Goldwork and Shamanism
Classic study with photos of gold artifacts. Book by Pre-Columbian cultures of Colombia scholar Reichel-Dolmatoff with studies of the mysterious rituals of what was undoubtedly the most important aspect of the life of the ancient ethnic communities of El Dorado: the decisive role of the Shamans and their hallucinatory world of magic and religion. The book analyses the spiritual dimensions of these cultures and the natural wisdom of century-old secrets along lavish full-page color images of the enigmatic and beautiful gold objects still known today as "gold of the ancients" that skillful craftsmen wrought for ritual use.
The Play of Mirrors
Focusing on the Bororo people of west-central Brazil, this book addresses the construction of self-identity through interethnic interaction. By presenting the images the Bororo have of themselves as well as the images of others who have interacted with them, Brazilian anthropologist Sylvia Caiuby Novaes argues convincingly that Bororo self-images are constructed with the aid of a peculiar looking-glass—it is in the images of others that they see themselves. Incorporating contributions from psychology, psychoanalysis, linguistics, and semiotics, Play of Mirrors focuses on symbols, images, discourse, and meanings rather than solely on the problem of acculturation. It thus reflects the thinking of a new generation of Brazilian anthropologists who have shifted their focus from native communities as isolated entities to an examination of their embeddedness within broader national and international arenas.

Jahrhundert: Was ein Bild zeigt oder gerade nicht zeigt, enthüllt ein bestimmtes figuratives Schema, das durch die formalen Mittel und durch die Anordnung, mit der es seine Wirkungskraft entfaltet, gekennzeichnet ist. Bilder ermöglichen uns so einen Zugang zu dem, was unterschiedliche menschliche Lebensformen ausmacht. Gestützt auf einen globalen und historisch weit ausgreifenden Vergleich von Werken einer atemberaubenden Vielfalt entwickelt Philippe Descola in seinem Buch die Grundlagen für eine...
Edusp, um projeto editorial
