Popol Vuh: A Sacred Book of the Maya

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Mayans have long fascinated modern readers with their complex written language, sophisticated mathematics, and advanced astronomy. In Guatemala in 1558, a young Mayan K’iche’ man transcribed what he called a sacred book that “we can no longer see.” This was the Popul Vuh, the Mayans` written account of the creation of the universe, the gods and demi-gods who occupied that universe, and the story of how man was created by them. Furthermore, it traced, generation by generation, the lineage of the Mayan lords down to their imprisonment and torture by the Spanish invaders. Considered the Mayan bible, the Popol Vuh appears here in an authoritative, gorgeously illustrated version by noted Maya anthropologist Victor Montejo, who has captured all the drama and excitement of one of the world’s great creation stories.

Poppy or the Snake? (Who`s Got Game?)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description In this clever riff on Aesop, Poppy feels guilty when he accidentally drives over Snake, and he decides to risk being bitten in order to free the sassy reptile. But smake wants more. This is a sly tale about who gets the last laugh. We, the creators of Who`s Got Game? were inspired by the wonder of Aesop`s Fables -- their vitality, their endless demand for more interpretations. In our versions the original stories are opened up and their moralisitic endings reimagined, the victim might not lose, the timid gets a chance to become strong, the fool can gain insight, the powerful may lose their grip. ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN. More than a play on these beloved fables, Who`s Got Game? is AESOP LIVE! [detailed...]

Popular Cinema in Brazil: 1930-2001

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description The recent international success of films such as Central Station and City of God has stimulated widespread interest in Brazilian film. This study provides insight into the Brazilian films that have most captured the imagination of domestic audiences over the years. This book focuses on individual films in their socio-historical context, drawing on extensive fieldwork in Brazil and Latin America. It argues that Brazilian cinema has almost always been grounded in intrinsically home-grown cultural forms dating back to the nineteenth century, including the Brazilian music hall, the traveling circus, radio shows, carnival, and, later, comedy television. Combining a chronological structure with new research and a lively approach, Popular cinema in Brazil is the ideal introduction to Brazilian cinema. [detailed...]

Description: This book explores the process of popular mobilization in contemporary Mexico through the experience of the country`s most important organization--the teachers` movement. It creates a distinctive perspective on Mexican politics and makes an original contribution to the study of popular, or `social` movements, providing a richly detailed account of its organization, leadership, strategic choices, and factional divisions.

Popular Music in Contemporary France : Authenticity, Politics, Debate (Berg French Studies Series)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description While music lovers from all over the world have tried to recreate the ambience of French cafes by playing music from stars such as Piaf, Trenet and Chevalier, intellectuals, sociologists and policy makers in France havebeen embroiled in passionate debate about just what constitutes `real` French music. In the late 1950s and 1960s a wave of Anglo-American rock `n` roll and pop hit Europe and disrupted French popular music forever. The cherished sounds of the chanson were sidelined, fragmented or merged with pop styles and instrumentation. From this point on, French music and music culture have been splintered into cultural divides - pop culture vs high culture, mass culture vs `authentic` popular culture, national culture vs Americanization. This book investigates the exciting and innovative segmentation of the French music scene and the debates it has spawned. From an analysis of the chanson as national myth, to pop, rap, techno and the State, this… [detailed...]
