Download or read book Recasting Folk in the Himalayas written by Stefan Fiol and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2017-09-11 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colonialist, nationalist, and regionalist ideologies have profoundly influenced folk music and related musical practices among the Garhwali and Kumaoni of Uttarakhand. Stefan Fiol blends historical and ethnographic approaches to unlock these influences and explore a paradox: how the œfolk designation can alternately identify a universal stage of humanity, or denote alterity and subordination. Fiol explores the lives and work of Gahrwali artists who produce folk music. These musicians create art as both a discursive idea and as a set of expressive practices across strikingly different historical and cultural settings. Juxtaposing performance contexts in Himalayan villages with Delhi recording studios, Fiol shows how the practices have emerged within and between sites of contrasting values and expectations. Throughout, Fiol presents the varying perspectives and complex lives of the upper-caste, upper-class, male performers spearheading the processes of folklorization. But he also charts their resonance with, and collision against, the perspectives of the women and hereditary musicians most affected by the processes. Expertly observed, Recasting Folk in the Himalayas offers an engaging immersion in a little-studied musical milieu.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art and Architecture of Uttarakhand is the first ever comprehensive study on the art and architectural legacy of the newly formed hill state of Uttarakhand. This mountainous state can proudly boast of being that part of the subcontinent wherefrom the Indian Civilisation developed and proliferated to the pan-Indian dimension. In fact, The Kedarkhand, the classical identity of this region, formed an integral part of the Aryavart or the Bharat. Since the first settlement of the Indo-Aryans in the Gangetic plains, the snow-clad Himalayan ranges of Kedarkhand have been the source of perpetual attraction and inspiration to the multitude of humanity the world over. This region has been the grand repository of diverse cultures since the Khasha and Kirati cultures intermingled here ages ago. And, as the wheels of time rolled by, innumerable ethno-cultural milieus developed, flourished and vanished here. The imprints of all those past identities are still buried under the substratum of the dominating Brahminic culture. Obviously, Uttarakhand should be one of the archaeologically richest parts of the Sub-continent. In the present study, an attempt, has been made for the first time to discover all those subterranean evidences-material and non-material to present a wholesome picture of the culture scenario of Uttarakhand in all its vividness. While the material evidences of the two most dominating religions in the history of this region-Buddhism and Brahminism-have been adequately analysed and discussed in the context of the standing temples, the anterior Khasha culture has also been brought to light, and the religious and socio-cultural facets of that exotic culture discussed in the context of the standing wooden temples-the surviving material evidences of what may be defined as the Khasha Architecture. In fact, in the present work, a wholesome and cognizable picture of the past cultures of this region has been presented through Archaeology. In Uttarakhand, the tradition of painting remained confined only to what earlier used to be the Garhwal kingdom. Miniature Painting flourished in that kingdom under the influence of Mughal and Western Pahari schools, ironically without feudal patronage. In such a situation, could an Art & Architecture of Uttarakhand Progression to Perfect Publishing... independent school of painting flourish here, is a problem that has been thoroughly discussed. So far, our knowledge about the tradition of painting in Garhwal has remained subjective and biased. It is for the first time that the problem 'whether Garhwal School of Painting' has been subjected to the acid test to ascertain the reality. Nevertheless, the Garhwal atelier did inspire painting on the walls of Guru Ram Rai Durbar at Dehradun, in the akharas and havelis at Kankhal and havelis at Saharanpur. It is again for the first time that the tradition of miniature-painting and wall-painting in Uttarakhand has been studied objectively and in a comprehensive manner in the present work. Art and Architecture of Uttarakhand, therefore, has a legitimate claim to be the pioneering and trail-blazing work in many respects.

Download or read book Ritual Heritage and Identity written by Christiane Brosius and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2020-11-29 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the importance of ritual and ritual theory to discourses of authenticity and originality, thereby deepening our insight into concepts of cultural heritage, identity and nation in a globalised world. The volume is the first interdisciplinary attempt to understand the significance of rituals and related performative traditions in the creation of grounded cultural identities, ‘home’ and heritage as geographically experienceable locations. It assembles perspectives from social and cultural anthropology, performance studies, education and arts that can deal with the politics of revitalisation and preservation of ritualised traditions. While some chapters in this book emphasise on the ritualisation of cultural heritage by concentrating on power relations and politics, as well as actual processes of identification, especially for marginalised ethnic groups or migrant communities, others explore how rituals as intangible heritage are strategically employed by different groups all over the world to make their claims public and to improve and negotiate their position on a local, national or global platform. This book recognises ritualised performances as transnational and cross-cultural phenomena, which are not only tied to and defined via national territories and identities but which also demand new theoretical and methodological approaches towards the discussion of rituals and heritage.
