  • Der November
    An den Bäumen welk und matt, schwebt das letzte Laub zur Neige, niedertaumelt Blatt für Blatt und verhüllt die Waldessteige. Der November Blick in die Tiefe –Rückverbindung – nach vorne schauen Zeit Stirb und werde Windmond – Nebelmond – Schlachtmond - Schneemond Der NOVEMBER ist der elfte Monat im gregorianischen Kalender und hat 30 Tage. Im julianischen Kalender war er der neunte Monat des Jahres, deswegen wurde er November genannt (lat. novem = neun). Alte Namen für den November sind Wintermonat, Neblung, Nebelmond, da die Nebel dicht über dem Land hängen. Schlachtmonat oder Schlachtmond, weil in ihm einst das Schlachten der Schweine für den Wintervorrat üblich war. Früher hieß es, dass im November Wotan mit seinem Heer der verstorbenen Seelen über den Himmel tobt und Frost, Kälte, Eis und Schnee mit sich bringt und die Erde erstarren lässt. Das Sterben lädt uns ein sich mit seinem Mysterium des Lebens zu befassen. Seite 1 von 10 November 2013 Der November ist ein Monat der Einkehr, Besinnung, Innenschau. Des Gedankens an die Verstorbenen und Gefallenen. Er zählt zu den Geisterstunden des Jahres und lädt ein seine persönlichen Schattenthemen zu betrachten und sich damit auseinanderzusetzen. So haben wir die Möglichkeit Altes und Vergangenes in uns „Sterben“ zu lassen, um Neuem Platz zu machen. Wir haben die Möglichkeit uns tief in unserem Inneren zu wandeln und uns neu auszurichten, Neues erfahren zu können – alles in Verbindung und Anbindung an und mit der göttlichen Quelle in uns. Zu Asche werde ich, in die Tiefe stesteigeige ich hinab, aus der Asche erhebe ich mich in das Licht des neuenneuen Morgens. Besondere Tage im November: 01.

Plik o rozmiarze 64.96 KB w języku polskim 2. Tworzenie wypowiedzi. Uczeń: 5) organizuje proste działania o charakterze kulturalnym (spotkanie z twórcą kultury, przedsięwzięcie artystyczne, prezentacja własnych zainteresowań, tradycji lokalnej lub regionalnej); 6) określa swoje zainteresowania, potrzeby i preferencje kulturalne oraz uzasadnia je w dyskusji. Nauczysz się definiować tradycję; przedstawiać przykłady polskich tradycji; przedstawiać historię i korzene Święta Wszystkich Świętych i Dnia Zmarłych w Polsce i w innych regionach; porównywać i analizować teksty kultury. Tradycja i obyczaje Tradycja, obyczaje i zwyczaje są jednym z ważniejszych elementów budowania historii i tożsamości regionu/państwa. Jest tym, co nas odróżnia. Wg Słownika etnologicznego tradycja to: dobra kulturowe przekazywane w czasie (również w przestrzeni), przejmowane i wartościowane (...). tradycja jest przekazywana od pokolenia starszego do młodszego, od ustępujących do bezpośrednio po nich następujących (…) Konieczne są co najmniej dwa przekazy dóbr kulturowych, w których uczestniczą trzy generacje, aby móc te dobra uznać za tradycję (...) Główną jej (funkcją– KG) jest wskazana już transmisja, dzięki której społeczeństwa nie muszą już tworzyć wszystkiego od początku i mogą dysponować potencjałem stworzonym przez poprzednie pokolenia. Ponadto tradycja dostarcza systemowi społeczno‐kulturowemu niezbędnej dozy stabilizacji oraz stanowi ważną podstawę integracji, identyfikacji i poczucia wartości własnej grupy (…) Tradycja polega bowiem zarówno na bezrefleksyjnych, jak i refleksyjnych zachowaniach i postawach, a o ich rezultacie decyduje całość procesu kulturowego.

  • Perchtenlauf” in Its Relationship to the Carnivalesque
    Ritual Rebellion and Social Inversion in Alpine Austria: Rethinking the “Perchtenlauf” in its Relationship to the Carnivalesque by David Natko A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts Approved April 2014 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: John Alexander, Chair Daniel Gilfillan Peter Horwath ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2014 ABSTRACT The "Perchtenlauf," a multi-faceted procession of masked participants found in the eastern Alps, has been the subject of considerable discourse and often debate within European ethnology since the mid-19th century. While often viewed from a mythological perspective and characterized as a relic of pre-Christian cult practices, only recently have scholars begun to examine its connection with Carnival. Research of this kind calls for an in-depth analysis of the "Perchtenlauf" that is informed by Bakhtin's theory of the carnivalesque, an aesthetic of festive merriment and the release from social restrictions which is embodied by Carnival traditions. A carnivalesque reading of the "Perchtenlauf" reveals a tradition pregnant with playful ambivalence, celebrations of the lower body, and the inversion of social hierarchies. Past interpretations of the "Perchtenlauf" have often described its alleged supernatural function of driving away the harmful forces of winter, however its carnavalesque elements have definite social functions involving the enjoyment of certain liberties not sanctioned under other circumstances. The current study solidifies the relationship between the "Perchtenlauf" and Carnival using ethnographic, historical, and etymological evidence in an attempt to reframe the discourse on the tradition's form and function in terms of carnivalesque performance. i TABLE OF CONTENTS Page CHAPTER 1 PRELIMINARY REMARKS AND REVIEW OF LITERATURE ....................
