Description:
Among the Mande (Mali, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea), the usage of a wide range of material artifacts manipulated on a regular basis to influence collective and individual destiny is well established. Of various shapes and sizes, these artifacts function as autonomous agents in the experience of their human partners, who greet them by words and blood sacrifices. Contrary to the classic interpretation of such sacrifices as a mode of communication with the invisible, in light of my analysis of the affordances of the sacrificial blood, they seem rather to be a mode of construction of the fetishes. Chromatically polymorphous and changing in their consistency from liquid to solid, sacrificial blood, poured unto these gods always in the process of becoming, not only constructs them physically but also shapes the way their human partners conceive of them as never fully achieved but meant to persist. This action participates in their production, providing their users with interlocutors, whom they need, in order to constantly renegotiate the existing power relation and to create new arrangements in the world perceived as highly unstable and permanently transforming itself.
