CHAPTER X SUMMARY AND EXPLANATIONS We have noticed a great variety of superstitious beliefs and practices connected with Moorish marriages. Sometimes divination is resorted to by the young man's mother in choosing a suitable wife for her son.1 Sometimes the girl prevents a betrothal which she finds objectionable by making use of bad and ominous words or by behaving like a woman at a funeral.2 The transference of conditional curses by means of 'tfr-sacrifices is a common method of bringing about a betrothment;s and even when no such sacrifice is made it is considered bad if the girl's father or parents persist in refusing a proposal.4 In some Berber tribes the fear of l-ar has led to a custom which makes it possible for a married woman to run away from her husband and, by taking refuge in another man's dwelling, compel the latter to marry her.6 The wheat which is to be used for the wedding, and which has been cleaned in the bridegroom's house, must not be taken to other houses to be ground; for it would be bad to do at a wedding what is regularly done at a funeral 1--a feeling which also prevents honey being served at a wedding.2 On the other hand, it is supposed to bring good luck if the bachelors who are present on the occasion when the wheat is cleaned and ground now and then take part in the grinding and singing.8 A superstitious importance is attached to the grit which has been removed from the wheat; it is put in a clean place so as not to be defiled,4 or it is thrown on the floor of the bridegroom's dwelling in order that the wedding shall be attended by many guests,5 or the bridegroom casts it together with dried fruit on the bride when she approaches the door of his house,6 or it is disposed of in some other manner still to be...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All study of the origins of social institutions must be based on what ethnology can tell us of the psychology of the lower races and on the primitive conceptions of human relations which are thus established. It is only in early modes of thought that we can find the explanation of ceremonies and systems which originated in primitive society; and, if ceremony and system are the concrete forms in which human relations are expressed, an examination, ethnological and psychological, of human relations, is indispensable for enquiry into human institutions.

Download or read book Introducing Intercultural Communication written by Shuang Liu and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2010-11-09 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Books on intercultural communication are rarely written with an intercultural readership in mind. In contrast, this multinational team of authors has put together an introduction to communicating across cultures that uses examples and case studies from around the world. The book further covers essential new topics, including international conflict, social networking, migration, and the effects technology and mass media play in the globalization of communication. Written to be accessible for international students too, this text situates communication theory in a truly global perspective. Each chapter brings to life the links between theory and practice and between the global and the local, introducing key theories and their practical applications. Along the way, you will be supported with first-rate learning resources, including: • theory corners with concise, boxed-out digests of key theoretical concepts • case illustrations putting the main points of each chapter into context • learning objectives, discussion questions, key terms and further reading framing each chapter and stimulating further discussion • a companion website containing resources for instructors, including multiple choice questions, presentation slides, exercises and activities, and teaching notes. This book will not merely guide you to success in your studies, but will teach you to become a more critical consumer of information and understand the influence of your own culture on how you view yourself and others.
Download or read book Multilingualism Cultural Identity and Education in Morocco written by Moha Ennaji and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-12-05 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, I attempt to show how colonial and postcolonial political forces have endeavoured to reconstruct the national identity of Morocco, on the basis of cultural representations and ideological constructions closely related to nationalist and ethnolinguistic trends. I discuss how the issue of language is at the centre of the current cultural and political debates in Morocco. The present book is an investigation of the ramifications of multilingualism for language choice patterns and attitudes among Moroccans. More importantly, the book assesses the roles played by linguistic and cultural factors in the development and evolution of Moroccan society. It also focuses on the impact of multilingualism on cultural authenticity and national identity. Having been involved in research on language and culture for many years, I am particularly interested in linguistic and cultural assimilation or alienation, and under what conditions it takes place, especially today that more and more Moroccans speak French and are influenced by Western social behaviour more than ever before. In the process, I provide the reader with an updated description of the different facets of language use, language maintenance and shift, and language attitudes, focusing on the linguistic situation whose analysis is often blurred by emotional reactions, ideological discourses, political biases, simplistic assessments, and ethnolinguistic identities.
