in the extent of the rangelands, has resulted in severe pressure being exerted upon the environment. Satellite remote sensing of vegetation offers the potential to aid regional management by complementing conventional techniques of vegetation mapping and monitoring. This thesis examines the different techniques available for vegetation mapping using visible and near infrared spectral wave bands. The different techniques available for vegetation mapping using remotely sensed data are reviewed and discussed with reference to semi-arid environments. The underlying similarity of many of the techniques is emphasised and their individual merits discussed. The spectral feature-space of Landsat data of two representative study areas in northern Egypt is explored and examined using graphical techniques and principal components analysis. Hand held radiometric field data are also presented for individual soil types within the region. It is proposed that by using reference data for individual soil types, improved estimates of vegetation cover can be ascertained. A number of radiometric corrections are applied to the digital Landsat data in order to convert the arbitrary digital values of the different spectral bands into physical values of reflectance. The effect of this standardization on the principal components is examined. The stratified approach to vegetation mapping which was explored using the field data is applied in turn to the digital Landsat images. Whilst the stratified approach was not found to offer significant advantages over the non-stratified approach in this case, the analysis does serve to provide an accurate datum against which to measure vegetation. In conclusion a satellite based system for operational vegetation monitoring is proposed.

title: Temple organisation and worship among the Pustimargiya-Vaisnavas of Ujjain.
Creators: name: Bennett, Peter John
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1983

description: The bhakti sect of Vallabhacarya, founded by the preceptor-saint of that name in the last decade of the fifteenth century AD, otherwise known as Pustimarga or the Path of Grace, continues to attract an enthusiastic following in northern and western India, To the outsider, Pustimarga is manifestly 'this-worldly' in its orientation. For one thing, there are no ascetics; the gurus are hereditary descendants of Vallabhacarya by virtue of which they are highly revered by their disciples. For another, the bhakti ideals of detachment, disinterestedness and dedication receive palpable expression in the lavish and energetic worship of temple deities which are regarded as actual manifestations of the infant Krishna. This thesis, based largely on fieldwork conducted among devotees in Ujjain city, central India, gives a detailed account of routine temple life and worship. At the same time it explores the nature of the correspondence between the spiritual and phenomenal worlds epitomised in the temple as the celestial abode of Krishna and in its paraphernalia as embodiments of the exuberant emotions experienced by participants in the divine lila. Of pairticular significance in this respect is the special emphasis which devotees place on sacred food and feasting. The temple is geared to a redistributive economy in which the circulation of ritual commodities, including sacred food, becomes an elaborate expression for the sharing of divine sentiments. But as many devotees point out, this altruistic system of worship is always open to abuse from those persons who would exploit it for selfish ends.

title: The problem of unity and diversity in the modern African State : A case study of the Sudan.
Creators: name: Squires, Rosemary Ann
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1978

description: This thesis examines the problem of human diversity within the modem African state, and in particular the efforts of one African state, the Sudan, to maintain its territorial integrity and to come to terms with its human diversity. The work begins by tracing the development of the nation state as a form of spatial and political organization expressing the relationship between the nation, the homeland and the political state. The variety of means employed by governments to adjust the relationship, and the forces within states which can lead to disintegration are examined. A set of criteria involved in the development of secession movements is suggested, and subsequently used as guidelines in the study of the phenomenon of secession in Africa. Consideration is also given to the variety of power-sharing formulae employed by governments as solutions to such problems. The traditional African concepts of spatial organization and attitudes to human diversity are examined to form the basis for an understanding of the effects of the imposition of colonial rule, and of the resultant post-independence experience of threatened disintegration and secession in several African states. In the latter part of the work an examination of the experience of the Sudan demonstrates the degree to which a history of resentment, followed by questionable colonial and postindependence policies, resulted in threats to her territorial integrity. The solution to the problem is examined and an assessment made of the possibility of success for the current, more accommodating policy of recognizing the reality of diversity and of encouraging decentralized government.
title: Traditional Chinese vegetable farming practices : An alternative to Western technology in vegetable farming in Southeast Asia?
Creators: name: Backhurst, Alan Edward
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1983

