Abteilung für Afrikanistik und Äthiopistik Hiob-Ludolf-Zentrum für Äthiopistik der Universität Hamburg Alessandro Bausi Supplements to Aethiopica is a peer-reviewed monographic series launched in 2013 by Alessandro Bausi as a supplement to the international journal Aethiopica. The series intends to offer the state of the art of current research in the domains of Ethiopian studies traditionally covered by the journal. It intends to host medium-sized monographic contributions that exceed the size of a journal article, field-research surveys, and proceedings of workshops and conferences. It has a special yet not exclusive focus on themes and subjects approached within cooperative research projects. With several volumes already published, most of them richly illustrated, and several more in preparation, the profile of the series further strengthens the range of publications in Ethiopian studies of Harrassowitz publishing house. 2196-7180 10.13173/2196-7180 https://www.harrassowitz-verlag.de/series_617.ahtml Alexander Meckelburg Sophia Dege-Müller Dirk Bustorf This volume contains a collection of essays, some of which were first presented at a panel on Oral Traditions in Ethiopian Studies held at the 18th International Conference of Ethiopian Studies in Dǝrre Dawa in September 2012. The panel asked to investigate the proposition that, in the history of Ethiopian studies, reflection on the methodology of orality has not received the attention it deserves, given its importance in many fields of research. Nevertheless, the core matter of this Supplement to AETHIOPICA is to follow up on how Ethiopian studies deal with oral texts as historical and (in the broadest sense of the word) ethnographic sources. The editors and authors examine the methods and styles used in the study of oral sources, and provide methodological, theoretical, and empirical insights into the work with orality in Ethiopian studies. The introduction and thirteen case studies investigate, among others, the history of orality research, the interplay of written and oral evidence, methods of working in purely oral societies, and explore genres of oral traditions and orality in Ethiopia. 7 2018 2018 9783447110549 Harrassowitz Verlag https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.de 10.13173/9783447110549 https://www.harrassowitz-verlag.de/isbn_9783447110549.ahtml http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/j.ctvcm4fb5
