Book Synopsis American Indian Rhetorics of Survivance by : Ernest L. Stromberg
Download or read book American Indian Rhetorics of Survivance written by Ernest L. Stromberg and published by University of Pittsburgh Pre. This book was released on 2006-07-30 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Indian Rhetorics of Survivance presents an original critical and theoretical analysis of American Indian rhetorical practices in both canonical and previously overlooked texts: autobiographies, memoirs, prophecies, and oral storytelling traditions. Ernest Stromberg assembles essays from a range of academic disciplines that investigate the rhetorical strategies of Native American orators, writers, activists, leaders, and intellectuals.The contributors consider rhetoric in broad terms, ranging from Aristotle's definition of rhetoric as "the faculty . . . of discovering in the particular case what are the available means of persuasion," to the ways in which Native Americans assimilated and revised Western rhetorical concepts and language to form their own discourse with European and American colonists. They relate the power and use of rhetoric in treaty negotiations, written accounts of historic conflicts and events, and ongoing relations between American Indian governments and the United States. This is a groundbreaking collection for readers interested in Native American issues and the study of language. In presenting an examination of past and present Native American rhetoric, it emphasizes the need for an improved understanding of multicultural perspectives.

Book Synopsis Seeing Red—Hollywood's Pixeled Skins by : LeAnne Howe
Download or read book Seeing Red—Hollywood's Pixeled Skins written by LeAnne Howe and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At once informative, comic, and plaintive, Seeing Red—Hollywood’s Pixeled Skins is an anthology of critical reviews that reexamines the ways in which American Indians have traditionally been portrayed in film. From George B. Seitz’s 1925 The Vanishing American to Rick Schroder’s 2004 Black Cloud, these 36 reviews by prominent scholars of American Indian Studies are accessible, personal, intimate, and oftentimes autobiographic. Seeing Red—Hollywood’s Pixeled Skins offers indispensible perspectives from American Indian cultures to foreground the dramatic, frequently ridiculous difference between the experiences of Native peoples and their depiction in film. By pointing out and poking fun at the dominant ideologies and perpetuation of stereotypes of Native Americans in Hollywood, the book gives readers the ability to recognize both good filmmaking and the dangers of misrepresenting aboriginal peoples. The anthology offers a method to historicize and contextualize cinematic representations spanning the blatantly racist, to the well-intentioned, to more recent independent productions. Seeing Red is a unique collaboration by scholars in American Indian Studies that draws on the stereotypical representations of the past to suggest ways of seeing American Indians and indigenous peoples more clearly in the twenty-first century.

Book Synopsis Carlos Castaneda, Oportunismo Académico Y Los Psiquedélicos Años Sesenta by : Jay Courtney Fikes
Download or read book Carlos Castaneda, Oportunismo Académico Y Los Psiquedélicos Años Sesenta written by Jay Courtney Fikes and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-02 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millones de hispanohablantes consideran verídicos los libros de Carlos Castaneda, probablemente porque la mayoría de ellos no han leído esta traducción al español del libro del profesor Jay Fikes, Carlos Castaneda, oportunismo académico y los psiquedélicos años sesenta. El Dr. Fikes publicó este libro en Canadá en 1993, después de llevar a cabo años de investigación en México y en los Estados Unidos. Ahora dos españoles, Juan Samper y Lourdes Escario, han traducido el libro de Fikes sin retribución económica, convencidos de que será de provecho para todos. La afirmación central de Carlos Castaneda, haber aprendido brujería de un anciano indio yaqui llamado don Juan Matus, se contradice con las pruebas del profesor Jay Fikes. Su investigación revela que los escritos de Castaneda están basados en caricaturas de un huichol llamado Ramón Medina Silva y de otros indios mexicanos que conoció Castaneda. El libro de Fikes expone los elementos más sensacionalistas de la pseudoetnografía encantadora de Castaneda a la vez que examina quién y qué le ayudó a convertirse en un héroe antropológico y en uno de los padrinos del movimiento New Age. El libro de Fikes inspira respeto por los rituales huicholes de los primeros frutos y por las peregrinaciones del peyote, resume las ceremonias de la Native American Church y repasa los momentos culminantes de los años sesenta, la época turbulenta en la que Castaneda se convirtió en un autor de éxito. Fikes muestra cómo y por qué Aldous Huxley, el Dr. Timothy Leary, Gordon Wasson y varios antropólogos de Los Angeles contribuyeron a crear una audiencia ansiosa por creer que los cuentos chinos de Castaneda eran ciertos. Fikes explica cómo y por qué Castaneda y sus aliados antropólogos de la Universidad de California en Los Angeles hicieron de los huicholes un imán para buscadores de chamanes análogos al maestro de ficción de Castaneda, don Juan, poniendo así en peligro las ancestrales peregrinaciones del peyote de los huicholes. Algunos creyentes en las historias sensacionalistas de Castaneda contribuyeron al trágico fallo del Tribunal Supremo de los Estados Unidos de 1990, que denegaba la libertad religiosa a unos 300.000 miembros de la Native American Church que veneran el peyote. La extensa investigación de Fikes y su experiencia de primera mano con peyote entre los huicholes y en las ceremonias de la Native American Church le cualifican de modo excepcional para desacreditar las absurdas alegaciones de Castaneda sobre chamanes y peyote, entre ellas su afirmación de que el espíritu del peyote ("Mescalito") decretó su aprendizaje con don Juan Matus. El autor del prefacio, Dr. Phil Weigand, es Profesor Investigador del Centro de Estudios Arqueológicos en el Colegio de Michoacán. Ha publicado numerosos libros y artículos académicos sobre los huicholes, cuya historia y cultura empezó a estudiar en 1965 en San Sebastián con su esposa, Acelia Garcia. Los traductores de este libro, Lourdes (Clara) Escario y Juan Samper, son españoles. Lourdes Escario es licenciada en Filología Inglesa y profesora de inglés en un instituto de enseñanza secundaria en Palencia. Juan Samper es veterinario y licenciado en Filosofía. Tanto Juan Samper como Jay Fikes han llevado a cabo peregrinaciones bajo la tutela del mismo chamán huichol Jesús González. Carlos Castaneda's books are accepted as truthful by millions of Spanish speakers, probably because most of them have not read this Spanish translation of Professor Fikes' book, Carlos Castaneda, Academic Opportunism and the Psychedelic Sixties. Dr. Fikes published this book in 1993 in Canada, after completing years of research in Mexico and the United States. Now two Spaniards, Juan Samper and Lourdes Escario, have translated Fikes' book without payment, convinced that it is valuable for everybody. Carlos Castaneda's central claim, to have learned sorcery from an elderly Yaqui Indian named don Juan Matus, is contradicted by Professor Jay Fikes' evidence. Fikes'
