Voices of the People in Nineteenth-Century France
Author: David Hopkin
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107376173
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
This innovative study of the lives of ordinary people – peasants, fishermen, textile workers – in nineteenth-century France demonstrates how folklore collections can be used to shed new light on the socially marginalized. David Hopkin explores the ways in which people used traditional genres such as stories, songs and riddles to highlight problems in their daily lives and give vent to their desires without undermining the two key institutions of their social world – the family and the community. The book addresses recognized problems in social history such as the division of power within the peasant family, the maintenance of communal bonds in competitive environments, and marriage strategies in unequal societies, showing how social and cultural history can be reconnected through the study of individual voices recorded by folklorists. Above all, it reveals how oral culture provided mechanisms for the poor to assert some control over their own destinies.

Revelations
Author: Canadian Centre for Folk Culture Studies
Publisher: Hull, Quebec : Canadian Museum of Civilization
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
The year 2000, a bench-mark date in Christian civilization, prompted researchers to offer a scholarly look at the significance of religion in our civilization, past and present. The religious factor is examined from various scientific viewpoints--ethnological, historical, sociological, archaeological. It is seen that God, or whatever one might prefer to call him, or her, has historically assumed many different shapes and sizes in our civilization and that his cultural presence has impacted significantly upon our culture, art, and way of thinking.

A World History of Women Photographers
Author: Luce Lebart
Publisher: National Geographic Books
ISBN: 050002541X
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
A magnificently illustrated history showcasing the work of three hundred women photographers from all over the world, from the invention of the medium through to the present. Since the invention of the camera, women photographers have been key innovators in the medium and members of all major photography movements. These are artists who never stopped documenting, questioning, and transforming the world, breaking down social boundaries, challenging gender roles, and expressing their imagination and sexuality. To capture the diversity of this global body of work, authors Luce Lebart and Marie Robert have invited 160 international women writers to contribute to this bold and beautifully illustrated manifesto. Spanning from 1850 to the present day, and including images by Helen Levitt, Carrie Mae Weems, Hannah Höch, Sarah Moon, Eve Arnold, and Shirin Neshat, among many others, A World History of Women Photographers is an invaluable work of reference.
