Description:From the authors preface:...the content of this Volume, no.4, shows clearly that over the years... cultural context is an essential part of the total situation of the objects I have been describing and the craftsmen and craftswomen who produce them....for people with roots in the Western Grasslands it is clear that the past and future of traditional handicrafts are inseparably linked to the future of tradition as a whole and traditional status systems in particular.Although we did not originally intend to include traditional practices and religious beliefs in these four Volumes, it has seemed more and more necessary to include at least some aspects of this part of life in the Western Grasslands. What we offer here helps to explain traditional government, the ancestral connections, and the local people's way of thinking about human behaviour and welfare. Linking the description and analysis of some aspects of culture and religion with an analysis of arts and crafts will enable the reader to understand better the relationship between the broader culture and the kind of technology and aesthetics we are concerned with here, especially through the link with symbolism and ritual customs.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
