Book Synopsis Totem of the Depraved by : Nick Zedd
Download or read book Totem of the Depraved written by Nick Zedd and published by Two Thirteen Sixty One Publications. This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the 1979 super-8 film, They Eat Scum, Nick Zedd planted the seeds for "the Cinema of Transgression." Flourishing in downtown New York, Zedd, along with other filmmakers and actors, revolutionized and stunned independent filmmaking with their "celluloid atrocities." Embraced by some, reviled by most, Zedd and his co-conspirators were met with media blackouts, violent resistance and harassment throughout America and Europe. An autobiography that is both shocking and poignant, Totem of the Depraved chronicles the life and thoughts of the founder of the most radical film movement of the 80's.
Book Synopsis Succession to High Office by : Jack Goody
Download or read book Succession to High Office written by Jack Goody and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1966-01-02 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Positions of authority in any society are limited in number, and therefore rules of selection must operate in their recruitment. There must also be limitations upon the range of authority exercised. These problems are particularly acute in the case of high office, where the questions of recruitment and succession are of central importance. This 1979 volume provides a general and theoretical analysis of succession in different traditional African societies. Jack Goody's introduction spells out the main ways in which systems of succession to office differ, and assesses the problem each system solves and the dilemmas it creates. He also analyses the tensions to which succession gives rise, and relates these to specific methods of transferring office from one generation to the next, The four case studies, all based on extensive fieldwork, consider succession among the Bausto, the Baganda, the Nyamwezi and the Gonja.

Book Synopsis When Men and Women Mattered by : Onaiwu W. Ogbomo
Download or read book When Men and Women Mattered written by Onaiwu W. Ogbomo and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 1997 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing upon narrative tradition, reenactment ceremonies, legends of gods and goddesses, and the fusion of numerous genealogies, this book examines gender relations among the Owan people of southern Nigeria between c.1320 and the beginning of the twentieth century. The author challenges the orthodox view that patriarchy has been the norm in all societies, adding to our understanding of the origins of patriarchy and placing its development in an historical perspective. He also suggests a new definition of matriarchy, not simply as rule by women, but also as a phase in the history of societies in which gender equality existed. The book argues that the Owan people once had a social order very close to matriarchy. Despite a large influx from neighbouring peoples with a strong patriarchal tradition, Owan women retained their high social status and power because of their virtual control of the cotton trade, but after the demand for cotton decreased sharply after 1700, their social position declined rapidly until the beginning of the twentieth century, when it was altered legally by the establishment of British rule.ONAIWU W.

Book excerpt: After five years of marriage, she had wholeheartedly helped him ascend to the throne. However, he had ended up with a broken stomach and a broken family. The moment she was reborn, she was actually brought back to six years ago! Her concubine sister framed her, her grandmother despised her, she and her mother went about their business step by step; the feuds between officials and women, the chaos in the palace, everything had not changed. In this life, she definitely wouldn't be lenient. She would bully, betray, and harm her ... She was going to get everything back one by one, and not rest until she was dead! He had truly wrongly paid for it and no longer believed in men, but why did he suddenly have someone by his side? He was still shamelessly pestering her. Cold Pink's new book, "Simple Hands Shrouding the Sky: The Regent's Little Poison Consort" was a cheat. You can read it by clicking on the title.
Book Synopsis Alaska's Totem Poles by : Pat Kramer
Download or read book Alaska's Totem Poles written by Pat Kramer and published by Graphic Arts Books. This book was released on 2012-11-15 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the mists of Alaska's rain forest, totem poles have stood watch for untold generations. Imbued with mystery to outsider eyes, the fierce, carved symbols silently spoke of territories, legends, memorials, and paid debts. Today many of these cultural icons are preserved for the public to enjoy in heritage parks and historical centers through southeast Alaska. And, after nearly a century of repression, totem carving among Alaska's Tlingit, Haida, Tsimshian peoples is flourishing again. In this newly revised edition of Alaska's Totem Poles, readers learn about the history and use of totems, clan crests, symbolism, and much more. A special section describes where to go to view totems. Author Pat Kramer traveled throughout the homelands of the Totem People—along Alaska's Panhandle, the coast of British Columbia, and into the Northwest—meeting the people, learning their stores, and researching and photographing totem poles. Foreword writer David A. Boxley also offers the unique perspective of a Native Alaskan carver who has been a leader in the renaissance. This is a handy guide for travelers in Southeast Alaska who want to learn more about Alaska's totems. There's even a guide of where to view totems in the state. Ravens, killer whales (Orca) and bears... they're all represented in the totem.

Book Synopsis The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion (Complete) by : Sir James George Frazer
Download or read book The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion (Complete) written by Sir James George Frazer and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on 1957-01-01 with total page 6687 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For some time I have been preparing a general work on primitive superstition and religion. Among the problems which had attracted my attention was the hitherto unexplained rule of the Arician priesthood; and last spring it happened that in the course of my reading I came across some facts which, combined with others I had noted before, suggested an explanation of the rule in question. As the explanation, if correct, promised to throw light on some obscure features of primitive religion, I resolved to develop it fully, and, detaching it from my general work, to issue it as a separate study. This book is the result. Now that the theory, which necessarily presented itself to me at first in outline, has been worked out in detail, I cannot but feel that in some places I may have pushed it too far. If this should prove to have been the case, I will readily acknowledge and retract my error as soon as it is brought home to me. Meantime my essay may serve its purpose as a first attempt to solve a difficult problem, and to bring a variety of scattered facts into some sort of order and system. A justification is perhaps needed of the length at which I have dwelt upon the popular festivals observed by European peasants in spring, at midsummer, and at harvest. It can hardly be too often repeated, since it is not yet generally recognised, that in spite of their fragmentary character the popular superstitions and customs of the peasantry are by far the fullest and most trustworthy evidence we possess as to the primitive religion of the Aryans. Indeed the primitive Aryan, in all that regards his mental fibre and texture, is not extinct. He is amongst us to this day. The great intellectual and moral forces which have revolutionised the educated world have scarcely affected the peasant. In his inmost beliefs he is what his forefathers were in the days when forest trees still grew and squirrels played on the ground where Rome and London now stand.
