Extractions: A Challenge mask. A BANGWA STYLE Bangwa lies at the watershed of two important culture areas of the Bamileke the savannah on the one hand, and of the Ekoi Cross River group of the West Cameroon forests and Eastern Nigeria on the other. Culturally the Bangwa are heterogeneous, although their language and social organisation ally them with the Bamileke. Bangwa art, it will be clear, has affinities to the art styles of both areas: local sculptors are expert both at the manufacture of the forest-inspired skin-covered head masks and at the savannah-type portrait statues. One problem is to determine how far this group of nine miniature chiefdoms can be said to have its own distinctive art style. The Bangwa are a very mobile people, receptive to ideas and inspiration from all points of the compass. It is therefore difficult to isolate one style or tradition stamping each work of art. From the forest, particularly from their nearest western neighbours the Banyang, the Bangwa have acquired a number of secret societies, with their associated masks. The Cross

Marketing these products while developing new products constantly, it creates work for disadvantaged communities with high levels of unemployment. The newly transforming South Africa has a rich tapestry of crafts people working with diverse, almost endless, natural materials: Beads, wire, wood, textiles, clay and glass are simply the most prominent. The beauty of the indigenous and traditional designs translate themselves into contemporary design home ware. The process of designing new functional or decorative artefacts with people of great artistic skill is an enriching endeavour for all concerned.

Extractions: by Lisa Francesca Andermann, MPhil, MD Editor's Note: Ours is a very diverse community, and epilepsy crosses all lines of race, culture and ethnicity. Each culture holds its own beliefs and attitudes towards epilepsy, and the social effects on the person with a seizure disorder can be devastating. Exploring the differing cultural perspectives held within our multicultural constituency is important if all people with epilepsy are going to receive the understanding and treatment they deserve. Below is an abridged version of Dr. Andermann's Epilepsy in Developing Countries Transcultural Psychiatric Research Review 32 (1995) 351-84, with permission. EPILEPSY IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES: INTRODUCTION The management of epilepsy in developing countries requires knowledge and understanding beyond the usual practices of western medicine. The population of developing countries, which makes up 4036 million out of an estimated world population of 5246 million, includes numerous variations in cultural, economic, political, and religious life, level of education and literacy, and rural and urban lifestyles. This heterogeneity translates into an equally diverse range of beliefs about the causes and treatment of illness. Epilepsy stands out in this regard because of the very nature of its symptoms, which include recurrent convulsions accompanied by loss of consciousness, as well as automatisms, postictal confusion, hallucinations, and delusions. These behaviours have impressed people from earliest times onwards as mysterious and frightening, and required a distinctive explanation within their system of belief.

Extractions: A jazz vocalist from Africa who sings mostly in his native Bamileke, but whose phrasing reminds one of Bobby McFerrin or Al Jarreau, Cameroonian Gino Sitson is the only vocalist who is incorporating indigenous African polyphonic techniques into the jazz vocalese tradition and, not only that, his musical as opposed to lyrical compositions consistently blends both traditions. Through his vocal wizardry, he stunningly imitates the sounds of the saxophone, trumpet, and bass. Sitson's daring musical project combines jazz, gospel, blues and traditional African rhythms and melodies in a most innovative way. He is a pioneer of a new generation of multi-culturally influenced African musicians who are integrating their own "in-between" living experiences (north/south, tradition/modernity, 20th/21st century) into their musical styles. He subtly blends tradition-rooted rhythms and melodies with original modern acoustic sounds, encompassing a particular stress on the voice. Freely exploring the use of his voice and body, combining his vocal acrobatics with amazing body percussions and miscellaneous effects, Mr. Sitson has forged his own musical style, a unique vocal technique. Experiencing the body as an endless musical resource: that's what Gino Sitson wants to share.

Extractions: The economic requirements of developing nation states are pushing the various governments into searching for products for export (wood, ores, plant products, even energy). The following activities put into practice to extract these products from the environment all entail a certain amount of risks, both for the environment and for the indigenous populations : - Forest exploitation extensive logging to provide timber and materials for woodwork, intensive logging to provide wood for paper pulp. - Mining big company mines, or small local mines exploited by craftsmen (gold, diamonds). - Hydroelectric exploitation building dams and flooding valleys. - Industrial agriculture, development of cash crops coffee, cacao, oil palm, coconut, hevea, sugar cane, etc. - Extensive livestock breeding forests are cleared to make pastures. - Colonization by farmers organized or spontaneous search for new land by farmers from other areas.

This conference was held at La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia, under the chairmanship of David Bradley. As well as a few talks on aspects of the general phenomenon of language endangerment, there were a larger number of talks on individual languages which may be considered endangered, notably those of Oceania and the Pacific Rim. And a feature of the conference was a final session on technical aspects of language support work: desirable properties of dictionaries and technical tools, and the particular problems that arise when one attempts to re-create a language on the basis of 19th century documents. In the case studies of individual languages, it was possible to discern the current situation of Irish in Ireland and Finnish in Sweden (both under heavy pressure from incursions of English Anders Ahlqvist), German in Pennsylvania (Kate Burridge), Tsimshian on the British Columbia coast (Tonya Stebbins), as well as many south-east Asian languages: theYi languages in southern China (David and Maya Bradley); Tai languages in Assam (Stephen Morey), and the languages of East Timor (John Hajek); was Taba being swamped by Malay in North Maluku (John Bowden)? In this geographic area, a special focus of the conference was bilingual phenomena in transplanted immigrant communities. So Aone van Engelenhoven asked how the politically inspired Alifuru concept, with its emphasis on Malay as a common language, and designed to preserve cultural solidarity of the Moluccans away in the Netherlands, had affected the survival of their various indigenous languages. (Her answer: very variously, sometimes eliminating the memory of languages (Leti), in other cases breeding a reaction and language revival (Ewav, Allang, Amahei), enabling the renaissance of protoypical languages (Alune, Fordata). Margaret Florey (whose paper appears in this issue of Ogmios) looked into the effects of its new immigrant setting in the Netherlands on the Amahai language, now being revived in later generations. Christina Eira compared the different, and increasingly incompatible, varieties of Hmong which are developing among refugees in Melbourne.
