Includes bibliographical references. This ethnographic study is intended to give voice to the feeling of those who value and depend on indigenous medicine and to examine how it has worked for the Luo. In this thesis we investigate how one acquired the skills of becoming a medicine man or woman. We examine how the medicine man or woman uses art to carry out the healing practices. We also look at how the qualification was manifested on the part of the practitioner. Special emphasis is made on language as an art, used by the patient and the doctor. Such components of art and language as myths, legends, folk tales, metaphors and songs of the Luo are looked into especially with a view to evaluating their contribution towards causes of illness and healing. 2014-07-29T20:19:30Z 2014-07-29T20:19:30Z 2005 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/3602 eng application/pdf Linguistics Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
