Integrating a study of this performance genre with a detailed analysis of gender among the Baganda of Uganda, this book foregrounds the conceptualization of gender as a time-specific cultural phenomenon.
Long Description
Originally a royal court dance, baakisimba asserted the authority of the king as the head of Baganda society. After the abolition of kingship in 1967, baakisimba dance began to be performed in other contexts, with women sometimes playing the accompanying drums - traditionally a man's role - and with men occasionally performing the dance. Sylvia Nannyonga-Tamusuza argues that the music and dance of the Baganda people are not simply reflective of culture; baakisimba participates in the construction of social relations, and helps determine how these relations shape the performing arts. Integrating a study of this performance genre with a detailed analysis of gender among the Baganda, this book foregrounds the conceptualization of gender as a time-specific cultural phenomenon. Illuminating the complex relationship between baakisimba and Baganda culture, this volume bridges the gaps in previous scholarship that integrates music and dan
ce in ethnomusicological scholarship.
