Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Contributions to Cuna Ethnography: Results of an Expedition to Panama and Colombia in 1947 From February to September 1947 the writer of these lines had the privilege of undertaking an expedition sponsored by the Ethno graphical Museum, Gothenburg, of which the goal was chiefly Panama and Colombia and during which I was accompanied by my wife Karin and my friend Nils M. Holmer, a linguist, and at that time associate professor in the University of Upsala. The collaboration between Dr. Holmer and myself had started already earlier, established by our common interest in the investigation of various aspects of the Cuna culture, and at the time of our departure from Gothenburg, on February 8, 1947, this collaboration had just borne fruit in the publication of a joint work, A! Ii-i gala or the Way of Alan, A [medicine Song from the Ciinas of Panama. As a practical study inter alias of the Cuna language would be of great interest to Holmer, who had already proved in a brilliant way his theoretical knowledge of this language by the publication of a Critical and Comparative Grammar of the Ciina Language, it gave me great satisfaction to learn that he, too, would be able to accept the offer to accompany us on the journey, after successful applications for material support on his behalf from The Viking Fund, Inc. In New York and the Sociedad sueco-hispano-a mericana in Gothenburg. The results of Holmer's linguistic investigations among the Cuna Indians will be published by him according to a more detailed account given in the preface to this work. I should like to mention, however, even at this moment, that he has placed his whole ex perience at disposal for Such parts of this work as pertain to his particular branch of science, for which I am very grateful to him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known for their beautiful textile art, the Kuna of Panama have been scrutinized by anthropologists for decades. Perhaps surprisingly, this scrutiny has overlooked the magnificent Kuna craft of nuchukana—wooden anthropomorphic carvings—which play vital roles in curing and other Kuna rituals. Drawing on long-term fieldwork, Paolo Fortis at last brings to light this crucial cultural facet, illuminating not only Kuna aesthetics and art production but also their relation to wider social and cosmological concerns. Exploring an art form that informs birth and death, personhood, the dream world, the natural world, religion, gender roles, and ecology, Kuna Art and Shamanism provides a rich understanding of this society's visual system, and the ways in which these groundbreaking ethnographic findings can enhance Amerindian scholarship overall. Fortis also explores the fact that to ask what it means for the Kuna people to carve the figure of a person is to pose a riddle about the culture's complete concept of knowing. Also incorporating notions of landscape (islands, gardens, and ancient trees) as well as cycles of life, including the influence of illness, Fortis places the statues at the center of a network of social relationships that entangle people with nonhuman entities. As an activity carried out by skilled elderly men, who possess embodied knowledge of lifelong transformations, the carving process is one that mediates mortal worlds with those of immortal primordial spirits. Kuna Art and Shamanism immerses readers in this sense of unity and opposition between soul and body, internal forms and external appearances, and image and design.

Download or read book Mimesis and Alterity written by Michael Taussig and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-30 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this ambitious and accomplished work, Taussig explores the complex and interwoven concepts of mimesis, the practice of imitation, and alterity, the opposition of Self and Other. The book moves from the nineteenth-century invention of mimetically capacious machines, such as the camera, to the fable of colonial ‘first contact’ and the alleged mimetic power of ‘primitives’. Twenty years after the original publication, Taussig revisits the work in a new preface which contextualises the impact of Mimesis and Alterity. Drawing on the ideas of Benjamin, Adorno and Horckheimer and ethnographic accounts of the Cuna, Taussig demonstrates how the history of mimesis is deeply tied to colonialism and the idea of alterity has become increasingly unstable. Vigorous and unorthodox, this cross-cultural discussion continues to deepen our understanding of the relationship between ethnography, racism and society.

Download or read book Plants and Animals in the Life of the Kuna written by Jorge Ventocilla and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-07-05 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The earth is the mother of all things"; thus begins this original and accessible book on how the Kuna of Panama relate to the natural world. An integrative project involving Kuna traditional leaders and trained scholars, and fully illustrated by a Kuna artist, this translation of Plantas y animales en la vida del pueblo Kuna focuses on Kuna plant and animal life, social life, and social change as a means of saving traditional ecological knowledge and "returning" it to the community. The authors hope to preserve the Kuna environment not only by reviving traditional technologies but also by educating the Kuna as to what needs protection. While the Kuna have a tradition of living in harmony with the land, the intrusion of the market economy is eroding the very basis of their sustainable way of life. As a response to this crisis, this book seeks to develop native self-awareness and provide a model for collaboration. It will appeal to Latin Americanists, anthropologists, and ethnobotanists, as well as to a general readership in environmental issues.
