148 pages. Month by month over the years Jocelyn wrote a letter to his parishioners in which he tried to put into words the high drama of the Church's year. He found stories from years ago and parables of our own days to illustrate time-honoured truths. Taking the reader into his confidence, he imparts something of his enjoyment and wonder at making fresh discoveries of God's love in Christ, which he wants to share with us, his dear friends.

Sehr gutes Exemplar; Einband stw. minimalst berieben. - Englisch. - A listing of popular literature published in Nigeria between the 1940s and 1980, reflecting its transition from a colonial society to an independent state. (Verlagstext) // 'Market literature' in the sense of popular, inexpensive, locally-produced booklets sold in general markets is to be found in various parts of the world. It is, however, the Nigerian form of such literature, also known as 'Onitsha market literature', that has attracted most attention since its discovery in the 1960s by European and North American scholars.For the purposes of this bibliography, Nigerian market literature has been defined as booklets written by Nigerian authors for Nigerian readers (mostly in English but also a few in some vernacular languages), which are printed and distributed by small, local, self-financing entrepreneurs. They are almost invariably stapled in ornamented card covers.The main genres within this literature are fiction, works on current events, plays, manuals of social etiquette, language primers, history, letter-writing, marriage and sexual relations generally, biography, poems, religious tracts, collections of proverbs and works on traditional customs and money-making. The British Library's collection of Nigerian market literature began with some thirty items purchased from a London bookshop in 1971. In 1978 a set of 129 booklets which duplicated items held by the School of Oriental and African Studies was purchased, already bound in seven volumes arranged by subject. ...

Gutes Exemplar; der illustr. Einband etwas berieben. - Vorwort von Christoph Stölzl. - INHALT : Einleitung ----- Postkarten aus der Kolonialzeit ----- Colon im Kontext von Edward Graham Norris ----- Bildteil Colon ----- Figuren und Objekte ----- Die Fremdheit afrikanischer Colon-Figuren von Fritz Kramer ----- Les maitres fous von Jean Rouch ----- Colon im Puppenspiel von Wolfgang Till ----- Voodoo von Gert Chesi. // ... es werden die traditionellen afrikanischen Kulturelemente wie Besessenheit, Ritual, Hexerei, die Repräsentation von Verstorbenen, aber auch Musik, Tanz und Schauspiel in einer Weise zitiert werden müssen, die zeigt, daß der Kolonialismus keineswegs allein zum satirischen Gegenschlag im Lips'schen Sinn inspirierte, sondern vielmehr die Tradition zwang, ihre Brauchbarkeit in der Lösung von Problemen und Konflikten zu beweisen, die der Kolonialismus lediglich heraufbeschwor. Der zeitgenössische afrikanische Voodoo, mit einer Gruppe von Figuren ebenfalls in dieser Ausstellung vertreten, veranschaulicht, daß die Problematik des Kolonialismus heute weitgehend integriert und aufgelöst zu sein scheint. So ist die Colonisation der Skulptur in Afrika nicht etwa das Ergebnis der kulturellen, geistigen und territorialen Expansion Europas, also keine originäre Leistung der Kolonisatoren, sondern vielmehr eine eigenständige Leistung der Kolonisierten vor dem Hintergrund ihrer Tradition - ein Ergebnis, das dem Europäer zwar nicht mit Satire, wohl aber mit Ironie entgegentritt. Es bleiben uns Erstaunen, Würdigung, Versuche der Deutung, und bei gewissenhafter Prüfung die Feststellung der Fremdheit afrikanischer colon-Figuren. - Jens Jahn (Einleitung)
Gutes Exemplar; Rücken verblaßt; Einband stw. berieben; Seiten minimal nachgedunkelt; minimale Bleistift-Anstreichungen (Ex. aus der Bibliothek von Dr. H. J. Koloß; vormals Völkerkunde-Museum Berlin). - EA. - In Frakturschrift. - Vorwort von Leonore Wulff. - Gulla Pfeffer (geboren als Auguste Melida Johanna Kellermann 20. November 1897 in Berlin; gestorben 9. Februar 1967 in London) war eine deutsche Ethnologin. ... Ende der 1920er Jahre machte sie eine Schiffsreise nach Kamerun und lernte bei der Rückfahrt den Afrikanisten Diedrich Westermann kennen, der sie in der Folgezeit ermutigte, eine Forschungsreise nach Kamerun anzugehen, und der den Kontakt zur britischen Mandatsverwaltung herstellte. Pfeffer erlernte in Berlin ein wenig Hausa und informierte sich am Berliner Völkerkundemuseum über das Anlegen ethnographischer Sammlungen. … Pfeffer unternahm 1927/28 ihre erste Expedition nach Kamerun und in das nordöstliche Nigeria. Ihre Sammelergebnisse und die Fotografien verkaufte sie an das Berliner Museum, sie schrieb Zeitungsartikel und das Buch Die weiße Mah. 1929 reiste sie mit dem Kameramann Friedrich Dalsheim und der Fotografin Lotte Errell nach Togo zu den Ewe, wo ein Film über das Leben von der Zivilisation unberührter Eingeborener entstehen sollte. Dalsheim fertigte aus dem Material den Film Menschen im Busch. Der Plan, die Expedition zu den Fulbe in Nigeria fortzusetzen, scheiterte, als Pfeffer an Kinderlähmung erkrankte und nach Berlin zurückkehren musste. Sie benötigte die nächsten zwei Jahre zur Rekonvaleszenz. Pfeffer studierte in dieser Zeit an der Berliner Universität Völkerkunde unter anderem bei Westermann, bei Richard Thurnwald und Fritz Krause. Auf ihrer dritten Reise (1932 bis 1934) wurde sie von dem südafrikanischen Journalisten John Carlin begleitet, der 1937 einen Reisebericht mit ihren Fotografien veröffentlichte. Sie mussten zunächst acht Monate in Lagos auf ihre Forschungsgenehmigung warten und gingen dann in die französische Kolonie Kamerun nach Lompta in der Region Adamaoua. Hier sammelte sie das Material für ihre Dissertation, mit der sie 1936 an der Berliner Universität promoviert wurde. … (wiki) // ... Und heute morgen habe ich sofort Abanda ins Dorf hinuntergeschickt, um ein Pferd aufzutreiben. Abanda ist der Messenger, eine Art Kurier, den mir der District-Officer zugewiesen hat. Er soll für alles sorgen: Träger beschaffen, Dolmetscher spielen usw. ... Er ist alt und gerissen und kauft mich genau so für dumm wie Assu. Diese, meine jetzige Cookboy-Perle ist vorderhand noch ein Buch mit sieben Siegeln. ... Ich liebe afrikanische Märkte ... Auf dem Markte kann man sich bis ins kleinste über alles orientieren. Die Eingeborenen kommen von weit her mit ihren Waren ... Es kribbelte nur so von Menschen. An einer Ecke saßen würdige Männer und verkauften Palmöl in wunderschönen kleinen Kalabassen. ... Die Weiber hatten große Toilette gemacht. Viele waren von oben bis unten mit rotem Puder bedeckt, zerstoßene und zerriebene Camwood-Rinde, andere hatten phantastische Frisuren aus Lehmklümpchen, die aussahen wie ein Hahnenkamm ... Ihr nackter Körper war über und über mit Schmucknarben bedeckt, und sie hatten kleine Holzstäbchen in der Unterlippe. Am Eingang zum Marktplatz stand ein Häuptling mit seinem Gefolge. ...

