"The Vulture Maiden" from Wilhelmine von Hillern. German actress and novelist (1836-1916).
The Alps have exerted a hold over the German cultural imagination throughout the modern period, enthralling writers, artists, philosophers, scientists, and tourists alike. The Draw of the Alps interrogates the dynamics of this fascination. Though philosophical and aesthetic responses to Alpine space have shifted over time, the Alps continue to captivate at an individual and collective level. This has resulted in myriad cultural engagements with Alpine space, as this interdisciplinary volume attests. Literature, photography, and philosophy continue to engage with the Alps as a place in which humans pursue their cognitive and aesthetic limits. At the same time, individuals engage physically with the alpine environment, whether as visitors through the well-established leisure industry, as enthusiasts of extreme sports, or as residents who feel the acute end of social and environmental change. Taking a transnational view of Alpine space, the volume demonstrates that the Alps are not geographically peripheral to the nation-state but are a vibrant locus of modern cultural production. As The Draw of the Alps attests, the Alps are nothing less than a crucible in which understandings of what it means to be human have been forged.
THE WINGS OF IERE is a collection of stories and songs, adapted from the Amerindian oral tradition and re-written to appeal to readers of all ages. Caribbean poetry, modern rap, traditional dances, interpretive dances have all been interwoven and presented in this book just the way the stories have been told by Doris Harper-Wills live on stage with audience participation. BOOK 1 AMERINDIAN LEGENDS are adaptations from oral tradition stories. These legends have been tweaked, elaborated, re-invented and re-mixed by the author during her educational workshops with schoolchildren across the continents. BOOK 2 AMERINDIAN MELODIES contains tunes from the oral tradition filled with original lyrics by the author - a mnemonic to facilitate learning about the past. Maps and photographs are also included.
Students of the Poetic Edda have long ignored a seemingly unassuming, yet most important mythical character: Namely the mead-offering Maiden that appears at the heart of many a myth and heroic legend. This study shows how the Maiden with the Mead appears at the climax of a ritual structure within the myths - a structure that clearly is based on Pagan initiation rituals.
