Download or read book Cultures of Secrecy written by Andrew Lattas and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After driving the Japanese out of Papua New Guinea during World War II, the U.S. military forces left their gear -- and the makings of a cargo cult -- to the native Kaliai. CULTURES OF SECRECY offers a close look at how, for fifty years, the bush Kaliai in Melanesia have worked these tailings of the western world into their indigenous culture. Lattas shows how cargo cults in general bring together past, present, and future in their curious blending of traditional myths, imported folklore, borrowed state practices and ideologies, and reworked Christian stories. The result is a richly interdisciplinary work that uses ethnography to explore questions of racial experience, gender relations, space, time, death, and the politics of human relations. Never passive imitators, the Kaliai as Andrew Lattas portrays them actively incorporate and transform western beliefs and practices into their own narratives of life, sexuality, and death. The consequences are new myths and histories, new relationships with the ancestral dead -- an alternative world of power and knowledge through which the Kaliai accommodate the dominant white culture and its institutions. Lattas examines the racial conflict that has riddled the recent history of the cargo cults. He also describes the cults' demonization by the New Tribes missionaries from the United States, who disapprove of the villagers' unorthodox miming of European symbols and practices. His book allows us to see behind the villagers' ambivalence toward "waitskin" (white-skins) as they continue to reinvent their social world.

Download or read book A Study of Siouan Cults written by James Owen Dorsey and published by e-artnow. This book was released on 2018-04-09 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cult, as used in this book, means a system of religious belief and worship, especially the rites and ceremonies employed in such worship. The present book treats of the cults of a few of the Siouan tribes—that is, with two exceptions, of such tribes as have been visited by the author. "Siouan" is a term originated by the Bureau of Ethnology. It is derived from "Sioux," the popular name for those Indians who call themselves "Dakota" or "Lakota," the latter being the Teton appellation. "Siouan" is used as an adjective, but, unlike its primitive, it refers not only to the Dakota tribes, but also to the entire linguistic stock or family. The Siouan family includes the Dakota, Assiniboin, Omaha, Ponka, Osage, Kansa, Kwapa, Iowa, Oto, Missouri, Winnebago, Mandan, Hidatsa, Crow, Tutelo, Biloxi, Catawba, and other Indians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The series Religion and Society (RS) contributes to the exploration of religions as social systems - both in Western and non-Western societies; in particular, it examines religions in their differentiation from, and intersection with, other cultural systems, such as art, economy, law and politics. Due attention is given to paradigmatic case or comparative studies that exhibit a clear theoretical orientation with the empirical and historical data of religion and such aspects of religion as ritual, the religious imagination, constructions of tradition, iconography, or media. In addition, the formation of religious communities, their construction of identity, and their relation to society and the wider public are key issues of this series.

Download or read book The Peyote Cult written by Weston La Barre and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is the classical study of the background of the Mexican and American Indian ritual based on the plant that produces profound but temporary sensory and psychic derangements. Acid-heads and mind-blowing cultists will find much thought-food in this careful anthropological work, and in the author's new preface, with its penetrating appraisal of the use of artificial psychedelic drugs as instruments of revolt... The study started when the author was twenty-four; he participated in the rites of fifteen tribes using Lophophora williamsii (Lemaire), a small, spineless, carrot-shaped cactus growing in the Rio Grande Valley and southward. The original study has been supplemented by two essays that bring the account up to 1964, including a report of the Timothy Leary-Richard Alpert "débacle" at Harvard in 1963."--Google.
Download or read book Feeding Sharing and Devouring written by Peter Berger and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2015-02-17 with total page 637 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few thorough ethnographic studies on Central Indian tribal communities exist, and the elaborate discussion on the cultural meanings of Indian food systems ignores these societies altogether. Food epitomizes the social for the Gadaba of Odisha. Feeding, sharing, and devouring refer to locally distinguished ritual domains, to different types of social relationships and alimentary ritual processes. In investigating the complex paths of ritual practices, this study aims to understand the interrelated fields of cosmology, social order, and economy of an Indian highland community.