description: In the field of agricultural development in Southeast Asia little research has as yet been carried out on determining what possibilities exist for using the traditional practices of intensive Chinese farming systems as alternatives to modern Western agricultural technology for increasing the productivity of land. The aim of this study is to determine whether the traditional practices of the intensive vegetable farming system of South China represent practical alternatives to modern Western agricultural technology in vegetable farming in Southeast Asia. Information was gathered on the use of Chinese vegetable farming practices in a number of different environments. Fieldwork was undertaken in eight case study areas in six countries: Canton in South China; the New Territories of Hong Kong; Bangkok in Thailand; Lim Chu Kang in Singapore; the Cameron Highlands in Malaysia; and Manila, Cebu and Baguio in the Philippines. Analysis of the data collected shows that the use of traditional Chinese vegetable farming practices in South China is characterized by (i) high productivity of land (ii) negligible use of fossil fuel energy (iii) negligible pollution of the environment and (iv) high use of labour. It also shows that traditional Chinese vegetable farming practices have already been successfully used in a number of widely different vegetable farming environments in Southeast Asia. Whilst the current vegetable farming practices in the case study areas involve a mixture of traditional Chinese and modern Western practices, it is demonstrated that the use of these modern Western practices has nowhere significantly increased the productivity of land over that achieved by the use of traditional Chinese practices. Moreover, the traditional Chinese practices carry with them some important, indeed critical, advantages, related to energy, pollution and labour. The general conclusion is drawn that traditional Chinese vegetable farming practices represent practical and highly desirable alternatives to modern Western agricultural technology in helping to raise the productivity of land in a number of widely different vegetable farming environments in Southeast Asia.

title: Conformity and self-expression: A study of the Lohorung Rai of East Nepal.
Creators: name: Hardman, Charlotte Elizabeth
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1990

description: The thesis is an anthropological study of the Lohorung Rai tribe of East Nepal, based on twenty months of fieldwork. Its major theme is their conceptual system and in particular their religious and psychological concepts. The intention throughout has been to look at concepts, both verbal and non-verbal, in the light of my own developing knowledge of the Lohorung conceptual framework. The thesis is divided into seven chapters. The introductory chapter provides a background description, including an account of first impressions and fieldwork experiences, as well as the theoretical perspective of the thesis, a delineation of Lohorung households, and the significance of the domestic group. Since the superhuman beings permeate Lohorung everyday life, and provide them with a theory of causation, chapter two describes Lohorung relations with the superhuman world. For the Lohorung it is only by ritual action that they can retain the original order of their society which is constantly in need of renewal. Chapter three, therefore, looks at the Lohorung charter for living, the pe-lam or mundum, a body of oral literature that includes the mythico-historical stories and ritual texts that can bring back order and reinvigorate both their society and individuals, One of the most important rituals for achieving this renewal is nuagi. This ritual is described in detail in chapter four. Chapter four also investigates the religious and psychological significance of the house, the main ritual unit in Lohorung culture and begins to throw light on the complex concept-of saya, that is essential to an understanding of Lohorung ideas about the nature of Kan and personhood. In chapter five the most important concepts relating to the Lohorung understanding of personhood, namely aiwa, saya and lawa, are examined in terms of their significance in the cycle of life. This chaz5ter underlines one of the main conclusions of the thesis: that an understanding of Lohorung religious and psychological concepts are essential to a wider appreciation of Lohorung society, such as their types of marriage and indigenous political system. Lohorung understanding of emotions and inner states are described in the final ethnographic chapter, chapter six, The final chapter examines the implications of the Lohorung knowledge gained in the previous chapters in terms of Lohorung ethnopsychology and concludes that Lohorung psychology may be characterised as being one that stresses both conformity and self- expression.
title: Bateson's "Naven" : Towards an anthropology of performance.
Creators: name: Flavin, Ian Patrick
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1989

