70 anos da guerreira: a mestiçagem brasileira na tradução musical de Clara Nunes by Expedito Leandro Silva

“…Among the songs that best represent the artist portrayal are “Canto das Três Raças” and “Brasil Mestiço Santuário da Fé”, sang by her in the 1980s, the lyrics and interpretation showed the social Brazilian ethnological context in great detail. However, the cries of the people and the musical manifestation reproduced in the songs present an ideology of nationhood whose identity is the Brazilian miscegenation which means the cultures of the native Indians, the white and the black people.…”

Transitivité de l’action et ses expressions en trumai (langue isolée du Haut Xingú, Brésil) by Aurore Monod Becquelin, Cédric Becquey

“…This exercise requires a consideration of the interface between language and culture, a place where the use of different meanings of the term “agency”—defined on linguistic, ethnologic and ethnolinguistic levels—constitute so many avenues for interpreting our data (transitivity and agents, the semantics of verbs, the position of the speaker in relation to the agents to whom he is speaking, the status of parameters as animacy or specificity).…”

Obscuring Our Sense of Morality: Barry Hallen’s Yoruba Moral Epistemology and the Problem of Character Indeterminacy by Babalola J. Balogun, Aderonke A. Ajiboro

“…Built on his canonical distinction between knowledge (ìmọ) and belief (ìgbàgbọ) within the Yoruba linguistic framework, the Yoruba moral epistemology thesis suggests that knowledge of human character could be modelled alongside a similar pathway with knowledge of other propositional items where knowledge claims are made based on evidence obtained via first-hand information. Using Yoruba ethnological/linguistic resources as a methodological standpoint, our critique of Hallen’s Yoruba moral epistemology is primarily motivated by three fundamental observations: a. that the acclaimed distinction between ìmọ and ìgbàgbọ on which the thesis is based, is faulty; b. that the thesis does not agree to a certain conception of personhood within the Yoruba metaphysical worldview; and c. that the behaviourist implications engendered by Hallen’s Yoruba moral epistemology do not adequately represent the deeply spiritual essence of human conducts in Yoruba ethical system. …”
