<?Pub Inc> This dissertation examines the contemporary social function of Malian <italic> jelis</italic> (‘griots’), arguing that material compensation and caste status are essential to a signifying practice with profound continuing relevance. As Mande society's hereditary “masters of the word,” <italic> jelis</italic> entrance their listeners with accounts of ancestors' heroic deeds, sometimes in the context of epic recitations and sometimes in popular song. These genealogical narratives function as praise in a society that understands filiation as an essential constituent of personality. Indexing an imperial social order with a fixed hierarchy and inherited bonds of obligation between patron and client, this praise reproduces the status inferiority of the caste of <italic>jelis</italic>. Gifts of cash and goods to the <italic>jelis</italic> on the occasions of these performances concretize the traditional obligations of nobles and, thus, realize the nobility of the givers. Material compensation makes the <italic>jelis</italic>' flattery true in ways it would not otherwise be. These gifts defy both the Maussian discussion of gifting and the Marxian analysis of commodity exchange, offering a new exchange model that implicates the symbolic and the material equally. The <italic>jelis</italic>' semiosis is performative in the sense that they help to create the historical imaginary to which their utterances refer.Subjects--Topical Terms:

Flattering people in terms of their clan contributions to Malian imperial histories—such as those of Sunjata Keïta, El Haj Omar Tall, or Askia Mohamed—serves a therapeutic function in a society where clan and lineage have been eclipsed as bases of power and wealth. <italic>Jeli </italic> praise strategies both legitimate individuals from obscure lineages who desire enhanced social standing and assuage the pride of descendants of formerly powerful noble families. In these ways, performances of <italic> jeli</italic> praise help Malians to negotiate the marginalizing effects of globalization. The continual recreation of status difference through <italic> jeli</italic> praise performances—in the service of modernity itself—contradicts Weber's assertions that social rationalization accompanies modernity.
