Revel Nicole (ed.), Songs of Memory in Islands of Southeast Asia

The collection of essays in Songs of Memory in Islands of Southeast Asia provides a rich source of descriptive, interpretive, and analytical data interpreted from a wide variety of disciplinary and methodological schemes. These studies formulate a remarkable volume of individual and collaborative studies of oral traditions within a particular geographical region. A major strength of this collection as a whole results from the longstanding collaboration between its contributors along with thei..

Ethnographie de la poétique de la performance

Cet article propose un cadre d’analyse de l’ethnographie de la performance telle que l’ont innovée quelques chercheurs émérites dans ce domaine. S’inspirant surtout des ouvrages théoriques et méthodologiques d’Américains spécialistes en ethnopoétique, tels que Dell Hymes, Charles Briggs, Joel Sherzer et du folkloriste Richard Bauman, l’auteur cherche à dégager un système menant à la compilation et au traitement des données concernant la performance en proposant d’en dégager quatre catégories générales et interdépendantes : les figures et opérations poétiques, les fonctions générales et spécifiques des procédés poétiques, l’emploi de ces procédés poétiques en liaison avec les genres, et la mise en contexte (« contextualisation ») sociale dans laquelle se situe la performance des textes et des genres spécifiques. Introduisant une large variété de données linguistiques, anthropologiques et littéraires tirées de la recherche américaine et française, plusieurs méthodes linguistiques et anthropologiques seront présentées à l’aide d’exemples, permettant d’interpréter le rôle de l’expression poétique dans la société. En insistant sur l’analyse de la métrique que proposent Hymes et ses disciples comme point de départ dans l’interprétation de la parole, et sur ‘l’équivalence’ en tant qu’opération principale de l’expression poétique, cette contribution appelle les chercheurs intéressés par la performance à une collaboration dans ce domaine.This article seeks to advance a framework for performance ethnography as innovated by leading scholars in this field. Drawing mainly from the theoretical and methodological works of American ethnopoeticians, Dell Hymes, Charles Briggs and Joel Sherzer, and folklorist, Richard Bauman, the author strives for a system of compiling and processing performance data within four general interdependent categories: poetic elements and operations (devices), general and specific functions of poetic devices, genre-related use of poetic devices, and social contextualization within which specific texts and genres are performed. Incorporating a wide variety of linguistic, anthropological and literary data drawn from American and French scholarship, various linguistic and anthropological methods of interpreting the role of poetic expression in society are demonstrated. Placing emphasis on Hymsian verse analysis as a starting point in interpretation of the spoken word, and on equivalence as a primary operation of poetic expression, this paper calls for collaborative investigations between all scholars interested in performance

L’ethnopoétique et l’anthropologie structurale à partir d’un récit de Victoria Howard, Chinook Clakamas

L’ethnopoétique et l’anthropologie structurale à partir d’un récit de Victoria Howard, Chinook Clakamas. L’étude d’un récit de mythe chinook clackamas, énoncé par Victoria Howard au linguiste Melville Jacobs en 1930, fournit la base d’une comparaison entre deux méthodologies d’analyse mythologique. L’approche de l’anthropologie structurale innovée par Claude Lévi-Strauss et appliquée dans son interprétation du texte de Howard par rapport aux autres narrations du même mythe est juxtaposée à une analyse ethnopoétique qui s’appuie sur la logique interne d’un seul récit. Cet article cherche à démontrer la compatibilité de ces deux approches scientifiques à travers des éléments concrets du texte et s’attache, aussi, à souligner leurs objectifs communs, tant pratiques que théoriques, dans l’étude des traditions orales.Ethnopoetics and structural anthropology as seen through a narrative by Victoria Howard, Clackamas Chinook. The study of a Clackamas Chinookan myth told by Victoria Howard to the linguist, Melville Jacobs, in 1930 provides the basis for a comparison of two methodologies of myth analysis. The approach of structural anthropology, innovated by Claude Lévi-Strauss and applied in his interpretation of Howard’s text with relation to other narrations of this samemyth, is placed side by side with an ethnopoetic analysiswhich is based on the internal logic of an individual narrative. This article seeks to demonstrate the compatibility of these two scientific approaches using concrete elements of the text. It also points to common objectives of these two approaches, both practical and theoretical, in the study of oral tradition.Etnopoética y antropología estructural aplicadas a un relato de Victoria Howard, chinook clackaman. El estudio de un relato, de mito chinook clackaman, expuesto por Victoria Howard al linguista Melville Jacobs en 1930, aporta la base de una comparación entre dos metodologías de análisis mitológico. El enfoque de la antropología estructural instaurada por Claude Lévi-Strauss y aplicada a la interpretación del texto de Howard, con relación a las otras narraciones del mismo mito, se yuxtapone con un análisis etnopoético basado en la lógica interna del único relato. Este artículo intenta demostrar la compatibilidad de los dos enfoques científicos, a través de elementos concretos del texto y también, subraya sus objetivos comunes, tanto prácticos, como teóricos, en el estudio de las tradiciones orales

Early life child micronutrient status, maternal reasoning, and a nurturing household environment have persistent influences on child cognitive development at age 5 years: Results from MAL-ED

Background: Child cognitive development is influenced by early-life insults and protective factors. To what extent these factors have a long-term legacy on child development and hence fulfillment of cognitive potential is unknown. Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the relation between early-life factors (birth to 2 y) and cognitive development at 5 y. Methods: Observational follow-up visits were made of children at 5 y, previously enrolled in the community-based MAL-ED longitudinal cohort. The burden of enteropathogens, prevalence of illness, complementary diet intake, micronutrient status, and household and maternal factors from birth to 2 y were extensively measured and their relation with the Wechsler Preschool Primary Scales of Intelligence at 5 y was examined through use of linear regression. Results: Cognitive T-scores from 813 of 1198 (68%) children were examined and 5 variables had significant associations in multivariable models: mean child plasma transferrin receptor concentration (β: −1.81, 95% CI: −2.75, −0.86), number of years of maternal education (β: 0.27, 95% CI: 0.08, 0.45), maternal cognitive reasoning score (β: 0.09, 95% CI: 0.03, 0.15), household assets score (β: 0.64, 95% CI: 0.24, 1.04), and HOME child cleanliness factor (β: 0.60, 95% CI: 0.05, 1.15). In multivariable models, the mean rate of enteropathogen detections, burden of illness, and complementary food intakes between birth and 2 y were not significantly related to 5-y cognition. Conclusions: A nurturing home context in terms of a healthy/clean environment and household wealth, provision of adequate micronutrients, maternal education, and cognitive reasoning have a strong and persistent influence on child cognitive development. Efforts addressing aspects of poverty around micronutrient status, nurturing caregiving, and enabling home environments are likely to have lasting positive impacts on child cognitive development.publishedVersio
