Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 11. Vol. 3, Book 2 - Rebirth: The Labyrinth & Other Paths to Other WorldsContinuing the thread explored in Cosmic Games, Book Two, Rebirth: The Labyrinth & Other Paths to Other Worlds, is an overview Carl Schuster's investigations of the labyrinth. Carpenter opens by providing instructions on how to draw a labyrinth, noting that the compositional devices are basically universal throughout the world. Distinctions and identifications of different kinds of labyrinths are made, particularly square vs. circular types, and the connection between mazes and labyrinths is explored. A chapter dedicated to incorrectly drawn labyrinths (Bungled Labyrinths & Gapped-circles) exposes bastardized hybrids of the form reduced to geometric patterns. The labyrinth is demonstrated to be connected to three states of being, as pathways between life, death and rebirth.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 10. Vol. 3, Book 1 - Rebirth: Cosmic GamesAs Volumes One and Two establish the premise and breadth of genealogical pattern making, Volume Three provides examples of the complex mythological narratives employed through such designs. Each book examines different categories of these patterns. Book One, Rebirth: Cosmic Games, is Carpenter's review of a variety of the performative aspects of tribal consciousness. He examines continuous-line drawings, noting their musical connotations, and describes a wide range of examples as thresholds between terrestrial and spiritual worlds. Chapters include: Anthropomorphic Gaming Boards, Divination Boards, Gods at Play, Hopscotch, Climbing to Heaven, etc.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 12. Vol. 3, Book 3 - Rebirth: The World Turned Upside DownThe final book of the three volumes, Rebirth: The World Turned Upside Down deals with the mythic notion of inversion as a prelude to rebirth. This book includes perhaps the most subtle and complex arguments of the series, and synthesizes Carpenter's thoughts on the symbolism inherent in anthropomorphic compositions examined in the series. As with the other volumes, the initial sources are derived from visual data, lectures and papers written by Carl Schuster, although Carpenter presents the material with succinct clarity. Analyzing Paleolithic, Polynesian, Arctic and other inverted figures, the book posits that they depict female lineage, incorporating many of the concepts expressed throughout the prior volumes. The book concludes with appendices on Bi-lobed pendants, as well as the Notes, Sources and Bibliography relevant to Volume Three, and acknowledgments of other contributors to this exhaustive work.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 7. Vol. 2, Book 3 - Family Tree: Robes, Megaliths & Compartmented DesignsThe seventh book in the series, Family Tree: Robes, Megaliths & Compartmented Designs, continues the discussion on robes begun in the preceding volume, focusing largely upon compartmented designs.The primary source is an unpublished manuscript written by Carl Schuster in 1958, which Carpenter expands into other chapters, to include additional cultures and epochs. Examples offered in this book range from Paleolithic to modern times, from Wales to Patagonia, with emphasis on Australian, Chaco, and Northwest Coast robe motifs. Carpenter compares them to Megalith carvings as prototypes for robe designs, or in reverse, evidence of their recorded continuity.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 8. Vol. 2, Book 4 - Family Tree: Pebbles from North & South AmericaIn Family Tree: Pebbles from North & South America, Carpenter looks more closely at the engraved pebbles and stele introduced earlier, closely analyzing the record of engraved stones across the Americas. Carl Schuster photographed incised stones on five continents, noting how body-designs, garment-designs & pebble-designs often employed the same tools & techniques. Carpenter argues that Schuster recognized in these examples representations of ancestral spirits and tribal lineage. As such, for Carpenter, art shares with language a capacity for cultural transmission, and is a storage system for the collective experience of the tribe. …

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 5. Vol. 2, Book 1 - Family Tree: Stacked Ancestors, Y-Posts & Heavenly LaddersFamily Tree: Stacked Ancestors, Y-Posts & Heavenly Ladders is the first book of five in Volume Two. This series reorganizes, under new headings, the data outlined in Volume One. Carpenter's presentation deals with the origin of the iconography, stressing design as a cultural document, and argues in favor of Schuster's emphasis on ephemeral materials over archeological evidence. Carpenter introduces the concept of family trees, citing their manifestations in tree worship and sacrificial posts, as representative of genealogy. He examines Y-posts and Y-staffs, double-headed anthropomorphic figures and vessels, shaved sticks, stacked ancestors and heavenly ladders.…
