Paperback. Condition: New. Explores the dynamics of African masquerades and mask performances on the continent, linking performative expressions to societal characteristics.What is the meaning of masks and masquerades in African traditions and how can we understand their role in rituals and performances? Why do we find masks in some African regions and not in others, and what does this 'mask habitat' say about the general dynamics of masquerades in Africa? Though masks are among the most famous art icons of Africa, exploration of their uses and the way in which they articulate social characteristics of African societies has been underexamined. This book takes an anthropological perspective on the phenomenon of masquerades on the African continent to show how mask rituals are an integral part of African indigenous religions and societies, and are informed by and linked to specific types of social and ecological conditions. Having established the commonalities of mask rituals and a mask typology, the authors look at the varieties of mask performances and the types of rituals in which masks function in rites of passage and in rituals of gender, power, and identity. The following chapters focus on different types of rituals featuring masks, from initiation and death ceremonies to secrecy, kingship, law and war. With its broad examination of the use of masks on the continent, from Angola to Burkina Faso, Cameroon, DRC, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Mali, Nigeria, Senegal, this well illustrated book will stand as an authoritative study of the use of masks, of interest not only to those in African Studies but to anthropologists and ethnographers worldwide.…

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen; Vergilbt / ausgeblichen. Columns over onderwerpen uit het recht, opgetekend door de advocaat-generaal van de Hoge Raad.

Condition: Fair. First Edition. "God houdt niet van rechters". Met deze provocerende titel zet oud-advocaat-generaal van de Hoge Raad de toon voor zijn nieuwste boek. Voor de '?minence grise' in zijn vakgebied ligt het voorlopige eindresultaat van zijn observaties en inzichten in deze maatschappij tussen wanhoop en berusting, waarbij ook de twijfel een grote rol speelt. Twijfel over alles waarvan men nu juist dacht dat het 'ongetwijfeld' goed was. God houdt niet van rechters bevat een aantal sterk autobiografische bespiegelingen. Daarnaast richt Jan Leijten, op zijn subtiele en charmante wijze, de blik op historische en literaire figuren, op actuele vraagstukken en gangbare denkwijzen. Soms meedogenloos kritisch, soms met liefdevolle passie, maar altijd vanuit een humane instelling.…
