[edit] Description from course catalog
- This course will explore religious phenomena, performance, and artistic “agency” of the Yoruba and their descendants. We will look at Yoruba syncretic beliefs in the New World as well as in the Old World in relation to ritual secrets and choices for artistic representation, in the performance “arena.” After reading and discussion of written and verbal expression on this subject by practitioners, artists, and intellectuals, students will use dance movement, artistic representation, and “nommo”—the word to represent their own construct of a ritual—to render their example of a specific “construct” of ritual. , first-year students only.
