Download or read book The Archaeology of Ancestors written by Hill/Hageman and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2016-03-23 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contributors to this landmark volume demonstrate that ancestor veneration was about much more than claiming property rights: the spirits of the dead were central to domestic disputes, displays of wealth, and power and status relationships. Case studies from China, Africa, Europe, and Mesoamerica use the evidence of art, architecture, ritual, and burial practices to explore the complex roles of ancestors in the past. Including a comprehensive overview of nearly two hundred years of anthropological research, The Archaeology of Ancestors reveals how and why societies remember and revere the dead. Through analyses of human remains, ritual deposits, and historical documents, contributors explain how ancestors were woven into the social fabric of the living.

Download or read book Memory written by Patricia Fara and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998-09-03 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This engaging volume for the general reader explores how individuals and societies remember, forget and commemorate events of the past. The collection of eight essays takes an interdisciplinary approach to address the relationships between individual experience and collective memory, with leading experts from the arts and sciences. We might expect scientists to be concerned with studying just the mental and physical processes involved in remembering, and humanities scholars to be interested in the products of memory, such as books, statues and music. This collection exposes the falseness of such a dichotomy, illustrating the insights into memory which can be gained by juxtaposing the complementary perspectives of specialists venturing beyond the normal boundaries of their disciplines. The authors come from backgrounds as diverse as psychoanalysis, creative writing, neuroscience, social history and medicine.

Download or read book Memories of Belonging Descendants of Italian Migrants to the United States 1884 Present written by Christa Wirth and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-02-11 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Memories of Belonging is a three-generation oral-history study of the offspring of southern Italians who migrated to Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1913. Supplemented with the interviewees’ private documents and working from U.S. and Italian archives, Christa Wirth documents a century of transatlantic migration, assimilation, and later-generation self-identification. Her research reveals how memories of migration, everyday life, and ethnicity are passed down through the generations, altered, and contested while constituting family identities. The fact that not all descendants of Italian migrants moved into the U.S. middle class, combined with their continued use of hyphenated identities, points to a history of lived ethnicity and societal exclusion. Moreover, this book demonstrates the extent of forgetting that is required in order to construct an ethnic identity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Something dangerous lurks in the code. Thanks to his ability to mentally control computers, Tim’s job is to oversee the Legion Spore, a living airship made from a terrifying hybrid of computer intelligence and super-human powers. He’s removed most of the glitches, the so-called “ghosts” lingering in the code. But the one glitch he can’t account for is the ship’s rogue personality, with its clear preference for Tim as its operator. Under orders from his superiors, he’s stuck on the airship trying to uncover the source of the glitch, rather than spending time with his loving girlfriend. Making matters worse for both of them, his nights spent aboard the ship are filled with strange, haunting dreams of an alluring affair he’s never had. As those dreams descend into nightmares, a pattern becomes clear. These nightmares aren't random figments of his imagination; they're warnings from a “ghost” with more influence on the ship’s code than the other remnant memories. If Tim can’t find the reason for the glitch’s overwhelming influence, he won’t only lose himself to the ship’s whispers, he’ll also lose the woman he loves. Uncover the secret behind the glitches in this enthralling sequel to Whispers in the Code... Read Ghost of a Memory today!

Download or read book Writers Houses and the Making of Memory written by Harald Hendrix and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-08-06 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative new book examines the ways in which writers’ houses contribute to the making of memory. It shows that houses built or inhabited by poets and novelists both reflect and construct the author’s private and artistic persona; it also demonstrates how this materialized process of self-fashioning is subsequently appropriated within various strategies and policies of cultural memory.
Download or read book In My Grandmother s House written by Yolanda Pierce and published by Broadleaf Books . This book was released on 2021-02-16 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if the most steadfast faith you'll ever encounter comes from a Black grandmother? The church mothers who raised Yolanda Pierce, dean of Howard University School of Divinity, were busily focused on her survival. In a world hostile to Black women's bodies and spirits, they had to be. Born on a former cotton plantation and having fled the terrors of the South, Pierce's grandmother raised her in the faith inherited from those who were enslaved. Now, in the pages of In My Grandmother's House, Pierce reckons with that tradition, building an everyday womanist theology rooted in liberating scriptures, experiences in the Black church, and truths from Black women's lives. Pierce tells stories that center the experiences of those living on the underside of history, teasing out the tensions of race, spirituality, trauma, freedom, resistance, and memory. A grandmother's theology carries wisdom strong enough for future generations. The Divine has been showing up at the kitchen tables of Black women for a long time. It's time to get to know that God.
