Canciones populares y literatura de África Oriental
Author: Aaron Louis RosenbergPublisher: El Colegio de Mexico AC
ISBN: 6074625816
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
Este estudio es un replanteamiento de la relación entre canciones y literatura en África oriental. Se examinan, en términos comparativos, las obras literarias y musicales de esta parte del continente con el fin de determinar y describir los caminos a partir de los cuales tales formas de la expresión creativa reflejan y transforman caminos prevalecientes y medios de formación de identidad de las personas cuyas vidas se extienden a través de varias "fronteras" y que desarrollan sentidos "superculturales" de sí mismos. El autor se basa en una extensa investigación de campo, así como en una multitud de entrevistas. La lectura atenta de las canciones y la literatura hace de este libro un estudio convincente para estudiantes de música y literatura africanas, y el análisis de las identidades africanas puede ser realmente para los estudiosos del nacionalismo tanto en África como en el mundo.

Holy Ground: Where Art and Text Meet
Author: Hans T. BakkerPublisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004412077
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 720
Book Description
The 31 selected and revised articles in the volume Holy Ground: Where Art and Text Meet, written by Hans Bakker between 1986 and 2016, vary from theoretical subjects to historical essays on the classical culture of India. They combine two mainstreams: the Sanskrit textual tradition, including epigraphy, and the material culture as expressed in works of religious art and iconography. The study of text and art in close combination in the actual field where they meet provides a great potential for understanding. The history of holy places is therefore one of the leitmotivs that binds these studies together. One article, "The Ramtek Inscriptions II", was co-authored by Harunaga Isaacson, two articles, on "Moksadharma 187 and 239–241" and "The Quest for the Pasupata Weapon," by Peter C. Bisschop.

Framing cosmologies
Author: Allen AbramsonPublisher: Manchester University Press
ISBN: 1847799086
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 486
Book Description
How might the anthropological study of cosmologies – the ways in which the horizons of human worlds are imagined and engaged – illuminate understandings of the contemporary world? This book addresses this question by bringing together anthropologists whose research is informed by a concern with cosmological dimensions of social life in different ethnographic settings. Its overall aim is to reaffirm the value of the cosmological frame as a continuing source of analytical insight. Attending to the novel cosmological formations that emerge in such fields as modern markets, political landscapes, digital media and popular cinema, the book’s key task is to explore how modern circumstances are constituted within the variable imagination of worlds and their horizons. It will be of interest to all students and researchers in anthropology, as well as scholars in fields as diverse as film studies, cultural studies, comparative religion, science and technology studies, and broader social theory.
