Translating Time : Cinema, the Fantastic, and Temporal Critique (9780822345107)

Under modernity, time is regarded as linear and measurable by clocks and calendars. Despite the historicity of clock-time itself, the modern concept of time is considered universal and culturally neutral. What Walter Benjamin called "homogeneous, empty time" founds the modern notions of progress and a uniform global present in which the past and other forms of time consciousness are seen as superseded. In Translating Time, Bliss Cua Lim argues that fantastic cinema depicts the coexistence of other modes of being alongside and within the modern present, disclosing multiple "immiscible temporalities" that strain against the modern concept of homogeneous time. In this wide-ranging study-encompassing Asian American video (On Cannibalism), ghost films from the New Cinema movements of Hong Kong and the Philippines (Rouge, Itim, Haplos), Hollywood remakes of Asian horror films (Ju-on, The Grudge, A Tale of Two Sisters) and a Filipino horror film cycle on monstrous viscera

Vodou (Voodoo) : Kunst und Kultur aus Haiti (3496028351)

Vodou (auch bekannt als Voodoo) ist in Haiti allgegenwärtig. In Haiti ist der Vodou eine vom Großteil der Bevölkerung ausgeübte obwohl erst seit 2003 offiziell anerkannte Religion.

Die bildlichen Inszenierungen des Fotografen Johnathan Watts, ein Beitrag der haitianischen Ethnologin Rachel Beauvoir-Dominique und Interviews mit Marianne Lehmann und einem Vodou-Priester bieten einen Zugang zur tieferen Bedeutung des Vodou: das Gedenken an die Sklaven und ihr Ringen um Freiheit und Unabhängigkeit. Marianne Lehmann, eine Schweizerin, die 1957 nach Port-au-Prince kam, sammelt seit über 30 Jahren Vodou-Objekte. Der Katalog stellt mehr als 300 Exponate aus der Sammlung Lehmann vor, die weltweit erstmals in einer Ausstellung des Musée dethnographie de Genève (MEG) in Zusammenarbeit mit der Fondation pour la préservation, la valorisation et la production dOEuvres culturelles

Satire and cartography rarely come in a single package but in the Atlas of Prejudice they successfully blend in a work of art that is both funny and thought-provoking.

Private Lives, Public Histories : An Ethnohistory of the Intimate Past (9781793604286)

Private Lives, Public Histories brings together diverse methods from archaeology and cultural anthropology, enabling us to glean rare information on private lives from the historical record. The chapters span geographic areas to present recent ethnohistorical research that advances our knowledge of the connections between the public and private domains and the significance of these connections for understanding the past as a lived experience, both historically and in a contemporary sense. We discuss how the use of different sources-e.g., public records, personal journals, material culture, the built environment, letters, public performances, etc.-can reveal different types of information about past cultural contexts, as well as private sentiments about official culture and society.
