Book excerpt: Lance Henson è una delle grandi voci della letteratura americana contemporanea. Voyager significa esploratore: il viaggio di Lance Henson è continuo e indomito, e nei suoi poemi testimonia le realtà e i dolori che osserva nella umanità di oggi. Dedica questo libro di poesie al suo popolo Cheyenne perchè, come dice, “Io sono la mia gente, come la mia gente è me”. La potenza dei suoi versi echeggia lo spirito di un popolo intero, e testimonia la profonda connessione alla Natura della spiritualità dei Nativi Americani: il mondo umano, animale e vegetale sono un tutt’uno, vivo, e gioiscono e soffrono all’unisono. L’essenza di Lance Henson è di un poeta guerriero che osserva con animo amaro: “Ciò che è successo a noi nel passato sta ora succedendo a tutti i membri della razza umana”. Un messaggio forte, all’insegna dell’ambientalismo e della critica dei sistemi del denaro e del potere, che non rispettano più nulla e nessuno. Il testo è in ITALIANO con originale in INGLESE a fronte. L’Autore: Lance David Henson è un poeta Cheyenne tra i più rappresentativi della cultura dei Nativi d'America. Le sue opere sono state tradotte in molte lingue e le sue poesie appaiono anche nelle antologie scolastiche italiane, insieme a Walt Whitman, della poesia nordamericana. La poesia di Henson fonde la spiritualità Cheyenne alla cronaca sociale e politica del mondo moderno . Laureato in scrittura creativa all'Università di Tulsa, ha pubblicato 28 libri di poesie e la sua opera è stata tradotta in più di 25 lingue, e pubblicata anche in Italia. Membro dell’AIM (American Indian Movement) e della Dog Soldier Society, da più di 30 anni è attivamente impegnato nella lotta per i diritti dei Cheyenne e delle popolazioni indigene del mondo.

Download or read book Indigenous Research Methodologies written by Bagele Chilisa and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2012 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the increasing emphasis in the classroom and in the field to sensitize researchers and students to diverse epistemologies, methods, and methodologies - especially those of women, minority groups, former colonized societies, indigenous people, historically oppressed communities, and people with disabilities, author Bagele Chilisa has written the first research methods textbook that situates research in a larger, historical, cultural, and global context with case studies from around the globe to make very visible the specific methodologies that are commensurate with the transformative paradigm of research and the historical and cultural traditions of indigenous peoples. Chapters cover the history of research methods, colonial epistemologies, research within postcolonial societies, relational epistemologies, emergent and indigenous methodologies, Afrocentric research, feminist research, language frameworks, interviewing, and building partnerships between researchers and the researched. The book comes replete with traditional textbook features such as key points, exercises, and suggested readings, which makes it ideally suited for graduate courses in research methods, especially in education, health, women's studies, cultural studies, sociology, and related social sciences.

Download or read book Biodeterioration of Stone Surfaces written by Larry St.Clair and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-11-02 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a timely volume in view of the considerable interest currently shown in the preservation of our cultural heritage, and the extensive and growing literature on the subject. Unfortunately, the latter is to be found in a wide variety of published sources, some aimed at a very specific readership and therefore not all that accessible to those who need this resource. The present volume draws together a spectrum of biodeterioration work from across the world to provide an overview of the materials examined and the methodologies employed to elucidate the nature of the problems, as well as an extensive and current bibliographical resource on lichen biodeterioration. Biodeterioration of historical and culturally important stone substrata is a complex problem to be addressed. Easy, risk-free solutions are simply not available to be dealt with by other than a wide range of expertise. Successful resolution of this issue will inevitably require a multidisciplinary effort, where biologists work in close cooperation with ecologists, geologists, geochemists, crystallographers, cultural property conservators, archaeologists, anthropologists, and historians in order to recommend the most effective management scheme. The advantage of this approach is obvious: multidisciplinary management teams with good leadership can ask more appropriate questions while developing much more thoughtful and informed decisions.

Download or read book A Companion to Archaeology written by John Bintliff and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Companion to Archaeology features essays from 27 of the world’s leading authorities on different types of archaeology that aim to define the field and describe what it means to be an archaeologist. Shows that contemporary archaeology is an astonishingly broad activity, with many contrasting specializations and ways of approaching the material record of past societies. Includes essays by experts in reading the past through art, linguistics, or the built environment, and by professionals who present the past through heritage management and museums. Introduces the reader to a range of archaeologists: those who devote themselves to the philosophy of archaeology, those who see archaeology as politics or anthropology, and those who contend that the essence of the discipline is a hard science.

Download or read book Ancient Divination and Experience written by Lindsay Gayle Driediger-Murphy and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence. It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. This volume sets out to re-examine what ancient people - primarily those in ancient Greek and Roman communities, but also Mesopotamian and Chinese cultures - thought they were doing through divination, and what this can tell us about the religions and cultures in which divination was practised. The chapters, authored by a range of established experts and upcoming early-career scholars, engage with four shared questions: What kinds of gods do ancient forms of divination presuppose? What beliefs, anxieties, and hopes did divination seek to address? What were the limits of human 'control' of divination? What kinds of human-divine relationships did divination create/sustain? The volume as a whole seeks to move beyond functionalist approaches to divination in order to identify and elucidate previously understudied aspects of ancient divinatory experience and practice. Special attention is paid to the experiences of non-elites, the perception of divine presence, the ways in which divinatory techniques could surprise their users by yielding unexpected or unwanted results, the difficulties of interpretation with which divinatory experts were thought to contend, and the possibility that divination could not just ease, but also exacerbate, anxiety in practitioners and consultants.

Download or read book Vengeance in Medieval Europe written by Daniel Lord Smail and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did medieval society deal with private justice, with grudges, and with violent emotions? This ground-breaking reader collects for the first time a number of unpublished or difficult-to-find texts that address violence and emotion in the Middle Ages. The sources collected here illustrate the power and reach of the language of vengeance in medieval European society. They span the early, high, and later middle ages, and capture a range of perspectives including legal sources, learned commentaries, narratives, and documents of practice. Though social elites necessarily figure prominently in all medieval sources, sources concerning relatively low-status individuals and sources pertaining to women are included. The sources range from saints' lives that illustrate the idea of vengeance to later medieval court records concerning vengeful practices. A secondary goal of the collection is to illustrate the prominence of mechanisms for peacemaking in medieval European society. The introduction traces recent scholarly developments in the study of vengeance and discusses the significance of these concepts for medieval political and social history.
