- Description: The practice of traditional medicine or herbal cures among the Bakossi people of Cameroon, as in any other African society, has been viewed with mixed feelings and sometimes with outright disdain; yet, it has its own type of achievements, particularly in the area of therapeutic cures or exorcism. That notwithstanding, in contemporary Cameroon society one notices how the advent of modern technological developments and Western education has greatly impacted the practice of traditional medicine and the way tangomas (medicine men) practise their art. This study investigates people’s possession of a sacred but rare ability to use language in a way peculiar to orthodox linguistic norms. It demonstrates the fact that oral literature has significant roles to play in African herbal medical practice. Furthermore, the paper examines disease taxonomy and how it affects language use among Bakossi tangomas. It is based on the premise that tangomas place high priority on the magical power of the word, as evidenced in their incantations, invocations and chants. The paper concludes that tangomas possess the best stock of poetical expressions and dramatic dialogue, which they employ to establish a rapport between people and the supernatural forces in the process of healing

Symbolism of place and cultural identity in Cameroon
- Authors: Enongene Mirabeau Sone

- Type: Journal Article

- Description: Each society on earth uses essential symbols which resemble the key ideas, attitudes and values that unite its members. Places are key symbols of many cultures around the world that shape the social, economic, religious, political and psychological aspects of a people’s world view. Its study, therefore, is of primary significance in the systematic reconstruction of a people’s cultural and spiritual experience and provides us with a reliable means of information about different subcultural zones of many a tradition. Oceans, mountains, forests, grasslands, deserts, lakes and rivers form the word’s generalized natural areas. Cameroon is one of the few countries in Africa that has been blessed with all the five broad symbolic places. It is this ecological endowment that must have influenced the authorities to refer to Cameroon as ‘Africa in miniature’. In other words, Cameroon is a microcosm of Africa. Since the life and spirit of Cameroonians are invariably affected by the contrasts in the ecosystems, we intend in this article to demonstrate how a place like mountains can provide an indispensable resonance of symbolization in the cultural evolution of Cameroonians and how the influence of a particular ecosystem like the mountain can be used to establish, consolidate and propagate cultural identity in Cameroon. We shall examine the symbology of each of the major ecosystems briefly before concentrating on that of the mountain.

Swazi oral literature, eco-culture and environmental apocalypse

- Language: English

- Description: The main objective of this paper is to show how oral literature is engaged by Swazis with regards to environmental sustainability. It demonstrates the relationship between nature and culture as reflected in Swazi oral literature and how indigenous knowledge embedded in this literature can be used to expand the concepts of eco-literature and eco-criticism. The paper argues that the indigenous environmental expertise among the Swazi people, encapsulated in their oral literature, can serve as a critical resource base for the process of developing a healthy environment. Furthermore, the paper contends that eco-criticism, which is essentially a Western concept, can benefit by drawing inspiration from the indigenous knowledge contained in Swazi culture and expressed in their oral literature. The paper concludes by recommending the need to strengthen traditional and customary knowledge and practices by protecting and recognizing the values of such systems in the conservation of biodiversity for sustainable development

Religious Poetry as a Vehicle for Social Control in Africa: The Case of Bakossi Incantatory Poetry
- Authors: Enongene Mirabeau Sone
- Date: 2011
- Language: English
- Type: Journal Article
- Identifier: http://hdl.handle.net/11260/2624 , vital:42301
- Description: Religious poetry is generally considered the fruit of a people’s long reflection on their relationship with their gods, with the ancestors, and with the partly seen and unseen universe. It is used to celebrate events in the life of the individual and the community, to express fellowship, and as a powerful means of communication. Thus, religious poetry is an integral element of a people’s heritage. In this paper, I intend to present some forms of religious poetry, which are found among the Bakossi people of Cameroon, in order to show how magically-oriented formulaic expressions are used in order to maintain adherence to the normative order of society. The point I intend to make is that the incantatory form of religious poetry, was, and still is, used among the Bakossi people of Cameroon, as well as in other parts of rural Africa in terms of individual and communal education.
