hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

hardcover w/dj. Condition: Sehr gut. Auflage: First U.K. Edition. 192 Seiten Very good, clean copy. - The human body is a living mirror held out to the world. Nude, masked, painted, or adomed, it has the power to attract, charm, captivate, frighten, or seduce. Each civiliza- tion and culture has found its own unique ways of decorating, and thus celebrating, the human form. - - In his introduction to this endlessly fas- cinating volume, André Virel traces the his- torical, sociological, mythological, and psychological significance of adomment, with particular emphasis on the mask as a means of camouflage or transformation. He covers the four major themes: seduction, threat, caste, and ritual. Using examples from the four continents, with special atten- tion to Africa and New Guinea, Virel shows us the seductive powers of tattooing and body painting; the aggressive potential of masks; the hierarchical nature of costume, which is associated with class conscious- ness; and the elemental origins of scarifi- cation. His wide-ranging text includes a discussion of African tribal rituals, the Egyp- tian sphinx, the masks of Carnival and Mardi Gras, and the famous story of the Man in the Iron Mask. - - Virel's interest in primitive peoples began twenty-five years ago. After an ethnographic expedition to Guinea, he ob- tained degrees in anthropology and neuro- physiology from the Sorbonne. He is the author of numerous books and articles on psychology, mythology, and psychother- apy, and is a member of the Faculté des Sciences in Paris. - - Charles and Josette Lenars have traveled the world over in their photo- graphic quest for traditional arts, religions, folk customs, and archaeological sites of vanished civilizations. Their photo essays have appeared in Réalités, Connaissance des Arts, and elsewhere. - - This volume, with its wealth of striking illustrations, also contains a bibliography and an index. - - 212 illustrations, including 158 pages in full color - ISBN 9780450048197 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 1240.

Couverture rigide. Condition: Comme neuf. Dust Jacket Condition: Comme neuf. 1ère Édition. Paris 2004. 1 Volume/1. -- NEUF -- Reliure éditeur cartonnée sous jaquette illustrée . Format in-4°'' carré'' ( 27,7 x 27,7 cm )( 2310 gr ). ------- 298 pages très illustrées . *********** '' Les photographies de cet ouvrage sont le fruit de nombreux voyages et de séjours dans toutes les contrées de la Nouvelle-Guinée, qu'il s'agisse de sa partie occidentale, appelée Irian Jaya, aujourd'hui province de la république d'Indonésie, ou de sa partie orientale, appelée Nouvelle-Guinée-Papouasie, nation-état indépendante depuis 1975. Ces reportages ont été réalisés, par Josette et Charles Lenars entre 1966 et 1992. Or, si dans les années soixante, les peuples de Nouvelle-Guinée avaient maintenu vivaces leurs riches traditions de décorations cérémonielles, à partir de la décade suivante, leur style de vie s'est définitivement transformé sous la pression de la civilisation industrielle. C'est dire l'importance des documents photographiques présentés ici. Aujourd'hui, ces traditions indigènes survivent çà et là, à travers l'art de la décoration corporelle, à l'occasion de fêtes, thème principal du présent livre. Ce dernier, commenté par les ethnographes Andrew Strathern et Pamela J. Stewart, est conçu comme un acte de mémoire et un hommage à ces peuples et à leur art, si fécond par son exubérance, son imagination et sa richesse de sens. Les photographies de Charles et Josette Lenars fournissent un témoignage frappant de la créativité culturelle des divers peuples de Nouvelle-Guinée, peuples profondément intégrés à leur environnement, qui ont tiré de ses couleurs vives, à travers leur art corporel, un moyen d'expression de leur identité perçue dans la terre et l'eau. Ainsi, l'amour de la décoration des Néo-Guinéens est évident dans leur participation enthousiaste à des célébrations locales, régionales et nationales contemporaines qu'elles soient de caractère local, politique ou à destination des touristes en visite, elles continuent à exprimer leur propre valeur. Leurs étonnantes décorations corporelles sont marquées par l'emploi stylisé d'éléments qu'on pourrait appeler " naturels ", la flore et la faune de leur univers : feuilles, écorces, mousses, pigments de la terre, insectes, peaux de serpent, fourrures d'animaux, plumes d'oiseaux, os, toute une variété de coquillages. La décoration n'est pas simplement une expression de leur participation esthétique à la " nature ", mais culturellement un moyen de communiquer des messages sur le monde, sur la société elle-même. Des messages sur les fantômes et les esprits, sur l'attrait des corps, sur le pouvoir et le statut social, sur le rôle des femmes et des hommes, sur le fait d'être membre d'un groupe, sur les alliances, les hostilités, et sur les mouvements des initiés d'une étape de (existence à une autre, y compris le mouvement de la vie vers la mort, considéré comme transmutation à l'état d'esprit. Leur relation étroite avec l'écosystème apparaît également à travers les tableaux photographiques de la nature sauvage, sa faune et sa flore encore en grande partie intactes. '' **********.…
