Midterm Conference: Sustainable Governance in a Time of Global Flux: Issues, Concepts and Future Directions
Abstract
Abstract
This presentation is a field report on my ongoing research about the deity Akonedi and her shrines in the Akuapem town Larteh. Doing ethnographic fieldwork at her shrines, I trace the multiple ways in which Akonedi is present in people’s lives in Ghana. Based on my findings, I tell a history of thisdeity. I describe the present dynamics and workings of her shrines, locating Akonedi in Larteh’s ritual calendar and the transnational network of her shrines. I reflect on the main tasks and themes for furtherresearch on this deity.
