101041 | Broch, Harald Beyer - Jangan LupaInstituttet for sammenlignende kulturforskning/The Institute for Comparative Research in Human Culture (IFSK). Serie B, 109. An experiment in cross cultural understandingJangan Lupa is an remarkable book. It is at one and the same time an anthropologist?s selective ethnography of a relatively isolated Indonesian island, the story of a father?s skillful efforts to guide his Western children?s understanding of its exotic way of life, a perceptive account of the children?s gradual creative adaptation to that way of life, and an insightful description of the islander?s efforts to facilitate their adaptation. The book is remarkable not only because it comprises four separate genres, each illuminating the others, but also because it brilliantly weaves them together into a seamless narrative??.. -?he (Broch) has produced this pathbreaking study of the children?s and the islanders? perceptions and interpretation of each other?s behavior, values and motivations. -?..it was Broch?s insightful observations, his nuance interpretations, and his anthropological and psychological sophistication that make this book the important and instructive contribution that it is. For anthropologists and non-anthropologists alike it is an altogether fascinating read. (From the foreword by Melford E. Spiro)Harald Beyer Broch, Ph.D. Social Anthropology; dr.philos., University of Bergen, is an Associate Professor in Social Anthropology at the University of Oslo.

102383 | Dipio, Dominica et al. (eds.): Performing ChangeIdentity, Ownership and Tradition in Ugandan Oral Culture How do oral forms that have existed for generations reinvent themselves to remain valid in a high-tech world, in which communication is affected through cell phone and email? Who owns a song that has grown over decades, in and through the voices of a community? And what are the intellectual copyrights of a street performer when his act is posted on You Tube? These are some of the questions raised by the authors of this, the second collection of essays produced by scholars from Makerere University, as part of a continuing research project with the University of Bergen. Other writers explore issues of gender, in forms such as marriage songs and praise poetry, or in the appropriation of stories of heroic women to offer role models to young women making their way in competitive fields of activity in the new African economy. In addressing these and other issues, the writers in this collection present and preserve aspects of an oral culture of great richness and diversity, showing its continuity in the fact of the threats, and the opportunities, of unprecedented social change.

102642 | Schackt, Jon: A people of storiesin the forest of myth. Teh Yukuna of Miritiparana The title of this book plays on the importance myth has held as a focal theme in the study of Amazonian cultures. This is not least due to the work and legacy of Claude Lévi-Strauss, whose influential theory of myth was largely based on the study of material gathered from tropical South America. However, the survival to this day of strong oral cultures and traditions among Amazonian Indians provides an underpinning for the lasting significance of the theme... | NOK 310,00NOK 310,00 Legg til / Add |

100750 | Svensson, Tom G.- The Sámi and Their LandThe Sámi vs the Swedish Crown: A Study of the Legal Struggle for Improved Land Rights: The Taxed Mountains Case Instituttet for sammenlignende kulturforskning/The Institute for Comparative Research in Human Culture (IFSK). Serie B, 96. Rights to land and water are crucial to most land-based indigenous people in order for them to sustain their particular life styles. In modern times, claims for improved land rights are part of the agenda for indigenous people, both in the legal and the political arenas of the nation states to which they belong. These claims relate to basic features of international law, but they also reflect legal pluralistic strategy; legal arguments in court merge national law with customary law and international law. Actualizing and pursuing these claims can be seen as ethnopolitical activity, not just law, and are essential for cultural survival. The following monograph is an in-depth analysis of a unique case, in which the Sámi confronted the Swedish Crown on the issue of ownership rights to the Taxed Mountains in the South Sámi region in Sweden (1966-1981). The author followed the case at close range for the 15 years it lasted and has spent another 15 years following up the consequences of this huge and extensive case. The case is a unique and very significant event in Sámi cultural history. Comparison is made with recent legal confrontations in the northern Fourth World to place it in a broader perspective.The Institute for Comparative Research in Human Culture.

101021 | Aanonsen, Karl: Sunggud is our BusinessInstituttet for sammenlignende kulturforskning/The Institute for Comparative Research in Human Culture (IFSK). Serie B, 114. In the Philippines, the Tbolis have recently become famous for their colourful attire and weaving techniques, not least through colourful publications featuring Philippine tribal art. However, there has been very little discussion about the Tboli from a social anthropological point of view. The Tbolis? social organisation has hardly attracted any attention, nor has anyone addressed the apparent contradiction between their marriage practices and current models of marriage payments. The Tbolis? practice of providing substantial marriage prestations for the bride (sunggud), combined with uxorilocal settlement, cannot be accounted for by previous approaches to marriage payments in European and American anthropology. The objectives in this monograph are therefore twofold. First, it is an account of the Tbolis? customs, suggesting a model of their social organisation in general and their marriage practices in particular. Second, it aims to make a theoretical contribution to the general understanding of marriage payments. Central to the author's argument is a discussion of the ways in which social relations are constituted and the kind of transactions that the various types of social relationships facilitate. Equally important is the recognition that people bring multiple concerns into their encounters, that people are socially differently positioned, and that the meaning of an act may vary according to these positions. From this point of view, there should not be assumed in beforehand that the meaning of marriage payments is the same for the bride, the groom, the bride's father, her mother, the groom's father and mother, and all the other relatives on both sides who contribute to the exchange of marriage prestations. Thus the question must be reformulated . Instead of asking: -What is the meaning of the Tboli marriage payments??, the author asked: -What meanings do sunggud and its counterpart lós (provided by the bride's side) acquire for the involved actors, and how do these meanings vary according to their various social positions?? | NOK 310,00NOK 310,00 Legg til / Add |
