Description
Wouter van Beek works primarily in Mali, Cameroon, Namibia and South Africa.Cameroon has been a place of study since my PhD work, especially the far North. The ethnography of the Mandara Mountains, in particular the Kapsiki/Higi, forms a permanent element in my work in Cameroon. In Mali the Dogon of Central Mali form the first focus of my research. Their relations within and beyond Mali and their reception of tourists form the topic of my research since 1980. In Namibia I have a project for MA students, under the auspices of the Utrecht University UNITWIN program, which is gradually expanding over South Africa.My main thematic interests are religion, cultural ecology and tourism, and these themes form my anchor within the "Agency in Africa" programme, providing both the theoretical and comparative framework for the empirical studies. |
