This book was released on 2019-02-16 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Trinidad Carnival is world-renowned. In light of this, the research for this book focuses on the borrowed cultural elements that give to the celebration its uniqueness. Because of its distinctiveness, the Trinidad Carnival has been the most copied, the most imitated, and the most photographed carnival in the world and confirms that the carnival is indeed a unique pre-Lenten celebration. Brazil may boast larger attendances for their Rio Carnival, but Trinidad is the true spiritual home of any pre-Lenten carnival; it has hosted the Carnival for a far longer time, and in a far more expressive form. The ribald carnival became the prime occasion for the proletariat to portray their satire, demonstrative of rebellion against the bourgeoisie giving way to the jamet or lower-class carnival, which grew to what it is today. Everything that came to Trinidad with respect to the carnival came from various sources throughout the world. The cultural elements that came to the shores of Trinidad were borrowed and then modified; these elements formed a mélange by the descendants of predominantly enslaved Africans, French Creoles, Mulattos and indentured servants who originally came to Trinidad. The narrative is about the socio-economic and political struggles of one group of people who were brought, about other groups who came, and those of the ruling class who, without even thinking, threw them together to forge a nation. Despite this constant underlying struggle, Trinidad Carnival radiates with powerful creativity, and exudes the splendor and pageantry of a people who continue to achieve and aspire to the higher reaches of freedom from oppression. To many people, it would seem that Carnival is Trinidad, and Trinidad is Carnival. Dr. Hollis Liverpool (The Mighty Chalkdust) declared: "Carnival is a concatenation of things-it is movement, it is color, it is food, it is drink, it is fete, it is feast, it is ritual, it is celebration...it is foreign exchange; it is a harbinger

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like many Caribbean nations, Trinidad has felt the effects of globalization on its economy, politics, and expressive culture. Even Carnival, once a clandestine folk celebration, has been transformed into a major transnational festival. In Trinidad Carnival, Garth L. Green, Philip W. Scher, and an international group of scholars explore Carnival as a reflection of the nation and culture of Trinidad and Trinidadians worldwide. The nine essays cover topics such as women in Carnival, the politics and poetics of Carnival, Carnival and cultural memory, Carnival as a tourist enterprise, the steelband music of Carnival, Calypso music on the world stage, Carnival and rap, and Carnival as a global celebration. For readers interested in the history and current expression of Carnival, this volume offers a multidimensional and transnational view of Carnival as a representation of Trinidad and Caribbean culture everywhere. Contributors are Robin Balliger, Shannon Dudley, Pamela R. Franco, Patricia A. de Freitas, Ray Funk, Garth L. Green, Donald R. Hill, Lyndon Phillip, Victoria Razak, and Philip W. Scher.

Download or read book Carnival written by Milla Cozart Riggio and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-10-14 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This beautifully illustrated volume features work by leading writers and experts on carnival from around the world, and includes two stunning photo essays by acclaimed photographers Pablo Delano and Jeffrey Chock. Editor Milla Cozart Riggio presents a body of work that takes the reader on a fascinating journey exploring the various aspects of carnival - its traditions, its history, its music, its politics - and prefaces each section with an illuminating essay. Traditional carnival theory, based mainly on the work of Mikhail Bakhtin and Victor Turner, has long defined carnival as inversive or subversive. The essays in this groundbreaking anthology collectively reverse that trend, offering a re-definition of 'carnival' that focuses not on the hierarchy it temporarily displaces or negates, but a one that is rooted in the actual festival event. Carnival details its new theory in terms of a carnival that is at once representative and distinctive: The Carnival of Trinidad - the most copied yet least studied major carnival in the world.

Book excerpt: The Trinidad carnival is a complex product wrought by two centuries of history in which it has successfully undergone the cultural and ideological influences of the white planter elite, the black lower class and the Creole middle claaa process which has conferred on the festival a hybrid cultural baggage. Does this mean that the present-day carnival has become a broken-winged festival, an innocent tourist attraction to uphold a lost folk tradition? The author of this text argues against this. Instead the fading away of boundaries between what were orignially class-bound socio-cultural spheres within the festival provides an oportunity for entirely new forms of exchange and confrontation. The varied influences of past centuries have combined under the auspices of the dominant Creole middle class, into a form which can reflect contemporary social conflicts and problems.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study presents the movement from an oral to a literate culture in the West Indies with the English language as central to this movement. The period examined, from the start of the first English settlement in the islands up to the time of Emancipation, was the period which established the foundations of West Indian society. The study relates the movement towards a literate culture to the development of methods of communication in the plantation slave society, to general literary and intellectual development, and to the expansion of formal education. Literacy in English is regarded as a barometer of social development because the English language was sustained internally and externally as the language of those who ruled and, contrary to fundamental notions associated with the power of literacy, it maintained privilege within certain sectors of the society. There is no other study which provides the interdisciplinary approach of this work in accounting for the development of literate culture in the West Indies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Millennium Dome, Braveheart and Rolls Royce cars. How do cultural icons reproduce and transform a sense of national identity? How does national identity vary across time and space, how is it contested, and what has been the impact of globalization upon national identity and culture?This book examines how national identity is represented, performed, spatialized and materialized through popular culture and in everyday life. National identity is revealed to be inherent in the things we often take for granted - from landscapes and eating habits, to tourism, cinema and music. Our specific experience of car ownership and motoring can enhance a sense of belonging, whilst Hollywood blockbusters and national exhibitions provide contexts for the ongoing, and often contested, process of national identity formation. These and a wealth of other cultural forms and practices are explored, with examples drawn from Scotland, the UK as a whole, India and Mauritius. This book addresses the considerable neglect of popular cultures in recent studies of nationalism and contributes to debates on the relationship between ‘high' and ‘low' culture.

Book excerpt: A landmark work from the author of Orientalism that explores the long-overlooked connections between the Western imperial endeavor and the culture that both reflected and reinforced it. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as the Western powers built empires that stretched from Australia to the West Indies, Western artists created masterpieces ranging from Mansfield Park to Heart of Darkness and Aida. Yet most cultural critics continue to see these phenomena as separate. Edward Said looks at these works alongside those of such writers as W. B. Yeats, Chinua Achebe, and Salman Rushdie to show how subject peoples produced their own vigorous cultures of opposition and resistance. Vast in scope and stunning in its erudition, Culture and Imperialism reopens the dialogue between literature and the life of its time.

Book excerpt: We are living through a time when old identities - nation, culture and gender are melting down. Spaces of Identity examines the ways in which collective cultural identities are being reshaped under conditions of a post-modern geography and a communications environment of cable and satellite broadcasting. To address current problems of identity, the authors look at contemporary politics between Europe and its most significant others: America; Islam and the Orient. They show that it's against these places that Europe's own identity has been and is now being defined. A stimulating account of the complex and contradictory nature of contemporary cultural identities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when UNESCO heritage conventions are ratified by a state? How do UNESCO’s global efforts interact with preexisting local, regional and state efforts to conserve or promote culture? What new institutions emerge to address the mandate? The contributors to this volume focus on the work of translation and interpretation that ensues once heritage conventions are ratified and implemented. With seventeen case studies from Europe, Africa, the Caribbean and China, the volume provides comparative evidence for the divergent heritage regimes generated in states that differ in history and political organization. The cases illustrate how UNESCO’s aspiration to honor and celebrate cultural diversity diversifies itself. The very effort to adopt a global heritage regime forces myriad adaptations to particular state and interstate modalities of building and managing heritage.
