Thierry Truffaut antropologoak eta Patxi Beltzaiz argazkilariak, udaberriaren atarian, urte zaharraren eta berriaren arteko igarobidean, iniziazio bidaia batera eramaten gaituzte. Ohitura, jai eta inauteri giroko praktika hauen kodeak aztertzen dituzte, non tradizioak eta sormenak bat egiten duten.

When spirits guard forests, conservation becomes revolution - and liberation grows from the soilIn 2011 Myanmar emerged from what was by some counts the longest ongoing war in the world. Amid the flurry of ceasefires and constitutional reforms, Indigenous communities moved to reterritorialize land that was fiercely contested in the preceding decades of conflict. In southeast Myanmar, the Indigenous people of Karen State, activists, and revolutionaries transformed their war-torn land into the Salween Peace Park - a conservation area that is home not only to endangered species like tigers and gibbons but also to territorial spirits and ancestors.Set in the highlands of the Myanmar-Thai border, Possessed Landscapes introduces a world where land is understood as both spiritually inhabited and politically claimed. Pwakanyaw cosmologies blur boundaries between human and more-than-human ownership, presence, and possession. Anthropologist Tomas Cole's concept of more-than-human political ecology captures the nuanced, playful, and often deeply strategic ways in which local communities negotiate power, land, and identity amid civil war and state violence. Through vibrant ethnography and grounded political analysis, Cole illuminates how Indigenous Karen communities and their allies are defining conservation, autonomy, and peace building on their own terms.A case study in reimagining sovereignty through ecological stewardship, Possessed Landscapes is essential reading for scholars and practitioners in anthropology, environmental humanities, and peace and conflict studies, as well as anyone seeking to understand how revolutionary politics and conservation can be inseparably entwined.

"Dans tout le Pays Basque, chaque année au coeur de l’hiver, alors que beaucoup les croyaient sur le déclin, de très nombreuses traditions reprennent force et vigueur, avec une intensité remarquable.

Este libro e unha viaxe pola riqueza do patrimonio lúdico galego, un patrimonio inmaterial no que o xogo e o xoguete tradicional se presentan como ferramentas de aprendizaxe, expresión e transmisión cultural. Estas paxinas son, por unha banda, un convite a exploracion das dimensions educativas, sociais, emocionais e ambientais tanto das practicas ludicas como dos enredos tradicionais e, por outra, unha proposta de recuperacion e divulgacion en diferentes contextos deste tan rico e suxestivo patrimonio. Partindo de experiencias, investigacions e proxectos concretos, a obra proporciona unha ampla variedade de enfoques que reivindican o valor do xogo e do xoguete como parte esencial da identidade de Galicia e incita, en definitiva, a xogar para lembrar quen somos e para seguirmos sendo parte viva da cultura galega.

África y su amplia diáspora han impuesto, sin duda, una forma de estar en el mundo. En este diccionario a la vez informativo y lúdico (serio, humorístico, emotivo), sus dos autores parten en busca de la energia magnetica del continente. Recorren los hitos de la gran historia (politica, geopolitica, cultural, religiosa) e invocan aquellos que conforman la petite histoire, nacida en cafes, revistas, grupos musicales, cocinas, barrios o modas. Mabanckou y Waberi, profesores en universidades estadounidenses, abordan los temas surgidos en sus frecuentes conversaciones, como sucede entre amigos que comparten recuerdos, reflexiones y saberes, teniendo en cuenta la mitografia que define el pulso de sus paises de origen, tanto como las relaciones que los africanos han establecido en los de adopcion. Desde Fanon a Obama, los cubitos Maggi a los sapeurs, pasando por los tiradores senegaleses o Cheikh Anta Diop, este diccionario se lee a la vez como divertimento y con profundo interes.
