Mararoko describes the traditional and changing life of the South Kewa people of Papua New Guinea. Through discussion of story-telling, ritual performance and the power of pigs, the author suggests that an idiom of exchange integrates the various domains of Kewa cultural experience and provides a means of change. The work is accompanied by a collection of stories, historical accounts and songs.

Other People's Myths celebrates the universal art of storytelling, and the rich diversity of stories that people live by. Drawing on Biblical parables, Greek myths, Hindu epics, and the modern mythologies of Woody Allen and soap operas, Wendy Doniger O'Flaherty encourages us to feel anew the force of myth and tradition in our lives, and in the lives of other cultures. She shows how the stories of mythology—whether of Greek gods, Chinese sages, or Polish rabbis—enable all cultures to define themselves. She raises critical questions about the way we interpret mythical stories, especially the way different cultures make use of central texts and traditions. And she offers a sophisticated way of looking at the roles myths play in all cultures.

Religious And Ritual Change written by Pamela J. Stewart and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2009 with Religion categories.

The topic of religious and ritual change, including conversion from one modality of practices to another, has emerged in recent years as a prime focus of scholarly attention in anthropology and related disciplines, such as history, sociology, political science and religious studies. Conversion to Christianity is one focus that has developed within this broad and dynamic field of investigations. This edited volume is a unique set of studies that explores this field further, with a doubly innovative approach. First, the chapters represent a collaboration of leading scholars from Taiwan and from the USA and Europe. Second, the studies involve a comparative dimension, juxtaposing work done among indigenous Austronesian minorities in Taiwan and work done in the Pacific Islands (Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands). Within this collection of essays, common processes of change are evident, while the importance of specific histories is revealed, and analytical and theoretical issues are probed and reviewed in ways that demonstrate their relevance to the overall dimensions of comparison. No other work in this arena of study has brought together scholars with such a comparative framework in mind. This volume is relevant for scholars and students of religious change generally, as well as those readers who are interested in the wider Asia-Pacific region, minority groups, Christianity, indigenous movements, and the socialization of the ritual body in contexts of historical and cosmological change. This book is part of the Ritual Studies Monograph Series, edited by Pamela J. Stewart and Andrew Strathern, Department of Anthropology, University of Pittsburgh. "... [A] wide range of views are offered ... Overall the book offers itself as a detailed archive of ethnographic information for further analysis and interpretation of these and other issues." -- Religion and Society: Advances in Research

¿Qué ocurre cuando entramos en contacto con historias y mitos de otros pueblos? ¿Qué enriquecimiento y qué peligros se perfilan cada vez que encontramos al otro? El mito fundamenta la relación del ser humano con su estructura social, con el cosmos y con lo sagrado. Como tal, el mito hace posible «organizar» el mundo, transformar el caos en orden y dotar de sentido a la existencia. El predominio en nuestra área cultural del pensamiento lógico no ha supuesto, sin embargo, la desaparición del mito. Su profundo anclaje en la conciencia hace que resurja en las realidades más diversas. Puesto que no podemos ignorar el mito, Wendy Doniger nos estimula a afrontarlo, a «utilizarlo» en un sentido consciente y creativo para nuestra existencia. En un recorrido universal que va desde las parábolas bíblicas, los mitos griegos o las epopeyas hindúes hasta las modernas «mitologías» de Woody Allen, la autora analiza los diferentes usos que las distintas culturas hacen de sus tradiciones y nos muestra cómo los mitos de otros pueblos nos pueden ayudar a comprender los nuestros.