description: The thesis is an attempt to deal with two topics. The text consists of a detailed reading of Gregory Bateson's ethnography of the Iatmul of New Guinea, Naven (1936: 1958). In this classic work Bateson attempted to analyse a nexus of ritual and ceremonial activities among the Iatmul. The theoretical and methodological questions raised by Bateson in his book are of profound importance for anthropology in general, and for studies of "ritual" in particular. The tensions explored in Naven, between explanation and understanding, between action and interpretation and between intellectual coherence and social context, are crucial concerns for anthropologists working in the 1980s. Bateson's book was written at a time when structural-functional ism was the ascendant paradigm in British anthropology, and it dealt with problems which that paradigm was unable to formulate or to discuss. The thesis argues that many of the questions which anthropologists have raised about ritual would be better phrased as questions about performance, and it sets out to show that Naven can be read as a contribution to an anthropology of performance rather than as a contribution to an anthropology of ritual. This constitutes the second topic. The thesis considers critically the work of other scholars in this field, notably Edmund Leach, Clifford Geertz, Claude Levi-Strauss, Gilbert Lewis, Victor Turner and Richard Schechner. Turner and Schechner have recently been responsible for the development of a "dramaturgical" model of ritual and of broader social contexts, and the thesis concludes with a critique of some of the presuppositions implicit in their work. The notion of performance is not offered as an alternative category to that of ritual, for this would only replace one essentialism by another. It is suggested that the development of a theory of performance would constitute a useful strategy in contemporary concerns with the decentering and deconstruction of traditional anthropological categories.
title: Indigenous and institutional thought in the practice of rural development : A study of an Ushi chiefdom in Luapula, Zambia.
Creators: name: Gatter, Philip Neal
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1990

description: This thesis presents a critical analysis of rural, especially agricultural, development, viewed as social process. It considers how villagers and formal institutions understand economic activity, and how these differing perspectives inform patterns of practice. First, given that development is nominally about the formulation and implementation of ideas, the possibility of using the concept discourse as originated by Foucault is explored: an approach which treats concept and practice as reciprocally constitutive. The area first examined substantively is technical knowledge of agricultural production in Mabuunba. I show how techniques can be conceptually differentiated between "traditional" village methods and institutional interventions. This is followed by an exegesis of village political economy, stressing how kinship provides the foundation for an economy strongly premised on distributive processes. The third section examines the various formal institutions at work in the village, stressing a contrastive emphasis on the productive processes in themselves, particularly in relation to cash crop maize. Chapter nine then takes up the theme of productionism and distributionism as expressed in the political activities of the chief, to show how these different foci are arenas for the operation of power. The final chapter reviews the evidence, concluding that intervention articulated through maize (productionism) very closely resembles a Foucauldian discourse. Ideas about how maize should be grown are beginning to inform a new subjectivity for the grower: the modern, developed farmer who applies quantitative standards to the evaluation of production and people. It is shown how the discourse approach complements a more traditional Marxist one: by specifying the embodied processes through which capital becomes effective, and allowing for an ideological element in the determination of how people think and act, without granting ideology unqualified hegemonic status. Discourse in relation to agricultural research is reconsidered, suggesting some new ways forward, mindful of the limitations which productionism imposes.
title: Nominal functions and nominalisation in classical Chinese.
Creators: name: Freundlich, Jerzy
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1988

description: The present study is concerned with the identification and analysis of the major syntactic functions occurring in the classical Chinese sentence. Of these, it concentrates on those functions which exhibit one of the following two characteristics: that of initiating discourse or predication (e.g., SUBJECT); or that of being governed (e.g., OBJECT). The generic term assigned to these functions is 'nominal', and is employed not because they are always performed by members of the lexical category 'noun' (the syntactic unpredictability of classical Chinese word-classes is notorious), but because they are predominantly so performed and, significantly, because proper names, which are nouns par excellence, occur almost without exception in these functions. Although the study deals mainly with the functions described above, it is inevitable that considerable attention is also paid to other, 'verbal' functions with which the nominal functions are inextricably bound, either through governing the latter, or by forming the basis of the predication which the latter initiate. In this way it is hoped that an overall view of classical Chinese sentence structure may be presented. Known and established nominal functions such as SUBJECT and OBJECT are analysed so as to illustrate their special properties with regard to classical Chinese; hitherto unidentified functions such as CLASSIFICATORY COMPLEMENT and COMPLEMENT OF PLACE receive somewhat fuller treatment to establish their status as nominal functions. In addition, the function TOPIC is treated in some detail. The question of nominalisation also comes in for scrutiny. Qualifying under this head are those constituents which perform nominal functions but are not nouns or noun phrases. Separate chapters are devoted to both non-finite verb phrases and embedded sentences. The corpus under examination consists of concordanced pre-Han texts of the period c.500-c.250 BC, with occasional reference to earlier texts where a diachronic view is desirable.
title: Discourses of ethnicity : The adivasis of Jharkhand.
Creators: name: Devalle, Susana Beatriz Cristina
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1989

