An Anthropological Analysis of Chinese Geomancy
Seller: Orchid Press, Trinity East, NL, Canada
Association Member: IOBA
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Soft Cover. Condition: New. Second edition, revised. This book was first published in 1974 and became a secret classic behind the spread of fengshui into the Western world. Its author, Stephan Feuchtwang, has now revised it and added a new chapter for this new edition, bringing the material up to date. It is a detailed treatment of fengshui as perceived and understood in Chinese manuals and in Chinese practice, but written for a Western readership. Feuchtwang also shows how it is related to landscape painting as well as to Chinese popular religion and ancestor worship. He adds his own understanding of fengshui as an aesthetic practice that is also a kind of divination, based on a model of the Universe. Readers who are fascinated by fengshui and want to know about Chinese cosmology, or who are interested in the anthropology of divination and cosmology, will be richly rewarded by this book. 332 pp., 8 pp. illus. Size: 21 x 14 cm.

Civilisation Recast
Language: English
Published by Cambridge University Press, 2022
ISBN 10: 1108706185 ISBN 13: 9781108706186
Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Civilisation is a debated concept and is often associated with the prerogatives of the 'West', colonial histories, and even emerging global politics. In this book, Stephen Feuchtwang and Michael Rowlands use the examples of Africa and China to provide a new conceptualisation that challenges traditional notions of 'civilisation'.They explain how to understand duration and continuity as long-term processes of transformation. Civilisations are best seen as practices of feeding and hospitality, of rituals and manners of living and dying, of entering the portals into the invisible world that surrounds and encompasses us, of healing and the knowledge of the encompassing universe and its powers, including its ghosts and demons. Civilisations furnish the moral ideals for people to live by and aspire to and they are changed more by the actions of disappointed grassroots and their little traditions than by their ruling authorities. Just as they revitalise and change their civilisations, this book revitalises and changes the way to think about civilisations in the humanities, the historical and the social sciences.

The Anthropology of Religion, Charisma and Ghosts : Chinese Lessons for Adequate Theory
Book 23 of 81: Religion and SocietyLanguage: English
Published by De Gruyter, De Gruyter, 2010
ISBN 10: 3110223554 ISBN 13: 9783110223552
Buch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - It has been said that Chinese government was, until the republican period, government through li. Li is the untranslatable word covering appropriate conduct toward others, from the guest rituals of imperial diplomacy to the hospitality offered to guests in the homes of ordinary people. It also covers the centring of self in relation to the flows and objects in a landscape or a built environment, including the world beyond the spans of human and other lives. It is prevalent under the republican regimes of China and Taiwan in the forming and maintaining of personal relations, in the respect for ancestors, and especially in the continuing rituals of address to gods, of command to demons, and of charity to neglected souls. The concept of religion does not grasp this, neither does the concept of ritual , yet li undoubtedly refers to a figuration of a universe and of place in the world as encompassing as any body of rite and magic or of any religion. Through studies of Chinese gods and ghosts this book challenges theories of religion based on a supreme god and that god s prophets, as well as those like Hinduism based on mythical figures from epics, and offers another conception of humanity and the world, distinct from that conveyed by the rituals of other classical anthropological theories.
