Download or read book Conceptual Issues in Modern Human Origins Research written by Geoffrey A. Clark and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While those who study human origins now agree that the evolution of modern human form extends back much further in time than the evolution of modern human behavior, they disagree sharply as to how to interpret the substantive data. Two fundamentally incommensurate interpretations of our origins, the "Replacement" camp and the "Continuity" camp, have now emerged out of pre-existing models and theories that go back to the last quarter of the 19th century. This book contends that these positions are based on radically different biases and assumptions about what the remote human past was like. The purpose of this volume is to examine those conceptual differences, not to arrive at a consensus, but rather to explore the reasons why a consensus might never be possible.
Download or read book IMAGINING INDIANS SW written by DILWORTH L and published by Smithsonian. This book was released on 1996-10-17 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Imagining Indians in the Southwest, Leah Dilworth examines the creation and enduring potency of the early twentieth-century myth of the primitive Indian. She shows how visions of Indians - created not only by tourism but also by anthropologists, collectors of Indian crafts, and modernist writers - have reflected white anxieties about such issues as the value of labor in an industrialized society, racial assimilation, and the perceived loss of cultural authenticity. Dilworth explores diverse expressions of mainstream society's primitivist impulse - from the Fred Harvey Company's guided tours of Indian pueblos supposedly untouched by modern life to enthnographic descriptions of the Hopi Snake dance as alien and exotic. She shows how magazines touted the preindustrial simplicity of Indian artisanal occupations and how Mary Austin's 1923 book, The American Rhythm, urged poets to emulate the cadences of Native American song and dance. Contending that Native Americans of the Southwest still are seen primarily as living relics, Dilworth describes the ways in which they have resisted cultural colonialism. She concludes with a consideration of two contemporary artists who, by infusing their works with history and complexity, are recasting the practices and politics of primitivism.
Download or read book Royalties written by Gail Turley Houston and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This cultural sovereignty, argues Gail Turley Houston, in the hands of a female monarch troubled writers, especially men, who worked during a reign that viewed women as domestic angels. By exploring a wide range of representations of the queen by significant Victorian writers, Houston points out the complexity of Victorian constructions of gender, representation, authority, and identity. She works to demystify such canonized authors as Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and Margaret Oliphant by examining the ways they encounter Victoria in their writings. The queen's feminine power seems to be at odds with the masculine profession of author, which was also coming to be viewed as a significant representative of the culture."--Jacket.

Download or read book Zola and the Craft of Fiction written by Robert Lethbridge and published by Burns & Oates. This book was released on 1990 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first full-length stufy of Zola's practice as a novelist. Although Zola's literary achievement has been revalued in the last 25 years, critical attention has been concentrated on the contrast between his work's realistic dimension and its poetic power. Now the balance is redressed by this study of Zola as a crafstman. Most of the ten specially commissioned chapters in this book are concerned with its great saga of Les Rougon-Macquart. In each, Zola's techniques are related to problems on genre and representation and several relate his techniques to those used in contemporary melodrama, journalism and impressionist painting.
