This book relates the longitudinal participant observation and analysis of the behaviour of the Oaxacan art community, focusing on the cultural production, interaction and collective action of its members as an integrated sector of civil society. It presents a theoretical framework that succinctly defines and discusses postmodernism as a globalising force in the development and use of creative expression, the media and communications technology in a postcolonial context. The theoretical investigation is supported by ethnography that ascertains how hybrid political thought and community altruism characterise the behaviour and the aesthetic expression practised by a new generation of Oaxacan artists. Their collective action towards a pacifistic solution to the Oaxaca Conflict of 2006, a six-month socio-political uprising caused by actual and historic conditions in the national, regional and universal Left-Right political duel, is detailed. The transdisciplinary approach makes the work very relevant for researchers, educators and students of social anthropology, visual communication and media studies, in addition to those interested in Oaxacan, Mexican and Latin American art and culture.

Alan Eliot Goldberg has navigated pot-holed roads to remote, sleepy Mexican Villages in pursuit of folk art for almost 60 years that resulted in a 1,000 piece Mexican Folk Art Collection he recently donated to The Mexican Museum, a Smithsonian Affiliate. In the spring of 2020 everything changed in Oaxaca as covid-19 spread throughout the region. To limit contamination the villages sealed themselves off from the outside world, but the virus spread rapidly. As a result of this action, the artists had little or no sales for their folk art and therefore no sustainable income. Alan Goldberg organized a Covid-19 themed folk art competition and the entries were so compelling he decided to undertake an art book featuring pieces from the competition. The book is in two parts. The first part explores the surrounding landscape, heritage, and culture of the indigenous Oaxacan people, and opens a window into the artists imagination, the way they meet adversity with humor, bewilderment and resilience as they cope with Covid-19. The second part is a catalogue containing photographs of the artists and a description and photographs of their work. One critic remarked, Alan Goldberg's beautifully illustrated book presents a difficult subject in difficult times treated ln a straightforward way, naturally as life itself.

"This book discusses rewritings of the Mexican colonia to question present-day realities of marginality and inequality, imposed political domination, and hybrid subjectivities. Critics examine literature and films produced in and around Mexico since 2000to broaden our understanding beyond the theories of the new historical novel and upend the notion of the novel as the sole re-creative genre"--

Evolution Of God written by Leonardo Wolfe and has been published by WestBow Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2021-02-24 with Religion categories.


This debut book boldly seeks to argue competitively in the same intellectual field as famous atheists such as RICHARD DAWKINS, CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS, and BERTRAND RUSSELL, and to do so in the spirit and style of such famous Christian apologists as C.S. Lewis and RAVI ZACHARIAS, drawing heavily on basic science, history, physics, psychology, paleontology, anthropology, archeology, neurology, child development and even science fiction. It describes the evolution of the human brain in ancient hominids allowing humans to eventually conceive a non-physical realm (the spirit world), and as the mind evolved intellectually from primitive animism to Christology, God revealed himself gradually as the developing hominid brain became able to comprehend new ideas. For Believers, the author presents a new, intellectually satisfying way to understand and defend the Bible. For both Skeptics and Believers, a worldview is offered that is spiritually meaningful and scientifically sound.

Alternative Pathways to Complexity focuses on the themes of architecture, economics, and power in the evolution of complex societies. Case studies from Mesoamerica, Asia, Africa, and Europe examine the relationship between political structures and economic configurations of ancient chiefdoms and states through a framework of comparative archaeology. A group of highly distinguished scholars takes up important issues, theories, and methods stemming from the nascent body of research on comparative archaeology to showcase and apply important theories of households, power, and how the development of complex societies can be extended and refined. Drawing on the archaeological, ethnohistorical, and ethnographic records, the chapters in this volume contain critical investigations on the role of collective action, economics, and corporate cognitive codes in structuring complex societies. Alternative Pathways to Complexity is an important addition to theoretical development and empirical research on Mesoamerica, the Old World, and cross-cultural studies. The theoretical implications addressed in the chapters will have broad appeal for scholars grappling with alternative pathways to complexity in other regions as well as those addressing diverse cross-cultural research.
