This is actually one of the main reasons why I turned to film."

The absurd, the paradoxal, the humorous are to be found in our body. A daily body decontextualised is not only the reflection of what was there, but is related to a consciousness of disappearance. Articulated behind its normal appearance and recognizable and familiar to us all, it hides a weirdness that yields new sensations and different perceptions.

They choreographed the solo together in search of the beginning of this energy. The accumulation of 1000 white cups that litter the ground proposes an immediate reading of time and space: “Coffee, the first cup of coffee, is the mirror of the hand, the hand that turns the drink; coffee is decryption of the open book of the soul, seer of secrets that the day contains.” Mahmoud Darwich in A Memory to Oblivion Artist/Company HÉLA FATTOUMI | CIE.

In this dance are instances of barely touching, pressure, impact, improbable points of support, movement in which the energy and the solid mass of the bodies become an invitation to share the sensation of this experience. At once desired, galvanized, entwined and rejected – the bodies of the two dancers are shaped through these exchanges, alternating between sensuality and confrontation. Malek Chebelʼs ideas about homosensuality are reflected in this work. The expression has anthropological roots «generally, a Middle Eastern PERFORMANCE DETAILS Arab Dance Platform | SECOND EDITION | 20th – 24th of April 2011 | Beirut, Lebanon Organized by Leymoun- Arab Contemporary Dance Network & Maqamat Dance Theatre point of view, more specifically Arab, in which in the absence of partners of the opposite sex, one carries over to oneʼs peers the excess of sensuality which he cannot otherwise express».

In 1823, Prussia formed eight such parliaments (Assemblies of the estates). They embraced the heads of princely families, representatives of the knightly estate, i.e., the nobility, of towns and rural communities. The election system based on the principle of landownership provided for a majority of the nobility in the assemblies. The competency of the assemblies was restricted to questions of local economy and administration. They also had the right to express their desires on government bills submitted for discussion. They were largely powerless ("advisory") however, could only summoned by the Prussian government, and then they were held in secret. Furthermore, a two-thirds majority was required to pass resolutions. Since the knightly (aristocratic) estate held 278 of the 584 parliamentary votes (the towns estate had 182 and the rural estate 124), nothing could be done against its wishes. http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1840/free-press/index.htm (1 of 3) [23/08/2000 18:15:15] On Freedom of the Press In the 17 years of Frederick William III's rule, parliaments met five times.

Tipit´ı: Journal of the Society for the Anthropol- ogy of Lowland South America is produced by The Berkeley Electronic Press (bepress). http://digitalcommons.trinity.edu/tipiti A Fresh Look at Amazon Indians: Karl von den Steinen and Curt Nimuendaju,´ Giants of Brazilian Anthropology John Hemming Abstract This essay examines two German anthropologists who changed the style of Brazilian anthro- pology. Karl von den Steinen made first contact with eight peoples of the upper Xingu in the 1880s. His anthropological observations were accurate and valuable, and he was the first to describe in- digenous people as individual human beings. Curt Nimuendaju´ also had no formal training, but was on an anthropological or archaeological expedition every year between 1905–1945, produced a prodigious volume of writing, studied shattered tribal remnants as well as newly contacted peo- ples, and was a pioneer in championing indigenous rights. Both were seminal figures in the study of the indigenous peoples of Brazil. Este ensaio examina dois antropologos´ alemaes˜ que mudaram para sempre o estilo da antropologia brasileira. Karl von den Steinen fez os primeiros contatos com oito povos ind´ıgenas do alto Xingu na decada´ de 1880.

When tlie present volume was originally planned it was intended to contain an account of Russian folk- lore in general—of the stories, legends, riddles, pro- verbs, and epic as well as lyric poems, which oral tradition has preserved among the Russian peasantry. But I soon found that the subject was one which, if treated at all in detail, would require more time and space than I had expected. So I thought it best to restrict myself for the present to a part of it only, leaving the rest to be described afterwards. In this first instalment of the work, therefore, I have dealt chiefly, though not exclusively, with the lyric poetry of the peasantry; the next will be mainly devoted to their Popular Tales and their Metrical Romances. In order to render intelligible the songs I have quoted, it has been necessary to give some slight account of the religious ideas attributed to the ancient VI PREFACE. Slavonians and the superstitions current among tlieir descendants, as well as of some of tlie manners and customs of tlie Eussian peasantry, especially with regard to marriages and funerals. But my book can make no pretence to any thing like a satisfactory grappling with the difficult problems—mythological, ethnological, philological, historical—suggested by the study of Slavonic antiquities.
