Dhillon -- Back Matter -- Name Index /Richard Shusterman.Cities are defined by their complex network of busy streets and the multitudes of people that animate them through physical presence and bodily actions that often differ dramatically: elegant window-shoppers and homeless beggars, protesting crowds and patrolling police. As bodies shape city life, so the city’s spaces, structures, economies, politics, rhythms, and atmospheres reciprocally shape the urban soma. This collection of original essays explores the somaesthetic qualities and challenges of city life (in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas) from a variety of perspectives ranging from philosophy, urban theory, political theory, and gender studies to visual art, criminology, and the interdisciplinary field of somaesthetics. Together these essays illustrate the aesthetic, cultural, and political roles and trials of bodies in the city streets.Studies in Somaesthetics;volume02.City and town lifeStreetscapes (Urban design)AestheticsElectronic books.City and town life.Streetscapes (Urban design)Aesthetics.307.76Shusterman RichardNL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910511621603321Bodies in the streets2552591UNINA05942nam 2200649Ia 450 991078146260332120200520144314.01-283-16108-7978661316108690-04-21622-710.1163/ej.9789004193802.i-624(CKB)2550000000040908(EBL)737658(OCoLC)743693665(SSID)ssj0000503048(PQKBManifestationID)12175116(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000503048(PQKBWorkID)10459816(PQKB)10418590(MiAaPQ)EBC737658(OCoLC)743693665(OCoLC)744519911(nllekb)BRILL9789004216228(Au-PeEL)EBL737658(CaPaEBR)ebr10483870(CaONFJC)MIL316108(PPN)174545878(EXLCZ)99255000000004090820101102d2011 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrWhen the goddess was a woman[electronic resource] mahābhārata ethnographies : essaysVolume 2 /by Alf Hiltebeitel ; edited by Vishwa Adluri and Joydeep BagcheeLeiden ;Boston Brill20111 online resource (672 p.)Numen book series ;v. 132Description based upon print version of record.90-04-19380-4 Includes bibliographical references and index.Preliminary Material /V.

Bagchee.Explicitly acknowledging its status as a strī-śūdra-veda (a Veda for women and the downtrodden), the Mahābhārata articulates a promise to bring knowledge of right conduct, fundamental ethical, philosophical, and soteriological teachings, and its own grand narrative to all classes of people and all beings. Hiltebeitel shows how the Mahābhārata has more than lived up to this promise at least on the ground in Indian folk traditions. In this three-part volume, he journeys over the overlapping terrains of the south Indian cults of Draupadī (part I) and Kūttāṇṭavar (part II), to explore how the Mahābhārata continues to be such a vital source of meaning, and, in part III, then connects this vital tradition to wider reflections on prehistory, sacrifice, myth, oral epic, and modern theatre. This two volume edition collects nearly three decades of Alf Hiltebeitel’s researches into the Indian epic and religious tradition. The two volumes document Hiltebeitel’s longstanding fascination with the Sanskrit epics: volume 1 presents a series of appreciative readings of the Mahābhārata (and to a lesser extent, the Rāmāyaṇa), while volume 2 focuses on what Hiltebeitel has called “the underground Mahābhārata,” id est, the Mahābhārata as it is still alive in folk and vernacular traditions. Recently re-edited and with a new set of articles completing a trajectory Hiltebeitel established over 30 years ago, this work constitutes a definitive statement from this major scholar. Comprehensive indices, cross-referencing, and an exhaustive bibliography make it an essential reference work.
