Saints and Fireworks
Religion and Politics in Rural Malta
AvJeremy Boissevain
Häftad, Engelska, 2021
611 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Malta's recent independence was achieved despite a confusion of internal conflicts which must appear puzzling to the outsider. Socialists and Nationalists clash both with each other, and with a Church whose authority is almost medieval. Dr Boissevain has lived for more than two years in Malta and has studied at first hand the conflicting groups in the villages. He examines the importance of the cults of saints and the bitter rivalry between them. The clash of the Church and Labour clubs within the villages and the difficult role of the parish priest are analysed in the framework of Maltese ecclesiastical and secular politics. Both in its vivid description of village festive and political life and in the careful analysis of conflicts and factions, the book makes an important contribution to political anthropology.
Factions, Friends and Feasts
Anthropological Perspectives on the Mediterranean

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Drawing on field research in Malta, Sicily and among Italian emigrants in Canada, this book explores the social influence of the Mediterranean climate and the legacy of ethnic and religious conflict from the past five decades. Case studies illustrate the complexity of daily life not only in the region but also in more remote academe, by analysing the effects of fierce family loyalty, emigration and the social consequences of factionalism, patronage and the friends-of-friends networks that are widespread in the region. Several chapters discuss the social and environmental impact of mass tourism, how locals cope, and the paradoxical increase in religious pageantry and public celebrations. The discussions echo changes in the region and the related development of the author’s own interests and engagement with prevailing issues through his career.

Revitalizing European Rituals

First published in 1992, Revitalizing European Rituals explores why revitalization of celebrations is taking place in communities throughout Europe. The festive behaviour appears to contradict the sober, rational conduct associated with modernization and industrialization. The contributors examine fairs, carnivals, fiestas, Holy Week, and national rituals in Britain, Poland, Spain, Italy, Malta and Greece. They have lived and worked in the communities they describe, celebrated the festivities they analyse, and have discussed them with the celebrants.
The underlying reasons for the revival are complex and examined fully. The conclusions provide surprising insights into the changes sweeping across Europe. This book will be valuable reading for researchers and lecturers in social anthropology, sociology, religious studies, cultural studies, and tourism.

Contesting the Foreshore
Tourism, Society and Politics on the Coast

E-bok
PDF, Engelska, 2025

Läs direkt efter köp
This collection of essays is about tourism and social, political, and economic relations in coastal locations in various parts of the world. The starting point of each chapter is the ethnographic study of one particular place. However, the authors are also concerned with wider regional, national, and global forces which shape and influence the local economies and societies under review. Although most of the essays focus on the European coastline, the book is intended to have implications for other geographical areas.In most parts of the world, coastal settlements and contexts are changing rapidly and markedly. These contexts are routinely characterised by conflict between different interest groups contesting the ownership and control of the foreshore and its resources. One of the threads running through the volume is that coastal regions are often sites of fishing and related 'traditional' activities.The chapters discuss the relationships between traditional stakeholders, such as fishermen and local residents, and new stakeholders including new residents, second-home owners, tourists and tourism property developers, and fish farm managers as they vie for status, influence, and ultimately for space on the foreshore.The underlying preoccupation of the volume as a whole is the extent of penetration and transformation resulting from the onward march of capitalism and the market system in the coastal locations studied. This is the second publication in the MARE Publication Series. A collection of essays studying the rapid changes in coastal settlements due to the conflicting interests of traditional and new stakeholders.

Coping with Tourists
European Reactions to Mass Tourism
AvJeremy Boissevain
Inbunden, Engelska, 1996

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Once content to sunbathe and follow guides and established itineraries, tourists are increasingly seeking authentic culture. This is taking them into the private areas and zones to which the locals retire in order to escape the tourist gaze, creating tensions between the two groups. Based on recent anthropological field studies, this book describes how European communities dependant on tourism have been affected by the commoditization of their culture and explores the ways they cope with the constant attention of outsiders. The collection demonstrates both varied and skillful ways in which individuals and communities react to and cope with the impact of decades of mass tourism on their lives and values, thus throwing new light onto questions of identity, boundary maintenance and cultural adjustment.
