Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Metaphysics of Apes traces the discovery and interpretation of the human-like great apes and the ape-like earliest ancestors of present-day humans. It shows how, from the days of Linnaeus to recent research, the sacred and taboo-ridden animal-human boundary was time and again challenged and adjusted. The unique dignity of humans is centrally on the minds of taxonomists, ethnologists, primatologists, and archaeologists, guiding their research considerably.This book thus is the first to offer an anthropological analysis of these anthropological disciplines in terms of their own cultural taboos and philosophical preconceptions.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 243 pages : illustrations (chiefly color), maps ; 29 cm. Summary:"Shamans in Southeast Borneo once donned anthropomorphic amulets (Jurookng) strung on a necklace in order to help them deal with the spirit world, in particular when healing the ill. Such figurines, embodying spirits, were also widely carried, or kept, by the common people as a means of protection against malicious spirits, black magic and other dangers. This abundantly illustrated analysis is based on a lengthy tradition of reports by, among others, colonial officials, missionaries, ethnographers and shamans themselves. It introduces a spectacular set of 64 such as well as similar shamanic amulets, acquired during the 1960s. Jurookng are understudied, despite their stylistic beauty and richly varied, intriguing iconography. Albeit small in size, in both respects they surpass the majority of the larger manufactured. Raymond Corbey is an anthropologist attached to Leiden University. His research includes the history of dealings with non-western ritual art by, among others, art dealers, collectors, scholars, museums, and in particular, missionaries."-- Provided by publisher.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The assumption that humans are cognitively and morally superior to other animals is fundamental to social democracies and legal systems worldwide. It legitimises treating members of other animal species as inferior to humans. The last few decades have seen a growing awareness of this issue, as evidence continues to show that individuals of many other species have rich mental, emotional and social lives. Bringing together leading experts from a range of disciplines, this volume identifies the key barriers to a definition of moral respect that includes nonhuman animals. It sets out to increase concern, empathy and inclusiveness by developing strategies that can be used to protect other animals from exploitation in the wild and from suffering in captivity. The chapters link scientific data with normative and philosophical reflections, offering unique insight into controversial issues around the ethical, political and legal status of other species.

Summary:During the past 100 years the traditional ritual art related to ancestor cults, spirit beliefs and headhunting has withered in the sparsely populated Raja Ampat archipelago. Setting out to establish an inventory of the 'mon' spirit figures, 'korwars' and secret priests' drawings, this book delves into the exploits of naturalists, explorers, colonial administrators and, in particular, missionaries since the beginning of the 19th century. The social and cosmological background of the spirit and ancestor figurines from the archipelago is discussed extensively, with a wealth of fascinating details and new insights. In the process it is shown how the demise and the exodus of the traditional art resulted from complex interactions between indigenous agency, conversion, cargo cult activity, modernization and, last but not least, interventions by administrators. The abundantly illustrated book includes a number of stunning, sacred-secret drawings depicting the spirit world, devised by indigenous priests to serve them in their rituals. Acquired during the 1930s, these drawings were long believed to be lost but have recently been rediscovered. Raymond Corbey is an anthropologist attached to Leiden University, the Netherlands. He also published - 'Headhunters from the Swamps: The Marind Anim of New Guinea as seen by the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart, 1905-1925' (2010), and - 'Of Jars and Gongs: Two keys to Ot Danum Dayak Cosmology' (2016).

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In 1905, the Tilburg Missionaries of the Sacred Heart established their first mission post among the Marind Anim on the southwest coast of New Guinea. These Dutch missionaries were to witness the swift and dramatic demise of an ancient cultural tradition. They recorded its intricate cosmology, complex initiation ceremonies, spectacular art and intensive headhunting in writing and photographs. 'They are veritable human beings, sensible beings, with a delightful language, unwritten literature, and an appreciation for all that is good and beautiful,' one missionary reported. 'How low, how unfathomably low these people here have stooped, [.] disgusting, [.] animals are more estimable,' another wrote. Dismay and fascination, suppression and research went hand in hand. The author was granted permission to publish the remarkable photographs of the Sacred Heart congregation's archive. With its amply documented photographs, Headhunters from the swamps is a fascinating resource for anyone with an interest in the history and culture of New Guinea.

336 pp.; c.730 photographs, 56 b/w drawings, 2 maps, bibliography. Text: English and Indonesian. Leiden, 2011. Hbk. The Asmat people inhabit the densely forested mangrove swamps and the adjoining humid rainforests along the southwest coast of New Guinea. Their spectacular art, traditionally associated with headhunting, warfare, and cults concerning spirits and fertility, experienced a dramatic revival around 1970. As manager (with co-manager Marwan) of the Asmat Art Project, Jac Hoogerbrugge documented this remarkable process in great detail by way of circa c.730 photographs taken during his sojourn among the Asmat between 1969 and 1974. This photographic diary is thus a valuable asset to curators, collectors, anthropologists and indeed anyone who takes an interest in Asmat art, cosmology and culture.
