Agnes Achola - The Issue Pedagogics

 

Regarding the last meeting that we had, we discussed at the last minute of the meeting with Roberts opinion about our pädagogik knowledge in the group,we did agree with him that its true that our knowledge about pädagogik is still very Row ( little) that we need to meet as a group and talk about it and see how we can solve or make a step forward regarding this insecurity.

So i managed to meet a girlfriend of mine who is a Teacher in Montessori school in the 1140 wien, and she give me some tipps like it is always good to discuss the work of the children with that particular child by asking the child questions regarding her or his work, so the work of the child is the center of discussion.

I found it very interesting, and she asked if we like as a group, she could meet us and give us a clue or a hint how to go about with the children and even she could organise for us a visit to her school.

What do you think?

 

 

Second Hand Clothes (Industry and 'clothing' habits)

 

Movumba (Second-Hand clothes in Uganda)

 

Non-local observers have paid passing attention, if any, to what people wear, attributing the dress practices of such markets as a faded and worn imitation of the West." (p. 103, tranberg hansen 2005)

 

 

 

In her article Karen Tranberg Hansen points out, that African (in this case Zambian) second hand clothes markets present much more than a undifferentiated pile of second hand clothing. Her article offers information about the segmentation and differentation in Zambia's second hand clothing market both in terms of spatial location and consumer demand. She gives basic information on the background of the international trade and the processes through which used clothing exports reach places like Zambia. She describes how the West's cast-off clothing is transformed into new garments on its journey from the textile recycler's warehouse to the retails space and onward though dress practices, in how, when and where the body is put together with clothing. Eventually she explains how traders and consumers 'give new lives' to the West's used garments.

 

 

The article is divided as the following: 

• Introduction
• The second hand clothing trade
• Zambia: preoccupations with dress
• Wholesale, retail and distribution
• Lusaka's Second Hand clothing markets
• Transforming value
• Clothing competence

As Agnes has recently been to Uganda, she had the chance to visit the big markets in Kampala. She managed to take some photos and interview resellers and consumers.

 

Gomasi

 

Uganda does have a national Dress.

Allow me to correct you where you misled readers or Kenyan women that Uganda has no national dress.

Ugandan women have worn the gomesi or busuti for close to 100 years. The gomesi, made of six metres of cloth, has sleeves made in a particular way. The gomesi also has a fashionable belt or the kisibiro. The gomesi or busuti is widely worn all over the country and not only by the Baganda. The Banyankole have their own dress but I can assure you they, too, wear the gomesi sometimes. Similarly the Batoro and the Banyoro also have their distinct own dresses for women.

Apart from these few distinctions, all tribes in Uganda wear the gomesi, be they from the north, east, west or central provinces. The gomesi is therefore our national dress. (...)

Anybody interested in seeing or trying on an authentic gomasi? Please contact agnes. We have also got some (curious) photos of this dress.

 

Costumes: Traditional Ugandan clothing and accessories come in a variety of materials and styles:

skins, belts, aprons, girdles, hairdressings and headdresses. In addition, a Ugandan may sport

facial, neck, arm, and leg ornaments. Here is a brief glossary of Ugandan clothing styles:

 

Akaliba Long hair goat skin, usually tied around the waist, for dancing

Ebinyege Leg rattles worn by boys in the Orunyege dance

Ebitambaala African head pieces

Ekikoyi Multi-colored Ugandan cloth worn most often by women on special

occasions or celebrations as a long skirt, or belted around the waist

Ekisenso Raffia skirt

Ekyesubizibwa Belt

Embira Beads around the neck

Emigaala Head dress from Rwanda

Ensiimbi Cowry Shells

Entogoro ring A cloth ring tied around the waist for the Orunyege dance

Gomesi or Obusuuti A long traditional Bugandan dress

Kanzu A white long gown worn by Bugandan men on special occasions; also

worn as a costume for the King's dance Omugundu

Leesu Large, multicolored cotton fabric used as a wrap or belt around the waist

 Apostil by Agnes: Obusuuti is the name that Baganda use for Gomesi.

African Philosophy

 

I just found a interesting link in a philosophie-magazine: www.polylog.org 

It's a webpage were philosophs from all around the world put there articles: 

• Godfrey B. Tangwa
• Gentechnologie und moralische Werte
• Eine afrikanische Meinung

 

 

Not yet read... but seems to be interesting and I guess there will be always some good articles also helping us with our project.

 

The homepage is in different languages...maybe they are also interested in our project from the philo- side..? (they sience will work together again...and maybe more wisdom will follow)

I read that at Kyambogo you can study Art and Design in combination with Art Education.

One is the

Faculty of Vocational Studies

Bachelors degrees in:
