Book excerpt: A l'origine, le monde, pour les Aborigènes, était une vaste plaine, sans relief, sans animaux ni végétaux, plongée dans une obscurité sans fond. Puis un jour, des êtres surnaturels crevèrent l'écorce terrestre et commencèrent à parcourir sa surface, les imprégnant de leur force vitale. Ils creusèrent des lacs, soulevèrent des montagnes, dessinèrent des rivières, donnant au paysage australien son aspect actuel. Cette époque ancestrale et créatrice est appelée le " Temps du Rêve ". Les ancêtres mythologiques ont sillonné l'Australie en tout sens, en chantant les reliefs, les plantes et les animaux, et leur ont donné vie. Puis, épuisés par tant d'énergie créatrice, ils se sont enfoncés sous terre en laissant un rocher ou une fissure comme trace de leur passage. D'autres se sont projetés dans le firmament pour se matérialiser sous forme d'astre céleste. Les premiers hommes sont apparus pendant cette période, et les ancêtres mythologiques leur ont appris à faire du feu, à célébrer des cérémonies, à devenir les gardiens de la terre, afin de pérenniser le grand cycle de la vie. La confrontation avec les premiers blancs il y a deux siècles fut fatale aux peuplements aborigènes. La nature a payé elle aussi un lourd tribu à la mise en culture ou en pâturages par les colons. Aujourd'hui, parcs nationaux et réserves naturelles protègent de vastes espaces, témoins d'une Australie originelle, plus vieille terre pour les géologues, laboratoire de l'évolution pour les biologistes, et monde sacré pour les Aborigènes. L'Australie, le plus vieux continent de la planète, est un véritable laboratoire de l'évolution du monde vivant. Des forêts tropicales luxuriantes de l'est aux étendues désertiques du Centre rouge, des côtes abruptes du sud aux montagnes déchiquetées de Tasmanie, la variété des paysages engendre une fantastique diversité animale et végétale. L'étonnante beauté du territoire australien, sillonné par les Aborigènes depuis plus de 40 000 ans, et la magie qui s'en dégage, ont inspiré nombre de légendes et de mythologies. C'est à travers ces milieux naturels, empreints de symbolique et de sacré, que les auteurs, Bernadette Gilbertas et Olivier Grunewald, nous entraînent, sur les traces des ancêtres surnaturels qui, au cours de leurs vagabondages pendant le lointain " Temps du Rêve ", ont façonné l'œuvre unique qu'est la nature australienne.
Book Synopsis Rencontres australiennes by : Pierre Lagayette
Download or read book Rencontres australiennes written by Pierre Lagayette and published by Presses Paris Sorbonne. This book was released on 2008 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis les temps de la découverte, l'Australie a alimenté curiosité et fantasmes chez les Européens, puis une convoitise liée à son extraordinaire immensité, ses richesses minérales et sa diversité naturelle. Aujourd'hui la plupart de ses mystères ont été dissipés mais l'Australie fascine pourtant les Européens, comme si elle n'avait pas livré encore tous ses secrets. Peu de Français connaissent l'histoire de ce continent d'" en bas " qui, de l'autre côté de la terre, a dû conjuguer les traditions millénaires des peuples autochtones, la présence de bagnards et les exigences impériales de l'Angleterre. Devenue libre et moderne, l'Australie n'en demeure pas moins une nation hantée par un passé qu'obscurcit la non-reconnaissance de l'Autre aborigène. Hantée par l'illusion de la Terra nullius - cet espace vierge originel où doivent nécessairement s'exercer les prérogatives de l'envahisseur européen -, l'Australie cherche des moyens, légaux, sociaux, culturels, d'accomplir une réconciliation dont dépend en grande partie le sentiment d'une appartenance et d'une identité nationales. Depuis que les Jeux olympiques de Sydney ont soudain braqué l'attention sur elle, I'Australie cherche à offrir à son propre peuple et au reste du monde un visage apaisé, démythifié, débarrassé des fantasmes qu'avait projetés sur elle l' Europe, depuis la découverte. A cet égard, ce volume propose des regards avisés et originaux sur l'Australie contemporaine, rassemblés autour d'un thème qui explore la conscience de soi des Australiens confrontés à la nécessité de rompre l'isolement où les a contraints la géographie et où les a précipités l'histoire du peuplement continental. Des signes d'espoir sont néanmoins visibles : l'Australie en devenir est une terre vouée à unifier plutôt qu'à exclure, à accueillir plutôt qu'à rejeter, tout en préservant ses chances de construire une identité sociale et culturelle durable.

