Book excerpt: The first monograph on fashion designer Prabal Gurung, packed with stories, design inspiration, and never-before-seen photographs In February 2017, Prabal Gurung ended his show with a parade of feminist tees featuring phrases like “This Is What a Feminist Looks Like,” “Voices for Choices,” and “We Will Not Be Silenced.” A year later, his collection took inspiration from two female-dominated Asian cultures. Activism is built into designer Gurung’s ethos and the celebration of female empowerment serves as a constant focal point of his designs. He presents femininity with a bite, beauty with substance, and a diverse, inclusive world that is “Stronger in Color.” Prabal Gurung offers a window into Gurung’s design process, and it is filled with inspiration, mood boards, sketches, runway shots, and photographs of the clothing from the last 10 years. The Prabal Gurung woman is modern, intelligent, elegant, assured, and socially responsible, and this book is a celebration of people of all ages, races, shapes, sizes, sexualities, and identities.
Download or read book Himalayan Dialogue written by Stan Mumford and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mountain valleys of Nepal, Tibetan communities have long been established through migrations from the North. Because of these migrations over the last few centuries, Tibetan lamaism, as one of the world's great ritual traditions, can be studied in the Himalayas as a process that emerges through dialogue with the more ancient shamanic tradition which it confronts and criticizes. Here for the first time is a thorough anthropological study of Tibetan lamaism combining textual analysis with richly contextualized ethnographic data. The rites studied are of the Nyingma Tibetan Buddhist tradition. In contrast to the textual analyses that have viewed the culture as a finished entity, here we see an unbounded ritual process with unfinished interpretations. Mumford's focus is on the "dialogue" taking place between the lamaist and the shamanic regimes, as a historic development occurring between different cultural layers. The study powerfully demonstrates that interrelationships between subsystems within a given cultural matrix over time are critical to an understanding of religion as a cultural process.

Download or read book A Boy from Siklis written by Manjushree Thapa and published by Penguin Books India. This book was released on 2009 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last days of the monsoon in 2006, a helicopter crash in Nepal's eastern hills claimed some of the country's best, including the charismatic environmentalist Chandra Gurung. Starting with his birth as the son of the headman of the small village of Siklis, Manjushree Thapa follows the arc of his career as he achieved one democratic breakthrough after another in a conservation movement under royal patronage, where the royal family expected environmentalists to pander to their every whim. Offering a historical view into Nepal's conservation movement as a whole, A Boy from Siklis is the portrait of one man, of his times, and of a nation made and unmade-and made anew-by its quest for democracy.
Download or read book Dreams of Lies and Delusions written by James Polus and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2022-07-13 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fictitious historical tale set in a lost civilization of South Asia, “Dreams of Lies and Delusions” is a speculation about the existence of elaborate texts detailing the people and events of their times, well before the appearance of books. Like many of the sophisticated cities in ancient times, this fanciful chronicle of a lost writing system did not survive the passage of time, shifting climates, earthquakes, floods, and destructive invasions. Imaginative oral traditions filled the void for thousands of years. The story depicts the challenges of justice, the fight for equality, and the human drive for purpose. Malevolent and baneful characters influenced by pride, revenge, and desire for power show the twisted, murderous influence of extreme personality disorders, manifested in dreams and imaginary visitations. A vengeful ruler, a serial killer, and a religious zealot poison their minds with lies and delusions, fomenting evil acts and ultimate self-destruction. Remarkable women characters fill the pages with acts of courage, wisdom, and shrewdness. These characters remind us of the untapped potentiality of women in every aspect of life across the world, particularly in some cultures chained to conservative ideologies.

Download or read book Global Nepalis written by David N. Gellner and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-09 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Migration has been a basic fact of Nepali life for centuries. Over the last thirty years, migration from Nepal has increased diaspora communities across the world. In these diverse contexts, to what extent do Nepalis reproduce their culture and pass it on to subsequent generations? How much of diaspora life is a response to social and political concerns derived from the homeland? What aspects of Nepali life and culture change? In this volume twenty-one authors address these issues through eighteen detailed case studies that tackle issues of livelihood, identity and belonging, internal conflict, and religious practice, in the UK, the USA, India, Southeast Asia, the Gulf countries, and Fiji. Throughout the volume, we see how being Nepali outside Nepal enables new categories and new kinds of identity to emerge, whether as Nepali, Gorkhali, or as a member of a particular ethnic, regional, or religious group. The common theme of Global Nepalis is the exploration of continuity, change, and conflict as new practices and identities develop in Nepali diaspora life.exponentially, leading to many new
