Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Con este libro se busca ahondar, precisar y ofrecer un esquema sinóptico al asunto del empleo de los enteógenos en las últimas etapas de la Prehistoria: el Neolítico, la Edad de los metales y la Prehistoria reciente. Además, a través del contraste y exposición de datos arqueo botánicos, se pretende llegar a las semejanzas y diferencias en el consumo de psicoactivos en la Prehistoria tardía europea, cribando el análisis en la demarcación geográfica. Por último, se da voz, de igual modo, a la visión antropológica del asunto, incidiendo en la relación del ser humano con las distintas deidades vinculadas al consumo de psicoactivos, estableciendo un recorrido que puede arrojar luz sobre la situación actual en dicha materia.
Book Synopsis Los chamanes de la prehistoria by : Jean Clottes
Download or read book Los chamanes de la prehistoria written by Jean Clottes and published by . This book was released on 2010-11-04 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Para todo el mundo y en todas las épocas, los hombres han buscado entrar en contacto con el mundo de los espíritus por medio de los chamanes y de sus viajes durante el trance. Por este motivo, resulta legítimo tratar de decubrir estas prácticas en el arte prehistórico de las cuevas. El libro Los chamanes de la prehistoria ha marcado un hito: sin hacer del chamanismo una explicación única avanza hipótesis, presenta interesantes propuestas y permite entrever el sentido de algunas de sus obras. Acogido con pasión en Francia y en el extranjero, también ha encontrado detractores y ha generado polémicas. A estas críticas, los autores responden con precisión y planteado una importante cuestión: cómo hacer que la ciencia, con el rigor pero también con la curiosidad y la libertad de espíritu que deberían caracterizarla, permita aproximarnos lo más cerca a las motivaciones de estos artistas y al sentido de su excepcional arte.
Book Synopsis Andean Foodways by : John E. Staller
Download or read book Andean Foodways written by John E. Staller and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is widespread acknowledgement among anthropologists, archaeologists, ethnobotanists, as well as researchers in related disciplines that specific foods and cuisines are linked very strongly to the formation and maintenance of cultural identity and ethnicity. Strong associations of foodways with culture are particularly characteristic of South American Andean cultures. Food and drink convey complex social and cultural meanings that can provide insights into regional interactions, social complexity, cultural hybridization, and ethnogenesis. This edited volume presents novel and creative anthropological, archaeological, historical, and iconographic research on Andean food and culture from diverse temporal periods and spatial settings. The breadth and scope of the contributions provides original insights into a diversity of topics, such as the role of food in Andean political economies, the transformation of foodways and cuisines through time, and ancient iconographic representations of plants and animals that were used as food. Thus, this volume is distinguished from most of the published literature in that specific foods, cuisines, and culinary practices are the primary subject matter through which aspects of Andean culture are interpreted.

Book Synopsis Tourism Imaginaries by : Noel B. Salazar
Download or read book Tourism Imaginaries written by Noel B. Salazar and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2014-06-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is hard to imagine tourism without the creative use of seductive, as well as restrictive, imaginaries about peoples and places. These socially shared assemblages are collaboratively produced and consumed by a diverse range of actors around the globe. As a nexus of social practices through which individuals and groups establish places and peoples as credible objects of tourism, “tourism imaginaries” have yet to be fully explored. Presenting innovative conceptual approaches, this volume advances ethnographic research methods and critical scholarship regarding tourism and the imaginaries that drive it. The various authors contribute methodologically as well as conceptually to anthropology’s grasp of the images, forces, and encounters of the contemporary world.

Book Synopsis Tourism, Magic and Modernity by : David Picard
Download or read book Tourism, Magic and Modernity written by David Picard and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing from extended fieldwork in La Réunion, in the Indian Ocean, the author suggests an innovative re-reading of different concepts of magic that emerge in the global cultural economics of tourism. Following the making and unmaking of the tropical island tourism destination of La Réunion, he demonstrates how destinations are transformed into magical pleasure gardens in which human life is cultivated for tourist consumption. Like a gardener would cultivate flowers, local development policy, nature conservation, and museum initiatives dramatise local social life so as to evoke modernist paradigms of time, beauty and nature. Islanders who live in this 'human garden' are thus placed in the ambivalent role of 'human flowers', embodying ideas of authenticity and biblical innocence, but also of history and social life in perpetual creolisation.
