Download or read book Greek Festivals Modern and Ancient written by Evy Johanne Håland and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2017-06-20 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume represents a multi-faceted, cross-period product of fieldwork conducted in contemporary Greece in combination with ancient sources. Based on a comparative analysis of important religious festivals and life-cycle rituals, the book investigates the importance of cults connected with the Greek female sphere and its relation to the official male-dominated ideology. Within these festivals are encountered supplementary, complementary or competing ideologies connected with men and women, and it is shown that there is not a one-way power structure or male dominance within Greek culture, but rather competing powers linked to the two sexes and their respective spheres. In addition to gender, the book also explores the relationship between the “great” and “little” societies, in the form of official and popular religion. As such, it will serve to broaden the reader’s knowledge of ancient, but also modern, society, because it concerns the relationship between various spheres of life which each possess their own competing and overlapping, but also co-existing, value-systems.

This book was released on 2014-10-02 with total page 690 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Winner of the AFS Elli Köngäs-Maranda Prize 2016* Multidisciplinary or post-disciplinary research is what is needed when dealing with such complex subjects as ritual behaviour. This research, therefore, combines ethnography with historical sources to examine the relationship between modern Greek death rituals and ancient written and visual sources on the subject of death and gender. The central theme of this work is women’s role in connection with the cult of the dead in ancient and modern Greece. The research is based on studies in ancient history combined with the author’s fieldwork and anthropological analysis of today’s Mediterranean societies. Since death rituals have a focal and lasting importance, and reflect the gender relations within a society, the institutions surrounding death may function as a critical vantage point from which to view society. The comparison is based on certain religious festivals that are dedicated to deceased persons and on other death rituals. Using laments, burials and the ensuing memorial rituals, the relationship between the cult dedicated to deceased mediators in both ancient and modern society is analysed. The research shows how the official ideological rituals are influenced by the domestic rituals people perform for their own dead, and vice versa, that the modern domestic rituals simultaneously reflect the public performances. As this cult has many parallels with the ancient official cult, the following questions are central: Can an analysis of modern public and domestic rituals in combination with ancient sources tell the reader more about the ancient death cult as a whole? What does such an analysis suggest about the relationship between the domestic death cult and the official? Since the practical performance of the domestic rituals was – and still remains – in the hands of women, it is crucial to discover the extent of their influence to elucidate the real power relations between women and men. This research represents a new contribution to earlier presentations of the Greek “reality”, but mainly from the female perspective, which is highly significant since men produced most of the ancient sources. This means that the principal objective for this endeavour is to question the ways in which history has been written through the ages, to supplement the male with a female perspective, perhaps complementing an Olympian Zeus with a Chthonic Mother Earth. The research brings both ancient and modern worlds into mutual illumination; its relevance therefore transcends the Greek context both in time and space.

Download or read book Under the Cloak written by Jón Hnefill Aðalsteinsson and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes its title from the momentous decision of the Icelandic law-giver, Thorgeir, in AD 1000, to adopt Christianity as the island's official religion. According to tradition, this was taken as he lay "under a cloak", presumably seeking inspiration from his, pagan, deities. First published in 1979, the present edition expands its discussion of the background to this peacable adoption of the new faith, and its growth under succeeding generations. The author shows how tolerance and pragmatism were early features of the Icelandic church.

Nordiske etnologi- og folkloristkongress ble avviklet på Hankø i Østfold i mai 2000. Her foregikk en kritisk diskusjon om fagenes fortid og fremtid, om tradisjoner og praksis, om perspektiver og kunnskapsbasis. Gamle og nye empiriske interessefelt ble brettet ut, metoder og teoretiske innlån i fortid og nåtid ble debattert og vurdert, og fagenes kurs fremover antydet. Det overordnede temaet var "Norden og nordiske fagtradisjoner" med forholdet til Europa og europeisk etnologi som ett av de sentrale fokus. Hva innebærer betegnelsen "europeisk etnologi" og hvordan ser våre europeiske kolleger på oss? Boken inneholder et redigert utvalg av de ca. 70 foredragene på kongressen, inklusive synspunkter fra innbudte forskere fra Tyskland, Frankrike, Estland, England, USA og Israel. Litteraturlister. Norsk, svensk, dansk og engelsk tekst.
