Sinopsis

Il volume � un esame a pi� voci, interdisciplinare, della cultura Baga della Guinea e, in particolare della rappresentazione della masquerade del serpente all'interno di tale cultura. Questa pubblicazione si presenta inoltre come la pi� ampia ricerca sul rapporto tra etno-zoologia e arte e rituale in Africa. Il testo inizia con un'esplorazione approfondita delle prove etnologiche e storico-artistiche della masquerade del serpente tra i Baga della Guinea durante la quale un’enorme figura di serpente in legno che rappresenta un pitone viene portata sulla testa. Mai vista o fotografata da un estraneo, tale ritualit� � scomparsa negli anni Cinquanta insieme alla maggior parte delle performance quale conseguenza dei rigidi divieti nei confronti delle religioni indigene imposti dalla jihad islamica. L’approfondimento del contesto rituale � seguito da un'analisi approfondita delle figure di serpente Baga oggi presenti in collezioni in Europa, nelle Americhe e in Africa, nonch� delle altre rappresentazioni del pitone nell'arte rituale della regione.
