Book Synopsis The Euahlayi Tribe by : K. Langloh Parker
Download or read book The Euahlayi Tribe written by K. Langloh Parker and published by . This book was released on 2014-06-22 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In breezy, colloquial language Mrs. Langloh Parker has set down a considerable amount of accurate information concerning the Euahlayi tribe of the Narran river in the north of New South Wales. She makes no pretensions to be a scientific student, but for twenty years she has lived in contact with the Euahlayi, and being of an inquiring disposition and having the grace of sympathy she has acquired a very considerable store of first-hand knowledge about a tribe of whom scarcely anything was known previously, and thus her observations help to fill one of the numerous blank spaces which remain as a reproach to us in the ethnic map of Australia....This charming book appeals alike to the student and the general reader, and the missionary will also find food for reflection, especially I the closing remarks. Mr. Lang's Introduction points out the scientific importance of some of Mrs. Parker's investigations and explains the share he has had in the production of this book." -The Saturday Review From medicine men to witches to trapping of game and averting demons, The Euahlayi Tribe is the esteemed work by K. Langloh Parker that brings to light in formal terms her firsthand understanding of Euahlayi society. The resulting ethnography is factual and well written. Parker was obviously also familiar with the anthropological literature. She was hardly the detached observer that modern ethnography demands, however, at that time this methodology had not been invented yet. This is not necessarily a bad thing. As Andrew Lang points out in the introduction, Parker lived in close contact with aborigines for many years, and as a female she had access to the women of the tribe, a viewpoint for which we have no other source from that time period. An eminent name in the field of literature, Parker is famed for her unsurpassed contribution to Aborigine culture. She is the earliest author who brought the miseries and sufferings of Aborigines to the notice of Australians in a focused and meaningful manner. CONTENTS INTRODUCTION I. INTRODUCTORY II.

Book Synopsis The Makers and Making Of Indigenous Australian Museum Collections by : Nicolas Peterson
Download or read book The Makers and Making Of Indigenous Australian Museum Collections written by Nicolas Peterson and published by Melbourne Univ. Publishing. This book was released on 2008-08-16 with total page 614 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of original essays brings together, for the first time, histories of the making and of the makers of most of the major Indigenous Australian museum collections. These collections are a principal source of information on how Aboriginal people lived in the past. Knowing the context in which any collection was created; the intellectual frameworks within which the collectors were working, their collecting practices, what they failed to collect, and what Aboriginal people withheld; is vital to understanding how any collection relates to the Aboriginal society from which it was derived. Once made, collections have had mixed fates: some have become the jewel of a museum's holdings, while others have been divided and dispersed across the world, or retained but neglected. The essays in this volume raise issues about representation, institutional policies, the periodisation of collecting, intellectual history, material culture studies, Aboriginal culture and the idea of a 'collection'.
Book Synopsis Cultural Dynamics of Water in Iranian Civilization by : Majid Labbaf Khaneiki
Download or read book Cultural Dynamics of Water in Iranian Civilization written by Majid Labbaf Khaneiki and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-09-23 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces “water” back to the most primitive animistic notions that are still lingering on in the shape of such rituals as qanat marriage or rain-making. Water, in the Iranian philosophy, is used in an attempt to find an explanation for the genesis of the universe, as described in Zoroastrian Akhshij philosophy, according to which water is one of the four fundamental elements of the creation. The concept of time began to germinate in the Iranian mind, when they had to count the passage of time in order to divide their scarce water resources. Water became so omnipresent in Iranian culture that it reached even the most mysterious seclusion of the Sufi monks. In Iran’s local communities, water culture is a thread that runs through different types of production systems. This book goes beyond indigenous water knowledge and traditional irrigation techniques, and conceptualizes water as a pivotal element of Iran’s social identity, cultural dynamics and belief systems, where it examines the role of intermittent droughts in engendering and diffusing intangible cultural elements across the Iranian plateau. This book delves into Iran’s political organizations most of which were ensnared in a water-dependent lifecycle constituting a historical pattern described in this book as “hydraulic collapse” .

Download or read book Shamanism written by Mircea Eliade and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2024-01-09 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The foundational work on shamanism now available as a Princeton Classics paperback Shamanism is an essential work on the study of this mysterious and fascinating phenomenon. The founder of the modern study of the history of religion, Mircea Eliade surveys the tradition through two and a half millennia of human history, moving from the shamanic traditions of Siberia and Central Asia—where shamanism was first observed—to North and South America, Indonesia, Tibet, China, and beyond. In this authoritative survey, Eliade illuminates the magico-religious life of societies that give primacy of place to the figure of the shaman—at once magician and medicine man, healer and miracle-doer, priest, mystic, and poet. Synthesizing the approaches of psychology, sociology, and ethnology, Shamanism remains the reference book of choice for those interested in this practice.
