Téléchargement gratuit de livres audio Vodun Stories of the Fon (Benin) by Marjolijn Aalders Grool PDF MOBI 3896457349 - The present book contains a corpus of 37 Fongbe « hwènùxó » stories that were recorded by the author in 1976 in three villages in the south of Benin. The book presents the original Fongbe version as well as their English translations. The analyses of the performance of the stories have been published as volume 32 of the series "Verbal Art and Documentary Literature in African Languages" by the same author: "Verbal Art of the Fon (Benin)", ISBN 978-3-89645-288-7. "Hwènùxó" translates as 'words of the past', and indeed the stories of this genre are narratives of events in the past; they are stories of Fon heritage that have an educational element, i.e. they aim at the education of children and give advice for life. The stories in this book are preceded by an introductory part that gives the historical and ethnographic background of the stories as well as their religious meaning. Furthermore, it discusses the way the performers structure the narrative discourse of "hwènùxó" as well as the language usage, the underlying meaning and the elements that are used in creating the story. Moreover, the introduction elaborates on the procedure of collecting the corpus, the context of the performances and the process of transcription and translation. Following a bibliography and a listing of the performers and performances, the actual stories and their English translations are presented in the chronological order of their recording in the three sites.