Book Synopsis Vitality and Change in Warlpiri Songs by : Georgia Curran
Download or read book Vitality and Change in Warlpiri Songs written by Georgia Curran and published by Sydney University Press. This book was released on 2024-03 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Warlpiri songs hold together the ceremonies that structure and bind social relationships, and encode detailed information about Warlpiri country, cosmology and kinship. Today, only a small group of the oldest generations has full knowledge of ceremonial songs and their associated meanings, and there is widespread concern about the transmission of these songs to future generations. While musical and cultural change is normal, threats to attrition driven by large-scale external forces including sedentarisation and modernisation put strain on the systems of social relationships that have sustained Warlpiri cultures for millennia. Despite these concerns, songs remain key to Warlpiri identity and cultural heritage. Vitality and Change in Warlpiri Songs draws together insights from senior Warlpiri singers and custodians of these song traditions, profiling a number of senior singers and their views of the changes that they have witnessed over their lifetimes. The chapters in this book are written by Warlpiri custodians in collaboration with researchers who have worked in Warlpiri communities over the last five decades. Spanning interdisciplinary perspectives including musicology, linguistics, anthropology, cultural studies, dance ethnography and gender studies, chapters range from documentation of well-known and large-scale Warlpiri ceremonies, to detailed analysis of smaller-scale public rituals and the motivations behind newer innovative forms of ceremonial expression. Vitality and Change in Warlpiri Songs ultimately uncovers the complexity entailed in maintaining the vital components of classical Warlpiri singing practices and the deep desires that Warlpiri people have to maintain this important element of their cultural identity into the future.

Book Synopsis Indigenising Anthropology with Guattari and Deleuze by : Glowczewski Barbara Glowczewski
Download or read book Indigenising Anthropology with Guattari and Deleuze written by Glowczewski Barbara Glowczewski and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2019-09-27 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays charts the intellectual trajectory of Barbara Glowczewski, an anthropologist who has worked with the Warlpiri people of Australia since 1979. She shows that the ways Aboriginal people actualise virtualities of their Dreaming space-time into collective networks of ritualised places resonate with Guattarian and Deleuzian concepts. Inspired by the art and struggles of different Indigenous people and other discriminated groups, especially women, Glowczewski draws on her own conversations with Guattari, and her debates with various scholars to deliver an innovative agenda for radical anthropology.
Book Synopsis The Changing South Pacific by : Serge Tcherkézoff
Download or read book The Changing South Pacific written by Serge Tcherkézoff and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2008-12-01 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The texts collected in this volume take an anthropological approach to the variety of contemporary societal problems which confront the peoples of the contemporary South Pacific: religious revival, the sociology of relations between local groups, regions and nation-States, the problem of culture areas, the place of democracy in the transition of States founded on sacred chiefdoms, the role of ceremonial exchanges in a market economy, and so forth. Each chapter presents a society seen from a specific point of view, but always with reference to the issue of collective identity and its confrontation with history and change. The collection thus invites the reader to understand how the inhabitants of these societies seek to affirm both an individual identity and a sense of belonging to the contemporary world. In doing so, it informs the reader about the contemporary realities experienced by the inhabitants of the South Pacific, with a view to contributing to an intercultural dialogue between the reader and these inhabitants.
Book Synopsis The Dead Do Not Die by : Sven Lindqvist
Download or read book The Dead Do Not Die written by Sven Lindqvist and published by The New Press. This book was released on 2014 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Dead Do Not Die includes the full unabridged text of "Exterminate All the Brutes", called "a book of stunning range and near genius" by David Levering Lewis. In this work, Lindqvist uses Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness as a point of departure for a haunting tour through the colonial past, retracing the steps of Europeans in Africa from the late eighteenth century onward and thus exposing the roots of genocide via his own journey through the Saharan desert. The full text of Terra Nullius is also included, for which Lindqvist traveled 7,000 miles through Australia in search of the lands the British had claimed as their own because it was inhabited by "lower races," the native Aborigines--nearly nine-tenths of whom were annihilated by whites."--Www.Amazon.com.

