A Little Book of Filipino Riddles by Various Pdf

In this collection of Filipino riddles, editor Frederick Starr shares his firsthand experience collecting over 200 examples from various regions in the Philippines. Starr compares Filipino riddles to those of other cultures, noting their similarity in being a play of wit to describe an object or idea without actually naming it. While some riddles show influence from outside cultures, such as Spanish and religious influences, others are rooted in local customs and conditions. This book is a fascinating and unique look at Filipino culture and language through the lens of riddles.

Frederick Starr by Donald McVicker Pdf

This definitive, detail-packed biography is the first of Frederick Starr (1856-1933), a founding father of American anthropology at the University of Chicago. It presents a major reevaluation of Starr’s place as the missionizer of anthropology, illuminates the consequences of the professionalization of anthropology, and yields a greater understanding of the United States as it moved into a position of global power. Donald McVicker considers Frederick Starr’s colorful life in the context of the times.In many respects Starr’s early career paralleled that of Franz Boas, “the architect of American anthropology.” Nonetheless, as Boas led professional anthropology into the twentieth century in the United States, Starr, the popularizer, increasingly fell behind. Today, if Starr is remembered at all, he is usually described in terms of his intellectual, professional, and ethical failings. Yet his collections, publications, and photographic and paper archives provide a rich set of resources for archaeologists, ethnologists, folklorists, and historians. McVicker argues that Starr’s mission to bring anthropology to the public and enlighten them was as valid a goal during his career as was Boas’s goal to professionalize the field.
