Tribal Art

This book, the first of its kind, opens new perspectives in the study and knowledge of the arts and the functioning of African thought.
Starting from the principle that each human community has its own conception of the symbol and makes use of it according to its particular existential experience, the first part of the book shows, through concrete examples, the importance of the elements that make up the content of a culture, namely language, symbols, ritual practices, values and cultural references. (...)
The second part questions the concept of "art" from the conceptual fields constituted by the words that designate luba art objects. (...)
The third part proposes some analyses of symbolic objects in their natural contexts, from which emerge original suggestions of a methodological nature. Text: Clementine M. Faïk-Nzuji
