Parppei.The post-Soviet resurrection of the Russian Orthodox Church has once again brought the idyllic borderland monastery of Valaam into public notice. The fame of the monastery is largely based on its long and honorable historic image as the “Northern Athos” . This book argues that the fascinating and colorful image of Valaam was exclusively a result of the National Romanticist historiographic efforts of the 18th and 19th centuries. The work contributes, for instance, to the fields of nationality and borderland studies. It is a versatile case study of the multifaceted ways in which contemporary ideological trends and politics have been reflected in history writing.Russian history and culture ;v. 6.RomanticismRussiaHistoryNationalismRussiaHistoryHistoriographyPolitical aspectsRussiaHistoryIdeologyRussiaHistoryPublic opinionRussiaHistoryRussiaChurch history18th centuryRussiaChurch history1801-1917Electronic books.RomanticismHistory.NationalismHistory.HistoriographyPolitical aspectsHistory.IdeologyHistory.Public opinionHistory.271/.8194715Parppei Kati874371MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456270603321"The oldest one in Russia"2111672UNINA05158nam 2201249Ia 450 991077840340332120230207230641.01-282-35995-997866123599580-520-94482-810.1525/9780520944824(CKB)1000000000811834(EBL)470943(OCoLC)609850084(SSID)ssj0000312209(PQKBManifestationID)11925246(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000312209(PQKBWorkID)10331117(PQKB)10994288(MiAaPQ)EBC470943(DE-B1597)520458(DE-B1597)9780520944824(Au-PeEL)EBL470943(CaPaEBR)ebr10343504(CaONFJC)MIL235995(dli)HEB33870(MiU) MIU01100000000000000001112(EXLCZ)99100000000081183420090126d2009 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrUncertain tastes[electronic resource] memory, ambivalence, and the politics of eating in Samburu, northern Kenya /Jon HoltzmanBerkeley University of California Pressc20091 online resource (297 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-520-25737-5 0-520-25736-7 Includes bibliographical references and index.Frontmatter -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- Part 1.

Histories of Eating -- Conclusion -- Notes -- Bibliography -- IndexThis richly drawn ethnography of Samburu cattle herders in northern Kenya examines the effects of an epochal shift in their basic diet-from a regimen of milk, meat, and blood to one of purchased agricultural products. In his innovative analysis, Jon Holtzman uses food as a way to contextualize and measure the profound changes occurring in Samburu social and material life. He shows that if Samburu reaction to the new foods is primarily negative-they are referred to disparagingly as "gray food" and "government food"-it is also deeply ambivalent. For example, the Samburu attribute a host of social maladies to these dietary changes, including selfishness and moral decay. Yet because the new foods save lives during famines, the same individuals also talk of the triumph of reason over an antiquated culture and speak enthusiastically of a better life where there is less struggle to find food. Through detailed analysis of a range of food-centered arenas, Uncertain Tastes argues that the experience of food itself-symbolic, sensuous, social, and material-is intrinsically characterized by multiple and frequently conflicting layers.ACLS Fellows' Publications.Memory, ambivalence, and the politics of eating in Samburu, northern KenyaSamburu (African people)FoodSamburu (African people)Domestic animalsSamburu (African people)Social conditionsFood habitsKenyaSamburu DistrictFood preferencesKenyaSamburu DistrictFoodSymbolic aspectsKenyaSamburu DistrictCulture conflictKenyaSamburu DistrictSocial changeKenyaSamburu DistrictSamburu District (Kenya)Social conditionsSamburu District (Kenya)Economic conditionsafrican culture.agricultural products.agriculture.anthropology.basic diet.blood.cattle.cultural studies.eating.ethnography.famines.food.gastronomy.government food.gray food.kenya.kenyan culture.loikop.lokop.meat.milk.moral decay.nilotic people.north central kenya.northern kenya.pastoralists.samburu cattle herders.samburu culture.samburu material life.samburu social life.samburu tribe.samburu.selfishness.semi nomadic.struggle for food.Samburu (African people)Food.Samburu (African people)Domestic animals.Samburu (African people)Social conditions.Food habitsFood preferencesFoodSymbolic aspectsCulture conflictSocial change641.30089/965Holtzman Jon1474518MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778403403321Uncertain tastes3688278UNINA
