    Chapter 1 Introduction : Screening indigeneity and nation (2020)

    Details
    ISBN: 9780429424649
    Language: English
    Pages: 1 Online-Ressource (28 p.)
    Keywords: Media studies
    Abstract: This volume draws its inspiration from perspectives that have developed over the last few decades in media anthropology. These include seminal works such as Bourdieu’s (1993 ) analysis of cultural production, Larkin’s (2008 ) study of the impact of media technologies on cultural form and Ginsburg’s (1995a , 2002 ) work on indigenous media. Methodologically, the volume relies heavily on ethnography; each of the contributions is grounded in qualitative research. Most of the chapters are based upon data that their authors collected while doing long-term research. Typically, such research involves building up lasting relationships with one’s interlocutors, learning about their ideas, attitudes and practices by accompanying them in everyday life. Taken together, the various contributions explore how media that is made for audiences deemed indigenous is produced, shared, and viewed or ‘consumed’. The chapters explore the social and political impact of old and new media technologies and media content in relation to the (re)formulation, contestation and (re)defi nition of mediatised representations of indigeneity, and how this bears upon perceptions and conceptualisations of nation in South Asia

    Abstract: Laboya liegt an der Südküste Westsumbas (Ostindonesien), einer Insel, die aufgrund ihrer Lage nie von der Hindu-Kultur beeinflusst worden war. Erst zu Beginn des 20. Jhs. wurden Christentum und Islam auf Sumba eingeführt. Noch heute glauben die Einwohner an den Einfluß der Ahnen. Die Lebenden müssen sie nähren und für sie beten, um ihren Segen zu erhalten. Padu und Nyale bilden die beiden Hauptzeremonien im Jahreskreis dieser Ackerbaukultur (Reis, Mais und Maniok). Padu bedeutet "Bitterkeit", der Oktober steht im Zeichen von Padu und Hala (Hitze), läßt Menschen erkranken, Tier und Pflanze darben. Die Padu-Zerermonie dient der Vertreibung dieser Übel, beschwört das lebensspendende Wasser und erneuert die sozialen Beziehungen. Gleichzeitig dient sie der Vorbereitung von Nyale, der Regenzeremonie im Februar, dem Beginn der Reispflanzung. Das Erscheinen der Nyale-Meereswürmer als Vorboten der kommenden schweren Niederschläge bezeugt den Segen der Ahnen. (Forschungsfilmaufnahmen minderer technischer Qualität). Teil 1 der dreiteiligen DVD-Edition.
    Abstract: Laboya is situated on the southern coast of West Sumba (Eastern Indonesia), an island never introduced to Hindu culture. Not until the beginning of the 20th century did Christianity and then Islam reach the Sumbanese. Even nowadays most people say they believe in Marapu, a term referring to their ancestors. It is the task of the living to nourish and pray to ancestral spirits in order to receive their blessings. Padu and Nyale are the two ceremonies marking the annual agricultural cycle (rice, maize and cassava). Padu means bitterness. October is a month of 'bitterness' and 'heat' (hala) causing people to fall ill, and preventing animals and plants from thriving. The Padu ceremony is to get rid of these ills, to let the life-giving water flow again and to renew social bonds. The Padu ritual also serves to prepare the rain rituals of Nyale which take place in February, when the rice planting season is re-opened. During the Nyale rituals the arrival of Nyale seaworms (announcing heavy rainfall) means the ancestral blessing has been given. (Research footage of low technical quality), Part 1 of a threepart DVD edition.

    Media, Indigeneity and Nation in South Asia (2020)

    Keywords: Media studies
    Abstract: How do videos, movies and documentaries dedicated to indigenous communities transform the media landscape of South Asia? Based on extensive original research, this book examines how in South Asia popular music videos, activist political clips, movies and documentaries about, by and for indigenous communities take on radically new significances. Media, Indigeneity and Nation in South Asia shows how in the portrayal of indigenous groups by both ‘insiders’ and ‘outsiders’ imaginations of indigeneity and nation become increasingly interlinked. Indigenous groups, typically marginal to the nation, are at the same time part of mainstream polities and cultures. Drawing on perspectives from media studies and visual anthropology, this book compares and contrasts the situation in South Asia with indigeneity globally
