Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Delo je v izvirniku pod naslovom Zvezdne poti in plesne sledi: Od Platona do romarskega vrtca izdalo Slovensko etnološko društvo leta 2021. Skozi sistematično zasnovana poglavja avtor bralca opremlja z znanji, ki so nujna za umeščanje pojava v kulturno-zgodovinske prostore. Opozarja ga na spreminjajoče se filozofske, moralne, etične, verske in druge predispozicije, ki so vplivale in tudi danes vplivajo na v raziskavi izpostavljene pojave. Da bi odgovoril na zastavljeno vprašanje, avtor zastavi širok zgodovinski prostor, in sicer od razumevanja antične tradicije ter ključnih antičnih filozofskih paradigem, prek zgodnjega krščanstva, do filozofskih in verskih dogem srednjega in novega veka. Upošteva tiste ključne miselne premise, ki so zaznamovale vsakokratna razumevanja plesnih vedênj v odnosu do pojmov, kot so sakralni prostor, sakralna vsebina, telo, gib … Monografija bralcu ponuja do zdaj nepoznane in še neinterpretirane referenčne literaturo, vire in podatke ter jih postavlja v širok okvir večdisciplinarnih razlag pojavov. Avtor je zanimanje iz polja svojih domicilnih ved, etnologije in kulturne antropologije, razširil na splošno zgodovino, zgodovino plesa, filozofijo, zgodovino glasbe in cerkve, teologijo in mitologijo. Gre za lucidno, kritično, teoretsko, metodološko in vsebinsko znanstveno utemeljeno delo o zgodovini umeščanja giba/plesa v kontekst sakralnega.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Jewishness and Dance written by Naomi M. Jackson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 761 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Responding to recent evolutions in the fields of dance and religious and secular studies, The Oxford Handbook of Jewishness and Dance documents and celebrates the significant impact of Jewish identity on a variety of communities and the dance world writ large. Focusing on North America, Europe, and Israel in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, this Handbook highlights the sometimes surprising, often hidden and overlooked Jewish resonances within a range of styles from modern and postmodern dance to folk dance and flamenco. Privileging the historically marginalized voices of scholars, performers, and instructors the Handbook considers the powerful role of dance in addressing difference, such as between American and Israeli Jewish communities. In the process, contributors advocate values of social justice, like Tikkun Olam (repair of the world), debate, and humor, exploring the fascinating and potentially uncomfortable contradictions and ambiguities that characterize this robust area of research.

Book excerpt: The fourth novel in the Cahokian story cycle, Star Path is an evocative tale about America’s greatest pre-Columbian city by New York Times bestselling authors W. Michael and Kathleen O’Neal Gear How do you say no to a god? Cahokia recovers from a year of chaos following a near civil war and the god incarnate, Morning Star, has declared that his human sister Night Shadow Star and her slave Fire Cat must make a dangerous journey to far off Cofitachequi. For an old threat has arisen on the other side of the great eastern mountains - their brother, Walking Smoke, a madman who is convinced that he is the true deity destined to rule Cahokia. Night Shadow Star is also ruled by the Underworld Lord, Piasa, but this power dangles a chance of happiness in front of Night Shadow Star and Fire Cat – if they succeed with his agenda, they might become nameless, clanless, and worthless. And thus free. But the treacherous Tenasee River that they must travel holds its own perils. And at the end of the journey, Walking Smoke prepares to spring his trap. Star Path, the fourth book in the Gears’ People of Cahokia series, takes the reader out of the great city of Cahokia and into a land of rivers, forests, tribes, and exiled colonies, providing us with a rare look into the mystical underpinnings of Native American culture and the founding of Mississippian civilization.
