I.lfe is incontrovertibly the most important Yoruba town in terms of art, religion and culture, it is therefore advantaged as a possible source place to solve the problem of the enigma surrounding the Esie stone carvings.This hypothesis is pursed to the conclusion that lfe is the most likely place that could have conditioned the Esie stone carving in their present location. An aberrant stone head, the largest among the over 800 stone carvings found in Esie is stylistically and culturally compared and linked with other Yoruba stone carvings from lfe and indeed a group of naturalistically carved stones also identified among the Esie corpus. This leads to conclusion of an lfe impetus for the creation of the Esie stone carvings.Item Decolonising the mind: issues of politics, identity and self-expression in post-colonial societies(Institute of African Studies, University of Ibadan, 2005) Layiwola, D.Item A History of theatre in Africa: a review(Intellect Ltd., 2006) Layiwola, D.Item Images of post-colonial identities(2007) Layiwola, D.Item The archaeology of knowledge and the field of dramatic discourse(2008-12) Layiwola, D.I have taken my theme rather than my title from the philosophical discourses of Michel Foucault in his classic work. The Archaeology of Knowledge (1977). Foucault tries, rigorously and implacably, to contain the imperial study of this ancient and pre-historical field and discipline within the elastic limits of the history of ideas and the literary concept of the oeuvre. We know that archaeology as a concept and as a method is not a language as in the association of signs. It is at the same time a form of representation of a past in its longing for a settled, stable, laid down and abiding present and an anticipation of a future that is settled and ‘dead', yet real, perpetually haunting and compelling attention. As an intellectual empathizer with the field - cultural or archaeological -1 hope to bring in. within the framework of the history' of ideas, the value of preserved knowledge. I shall cite largely from literature, drama and history why archaeology will continue to be a dominant, if not a domineering conceptual science in the cause of our present centuryItem Globalization and the future of Yoruba theatre traditions: an assessment(Yoruba Studies Association of Nigeria, 2008-06) Layiwola, D.
