  abstract = 	{As the title suggests, this source is concerned with the symbolic significance of the Dogon granary. The author begins with a discussion of Dogon graphic symbolism in general and of how Dogon graphic design is anchored in the nature of Dogon thought. He follows with a description of the construction and physical characteristics of one particular Dogon granary. In the symbolic analysis of the granary Flam discusses 1) the relationship between the construction of the granary and the nature of Dogon thought and 2) the mythological events and characters and cosmology of the Dogon recalled and commemorated in the structure of the granary.},
