It further investigates pre-Wá-zó-ḅìá concepts through oracle terms, semantic doublets, and facial-recognition-like tests, supported by supplementary audio and technical tables, then concludes with cited literature and typographic notes.","Icons & oracles across the conﬂuence  \n(or, Metaphysical migrations)  \nVictor Manfredi  \nAfrican Studies Center, Boston University  \n[Consolidated draft 13 January 2021, last update 24 September 2026]  \n“Resta da vedere se, come tutti coloro che si scandalizzano (la banalità del loro linguaggio lo dimostra), ho torto, oppure se ci sono delle ragioni speciali che giustificano il mio scandalo.”(Pasolini 1975)[It remains to be seen whether I’m wrong like everybody who expresses outrage (as proved by the triviality of their discourse), or if instead my outrage rests upon identifiable reasons.]  \n0.
