Book excerpt: Herein are 15 stories and tales from the Southern most tip of Africa narrated by Outa Karel (Old Charles). Sanni Metelerkamp commences the narration with a description of "The Place and the People" which is a story in itself and sets the tone and background to the whole book. A common theme throught is the Trickster Jackal, not too dissimilar to the role played by the Coyote in American Indian tales and Anansi, the Trickster Spider in West African tales. You will then find 14 more South African tales. Stories like "Why the Hyena is Lame" - a story of why, when first seen walking, the Hyena gives the impression that it is lame and the role the Jackal played in bringing this about. Also, "Why the Heron has a Crooked Neck" - a story how the crook in the Heron's neck came about and how the devious Jackal, once again, had a part to play. There are also the Hottentot (Bushman) tales of "The Sun" and "The Stars and the Stars' Road" which when first documented surprised the translators, as who would have thought the Bushmen would have tales of the origin of the stars and planets. Indeed in Bleek and Lloyd's work Specimens of Bushman Folklore they recount the tale of "The Girl Of The Early Race, Who Made Stars" and also a poem of "Sirius And Canopus"! Metelerkamp states in the foreword that "These tales are the common property of every country child in South Africa" - and so they are and have been since the region was first populated thousands of years ago. We invite you to sit back in a comfy chair of a cold, crisp evening, a steaming hot beverage in hand and enjoy this sliver of South African culture from an age long past and almost forgotten. 33% of the net profit from the sale of this book will be donated to the SENTABALE charity supporting children in Lesotho orphaned by AIDS.

Download or read book The Economy of Prestige written by James F. English and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2008-12-15 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about one of the great untold stories of modern cultural life: the remarkable ascendancy of prizes in literature and the arts. Such prizes and the competitions they crown are almost as old as the arts themselves, but their number and power--and their consequences for society and culture at large--have expanded to an unprecedented degree in our day. In a wide-ranging overview of this phenomenon, James F. English documents the dramatic rise of the awards industry and its complex role within what he describes as an economy of cultural prestige. Observing that cultural prizes in their modern form originate at the turn of the twentieth century with the institutional convergence of art and competitive spectator sports, English argues that they have in recent decades undergone an important shift--a more genuine and far-reaching globalization than what has occurred in the economy of material goods. Focusing on the cultural prize in its contemporary form, his book addresses itself broadly to the economic dimensions of culture, to the rules or logic of exchange in the market for what has come to be called "cultural capital." In the wild proliferation of prizes, English finds a key to transformations in the cultural field as a whole. And in the specific workings of prizes, their elaborate mechanics of nomination and election, presentation and acceptance, sponsorship, publicity, and scandal, he uncovers evidence of the new arrangements and relationships that have refigured that field.
