GIFT: loud, colourful occasions where people can get together with their families, friends and all the friends they’re about to make. The offi cial reason for the gathering might be St Patrick’s Day or America’s only unsolved hijacking investigation (Cooper Caper). The activities on offer may include games of skittles with sheep bones (Naadam) or trying to outrun bulls (Fiesta de San Fermin). But the main event will always be people coming together to celebrate their culture and mark the key periods in their lives, such as harvests, fasts and religious feast days. For this reason, festivals are a living, dancing museum of cultures and traditions in an increasingly globalised world. There is no better place for travellers to understand a country than an event where it proudly celebrates its individuality, whether through music, camel races or monumental food fi ghts. Not only do tribes converge and carry out traditional practices, which they might forego in favour of the TV on a normal night, but everyone feels happier than a long-tailed macaque at Lopburi’s monkey banquet. The upbeat environment is the perfect place to meet both locals and likeminded travellers. To help plan your year’s travel, we’ve organised the festivals in this book by week and by month. However the events are such a multicultural bunch that many of them don’t fi t into the Gregorian calendar. Many are timed according to lunar and lunar-solar calendars, so are ‘moveable feasts’ as far as the solar Gregorian system is concerned. Such festivals take place on slightly different dates each year, often corresponding to the moon’s phases. But we’ve dealt with the conundrum by reviewing each festival in its most logical place and, having celebrated with a go on the roller disco at Glastonbury Festival, we’ve compiled almost 300 festivals. These range from quirky, obscure events to heavyweight happenings such as Kumbh Mela and Day of the Dead. Because several of the world’s biggest shindigs celebrate Mardi Gras, in the lead-up to Lent, we’ve given the best of these their own special section. 000-Front0-Front MMatter-YOF.inddatter-YOF.indd 4 331/03/20081/03/2008 22:30:19:30:19 PPMM The reviews are generally divided into sections such as Level of Participation, in which 1 is the lowest level, where you’ll be a spectator only, and 5 indicates total immersion in the party. At the end of each write-up, the Essentials and Local Attractions sections will help you tackle the festival like an old hand and discover the surrounding area. In most cases, travellers are in luck because the areas take on a whole new beauty during the festivities. There was another conundrum we had to confront before we could hop on an ‘art car’ at Burning Man and zip off into the sunset.

Since the local haciendas were disbanded in 1962 the economy and population o f the village have both declined and the remaining villagers have increased their engagement in the money economy. Nevertheless most contemporary villagers were suspicious o f urban Ecuador which they perceived as being organised exclusively according to trade transactions and saw themselves as belonging to a distinct moral community characterised by participation in exchange relations. Cabalano society was largely ordered according to the logic o f a 'good faith economy* and any breach o f the obligations inherent in exchange relations threatened not just the relationships between participants but the social order o f the Whole village.

  • Inca Archaeoastronomy
    Steven R. Gullberg, Ph.D. Coordinator for Archaeoastronomy College of Professional and Continuing Studies University of Oklahoma Norman, Oklahoma, USA Chair, International Astronomical Union Working Group for Archaeoastronomy and Astronomy in Culture [email protected] © Steven R Gullberg Astronomy was an integral part of Andean mythology and creation, and was at the very heart of the Incas’ religion and agriculture. The Incas proclaimed themselves to be the children of the Sun. They worshipped it and viewed their emperor as being the Sun’s direct descendant. The civilization of the Incas was built upon cultures that had preceded them such as the Huari, Nasca, and Chavin. Their period of dominance, lasting only a century, was far too short to independently develop such advanced forms of religion, social structure, construction, and astronomy. The Incas were adept assimilators of knowledge, both what was available at the time of their empire’s inception, as well as that of the many tribes conquered during their reign. The Emperor, Pachacuti, his son, and grandson successively built the largest empire ever known in the Americas, 4800 km from Chile to Columbia. They established armies in fortresses at distant stations with the infrastructure of roads and storehouses that was necessary to support them. Temples and shrines were constructed as a part of exerting state control over its subjects, as well as pilgrimage centers designed to reinforce the legitimacy of royal rule over the populace. The Incas made solar worship the official religion of their empire. Pachacuti imposed it across the realm, maintaining that he was the son of the Sun and his wife the daughter of the Moon.