description: This dissertation examines the relationship between historical structure, human experience and social consciousness in the constitution of ethnicity. The area of study is the Jharkhand region of the state of Bihar in Northern India. The development of an ethnic consciousness among the adivasis (original inhabitants) of Jharkhand is an integral part of the history of British colonialism and of the modem Indian nation-state. This history explains the incorporation of the adivasis into the dominant order and the diverse modes of indigenous resistance to it. Only through such a historical analysis can we understand the present salience of ethnicity and the dialectics of cultural struggle in the Jharkhand region. In recent times, the changing modes of Jharkhand's collective identity have resulted in two projects: one is termed the reformist movement in this thesis and the other the grass-roots movement. The former has formulated issues purely in ethnic terms, concentrating on the demand for a separate state and promoting cultural revivalism. In contrast, the grass-roots movement was far more concerned with issues of class inequalities, ownership and distribution of resources, and the concentration of power in the hands of the state. To attain its objectives this movement sought a regional/class alliance and defined Jharkhand identity by fusing class and ethnicity. The core of this thesis examines these changing dimensions of ethnicity and the ways that different social sectors seek to formulate the problem. In locating the objectification of ethnicity within a historical framework, the thesis discusses basic issues concerning class, culture, social classification, modes of resistance and the forging of collective identities among subordinate groups, thus seeking to bridge the theoretical gap between social anthropology and social history, in the hope of contributing towards an interdisciplinary social analysis.

title: British medical and health policies in West Africa c1920-1960.
Creators: name: Nkwam, Florence Ejogha
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1988

description: This thesis deals with the parts played by the Colonial Office and colonial governments in providing medical and health services in British West Africa. The themes addressed are: the provision of medical and health services; the organization of Colonial medical research; and the recruitment of medical officers. The inter-war period saw the development of a number of medical institutions established in government centres by the various colonial administrations. The provision of health care facilities in the rural areas was the responsibility of local authorities. During world war two, the Colonial Advisory Medical Committee produced for the first time a statement of policy on medicine and health for the Colonial Empire. This emphasised not only the provision of curative facilities but also the provision of preventive health care services. Apart from the provision of medical and health facilities, efforts were also made to stimulate interest in medical research. Medical research in British West Africa before WWII was carried out as part of the routine duties of Colonial Medical Departments. However, the Colonial Medical Research Committee, set up in 1945 by the Colonial Office, was to exert considerable influence on research policy in the region. The committee, which was dominated by the Medical Research Council favoured fundamental research. However, fundamental research was considered not relevant to the immediate needs of colonial peoples. Instead, there was established a medical research organization, with emphasis on applied research and the investigation of the most prevalent diseases in West Africa. Meanwhile, between the wars, the Colonial Office tackled the problem of recruiting medical officers by creating the post of Chief Medical Adviser and by the amalgamation of the colonial medical services (CMS). Upto the outbreak of the war, however, the Office was still unable to meet the personnel requirements for the CMS. This problem was further aggravated with the creation in 1940, of the National Health Service. The end of WWII also saw an increase in international cooperation. United Nations specialised agencies such as the World Health Organization began to take an active interest in the health problems of African peoples.
title: Aspects of the phonology and verb morphology of three Yemeni dialects.
Creators: name: Watson, Janet Constance Elizabeth
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1989

