A propos de l'auteur

Franz Boas, a German-born American anthropologist, became the most influential anthropologist of his time. He left Germany because of its antiliberal and anti-Semitic climate. As a Columbia University professor for 37 years (1899-1936), he created both the field of anthropology and the modern afficher plus concept of culture. Boas played a key role in organizing the American Anthropological Association (AAA) as an umbrella organization for the emerging field. At both Columbia and the AAA, Boas encouraged the "four field" concept of anthropology; he personally contributed to physical anthropology, linguistics, archaeology, as well as cultural anthropology. His work in these fields was pioneering. Both directly and through the influence of such students as Ruth Benedict, Melville J. Herskovits, Alfred L. Kroeber, and Margaret Mead, he set the agenda for all subsequent American cultural anthropology. In His lifetime Boas had many leadership roles including: Assistant curator at the American Museum of Natural History; editor of The Journal of American Folklore; president of the New York Academy of Sciences, and founder of the International Journal of American Linguistics. Boas is the author of hundreds of scientific monographs and articles. He died in 1942. (Bowker Author Biography) afficher moins

Nato dal profondo interesse di Boas per le manifestazioni della cultura materiale, il libro è una delle più fortunate monografie di insieme sulle espressioni artistiche delle società preindustriali. Le forme e gli stili, i motivi e i simboli che ricorrono nella decorazione degli oggetti, le tecniche complesse che ne rendono possibile la produzione sono oggetto di attento esame. Sotto la lente dell'antropologo, la ricchissima campionatura dei manufatti descritti - ricami, dipinti, coperte, pali totemici, copricapi, utensili, armi, scatole, terraglie, cesti - si rivela preziosa per la comprensione delle culture che essi esprimono. In
particolare Boas ferma la sua attenzione sulla produzione proveniente in buona parte dalle popolazioni indiane del Nordarnerica, specialmente della costa nordoccidentale del versante pacifico che egli conosceva meglio di chiunque altro, e ne offre una eccezionale documentazione attraverso quasi trecento illustrazioni e disegni di grande suggestione. L'ultima parte del libro è dedicata alla letteratura primitiva orale, un tema che solo oggi sta ricevendo un'attenzione adeguata e un campo in cui Boas è stato un eminente raccoglitore di documenti e materiale autentico. Un breve accenno all'etnomusicologia e ai legami tra musica e testi e tra canto e danza conclude il volume. Si tratta dunque di un'indagine a tutto campo, che potrà essere apprezzata particolarmente oggi che le culture primitive sono al centro di un. rinnovato interesse.

translation is rigid, otherwise, Barnaby's stories (2/3 or so of the book) should enter the canon as one of the greatest myth cycles ever recorded from a single Turtle Island native.

I bought this book at Barnes and Noble several years ago. I got it mainly for the bit on the Dominican Republic.
