Culture in a dynamic society: A dialogic assessment of Ibibio masquerades in the age of technology

Abstract

Modernity is very attractive. In spite of our sometimes parochial defence of primordial primitive cultural practices, we still do always admit the superiority of modern technologies and the culture they proliferate. Ibibio masquerade theatre cannot shy away from the advantages that the new technologies of cultural representation offer. It can only negotiate with them. This is thrust of our essay.
