Isi artikel

Among the pastoral Nilotic-speaking Atuot of the Southern Sudan the social definition of self is dialectically related to the individual definition of society. One of the most significant means Atuot employ in the social reproduction of society and in the social definition of meaning is a form of oral poetry known as the "ox-song." By themselves, and in association with communal forms of dance, songs provide a model of and for the social reproduction of meaning. From one perspective it can be argued that each individual singer and composer orfers, through song, an answer to Simmel's problematic question, how is society possible?
