Listening for Religion in Lagos: Preliminary Reflections
ABSTRACT For three weeks in January and February 2021, a team of researchers ventured into the streets of Lagos, Nigeria to document the relationships between sound, urban space and religious institutions and practices. In this article we present an overview of the conceptual issues that shaped our investigation into sound, including questions of noise, listening and religion. We also offer preliminary reflections on what we heard, as well as share samples of some of the sounds we recorded. Finally, we offer thoughts about future iterations of this project and reflect on how projects such as ours contribute to the development of African sound studies.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of African Cultural Studies publishes leading scholarship on African culture from inside and outside Africa, with a special commitment to Africa-based authors and to African languages. Our editorial policy encourages an interdisciplinary approach, involving humanities, including environmental humanities. The journal focuses on dimensions of African culture, performance arts, visual arts, music, cinema, the role of the media, the relationship between culture and power, as well as issues within such fields as popular culture in Africa, sociolinguistic topics of cultural interest, and culture and gender. We welcome in particular articles that show evidence of understanding life on the ground, and that demonstrate local knowledge and linguistic competence. We do not publish articles that offer mostly textual analyses of cultural products like novels and films, nor articles that are mostly historical or those based primarily on secondary (such as digital and library) sources. The journal has evolved from the journal African Languages and Cultures, founded in 1988 in the Department of the Languages and Cultures of Africa at the School of Oriental and African Studies, London. From 2019, it is published in association with the International African Institute, London. Journal of African Cultural Studies publishes original research articles. The journal also publishes an occasional Contemporary Conversations section, in which authors respond to current issues. The section has included reviews, interviews and invited response or position papers. We welcome proposals for future Contemporary Conversations themes.
