Abstract

Sacred groves are ubiquitous on the cultural landscape of Ile-Ifẹ and they have been the site of most archaeological research in the ancient Yoruba city. But these studies have been driven by the view that sacred groves were places of static ritual traditions. Recovering the paraphernalia of those rituals, especially the exquisite sculptures, therefore preoccupied the pioneering archaeological research in Ile-Ifẹ. In contrast, the historical trajectories that defined the evolution and transformation of these groves as dynamic cultural sites have not been undertaken. We make the case in this article that sacred groves are dynamic and meaningful sites for historical negotiation. With this perspective, we conducted archaeological study of Oduduwa Grove in Ile-Ife with the goal to understand the broad sociocultural processes that have shaped the cultural landscape of the grove across different registers of time. The archaeological evidence in Oduduwa Grove dates back to at least the fourteenth century. We focus this article on the evolution of the grove during the twentieth century with emphasis on the materiality of colonial and postcolonial modernity and its implications for rituals of royal coronation, sacrificial rites, and feasting.Des bosquets sacres sont omnipresents sur le paysage culturel de Ile-Ife et elles ont ete le site de la plupart des recherches archeologiques dans l’antique ville Yoruba.

Nous faisons le cas dans cet article que des bosquets sacres sont dynamiques et fructueux pour historique negociation.

伊尔萨伊-伊夫尼(尼日利亚)Odùduwà Grove的殖民现代性、仪式和盛宴
神圣的树林在伊莱伊芙的文化景观中无处不在,它们是古代约鲁巴城市中大多数考古研究的地点。但这些研究都是由这样一种观点驱动的,即神圣的树林是静态仪式传统的场所。因此,恢复这些仪式的用具,特别是精美的雕塑,是伊芙岛开创性的考古研究的重点。相比之下,将这些小树林定义为动态文化遗址的演变和转变的历史轨迹尚未进行。我们在这篇文章中提出,神圣的树林是动态的和有意义的历史谈判场所。从这个角度来看,我们对Ile-Ife的Oduduwa Grove进行了考古研究,目的是了解在不同时间范围内形成Grove文化景观的广泛社会文化过程。奥杜瓦丛林的考古证据至少可以追溯到14世纪。本文将聚焦于20世纪林苑的演变,重点关注殖民和后殖民现代性的物质性及其对皇室加冕仪式、祭祀仪式和宴会的影响。Des bosquets的圣物无所不在,在Ile-Ife的支付文化中无处不在,在la plupart的遗址中研究考古,在l ' ancient ville Yoruba。主要的研究对象是那些有价值的人,那些有价值的人,那些有价值的人,那些有价值的人,那些有传统仪式的人。复原的仪式,特别是精致的雕塑,随之而来的是考古研究的先驱们对伊伊芙岛的关注。在复仇的过程中,历史的轨迹是一种明确的进化和转型,而这种转变是由社会、文化、文化、动态和企业组成的。在历史谈判中,传统的谈判方式和传统的谈判方式、动态的谈判方式、结构的谈判方式都是不同的。在不同的视角下,我们可以从不同的角度来理解这个过程,从不同的角度来理解这个过程,从社会文化的角度来理解这个过程,从不同的角度来理解这个过程,从不同的角度来理解这个过程。Les preuves archeologiques dans Oduduwa Grove remmonte moins a la quatorzieme世纪。这两篇文章分别是:《20世纪的宗教演变》、《现代殖民主义和后殖民主义的重要性》、《皇室礼仪》、《祭祀仪式》和《节日》。这篇文章是用英语写的。

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
