Neighbors, Strangers, Witches, and Culture-Heroes: Ritual Powers of Smith/Artisans in Tuareg Society and Beyond
ISBN: 9780761861485 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 162 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book examines alleged "superhuman" powers predominantly associated with smith/artisans in five African societies. It discusses their ritual and social roles, mythico-histories, symbols surrounding their art, and changing relationships between these specialists and their patrons. Needed but also feared, these smith/artisans work in traditionally hereditary occupations and in stratified but negotiable relationships with their rural patron families. Many of them now also work for new customers in an expanding market economy, which is still characterized by personal, face-to-face...

The Poetics and Politics of Tuareg Aging
ISBN: 9780875802206 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Tuareg in Africa understand aging in a way that is distinctly nonlinear -- a dimension of life they measure outside a chronological time frame. For the Tuareg, the life course of an individual is more important to the notion of age than the literal age, and rituals related to marriage, childbirth, and death mark the process of aging.
Laying a foundation for deeper understanding of topics related to gender, social stratum, and kinship, Rasmussen sheds light on the concept of aging as she shows the need to deconstruct standard perceptions of age for studying other cultures. The Tuareg in Africa understand aging in a way that is distinctly nonlinear -- a dimension of life they measure outside a chronological time frame. Fo...

Spirit Possession and Personhood Among the Kel Ewey Tuareg
ISBN: 9780521470070 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Among the Tuareg people in the Air Mountain region of Niger, women are sometimes possessed by spirits called 'the people of solitude'. The evening curing rituals of the possessed, featuring drumming and song, take place before an audience of young men and women, who joke and flirt as the ritual unfolds. In her analysis of this tolerated but unofficial cult, Susan Rasmussen analyses symbolism and aesthetic values, provides case studies of possessed women, and reviews what local people think about the meaning of possession.

Healing in Community: Medicine, Contested Terrains, and Cultural Encounters Among the Tuareg
ISBN: 9780897897617 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Exploring the multiple communities of healing among the Tuareg people of Niger, this work examines the beliefs and practices that surround healing and the quest for medicine. In studying ideals of healing that face challenges from wider political and economic forces, the author enables us to understand these culturally and historically constructed processes. This leads us to comprehend how many Tuareg construct and deconstruct local notions of medicine and healers, how patients cope with current problems in health care, and more broadly, how medical knowledge is constructed in anthropology...