description: This thesis challenges a number of widely held assumptions concerning dialectology. Generative approaches to dialectology have assumed that related dialects share identical underlying representations and that dialect variation results from different rules or different ordering of the same rules. In the introduction, it is demonstrated that this position is untenable. Firstly, it is claimed that there can be no such notion as an objective dialect and that the term 'dialect' is most sensibly used to describe what native speakers perceive to be their language variety; and secondly, it is argued that different dialects may have independent underlying representations. In this light, the task of the dialectologist is seen to be examination of the different levels of the grammar in which dialect variation may and does take place. In terms of this overall perspective, the thesis adopts a model of underspecification first proposed by Pulleyblank (1986) and Archangeli (1984). While certain aspects of the phonology are viewed as language universal, this model does permit and exploit language specific variation, and thereby proves particularly apt for an approach to dialectology which rejects positing a single underlying representation for cognate forms in related dialects. These general principles are applied to a study of three mutually intelligible dialects spoken in the western mountain range of North Yemen: Hubaiji, Gabiini and Kusmi. Aspects of phonology and verb morphology are investigated and it is seen how dialect variation is manifested in different components of the grammar. Chapter one establishes the set of syllable types and examines syllabification processes. Chapter two determines the identity of vocalic features and the vocalic matrix: to this end, the minimal vowel is established for the dialects. In chapter three, consonantal features are considered and the identity of the minimal consonant Is determined. Chapter four looks at the sound triliteral verb in terms of voice and inflection. Chapter five considers the possibility of two minimal segments within a single prosodic system and establishes the Identity of the minimal consonant at the lexical level. Chapters six, seven and eight investigate dialect variation in the lexical component by considering: feminine verbal and nominal inflections; non-sound triliteral verbs; and [+R] spread (the spread of lip rounding) as it affects vowels of the perfective verbal stem. In the Appendix, note is made of utterance-final phenomena.

Description.
Solitary turbinate coral with an elliptical outline. Septa made of large trabeculae. They are perforated, younger septa more than older septa. Septa rarely connected to each other. Symmetry irregular radial. Columella parietal. Wall with various rings of synapticulae. Endotheca absent.
Remarks.
Even the position of the specimen within the family Felixaraeidae is uncertain. In the Felixaraeidae, the trabeculae are still larger, the septa are stronger and synapticulae are more frequent.

title: Sarugaku, Dengaku and Kusemai in the creation of No drama, 1300-1450.
Creators: name: O'Neill, P. G.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1957

description: In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries No plays were given in several different types of entertainment, of which the most important were Sarugaku and Dengaku. The basis of No drama as it is known today was established by two Sarugaku players, Kanze Kanami Kiyotsugu (1333-1384) and his son Zeami Motokiyo (1363-1443), and their most important innovation was the absorption into Sarugaku of the music and songs of Kusemai, one of the many minor entertainment forms of the period. The following pages give an account of the parts played by these three entertainments in the development of No by describing various aspects of Sarugaku and Dengaku and, after establishing the original form of independent Kusemai songs, by showing the effect these had on the music and texts of Sarugaku No. The sources used in this were the articles on No written by Zeami and his son Motoyoshi supplemented, wherever possible, by other contemporary material. The object of the thesis is twofold: to give a coherent account, for its own sake, of the most interesting and important period in the history of No; and, by so doing, to provide a background against which other relatlied subjects, such as Zeami's artistic theories, may legitimately be considered.

title: The heroic recitations of the Banyankore : An analysis of representative examples.
Creators: name: Morris, H. F. R.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1957

description: In the first part of this thesis, after some introductory notes on the people and language of Ankole, a description is given of the principal characteristics of the heroic recitations. This includes the manner in which they are delivered, the style of their composition and the language used. An explanation is also given of the metric structure which underlies these poems and of the part which is played by tone. In the second part of the thesis seven representative recitations of the 19th and 20th centuries are quoted, translated and analysed. The conclusions reached are that the people of Ankole possess a living type of oral poetry of considerable artistic merit and also of interest to the linguist and sociologist which will well repay close study and preservation in a written form.
