CHAPTER 49 : THE SPHERES OF POST-STRUCTURALISM IN NIGERIAN MUSICAL ARTS

Prof. Nnamdi Chiedu Onuora-Oguno

Abstract


The etymology of structuralism and later post-structuralism was dug into in this work. The relationship of post-structuralism to the expectations of the Nigerian traditional society was established. The analogy was drawn from various fields like linguistics and psychology. Levi Strauss's theory was x-rayed, the bloom taxonomy was brought to the fore, and the theory of Gregor Mendel was also analysed and later narrowed down to show the essence of poststructuralism as a synthesis of thoughts. The concept was later narrowed down to music and suggestions proffered for what the author views as standards of post-structuralism in Nigerian musical arts.

Keywords: Musical arts, Poststructuralism, Nigerian traditional society, Linguistics and Psychology
