Download or read book Ibonia written by and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ibonia: Epic of Madagascar is a discovery: the first English translation of the major work of Malagasy oral literature, recorded in 1877 from an anonymous bard by a Norwegian missionary and translated by Lee Haring, who was called "the pre-eminent American scholar of Malagasy verbal art" by Research in African Literatures. Ibonia is the epic tale of the birth and exploits of a royal hero. His mother, a queen of heroic caliber, is barren until she consults a diviner, who brings about the hero's conception. An unusual birth and precocious strength prepare the hero to go in quest of his betrothed, who has been abducted. Such tests of worth as combat with a crocodile, supernatural aid, and a victorious struggle with her abductor prove him a true epic hero worthy of ruling his people. Haring's translation makes this Malagasy epic at last available to the general reader as well as to the scholar, also providing extensive notes and translating six shorter variants of the story." "In his introduction Haring situates the epic in the history of Madagascar, emphasizing the colonial encounter. Looming large behind the epic is the historical figure of Andrianampoinimerina, the sovereign who made Imerina a conquest state. The introduction also places Ibonia in the context of other forms of Malagasy folklore, showing the bard's reliance on Merina oratorical style. Haring asserts that the brilliance and eloquence of the epic derive from a unique set of circumstances of performance."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un florilège de mythes, de contes et de légendes permet de pénétrer dans l'imaginaire de Madagascar L'imagination de ces peuples insulaires ne cesse de surprendre : tout l'univers, racontent-ils, tire son origine d'un immense monstre aquatique nommé Itrimobé dont le corps se transforma progressivement en terre, montagne, rivières, animaux et hommes. C'est pour cette raison que tout l'univers est un immense laboratoire des métamorphoses. La foudre, amoureuse d'un beau garçon, descend sur terre et fait semblant de se comporter en jeune fille prude, hélas, sa gourmandise la trahit, et elle se voit répudiée. Et en voici une autre, celle d'une jeune fille d'une beauté époustouflante que tout le monde voulait épouser. Celle-là se révèle trop exigeante : elle met à l'épreuve les prétendants pour mieux les accuser de vouloir épouser une bonne cuisinière et ne pas l'apprécier pour ce qu'elle est. En punition elle se voit transformée en punaise, dont l'odeur n'est pas considérée abjecte par les Malgaches, mais au contraire, fort agréable, car elle évoque ce personnage resté célèbre pour sa magnificence. D'autres animaux, comme le caïman, sont également entourés d'un vrai culte au Madagascar, car longtemps il était vénéré comme un ancêtre totémique de quelques tribus et aujourd'hui encore, on continue à croire que les humains peuvent se transformer en caïmans après leur mort s'ils le souhaitent, ainsi que se marier avec les représentants de cette charmante espèce. À PROPOS DE LA COLLECTION « Aux origines du monde » (à partir de 12 ans) permet de découvrir des contes et légendes variés qui permettent de comprendre comment chaque culture explique la création du monde et les phénomènes les plus quotidiens.

Download or read book The Sacrificed Generation written by Lesley A. Sharp and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2002-09-03 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This fascinating study, grounded in vivid depictions of local life, relates to larger questions about the postcolonial exercise of political and economic power, when ostensibly sovereign states such as Madagascar are so profoundly controlled by international organizations unattached to any particular state. Sharp asks how young people in these radically changing circumstances are taught and teach themselves to understand their past, present and future."—Gillian Feeley-Harnik, author of A Green Estate "Sharp's work is in the best tradition of classic anthropology, extending the critiques of Fanon, Mannoni, Memmi, and Freire by examining the effects of the socialist revolution, the birth of Malagasy nationalism, and the imposition of a postcolonial pedagogy on the minds of the 'sacrificed generation.' Her detailed ethnography is superb."—Nancy Scheper-Hughes, author of Death without Weeping
Download or read book Conservation and Environmental Management in Madagascar written by Ivan R. Scales and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-14 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Madagascar is one of the most biologically diverse places on the planet, the result of 160 million years of isolation from the African mainland. More than 80% of its species are not found anywhere else on Earth. However, this highly diverse flora and fauna is threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation, and the island has been classified as one of the world’s highest conservation priorities. Drawing on insights from geography, anthropology, sustainable development, political science and ecology, this book provides a comprehensive assessment of the status of conservation and environmental management in Madagascar. It describes how conservation organisations have been experimenting with new forms of protected areas, community-based resource management, ecotourism, and payments for ecosystem services. But the country must also deal with pressing human needs. The problems of poverty, development, environmental justice, natural resource use and biodiversity conservation are shown to be interlinked in complex ways. Authors address key questions, such as who are the winners and losers in attempts to conserve biodiversity? And what are the implications of new forms of conservation for rural livelihoods and environmental justice?
