Condition: Neu. Masterpieces from the Collections of the Museum of World Cultures Frankfurt/Main. Edited by Achim Sibeth. Photography by Stephan Beckers. Translation: Wendy Wallis. Published in conjunction with the correspondent Exhibition, October 31, 2009 - October 31, 2010. Cultures contribute to the richness of this world through their uniqueness and variety - as do their material products. This is reflected in the ethnographic collections from Africa, the Americas, Southeast Asia, Oceania and East Asia at the Museum of World Cultures in Frankfurt am Main. Using exceptional photographs, 130 works are presented from a total of approximately 67,000 objects in the museum?s collection. Based on their own individual and subjective points of view, the authors have selected particularly unusual 'ethnographica,' everyday objects or ritual items from an abundance of mostly similar objects made by indigenous societies. The objects in this volume are not only elucidated in their ethnological contexts, but are simultaneously described and interpreted as works of art. They are purposefully represented here as products of indigenous aesthetics and indigenous creative work to guide the attention of Western viewers to the artistic qualities of ethnographica. In order to better understand these works of art, the authors question the environment in which a work was created and which ideas about color, form, symmetry, balance, etc., might have influenced their artists. The common goal is to present what it is about these works that are exceptional, elaborate, other, perfect or in fact imperfect, harmonious or disturbing. However, the significance of an object is not invariably determined by its original heritage and purpose. Ideas and thoughts associated with an object also alter with a change of viewers and owners. Consequently, the effect of a work of art can only be comprehended within the analysis of aesthetic ideas and a prior knowledge by its respective viewers. Here, the various aesthetic concepts of indigenous and Western societies collide and ideally will lead to reactions that mediate between the differing perspectives. 323 Seiten mit 210 Farbabb., gebunden (Museum der Weltkulturen/Wasmuth Verlag 2009).

188 Seiten. Mit zahlreichen meist farbigen Abbildungen. Farbig illustrierte Originalborschur. Guts Exemplar ! 28x21 cm * Das Volk der Batak wird in sechs Volksgruppen gegliedert, deren ursprüngliches Siedlungsgebiet auf Samosir, der Insel im Tobasee, liegt. Die größte Gruppe sind die Toba, die um die südliche Hälfte des Tobasees und auf Samosir siedeln. Südlich folgen die Angkola, die mit den Mandailing weiter südlich bis zur Grenze von Westsumatra zusammengefasst werden können. Die beiden letztgenannten Gruppen sind mehrheitlich Muslime und haben viele Traditionen aufgegeben, alle anderen Batak sind überwiegend christianisiert und haben viele alte Bräuche bewahrt. Die Karo leben nördlich des Sees im Hochland von Kabanjahe und Berastagi. Im Osten des Tobasees leben die Simalungun um Pematang Siantar. Die Pakpak, die auch Dairi genannt werden, siedeln im Nordwesten und Westen des Sees um Sidikalang. Im Toba-Hochland leben insgesamt etwa 4,9 Millionen der insgesamt 6 Millionen Batak (Zensus 2000). Aus wirtschaftlichen Gründen ziehen jedoch immer mehr in die Hauptstadt von Nordsumatra, Medan, wo bereits etwa 20.000 bis 30.000 Batak leben. Angehörige des Volkes der Batak leben auch in Jakarta und in anderen Städten Sumatras und Javas. Über die Herkunft der Batak sind verschiedene Theorien im Umlauf. Eine besagt, dass die Batak vermutlich in mehreren Einwanderungsschüben aus den Berggegenden Thailands und Birmas kamen und von dort zunächst die Westküste Sumatras erreichten. Linguistische Hinweise scheinen andererseits darauf hinzudeuten, dass die ersten austronesisch sprechenden Volksgruppen vor etwa 2.500 Jahren von Taiwan und den Philippinen über Borneo und Java Sumatra erreichten. Die Batak zogen sich jedenfalls irgendwann in das Toba-Hochland zurück und lebten dort lange weitgehend isoliert von den Küstenbewohnern. Obwohl schon Marco Polo bei seiner Vorbeifahrt an Sumatra 1292 von Gerüchten über menschenfressende Bergvölker, die er Batta nennt, berichtet, bereisten erst 1824 die ersten Europäer das Land der Batak. Die Batak kamen, verglichen mit den anderen Völkern Indonesiens, erst spät unter den Einfluss der holländischen Kolonialherrschaft. Erst 1907, mit dem Tod des letzten, charismatischen Priesterkönigs der Batak, Sisingamangaraja XII., der einen langjährigen Guerilla-Krieg gegen die Holländer geführt hatte, erlangten die Niederländer die vollständige Kontrolle über die Batak.
