Book excerpt: For at least 20,000 years, masking has been a mark of cultural evolution and an indication of magical-religious sophistication in society. This book provides a comprehensive understanding of the mask as a powerful cultural phenomenon--a means by which human groupings attempted to communicate their dignity and sense of purpose, as well as establish a continuum between the natural and supernatural worlds. It addresses the distinctive environments within which masks flourished, and analyzes the mask as a manifestation of art, ethnology and anthropology.

Download or read book Masks, Transformation, and Paradox written by A. David Napier and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1986 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masks are found world-wide in connection with seasonal festivals, rites of passage, and curative ceremonies. They provide a means of investigating the paradoxical problems that appearances pose in the experience of transitional states. In this far-reaching work, A. David Napier studies mask iconography and the role played by masks in the realization of change. The masks of preclassical Greece¯in particular those of the Satyr and the Gorgon¯provide his starting point. A comparison of Greek to Eastern and especially Indian models follows, and the book concludes with an examination of the interpretation of Hindu ideas in Bali that demonstrates the importance of ambivalence in mask iconography.

Book excerpt: The practice of mask-wearing has a long history, even becoming mandatory in times of global crisis.

Eight themed projects use photographs to document masks and mask-making techniques, with each one offering practical advice and design ideas; materials are inexpensive and easy to acquire. With photographs by Richard Penton.

Download or read book The Legacy of Stylistic Theatre in the Creation of a Modern Sinhala Drama in Sri Lanka written by Lakshmi D. Bulathsinghala and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-04-30 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the development of Sinhala stylistic drama from its earliest manifestations to the post-independence era. Bulathsinghala examines the impact of indigenous and imported folk theatrical forms on the work of the most significant postcolonial stylistic dramatists and on key plays that they produced. In the process, the book explores a number of myths and misunderstandings regarding Sri Lanka’s folk heritage and seeks to establish more reliable information on the principal indigenous Sri Lankan folk dramatic forms and their characteristics. At the same time, by drawing connections between folk drama and the post-independence stylistic theatrical movement, the author demonstrates the essential role of the former in Sinhala culture prior to the advent of Western and other influences and shows how both continue to inflect Sri Lankan drama today. This book will help to open the field of South Asian drama studies to an audience consisting not only of scholars and students but also of general readers who are interested in the fields of drama and theatre and Asian studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book the reader is guided by three Sinhalese individuals who have dealt with their belief system as religious practitioners. All are natives of the Sinhalese rural society; yet they work and live in variant dimensions of that society. As a matter of ethnographic method and ethical respect, the entire endeavor of this research displays the values of the individuals who related their stories to me. Since feedback to the ethnography is very important for the final analysis of the work, the research participants reviewed the recorded and presented material. Response was an essential assessment to the success or failure of the presented material - as the presentations were made for the Sinhalese participants and their community. As a record written and filmed in the form of life accounts, it offers a step-by-step methodology for students. This work marshals attention to the dimensions of a traditional belief system.
