Here, early in the sixteenth century, in so-called Darien, the country extending from the Chepo or Bayano River on the Pacific slope near the Canal Zone southeastward to the Atrato River on the Caribbean slope near the Colombian border, were made the first Spanish explorations and settlements. Within a few years, indeed as early as 1518, the Spanish were forced to leave Darien because Of conflict with native tribes and, later, with English buccaneers and freebooters. They then established themselves at Panama City, more than 100 miles farther west along the Pacific coast.

Download or read book Molas written by Diana Marks and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Molas, the distinctive blouses made and worn by Kuna women in Panama, are collected by thousands of enthusiasts as well as by anthropological museums all over the world. They are recognized everywhere as an identifier of the Kuna people and also of Panama. This book, based on original research, explores the origin of the mola in the early twentieth century, how it became part of the everyday dress of Kuna women, and its role in creating Kuna identity. Images drawn from more than twenty museums as well as private collections show the development of designs and techniques and highlight changes in the garment as an item of indigenous fashion. Applying an interdisciplinary approach—fusing historical, ethnographic, and material culture studies—author Diana Marks contributes to ongoing debates on cultural authenticity, the invention of traditions, and issues of gender and politics.

Download or read book Dancing Cultures written by Hélène Neveu Kringelbach and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dance is more than an aesthetic of life – dance embodies life. This is evident from the social history of jive, the marketing of trans-national ballet, ritual healing dances in Italy or folk dances performed for tourists in Mexico, Panama and Canada. Dance often captures those essential dimensions of social life that cannot be easily put into words. What are the flows and movements of dance carried by migrants and tourists? How is dance used to shape nationalist ideology? What are the connections between dance and ethnicity, gender, health, globalization and nationalism, capitalism and post-colonialism? Through innovative and wide-ranging case studies, the contributors explore the central role dance plays in culture as leisure commodity, cultural heritage, cultural aesthetic or cathartic social movement.

Download or read book Exoticisation undressed written by Dimitrios Theodossopoulos and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2016-07-05 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exoticisation undressed is an innovative ethnography that makes visible the many layers through which our understandings of indigenous cultures are filtered and their inherent power to distort and refract understanding. The book focuses in detail on the clothing practices of the Emberá in Panama, an Amerindian ethnic group, who have gained national and international visibility through their engagement with indigenous tourism. The very act of gaining visibility while wearing indigenous attire has encouraged among some Emberá communities a closer identification with an indigenous identity and a more confident representational awareness. The clothes that the Emberá wear are not simply used to convey messages, but also become constitutive of their intended messages. By wearing indigenous-and-modern clothes, the Emberá-who are often seen by outsiders as shadows of a vanishing world-reclaim their place as citizens of a contemporary nation. Through reflexive engagement, Exoticisation undressed exposes the workings of ethnographic nostalgia and the Western quest for a singular, primordial authenticity, unravelling instead new layers of complexity that reverse and subvert exoticisation.
