Anul aparitiei: 2020

There are three parts in this book.The first part covers philosophical learning. It captures the imaginary thoughts of a newborn baby. It touches upon the aspects of its readiness as a part of this birth. Will it find out the details of "Runa" (Roughly translated as Debt), what is required to find out the balance, what actions are required to achieve zero balance, what is the purpose of this life, etc. Finally, it requests the supreme to grant just two boons.The second part is all about professional learnings captured in the form of formulas. During the early phase of learning from educational institutions, it is all about structured learning. Be it the number of subjects, syllabus, guidance, regular assessment etc. The idea is to prepare the subject (person) to be ready to solve the future challenges. When one gets into any professional life, one would figure out that all those learning subjects and techniques are necessary but not sufficient. In this phase (career phase), learning is never structured. Everyone has to figure out their own style of learning and form the compilation. The second part of the book possesses my learnings compiled into formulae. The formulae also ...

Memory and Intermediality in Artists' Moving Image

Editura: PALGRAVE MACMILLAN LTD

Anul aparitiei: 2020

This book addresses the preoccupation with memory in contemporary artists' moving image installations. It situates artists' moving image in relation to the transformations of digitalization as hybrid intermedial combinations of analogue film, video and digital video emerge from mid 1990s onwards. While film has always been closely associated with the process of memory, this book investigates new models of memory in artists' remediation of film with video and other intermedial aesthetics. Beginning with a chapter on the theorization of memory and the moving image and the diverse genealogies of artists' film and video, the following chapters identify five different mnemonic modes in artists' moving image: critical nostalgia, database narrative, the 'echo-chamber', documentary fiction and mediatized memories. Stan Douglas, Steve McQueen, Runa Islam, Mark Leckey and Elizabeth Price are of a generation that has lived through the transition from analogue to digital. Their emphasis on the nuances of intermediality indicates the extent to which we remember through media.

How Forests Think Lib/E: Toward an Anthropology Beyond the Human

Editura: TANTOR AUDIO

Anul aparitiei: 2021

Can forests think? Do dogs dream? In this astonishing book, Eduardo Kohn challenges the very foundations of anthropology, calling into question our central assumptions about what it means to be human--and thus distinct from all other life forms. Based on four years of fieldwork among the Runa of Ecuador's Upper Amazon, Kohn draws on his rich ethnography to explore how Amazonians interact with the many creatures that inhabit one of the world's most complex ecosystems. Whether or not we recognize it, our anthropological tools hinge on those capacities that make us distinctly human. However, when we turn our ethnographic attention to how we relate to other kinds of beings, these tools (which have the effect of divorcing us from the rest of the world) break down. How Forests Think seizes on this breakdown as an opportunity. Avoiding reductionistic solutions, and without losing sight of how our lives and those of others are caught up in the moral webs we humans spin, this book skillfully fashions new kinds of conceptual tools from the strange and unexpected properties of the living world itself. In this groundbreaking work, Kohn takes anthropology in a new and exciting direction--one ...

Amazonian Kichwa of the Curaray River: Kinship and History in the Western Amazon

Editura: UNIV OF NEBRASKA PR

Anul aparitiei: 2022

Amazonian Kichwa of the Curaray River is an exploration of the dynamics of regional societies and the ways in which kinship relationships define the scale of these societies. It details social relations across Kichwa-speaking indigenous communities and among neighboring members of other ethnolinguistic groups to explore the multiple ways in which the regional society is conceptualized among Amazonian Kichwa. Drawing on recent studies in kinship, landscape from an indigenous perspective, and social scaling, Mary-Elizabeth Reeve presents a view of Amazonian Kichwa as embedded in a multiethnic regional society of great historic depth. This book is a fine-grained ethnography of the Kichwa of the Curaray River region (Curaray Runa) in which Reeve focuses on ideas of social landscape, as well as residence, extended kin groups, historical memory, and collective ritual celebration, to show the many ways in which Curaray Runa express their placement within a regional society. The final chapter examines social scaling as it is currently unfolding in indigenous societies in Amazonian Ecuador through increasing multisited residence and political mobilization.
