- W2437078203 abstract "In his autobiographical memoir, The End of Religion, Dom Aelred Graham remarks that 'academic professors of religion are curiously prone to take in each other's theological washing, often in the form of more or less thinly disguised doctoral theses. Guilty as I am of the sin excoriated by the genteel British Benedictine, I wish to repent. It also strikes me that the topic of this paper may be approached as an opera in two acts, but not an ordinary opera, because there are two plots. The brilliant opera of Richard Strauss, Ariadne auf Naxos, may serve as a paradigm. The impresario planning to stage an opera in the first act tries out two very different ones in a rehearsal with the shirtsleeved orchestra. One is a harlequinade, the other a grand opera in the heroic mode, the story of Ariadne abandoned by Theseus to her lonely exile on the island of Naxos. He eventually stages both, combined in Act II. While Ariadne laments her abandonment, the principal female harlequin, Zerbinetta, tries to cheer her up with the thought that there are other fish in the sea. The good sense of Zerbinetta is vindicated by the arrival not of Death but of Bacchus, god of wine and ecstasy, to rescue Ariadne. A study of Islam and politics in Ghana, the religiously pluralistic African society of the title, also involves two conflicting but ironically complementary plots, schemata that no ordinary impresario would combine. On the one hand, the bearers of the Muslim religious tradition have penetrated the area of modern Ghana for at least as long as they have penetrated the northern half of Nigeria. But the progress of Islam in Ghana (principally the former Northern Territories, now the Upper West, Upper East and Northern Regions) has not equalled the progress" @default.
