Gathering insights from distinguished scholars in the field, the book provides a range of contemporary interdisciplinary perspectives in the study of oral literature and its transformations in everyday life, fiction, poetry, popular culture, and postcolonial politics. Topics discussed include folklore and folklife; oral performance and masculinities; intermediated orality, modern transformations, and globalization; orality and mass media; spoken word and imaginative writing. The book also addresses research methodologies and the thematic and theoretical trajectories of scholars of African oral literatures, looking back to the trailblazing legacies of Ruth Finnegan, Harold Scheub, and Isidore Okpewho. Ambitious in scope and incisive in its analysis, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of African literatures and oral performance as well as to general readers interested in the dynamics of cultural production"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Folk literature, African $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Oral tradition $z Africa. 650 0 $a Oral interpretation. 650 7 $a Folk literature, African. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00928902 650 7 $a Oral interpretation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01047072 650 7 $a Oral tradition. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01047117 651 7 $a Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239509 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 $a Otiono, Nduka, $d 1964- $e editor. 700 1 $a AkoÃma, Chiji, $e editor. 700 1 $a Willemse, Hein, $e contributor. $5 IaU 776 08 $i Online version: $t Oral literary performance in Africa $d Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2021. $z 9781003111887 $w (DLC) 2020056140 830 0 $a Routledge African studies 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117031653.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3FECE5946F0E11EE98CA39D02DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
