VAN BOCKHAVEN Vicky - GRYSEELS Guido
Note Libraio: Paperback, colour & b/w ill. The Royal Museum for Central Africa enjoys international renown in the scientific world thanks to its exceptional collections, although only less than 5 per cent of these vast collections can be seen in the public galleries of the Museum. Second volume of the series of publications, 'Collections of the RMCA', this book offers everyone the pleasure of admiring the collections kept in the reserves of the Museum by presenting a selection of remarkable specimens of headdresses. Richly illustrated, this book reveals the sumptuous forms, materials and colours of these headdresses, while offering insight into the conservation work and research carried out at the RMCA. |

VAN DYKE Kristina
Descrizione libro: Yale University Press, United States, 2008. Hardback. 305 x 229 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Bamana masks and headdresses, Lega ivories, Dogon sculpture, and Benue bronzes are among the many exquisite African artefacts found in the renowned Menil Collection. This stunning book, the first comprehensive catalogue on the de Menils' collection of African art, features 120 of the museum's finest pieces.An essay by scholar Kristina Van Dyke discusses the formation of the collection, which was inspired in part by its relationship to modernist works and by the couple's interest in human rights. This insightful text also explains how the de Menils' visionary spirit was influenced by African art and places those objects within the context of the whole of the de Menils' collection, in which works from ancient, Byzantine, medieval, modern, Oceanic, and Native American cultures speak to the universal struggle for human understanding. Entries for the selected works were written by leading scholars in the field and are grouped into section based on regions. |

VANSINA Jan
Nota dell'Editore: Questo volume di Jan Vansina è il primo studio sistematico sulle tradizioni orali che si pubblica in Italia. Basato su sei anni di ricerche sul terreno in Africa, questo saggio si propone di rivalutare le tradizioni orali come fonte storica di fondamentale importanza per lo studio delle società prive di scrittura, o nelle quali scarso sviluppo ha - ancora oggi - la tradizione scritta. (...) E' un'opera di grande utilità non solo per gli storici, ma anche per ogni ricercatore sul terreno, sia esso etnologo o antropologo, o studioso delle tradizioni popolari. |
