Katsina: Commodified and Appropriated Images of Hopi Supernaturals.

UCLA Fowler Museum of Cultural History, 2001. Zena Pearlstone

In an in-depth case study, this volume explores the complexities of the explosion of katsina representations over the past century.  Unlike most other commodified and appropriated African, Asian, and Native American forms, this publication deals with objects that are firmly rooted in the realm of the sacred.  The compromises that must be handled by the Hopi themselves as well as outsiders become considerably more problematic when they entail religious beliefs.

Advertising in the 60s: Turncoats, Traditionalists, and Waste Makers in America's Turbulent Decade

The 1960s provides the backdrop for examining the struggle of advertising during the anti-establishment movement in one of America's most colorful but turbulent decades. Targeted by the counterculture, threatened with regulation, criticized as a "waste maker," and faced with a consumption-weary public, advertising faced one of its most challenging times. Yet, surprisingly, it made advertising history with its unprecedented creativity and innovation during the 60's.

Parman, Susan.  (Anthropology)

            Ruya ve Kültür [Dreams and Culture – translation into Turkish]

          Ankara: Kültür Bakanligi, 2001.

“Parman contends that in order to understand dreams we must first understand the cultural context within which they are expressed.  Certainly we cannot “interpret” a dream without some preliminary grasp of indigenous notions of psychology, cosmology, and epistemology.  Readers are therefore introduced to everything from classical notions of the self to the modern schools of rationalism and psychoanalysis.  This book brilliantly shows the vast shifts in Western presuppositions regarding dreams.”  -- Charles Steward, Choice

The 512 pages of this dictionary contain some 5,000 false “friends” (cognates) between English and Spanish.  These are words that share the same semantic origin and look alike, but their meanings are far apart, such as embarrassed and embarazada (=pregnant).  Gredos published only exceptional investigations in linguistics and literature.  This fascinating tool has utility not just for the linguistically curious but also for those wishing to minimize verbal embarrassments in cross-cultural situations.
