Suckling
Author: Fadwa El Guindi
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429851863
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
A ground-breaking ethnographic study of suckling in the Arabian Gulf , this book reenergises the study of kinship. It analyses the misunderstood and marginalized phenomenon of suckling drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in Qatar over a seven-year period. Fadwa El Guindi situates suckling (often given other names or subsumed under misleading classifications) squarely in the analytical category of kinship, with recognition that kinship is necessarily biological, societal and cultural. The volume takes kinship study beyond origins, nature-culture debates, and social nurturing and relatedness, and challenges claims of deterministic, reductionist formulas. As well as key reading for those involved in milk kinship research, this book is valuable for anthropologists, Middle East scholars and others with an interest in breastfeeding, family and social organisation, and religion.

Suckling at My Mother's Breasts
Author: Ellen Davina Haskell
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 143844382X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
One of Kabbalah's most distinctive images of the feminine divine is that of a motherly, breastfeeding God. Suckling at My Mother's Breasts traces this idea from its origins in ancient rabbinic literature through its flourishing in the medieval classic Sefer ha-Zohar (The Book of Splendor). Taking the position that kabbalistic images provide specific, detailed models for understanding the relationship between God and human beings, Ellen Davina Haskell connects divine nursing theology to Jewish ideals regarding motherhood, breastfeeding, and family life from medieval France and Spain, where Kabbalah originated. Haskell's approach allows for a new evaluation of Kabbalah's feminine divine, one centered on culture and context, rather than gender philosophy or psychoanalysis. As this work demonstrates, the image of the nursing divine is intended to cultivate a direct emotional response to God rooted in nurture, love, and reliance, rather than knowledge, sexuality, or authority.

Publisher: AAPPL
ISBN: 9781904332688
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
Unicorns are unique not just for their startling singular horn but because people carried on believing in them long after dragons, griffins, manticores and a host of other fanciful creatures had been consigned to myth and heraldry. Suckling covers the ancient tales and rumours that began the superstition, the wide-ranging influence of this creature, the early confusion between the mythical unicorn and the rhinoceros, its adoption as a Christian symbol; its use in heraldry, and the value of its horn as powerful medicine.

Faeries of the Celtic Lands
Author: Nigel Suckling
Publisher: Facts Figures & Fun
ISBN: 9781904332749
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
Beliefs about fairies were not exclusive to the Celtic lands. The details of the legends vary in different parts of the world but their essence is the same. What is special about Celtic faerie lore is that it is much more vividly documented that most, and widespread belief in faeries lingered much longer on the European Celtic fringe than in neighbouring cultures. This is a tour of faerie myth and legend, re-telling the key stories from The Tuatha to the lingering beliefs of today, with enlightening, informative commentary.