Book excerpt: Le Maître du rêve-fantôme est le roman de la survivance - physique, métaphysique et magique - d'une tribu aborigène sous la tutelle d'un missionnaire anglais à la fin du siècle dernier.

Un texte magique.
Download or read book Convicts written by Clare Anderson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-01-13 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clare Anderson provides a radical new reading of histories of empire and nation, showing that the history of punishment is not connected solely to the emergence of prisons and penitentiaries, but to histories of governance, occupation, and global connections across the world. Exploring punitive mobility to islands, colonies, and remote inland and border regions over a period of five centuries, she proposes a close and enduring connection between punishment, governance, repression, and nation and empire building, and reveals how states, imperial powers, and trading companies used convicts to satisfy various geo-political and social ambitions. Punitive mobility became intertwined with other forms of labour bondage, including enslavement, with convicts a key source of unfree labour that could be used to occupy territories. Far from passive subjects, however, convicts manifested their agency in various forms, including the extension of political ideology and cultural transfer, and vital contributions to contemporary knowledge production.

Book Synopsis Framing French Culture by : Natalie Edwards
Download or read book Framing French Culture written by Natalie Edwards and published by University of Adelaide Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout this book, the concept of framing is used to look at art, photography, scientific drawings and cinema as visually constituted, spatially bounded productions. The way these genres relate to that which exists beyond the frame, by means of plastic, chemically transposed, pencil-sketched or moving images allows us to decipher the particular language of the visual and at the same time circumscribe the dialectic between presence and absence that is proper to all visual media. Yet, these kinds of re-framing owe their existence to the ruptures and upheavals that marked the demise of certain discursive systems in the past, announcing the emergence of others that were in turn overturned.
Book Synopsis Desert Dreamers by : Barbara Glowczewski
Download or read book Desert Dreamers written by Barbara Glowczewski and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the heart of Australia, on the cracked red earth, among wild vegetation, weathered bush, and dried-up creeks, hundreds of invisible pathways exist that become entangled on the earth's surface, underground, and in the sky, clouds, and wind. The Aboriginal people call them Jukurrpa: “the Dreamings.” This web is the Warlpiri land. Practicing the Dreaming, by ritual art, is for the Warlpiri a way to reactivate their ancestral traditions to connect with the cosmos and respond to current social and political issues. In 1979, anthropologist Barbara Glowczewski embarked on a journey to study the Warlpiri in the Australian outback. Struggling at once to maintain their traditions and cultural heritage as well as adapting to the continuing secularization and techno-progress of their European Australian counterparts, she takes us into the landscape, artistic rituals, and turmoil of the Warlpiri over three decades. Becoming accepted among Aboriginal families as a translator, and at the same time a negotiator of two vastly different visions of the earth, contemporary Western culture and the ancient indigenous dreaming culture, Glowczewski created a singular document of ethnological fieldwork and of self-transformation and discovery.
Book Synopsis La Production Du Corps by : Maurice Godelier
Download or read book La Production Du Corps written by Maurice Godelier and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-02-14 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans quelle mesure le corps fait-il l'identité d'un être humain ? Et pour combien de temps si quelque chose survit de lui, après sa mort, ce n'est pas tout à fait son corps ? Dans toutes les cultures, il semble que l'humanité, sous des formes diverses, ait été amenée à imaginer l'être humain comme composé de deux parties : une partie périssable et une partie qui continue d'agir bien au-delà de la mort, même si elle n'est pas immortelle. Ces deux parties ne se réduisent pas nécessairement à un corps visible et à un animal double, invisible, mais qui meurt quand l'autre meurt. Chez les Maenge de Nouville-Guinée, l'individu a deux âmes, même s'il n'a qu'un seul corps. De nombreuses sociétés pensent qu'il faut plus de deux êtres humains pour faire un être humain. Il faut que l'esprit d'un ancêtre, ou l'action d'un dieu vienne sinon animer ce corps, du moins le rendre complet, le compléter. Chaque personne naît donc, s'étant inscrite en soi, formant comme une sorte d'intimité impersonnelle, un ensemble d'idées, d'images, de valeurs, par lesquelles l'ordre ou les désordres qui s'impriment dans son corps. règne dans sa société. Seize anthropologues et historiens ont exploré ces réalités culturelles dispersées dans l'espace et le temps.
