ISBN: 9780226734996 / Angielski / Miękka / 233 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Using historical and ethnographic data, Margaret Sarkissian reveals that this music and dance draws on an eclectic... When the Portuguese seafarer Afonso de Albuquerque conquered the bustling port of Malacca in 1511, he effectively gained control of the entire South C...

This footprint acts as a moral center of gravity, an important place for music-making, dancing, and other rituals. Places such as this, and moments in time, serve as physical and moral "anchors" for the Kota community. In this book, Richard K. Wolf explores how the Kotas "anchor" their musical and other activities around places and significant moments in time and, in the process, constitute themselves as individuals and as a group.
