Language: English

Pages: 1 online resource (31 minutes) , 003038

Keywords: Marriage customs and rites ; Social change ; Manners and customs. ; Hebei Sheng (China) Social life and customs. ; Bhutan ; Documentary films.

Abstract: This film outlines the types of marriage exchange practiced in a Chinese village over the last fifty years. Dowry, brideprice and exchange marriages have dominated the marriage market in turn as villagers have responded to changes in economic, political and social conditions. At present, the practice of 'pseudodowry' (indirect exchange) marks the ability of young women to demand large payments of cash from the groom's family, which are used to create prestigious public displays of wedding gifts for the bride. A historical overview links the personal life of Mao Zedong to issues of parental authority in arranging marriages.

Details

Language: English

Pages: 1 online resource (40 minutes) , 003949

Keywords: Song family Genealogy. ; Manners and customs. ; Hebei Sheng (China) Social life and customs. ; Bhutan ; Documentary films. ; Ethnographic films.

Abstract: Located on the North China Plain about 200 miles south of Beijing, 'Song Family Village' is home to about 1,300 people. Some 80% of all villagers are members of a single lineage of the Song surname.The film documents New Year's customs to demonstrate the segmentary structure of the Song family lineage. Ancestor temples provide the focus for collective rituals that express historical growth and subsequent fissioning into lineage segments. Minimal segments (Wufu or mourning groups) are shown as interaction groups focused on the household shrines of senior living agnates. Although the Communist-led Cultural Revolution tried to eliminate traditional kin-based institutions, this film shows that segmentary lineages are still a vigorous aspect of life in this North China village.

Song Family Village. : Marriage Customs in a North China Village; 3,: Song Family Village Takes a Bride : (2009)

Song, Zhifang, [director,] [screenwriter.] ; Seaman, Gary, [producer.]

London, England :Royal Anthropological Institute,

add to mindlist on the mindlist

Details

Language: English

Pages: 1 online resource (27 minutes) , 002641

Keywords: Marriage customs and rites ; Manners and customs. ; Hebei Sheng (China) Social life and customs. ; Bhutan ; Documentary films. ; Ethnographic films.

Abstract: Most weddings in the village still reflect traditional patterns of patrilineal descent and patrilocal residence. The bride leaves her natal home to marry into her husband's village, where she is a stranger among his many agnates (patrilineal kin). Recent changes in the village economy have strengthened the bargaining position of women and the present marriage customs reflect this process. In this film, the bride refuses to kowtow to the groom's relatives, reflecting her ability to defy patriarchal traditions.

Vasile Nedea / (2009)

Grootheest, Sjoerd van, [director.]

London, England :Royal Anthropological Institute,

add to mindlist on the mindlist

Details

Language: Dutch

Pages: 1 online resource (43 minutes) , 004239

Keywords: Nedea, Vasile. ; Romanies Music. ; Ethnomusicology. ; Bhutan ; Ethnographic films. ; Documentary films.

Abstract: The film tells the story of Vasile Nedea, a Romanian gypsy musician an Amsterdam. Due to his former illegal status there have been times in which he was forced to show his skills whilst busking the streets. However, his extraordinary talent has not remained unrecognised, as he is currently playing in the Netherlands and Western Europe's most famous concert halls. The film takes the audience on a journey through the diverse musical world of Vasile Nedea during a transitional period on his road to success. Following an observational cinematographic style, the film allows the viewer to travel along with Vasile to witness some of the encounters he frequently has in numerous different musical settings. It also tries to stimulate the viewer to think about his or her own image of 'the other' and tries to leave the viewer realising his views might have shifted somewhat during this forty minutes of anthropological and music minded documentary.
