Sommario/riassunto |
|
Patricia Eakins est un oiseau rare de la littérature américaine contemporaine. Dans ce recueil, elle révise à sa manière la forme du conte populaire, mythologique, scientifique ou ethnographique, pour donner des récits hybrides, déroutants, d'un enchantement étrange. Ses nouvelles dépassent le constat nostalgique d'un passé perdu et proposent une mythologie subversive, d'une grande créativité linguistique. Qu'elle revisite le conte médiéval japonais ou le conte tibétain, le conte fantastique à la manière de Rabelais ou celui des Lumières du xviiie siècle français, le conte persan ou le conte inuit, la fable écologique ou le conte d'Hansel et Gretel, le récit de l'enfant sauvage du Far West ou le conte africain, elle sait nous maintenir en haleine, et nous surprendre autant que nous ravir. Ses Affamées donnent faim d'un sens nouveau. Avides et gravides, elles restent à notre mémoire longtemps après la lecture. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
"This innovative volume challenges contemporary views on material culture by exploring the relationship between wrapping materials and practices and the objects, bodies, and places that define them. Using examples as diverse as Egyptian mummies, Celtic tombs, Native American ceremonial bundles, baby swaddling, and contemporary African textiles, the dozen archaeologist and anthropologist contributors show how acts of wrapping and unwrapping are embedded in beliefs and thoughts of a particular time and place. These context specific, cultural, and technical acts offer a new lens on material culture and its relationship to cultural meaning"-- |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This is a vital new work; the first to take the University of Manchester's Museum as its subject. By setting the museum in its cultural and intellectual contexts, Nature and culture explores twentieth-century collecting and display, and the status of the object in the modern world. Beginning with the origins of the Manchester Museum, accounting for its development as an internationally renowned university museum, and concluding at its major expansion at the turn of the millennium, this book casts new light on the history of museums. How did objects become knowledge? Who encountered museum objects on their way to museums? What happened to collections within the museum? How did visitors use and respond to objects? In answering these questions, Nature and culture illuminates not only the history of one institution, but also contributes to wider discussions in the history of science, cultural history and museology. |
