Tattooed with Taboos by Chaoba Phuritshabam,Shreema Ningombam,Soibam Haripriya Pdf

This anthology of poems by Chaoba Phuritshabam, Shreema Ningombam and Soibam Haripriya titled 'Tattooed with Taboos' speaks of the specific angst of the times. The poets use the personal as a tool to document the changing frames of society and its practices. Thematically divided into three sections'Tattooed with Taboos', 'Angst for Homeland' and 'Love and Longingness' the anthology is an articulation of the desire to trespass spaces denied to women in the personal and the public. Accepted symbols of power are questioned through an exploration of the self. As the title of the anthology suggest there is a play on having to tread the tightrope between the regime of taboos and the equally opposing move towards deification. One of the first ways in which the attempt has been made is through detachment of morality from sexuality. The second section depicts the irony of the homelandthe flux of an inability place this land called home in a stable emotional paradigm. The last section takes up love as disembodied, standing alone connected neither to a person nor an object, nor to the memory of anything tangible. The anthology captures through the various themes a non-linear chronology of desires.

Visualizing Theory by Lucien Taylor Pdf

It contains contributions from anthropologists, from cultural, literary and film critics and from image makers themselves. Reclaiming visual anthropology as a space for the critical representation of visual culture from the naive realist and exoticist inclinations that have beleaguered practitioners' efforts to date, Visualizing Theory is a major intervention into this growing field.

Crafting the Word by Thingnam Anjulika Samom, (ed.) Pdf

Manipur has a rich tradition of folk and oral narratives, as well as written texts dating from as early as in 8th Century AD. It was however only in the second half of the twentieth century that women began writing and publishing their works. Today, women’s writing forms a vibrant part of Manipuri literature, and their voices are amplified through their coming together as an all-woman literary group. Put together in discussions and workshops by Thingnam Anjulika Samom, Crafting the Word captures a region steeped in conservative patriarchy and at the centre of an armed conflict. It is also a place, however, where women’s activism has been at the forefront of peace-making and where their contributions in informal commerce and trade hold together the economy of daily life.

The Tattooed Lady by Amelia Klem Osterud Pdf

Living in a time when it was scandalous even to show a bit of ankle, a small number of courageous women covered their bodies in tattoos and traveled the country, performing nearly nude on carnival stages. These gutsy women spun amazing stories for captivated audiences about abductions and forced tattooing at the hands of savages, but little has been shared of their real lives. Though they spawned a cultural movement—almost a quarter of Americans now have tattoos—these women have largely faded into history. The Tattooed Lady uncovers the true stories behind these women, bringing them out of the sideshow realm and into their working class realities. Combining thorough research with more than a hundred historical photos, this updated second edition explores tattoo origins, women's history, circus lore, and includes even more personal and professional details from modern tattooed ladies. A fascinating read, The Tattooed Lady pays tribute to a group of unique and amazing women whose legacy lives on.

Inked: Tattoos and Body Art around the World [2 volumes] by Margo DeMello Pdf

In recent decades, tattoos have gone from being a subculture curiosity in Western culture to mainstream and commonplace. This two-volume set provides broad coverage of tattooing and body art in the United States today as well as around the world and throughout human history. In the 1960s, tattooing was illegal in many parts of the United States. Today, tattooing is fully ingrained in mainstream culture and is estimated to be a multi-billion-dollar industry. This exhaustive work contains approximately 400 entries on tattooing, providing historical information that enables readers to fully understand the methods employed, the meanings of, and the motivations behind tattooing—one of the most ancient ways humans mark themselves. The encyclopedia covers all important aspects of the topic of tattooing: the major types of tattooing, the cultural groups associated with tattooing, the regions of the world where tattooing has been performed, the origins of modern tattooing in prehistory, and the meaning of each society's use of tattoos. Major historical and contemporary figures associated with tattooing—including tattooists, tattooed people, and tattoo promoters—receive due attention for their contributions. The entries and sidebars also address the sociological movements involved with tattooing; the organizations; the media dedicated to tattooing, such as television shows, movies, magazines, websites, and books; and the popular conventions, carnivals, and fairs that have showcased tattooing.

Writing Lives Rewriting Times Mapping Womens Responses from South Asia by Seetha Vijayakumar Jyothy C R Editors Pdf

Women's writing from South Asia is incredibly diverse; it maps the geographical, cultural, and social hybridity of their respective countries.

'Writing Lives, Rewriting Times: Mapping Women's Responses from South Asia' has ten essays on writers such as Jamila Hashmi, Amrita Pritam, Shashi Deshpande, Jhumpa Lahiri, Tehmina Durrani, Ambai, K R Meera, Sujatha Gidla, Chaoba Phuritshabam, Shreema Ningobam, and Soibam Haripriya. The nature of homosexual desire in the film Margharita with a straw, as well as the role of food as an emotional anchor for diasporic communities in women's food memoirs such as Climbing the Mango Trees: A Memoir of a Childhood in India, Tiffin, and Love, Loss, and What We Ate: A Memoir, are also explored in this volume.

Tattooed Bodies by James Martell,Erik Larsen Pdf

The essays collected in Tattooed Bodies draw on a range of theoretical paradigms and empirical knowledge to investigate tattoos, tattooing, and our complex relations with marks on skin. Engaging with diverse disciplinary perspectives in art history, continental philosophy, media studies, psychoanalysis, critical theory, literary studies, biopolitics, and cultural anthropology, the volume reflects the sheer diversity of meanings attributed to tattoos throughout history and across cultures. Essays explore conceptualizations of tattoos and tattooing in Derrida, Deleuze and Guattari, Lacan, Agamben, and Jean-Luc Nancy, while utilizing theoretical perspectives to interpret tattoos in literary works by Melville, Beckett, Kafka, Genet, and Jeff VanderMeer, among others. Tattooed Bodies prompts readers to explore a few significant questions: Are tattoos unique phenomena or an art medium in need of special theoretical exploration? If so, what conceptual paradigms and theories might best shape our understanding of tattoos and their complex ubiquity in world cultures and histories?

A World of Popular Entertainments by Gillian Arrighi,Victor Emeljanow Pdf

This groundbreaking volume of critical essays about popular entertainments brings together the work of eighteen established, emerging, and independent scholars with backgrounds in Archives, Theatre and Performance, Music, and Historical Studies, currently working across five continents. The first of its kind to examine popular entertainments from a global and multi-disciplinary perspective, this collection examines a broad cross-section of historical and contemporary popular entertainment forms from Australia, England, Japan, North America, and South Africa, and considers their social, cultural and political significance. Despite the vibrant, complex, and ubiquitous nature of popular entertainments, the field has suffered from a lack of sustained academic attention. Nevertheless, popular entertainments have a global reach and a transnational significance at odds with the fact that the meaning and definition of both ‘popular’ and ‘entertainment’ remain widely contested. Since the late-nineteenth century, class-based prejudices in Western culture have championed the superiority of art and literature over the dubious and fleeting pleasures of ‘entertainment.’ Similarly, the term ‘popular’ has carried pejorative connotations, indicating something common and outside the conventional and highbrow productions of the purpose-built theatre house or concert hall. Irrespective of whether ‘popular’ is code for a cultural product with a folk origin, or a term indicating the mass appeal of a cultural product, this volume’s re-assessment of popular entertainments from a global perspective is timely. The performance research embodied in this volume was first discussed at A World of Popular Entertainments International Conference (University of Newcastle, Australia, 2009) in response to a multi-disciplinary call for scholars to explore a variety of topics relevant to the study of popular entertainments.
