‎Stonehenge Complete‎

‎Thames And Hudson 1987. Book. Fine. Trade Paperback. 4to - over 9�" - 12" tall. Near-new copy. NO remainder marks or clippings. Tight spine bright clippings. Very-nicely illustrated throughout. NO writing marks or tears inside book. 296 pages. Over-sized book. This is a terrific book about Stonehenge! Mr. Chippindale has created a wonderfully informative and readable book about one of the most famous archaeological monuments in the world. This book takes the famous quote from Jacquetta Hawkes "Every age has the Stonehenge it deserves and - desires" and illustrates it by giving an overview of all the various paradigms that have been used to explain Stonehenge. Instead of giving the reader dreadfully boring and mind-numbing details about Stonehenge and the research into it he gives us a brief description of what is physically there at Stonehenge then he outlines what each succesive era has thought of Stonehenge since its "re-descovery" in the 12th century A.D. All the theories from Geoffrey of Monmouth and Merlin to the current fad of UFOs and extraterrestrials are explored. Mr. Chippindale lists sources so that if you are interested in any particular theoretical perspective you are welcome to explore further. Mr. Chippindale is a well-respected archaeologist and the editor of one of the pre-eminent archaeological journals "Antiquity". He does state that he firmly is in the camp of the archaeologist as far as explaining the origin and history of Stonehenge. However that does not prevent him from presenting many of the other competing paradigms of Stonehenge's origin. The book is richly illustrated throughout with photographs going back over 100 years plus drawings and paintings that date back at least to the 16th century. The paintings of Stonehenge also help illustrate what the artist thought of this monument. It was also quite fascinating to read about the various ideas for "preserving Stonehenge" over the last 150 years. There have been many different ideas about how this monument should be presented and even now there is controversy about the way Stonehenge is presented to the public. In this book you get to meet many interesting characters who left their mark on Stonehenge and its interpretation from John Aubrey William Cunnington Inigo Jones Colin Renfrew to modern new age researchers. They and their concepts are all presented here. I strongly recommend this book as a start for anyone interested in learning more about Stonehenge. It is written with a sense of humor and in a very readable style. You can then branch out to read more in-depth studies of the various theories and paradigms that you are interested in.

‎Du folklore à l'ethnologie.‎

‎P., Editions de la Maison des sciences de l'homme, 2009, gr. in-8°, xix-403 pp, biblio, broché, couv. illustrée, bon état‎

‎30 études érudites. — Le passage des études de folklore à l'ethnologie en France s'est fait dans la période troublée qui va du Front populaire à la Libération. Le folklore scientifique se construit de manière ambivalente, dans le cadre d'une politique culturelle qui fait la part belle aux traditions régionales : à la fois ouverte sur la modernité, et fascinée par un passé volontiers idéalisé. Avec l'avènement du régime de Vichy, le folklore devient l'instrument de la politique culturelle du maréchal Pétain et de sa Révolution nationale. Mais, en même temps, de vastes enquêtes scientifiques, extensives et collectives voient le jour. Cet ouvrage, qui fait suite à un colloque international tenu en 2003 au musée national des Arts et Traditions populaires (MNATP), apporte une réponse collective à des questions restées longtemps floues, voire taboues : comment apprécier les activités du MNATP, créé en 1937, et celles de son directeur, Georges Henri Rivière, sous le régime de Vichy ? Quelles continuités, quelles ruptures apparaissent entre la période du Front populaire et Vichy ? Jusqu'où les folkloristes se sont-ils compromis ? Une nouvelle discipline était-elle déjà en germe ou le folklorisme sombrait-il totalement dans l'exaltation passéiste du monde paysan ? ...‎

In questa raccolta di centoquaranta adagi, proverbi, modi di dire, aforismi e curiosità legati alla cultura toscana, l'autore ci insegna l'origine, spesso sorprendente, delle espressioni tipicamente fiorentine ("reggere il moccolo" o "essere ridotti al lumicino") e di altre locuzioni, ormai di uso comune, che risalgono all'antichità o al Medioevo.
