Abstract

Abstract : This is the author's response to the comments offered by J. Kwabena Asamoah-Gyadu, Rosalind I. J. Hackett, Duane Jethro, Stefanie Knauss, David Morgan, and Don Seeman on Birgit Meyer's book Sensational Movies . It addresses the entanglement of Africa and the West; positive and negative evaluations of African tradition and culture; the importance of a comparative stance towards imaginaries and the imagination in religious studies; the role of sound in relation to the visual; and material religion.
