Download or read book La France des croyances paysannes written by Véronique Willemin and published by Editions de Lodi/EDL. This book was released on 2006 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les paysans d'hier étaient au contact permanent de la nature, à son écoute quotidienne, afin de pouvoir vivre et survivre... Un troupeau malade, la sécheresse qui sévit, une femme qui n'a pas de lait pour nourrir son nouveau-né. Comment faire ? A qui faire confiance ? A la science ? A l'Eglise ou aux croyances populaires ? Les rebouteux, les fontaines miraculeuses, les pierres guérisseuses, les saints protecteurs, les dictons des bêtes, des plantes et des saisons, les cérémonies pour protéger les troupeaux et les récoltes, les objets symboliques pour s'attirer la fortune et la bienveillance de la Nature. Que reste-t-il de ces croyances paysannes ? de cette médecine populaire ? de ces cérémonies agricoles ? des cérémonies solaires et lunaires en phase avec les cycles des saisons ? des cérémonies familiales rattachées aux coutumes régionales (naissance, baptême, fiançailles, mariage, enterrement) ? Comme au cours d'une veillée villageoise, Véronique Willemin évoque, dans ce livre richement illustré, le temps qui passe, les querelles paysannes, les légendes, les fêtes, les chansons, les rites, les sorts, les moments de bonheurs et de difficultés à travers des témoignages vivants, et des documents inédits. Ce livre rend un bel hommage à toutes ces femmes et tous ces hommes qui ont su transmettre jusqu'à ce jour, leur mode de pensée et d'appréhension instinctif du monde paysan et de ses mystères.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aujourd'hui, la rationalité semble régner en maître. Les croyances ancestrales, qui avaient survécu jusqu'à la fin du XIXe siècle, ne seraient plus qu'un vague souvenir d'une époque où les hommes vivaient au rythme de la nature et au gré de ses caprices. D'une époque où, faute de pouvoir maîtriser des phénomènes inexplicables, les hommes se racontaient d'étranges histoires... Pourtant, le progrès et la modernité ont-ils véritablement évincé de nos mémoires, et de notre existence, les superstitions de nos aïeux ? Personne ne sait plus pourquoi, mais on continue à accrocher divers talismans dans sa maison, à redouter de croiser un chat noir et à consulter les prévisions astrologiques. Ce livre est le résultat d'une enquête minutieuse, menée aux quatre coins de la France, pour retrouver l'origine et la signification profonde de ces croyances et superstitions. Il nous invite à la redécouverte d'un univers fascinant, à travers des récits évocateurs et de saisissantes photographies.

Download or read book White Gloves Black Nation written by Grace Sanders Johnson and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2023-03-17 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ambitious transnational history considers Haitian women's political life during and after the United States occupation of Haiti (1915–34). The two decades following the occupation were some of the most politically dynamic and promising times in Haiti's modern history, but the history of women's political organizing in this period has received scant attention. Tracing elite and middle-class women's activism and intellectual practice from the countryside of Kenscoff, Haiti, to Philadelphia, the Belgian Congo, and back to Port-au-Prince, this book tells the story of Haitian women's essential role as co-curators of modern Haitian citizenship. Set in a period when national belonging was articulated in philosophies of African authenticity, revolutionary nostalgia, and working-class politics, Grace Sanders Johnson considers how an emerging educated and professional class of women who understood themselves as descendants of the Haitian Revolution established alternative claims to citizenship that included, but were not limited to, suffrage and radicalism. Sanders Johnson argues that these women's political practice incorporated strategic class performance, extravagant sartorial sensibilities, and an insistence on self-promotion and preservation that challenged the exceptional trope of the martyred male revolutionary hero. Bringing her subjects vividly to life, she reveals their politics of wayfaring, moving deliberately if sometimes ineffectively through the radical milieu of the twentieth century.

Download or read book An Historical Geography of France written by Xavier de Planhol and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1994-03-17 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this 1994 book, Xavier de Planhol and Paul Claval, two of France's leading scholars in the field, trace the historical geography of their country from its roots in the Roman province of Gaul to the 1990s. They demonstrate how, for centuries, France was little more than an ideological concept, despite its natural physical boundaries and long territorial history. They examine the relatively late development of a more complex territorial geography, involving political, religious, cultural, agricultural and industrial unities and diversities. The conclusion reached is that only in the twentieth century had France achieved a profound territorial unity and only now are the fragmentations of the past being overwritten.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hétérogénéité des objets de recherche, pluralité des problématiques, fécondité des croisements disciplinaires, renouveaux théoriques : ce sont ces aspects propres à caractériser l'anthropologie de l'art actuelle qu'illustrent les contributions de ce volume. S'y trouvent notamment analysés les fonctions et significations des expressions artistiques appréhendées dans des contextes culturels divers ; leurs conditions d'émergence et les critères autochtones de leur définition ; les modes de sélection, d'évaluation et d'appropriation des productions non occidentales par les voyageurs, collecteurs, collectionneurs, institutions muséales ou acteurs du marché de l'art. De manière transversale, s'exprime l'idée qu'une œuvre ne se réduit pas à un objet et ne s'épuise ni dans sa matérialité ni dans sa perception strictement sensorielle. Les discours (critiques, de légitimation, d'authentification, d'explicitation, etc.), l'imaginaire, les affects ou encore les modalités de sa consommation la constituent tout autant. Trop souvent, les musées se sont accordés à ériger la production matérielle des cultures locales en marque symbolique de leur identité et à essentialiser ces cultures en reléguant dans les réserves ce qui relevait trop visiblement d'emprunts ou d'influences. En déconstruisant ce grand mythe occidental d'une altérité vierge de tout mélange, l'approche anthropologique de l'art se refuse à penser le rapport à la création en termes d'oppositions implicitement hiérarchisées en valeur (authentique vs faux, rituel vs commercial, ethnographique vs touristique, esthétique vs politique, etc.). Ethnologues, historiens de l'art et sociologues, les auteurs français et anglo-saxons qui se rencontrent à travers cet ouvrage rendent compte de l'amplitude des perspectives de recherche ainsi ouvertes par l'anthropologie de l'art.
