Download or read book Emperor and Ancestor written by David Faure and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2007-03-01 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book summarizes twenty years of the author's work in historical anthropology and documents his argument that in China, ritual provided the social glue that law provided in the West. The book offers a readable history of the special lineage institutions for which south China has been noted and argues that these institutions fostered the mechanisms that enabled south China to be absorbed into the imperial Chinese state—first, by introducing rituals that were acceptable to the state, and second, by providing mechanisms that made group ownership of property feasible and hence made it possible to pool capital for land reclamation projects important to the state. Just as taxation, defense, and recognition came together with the emergence of powerful lineages in the sixteenth century, their disintegration in the late nineteenth century signaled the beginnings of a new Chinese state.

Download or read book Lineage written by Robert Abelar and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-05-03 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tai Chi Chuan and Ninjutsu are two of the oldest surviving martial arts, reaching back through countless centuries into legend. They are also two disciplines within which Robert Abelar has been fortunate enough to find three sets of both gifted and passionate teachers. LINEAGE cycles through various key, self-developmental topics - each being reconsidered from the individual viewpoint of Robert's instructors. These recollections are intertwined by his growing relationship with a strange old lady - who he met quite unexpectedly - and who offers her own unique perspective on events. Throughout their conversations, the old lady artfully references the infamous anthropologist of the 1960's, Carlos Castaneda, and his reported apprenticeship with a Mexican Shaman. Unabashedly dragging Castaneda's unconventional works into the everyday world of modern urban life, she reveals the key underpinnings of all martial arts and self-improvement practices - helping Robert to reconsider the more remarkable experiences of his previous training. More disturbingly, she proceeds to claim personal links to Castaneda's teachings, and to an ancient way of knowledge. What Robert took to be a chance encounter with a mysterious old woman led to an onslaught not only on his martial studies, but his entire outlook on life. LINEAGE is an account of how his innermost beliefs were brought to their knees, and how he became a beginner yet again. It's the story of how Castaneda's legacy is not yet finished...

Download or read book Dirty Love written by Tim Whitmarsh and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-04-02 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some of the world's earliest large-form fictional narratives--what would today be called novels-are found in ancient Greece. Dating back to the first century CE, these narratives contain many of the elements common to the novelistic genre, for instance, the joining, separation, and reunion of two lovers. These ancient works have often been heralded as the ancestors of the modern novel; but what can we say of the origins of the Greek novel itself? This book argues that whereas much of Greek literature was committed to a form of cultural purism, presenting itself as part of a continuous tradition reaching back to the founding fathers within the tradition, the novel reveled in cultural hybridity. The earliest Greek novelistic literature combined Greek and non-Greek traditions. More than this, however, it also often self-consciously explored its own hybridity by focusing on stories of cultural hybridization, or what we would now call "mixed-race" relations. This book is thus not a conventional account of the origins of the Greek novel: it is not an attempt to pinpoint the moment of invention, and to trace its subsequent development in a straight line. Rather, it makes a virtue of the murkiness, or "dirtiness," of the origins of the novel: there is no single point of creation, no pure tradition, only transgression and transformation. The novel thus emerges as an outlier within the Greek literary corpus: a form of literature written in Greek, but not always committing to Greek cultural identity. Dirty Love focuses particularly on the relationship between Persian, Egyptian, Jewish and Greek literature, and explores such texts as Ctesias' Persica, Joseph and Aseneth, the Alexander Romance, and the tale of Ninus and Semiramis. It will appeal not only to those interested in Greek literary history, but also to readers of near eastern and biblical literature.

Book excerpt: AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! From celebrated anthropologist Jennifer Raff comes the untold story—and fascinating mystery—of how humans migrated to the Americas. ORIGIN is the story of who the first peoples in the Americas were, how and why they made the crossing, how they dispersed south, and how they lived based on a new and powerful kind of evidence: their complete genomes. ORIGIN provides an overview of these new histories throughout North and South America, and a glimpse into how the tools of genetics reveal details about human history and evolution. 20,000 years ago, people crossed a great land bridge from Siberia into Western Alaska and then dispersed southward into what is now called the Americas. Until we venture out to other worlds, this remains the last time our species has populated an entirely new place, and this event has been a subject of deep fascination and controversy. No written records—and scant archaeological evidence—exist to tell us what happened or how it took place. Many different models have been proposed to explain how the Americas were peopled and what happened in the thousands of years that followed. A study of both past and present, ORIGIN explores how genetics is currently being used to construct narratives that profoundly impact Indigenous peoples of the Americas. It serves as a primer for anyone interested in how genetics has become entangled with identity in the way that society addresses the question "Who is indigenous?"