Gutes Exemplar; der farb. illustr. Einband stw. leicht berieben. - Englisch. - ... 37 maps and 5 tables document the dissemination histories of individual associations and 139 photographs illustrate their performances. The appendices consist of a bibliography, a glossary and an index. The study is based on research in the late 1980s, on fifteen months of field research in 130 localities in the Cross River region between 1998 and 2001, and a short trip in 2008 as well as on research in colonial and mission archives and specialized libraries ... PURCHASING CULTURE investigates the emergence of complex purchasable associations in the Cross River region of southwest Cameroon and southeast Nigeria. These associations emerged in the context of the growing transatlantic trade and were disseminated from the direction of the Atlantic coast to the hinterland. They diffused (and still continue to diffuse) transethnically across the region, ignoring linguistic and national boundaries, and forming translocal networks of owners of the same institutions. The study documents the histories of cult associations and their dissemination by purchase and sale which includes the transfer of immaterial property rights. This mode of dissemination differs substantially from that of secret societies in the West. ... With its central focus on the purchase of cult associations, the study explores the transaction of rights in the ownership of the institutions and their performances. The purchase includes the acquisition of rights in ownership, performance, secret sign languages, and knowledge of the associations' functioning. Owners of associations have developed a local form of a copyright system with which they protect their performances. Associations form a substantial part of conferring prestige on individual members in the Cross River cultures up until the present time. They function prominently in present day debates among the people in the villages as well as the migrants in towns. The study contributes to the regional history of small scale societies and their pre-colonial organization of trade in West and Central 'Africa, to theories of associations and of the diffusion of culture; and to the role of intellectual property in the context of globalization. ...
