Sinopse

Amazon River Spirituality explores the deep spiritual connection between Amazonian tribes and the river, viewing it as a sacred, life-giving entity rather than just a geographical feature. The book examines indigenous beliefs, practices, and ecological wisdom, revealing how nature deities influence daily life and cosmic understanding. It highlights the unique perspective of these cultures, offering insights into conservation, sustainability, and the interconnectedness of all living things. One intriguing aspect is how the river serves as both a physical lifeline and a spiritual pathway.

 
The book progresses in three parts, beginning with an introduction to the Amazon and its people. It moves on to explore the cosmology and mythology surrounding the river, focusing on nature deities and spirits. Finally, it examines ritual practices and ecological knowledge, demonstrating how spiritual beliefs translate into conservation efforts. The book argues that the spiritual worldview of indigenous tribes is intrinsically linked to the rainforest's ecological health. By combining ethnographic research with ecological insights, Amazon River Spirituality emphasizes the importance of indigenous knowledge for conservation.

In Their Surroundings -...

Yfaat Weiss, Natasha Gordinsky,...

From the second half of the nineteenth century through to World War II, Eastern Europe, especially the territories that formerly made up the Pale of Settlement in the Tsarist Empire, witnessed a Jewish cultural flowering that went hand-in-hand with a multifaceted literary productivity in the Hebrew and Yiddish languages. Accompanied and sometimes directly affected by the dramatic political ruptures of the era, many authors experimented with various modernist poetics in the context of a culturally and literarily closely interwoven milieu. This beautifully illustrated catalogue presents for the first time some of the key figures of the era, including in each case a portrait of the author and a close reading of selected texts, including Yosef Ḥayim Brenner, Leah Goldberg, Moyshe Kulbak, and Deborah Vogel. Of particular interest here is the productive entanglement of cultures and literatures, of cultural contact and transfer, and the significance of space and place for the development of modern Jewish literatures.
