El estudio se centra en cinco casos del Museo de las Culturas de Basilea (Suiza) del Museo Etnológico en Berlín (Alemania) y de los Museos Nacionales de la Cultura del Mundo en Gotemburgo, (Suecia) que los autores han acompañado de cerca en los últimos años y que involucran procesos de restitución. El trabajo esboza la complejidad de las visiones acerca del «objeto etnográfico» y muestra la importancia de entender las agendas de los actores involucrados –como instituciones privadas y estatales, representantes de comunidades indígenas, ONGs y particulares– en diferentes fases de los procesos, que a la vez suelen ser marcadas por cambios en las políticas patrimoniales, cambios de gobiernos y alianzas. El presente ensayo es una invitación a reflexionar profundamente sobre los contextos actuales, las intenciones y los trasfondos de pedidos de restitución.","PeriodicalId":213927,"journal":{"name":"Zea Books","volume":"407 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131935691","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hearn","doi":"10.32873/unl.dc.zea.1313","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32873/unl.dc.zea.1313","url":null,"abstract":"The works of Lafcadio Hearn (Koizumi Yakumo) played a critical role in introducing his adopted Japan to a worldwide audience. In Kokoro: Hints and Echoes of Japanese Inner Life, he writes, “The papers composing this volume treat of the inner rather than of the outer life of Japan, — for which reason they have been grouped under the title Kokoro (heart). This word signifies also mind, in the emotional sense; spirit; courage; resolve; sentiment; affection; and inner meaning, — just as we say in English, ‘the heart of things.’” After centuries of isolation Meiji-era Japan was forced to adjust its customs and beliefs to Western influences, and Hearn reflects on the value of these traditions of the “heart” as seen in Japanese popular justice, arts, economy, patriotism, and religion. Chapters include: At a Railway Station • The Genius of Japanese Civilization • A Street Singer • From a Traveling Diary • The Nun of the Temple of Amida • After the War • Haru • A Glimpse of Tendencies • By Force of Karma • A Conservative • In the Twilight of the Gods • The Idea of Preëxistence • In Cholera-Time • Some Thoughts About Ancestor-Worship • Kimiko • Three Popular Ballads: The Ballad of Shūntoku-maru • The Ballad of Oguri-Hangwan • The Ballad of O-Shichi, the Daughter of the Yaoya.","PeriodicalId":213927,"journal":{"name":"Zea Books","volume":"194 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132088658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I have tried to state the reasons for my decisions as clearly as possible. Most difficult to categorize are species which are not well documented. Hopefully by laying out the evidence I could find, others will be prompted to do more research, uncover definitive proof, and put more of our questionable reports to rest.

Se reconoce que son el origen de técnicas y diseños similares en Mesoamérica e incluso en el suroeste de Estados Unidos. Sin embargo, los estudios clave sobre estas técnicas y diseños en los Andes carecen de proponer cuáles serían los rasgos comunes que podrían haber impulsado esta difusión. Admiten que es probable que se compartiera el conocimiento técnico de esta técnica tejida por razones ideológicas o religiosas, pero no exploran cuáles podrían ser. Adoptando otra perspectiva sobre este problema, propongo que las técnicas, diseños y colores usados en el teñido por amarras revelan un lenguaje común de elementos asociados al cultivo del maíz. La difusión del cultivo del maíz en algunas regiones de las Américas coincide aproximadamente con el desarrollo de este conocimiento textil. Además, el impacto de los granos de maíz convertidos en cerveza en la historia sociopolítica de los Estados andinos explicaría el poder y la importancia simbólica atribuidos a estas imágenes tejidas.","PeriodicalId":213927,"journal":{"name":"Zea Books","volume":"53 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132535967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The conjunction of all this knowledge aims at getting a whole and interdisciplinary view through which the pre-Columbian art can be analyzed, thus moving from a theorical state to the moment of praxis. This methodological proposal is put to the test on the panels of the Great Ball Court of Chichen Itza, departing from its material nature to its symbolic level to exalt the need to widen the interpretative views through interdisciplinary interactions.","PeriodicalId":213927,"journal":{"name":"Zea Books","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123799244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The foundations of this image and its variations were particularly visible in the significant influence on the Paracas culture, which emerged at the same time and produced the most remarkable evidence of ancient Peruvian textile art. This not only regarding the specific technical textile aspects, but especially from an iconographic point of view. If the creation of a striking divine image is astonishing, it is even more remarkable that in Paracas a sequence of four different divine images is repeated in all details, which had already been shown several centuries earlier in Chavín. The divine image of Late Paracas, slightly altered, was taken over by the Early Nazca, while Late Nasca was visibly influenced by Tiahuanaco and Huari.","PeriodicalId":213927,"journal":{"name":"Zea Books","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125118475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An international port, with more than 200,000 inhabitants, it was open to French, Spanish, Mexican, South American, and West Indian cultural influences, and home to a thriving population descended from free African Americans. It was also a battleground in the fight against yellow fever (malaria) and in the political upheavals that followed the end of Reconstruction. The continued influx of Anglo-Americans and the renewed ascendancy of white supremacists threatened to overwhelm the local blend of languages, races, and cultures that enlivened the unique Creole character of the city. Writing for an English-language newspaper, Lafcadio Hearn presented the speech, charm, and humor of the Creolized natives on the other side of Canal Street, and illustrated his sketches with woodcut cartoons — the first of their kind in any Southern paper. These vignettes, published in the New Orleans Daily Item during 1878-1880, capture a traditionalist urban world and its colorful characters with a delicate and sympathetic understanding.","PeriodicalId":213927,"journal":{"name":"Zea Books","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114735545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
