Ethnographic Time. Ritual Ceremony. Worldview ABSTRACT This paper shows a close interrelation between the main ritual traditions of burying human beings with a horse in the Kazakh period. The main point of this paper are the burial mounds with “mustache” and its functions in the ritual traditions. There are real examples of researchers’ works which followed from the Bronze Age, Early Iron Age, monuments of Huns and Turkish periods, and other archeological excavations which became the results of analyses and facts. There were researches on the cults of sun, fire and burials. Gathering all the results and examples, the researchers were able to present the similarity in the system of faith, further in the history Kazakh period. For example, in the tradition of sacrifice, there are also some ritual traditions combined with the Kazakh period. According to the authors’ opinions, this goes back to about tens of centuries. The results of this fully developed and selected the one system of ideology. Saryarka is a historical and geographical area that is rich of monuments since the ancient times. This article is focused on the ritual function of the ritual monuments of different times. The research of complex burial mounds with “mustache” and its functions remain important. Ancient traditional constructions associated with the ritual ceremonies of the cults of horses in close cooperation with the era of post-Kazakh relations. Horse has been regarded as the main driving force of the procedures since ancient times.

Introduction Equus is a dramatic work written by English playwright Peter Shaffer in 1973. Its publication definitely brought an innovative spirit to the contemporary theatre. In fact, in all its aspects the play may be considered completely against the mainstream in a sense – Shaffer is not afraid to deal with taboo topics and openly criticize the provincialism of British society of 1970s. The publication of the play completely "subverted contemporary notions" (Shapiro) of worship, religion and normalcy, which, probably as Shaffer wished, forces people to think about it.

Yet, what this discipline frequently neglects is an examination of how history informs tradition. Local knowledge of history, while it may contradict available historical evidence, is an important indicator of the social, economic, and political pressures a group is experiencing. History investigates processes over time, while tradition is decidedly anachronistic in its function and conceptualization.

Why is it here? Where is it going? Why, for the sake of all that’s holy, do I think that you care about yet another book on mythology? Surely, you must be thinking to yourself, you have no need for one (even if it is free). You have three already. Maybe even more! Here’s the difference: Those books that you have will tell you who Hades was. Maybe it’ll be incredibly in-depth and inform you of every variation of every myth that ever featured him. You’ll know a lot about Hades after you read that incredibly thorough book. And after you read the entries on a dozen or so other death divinities, you’ll have a pretty good idea of their common traits. This book approaches the matter from the complete opposite direction. It tells you about death divinities as a class, and then it casually mentions Hades as a number of examples.

  • The Relationship Between the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas
    THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF THE AMERICAS AND THE HORSE: DECONSTRUCTING A EUROCENTRIC MYTH By Yvette Running Horse Collin A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Indigenous Studies University of Alaska Fairbanks May 2017 © 2017 Yvette Running Horse Collin APPROVED: Raymond Barnhardt, Ph.D., Committee Chair Beth Ginondidoy Leonard, Ph.D., Committee Co-Chair Theresa Arevgaq John, Ph.D., Committee Member Marco A. Oviedo, Ph.D., Committee Member Michael Koskey, Ph.D., Department Chair Todd Sherman, M.F.A., Dean, College of Liberal Arts Michael Castellini, Ph.D., Dean of the Graduate School Abstract This research project seeks to deconstruct the history of the horse in the Americas and its relationship with the Indigenous Peoples of these same lands. Although Western academia admits that the horse originated in the Americas, it claims that the horse became extinct in these continents during the Last Glacial Maximum (between roughly 13,000 and 11,000 years ago). This version of “history” credits Spanish conquistadors and other early European explorers with reintroducing the horse to the Americas and to her Indigenous Peoples. However, many Native Nations state that “they always had the horse” and that they had well established horse cultures long before the arrival of the Spanish. To date, “history” has been written by Western academia to reflect a Eurocentric and colonial paradigm. The traditional knowledge (TK) of the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas, and any information that is contrary to the accepted Western academic view, has been generally disregarded, purposefully excluded, or reconfigured to fit the accepted academic paradigm.

    Horses for Discourses: A critical examination of the horse in Australian culture Isa Menzies A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The Australian National University October 2019. ©Copyright Isa Menzies 2019 This work is the result of original research carried out by the author except where otherwise indicated in the text. ii Thanks and acknowledgements The path to submission of this thesis has been long, and oftentimes, undeniably bumpy. Yet as I reach the end of that road, I can honestly say that undertaking this work has been engaging, revelatory, and incredibly rewarding. And, against all received wisdom, I still find the topic fascinating! For this I owe my gratitude to all those who assisted me with the research—the interviewees, both formal and informal, who shared their unique wisdom and subject knowledge: Leisa Caldwell, Rob Gibbs, Di Thompson, Graeme Worboys, Terry Claven and Martha Sear; the numerous museum curators and staff who undertook the work of the ERIC survey, and shared the richness of their collections with me; and all those who, knowing my interest in horses, reached out with suggested readings, articles, and books. Like many students, my supervisory panel changed throughout the life of the project, and I am grateful to all who assisted in this capacity as the project evolved. I offer particular thanks to those who saw me over the line: Laurajane Smith, your support has been invaluable, and I am so grateful that you took me on when you did. You renewed my intellectual faith in the project, while also respecting my limited capacity to commit to it wholly and solely, as I juggled the thesis with the full-time parenting of a young child, and occasionally overwhelming work contracts.

Very little is known about the early life of Israhel van Meckenem. His family probably came from Meckenheim near Bonn. He might have received his first artistic training with the so- called Master of the Berlin Passion who was active in the Rhine-Meuse region in 1450–70 (and whom Max Geisberg even tried to identify as Van Meckenem’s father). This is supported by 13 copies that Van Meckenem made after prints by this early “Anonymous.” However, the Master E.S. played an even more important role in the formation of the young artist. He worked in the Upper Rhine valley, most likely in Strasbourg, and his importance for the development of the relatively new medium of engraving can hardly be overestimated.
