"Adereços” é a denominação que os Pataxó utilizam para definir os diferentes adornos para enfeitar o corpo. Os adereços Pataxó, especialmente ao longo dos últimos anos, apresentam uma significativa dinâmica cultural, aparentemente até uma mudança radical. Entretanto, são pautados em conhecimentos passados pelos mais velhos, revelados através da memória oral e expressos na composição de cada peça. Dada a riqueza e diversidade do conjunto de adereços Pataxó, foi necessário fazer um recorte, colocando o foco nos cocares, nas tangas e colares, dentre alguns outros objetos. Na pesquisa de campo foram entrevistados anciãos e demais membros do povo Pataxó, além de realizada observação participante no decorrer dos jogos indígenas e outros eventos. Foi realizada também pesquisa documental, em teses e dissertações, relatos de viajantes e outros documentos históricos. Torna-se evidente que os adereços Pataxó são a constituição de um processo que está intimamente relacionado com a identidade Pataxó, que se faz presente na maneira como se aprende e se ensina; no modo como são produzidos; e na matéria-prima utilizada, o que demonstra forte ligação com seu território. Desse modo, a identidade Pataxó é revelada na relação entre os indivíduos e os objetos, num processo complexo que entrecruza o passado e o presente, numa dinâmica contínua. This dissertation is the result of ethnographic research, conducted between 2010 and 2012, with the Pataxó people of the Extreme South of Bahia, in different villages in the municipalities of Prado, Itamaraju, Porto Seguro and Santa Cabrália, with the objective to describe Pataxó decorations, their production and use reflecting on the identity and history of these people. “Adereços” is the name that the Pataxó use to define the different adornments that decorate the body. The Pataxó decorations, throughout recent years, present a dynamic culture, apparently even a radical change, but are based on knowledge passed on by the older ones, revealed through oral memory, and are expressed in the composition of each piece. Given the richness and diversity of the Pataxó collection of decorations, it was necessary to make a limit, putting a focus on headdresses, loincloths and necklaces, among other objects. In field research elders and other members of the Pataxó people were interviewed, in addition to participant observation in indigenous games and other events. Documentary research was carried out as well, in theses and dissertations, traveler’s accounts and other historical documents. It is evident that Pataxó decorations are the foundation of a process that is intimately related to the Pataxó identity, which is present in the manner they are learnt and taught; in the way they are produced, in the raw material used to demonstrate strong linkages with territory. Thereby, the Pataxó identity is revealed in the relation between individuals and objects, in a complex process where the past and the present meet, in a continuous dynamic.

2	La parure épipaléolithique et néolithique de la Syrie (12e au 7e millénaire avant J.-C.) : techniques et usages, échanges et identités / The Epipalaeolithic and Neolithic Personal Adornments from Syria (12th-7th Millennium BC) : techniques and Uses, Exchanges and Identities Alarashi, Hala 30 October 2014 (has links) Au cours de la Néolithisation au Proche-Orient, les bouleversements majeurs survenus au niveau de l’organisation socio-économique des communautés humaines (sédentarisation, agriculture et élevage) se sont accompagnés de changements dans le domaine techno-symbolique. Le présent travail a permis de caractériser l’une des principales manifestations matérielles dans ce domaine, les ornements personnels, à travers l’étude des éléments de parure de six sites syriens couvrant la période entre le 12e et le 6e millénaire avant J.-C. Dans une démarche méthodologique visant à traiter la grande diversité des objets archéologiques, du coquillage à la turquoise en passant par l’os et l’argile, plusieurs protocoles d’identification des matériaux, de classification morpho-typologique et d’analyse tracéologique ont été élaborés. L’analyse des objets de parure selon cette approche intégrative a permis de mettre en évidence l’évolution des formes recherchées et des matériaux utilisés depuis le Natoufien final jusqu’au PPNB récent, mais aussi des développements et des innovations techniques concernant notamment le traitement des roches dures comme la cornaline. Grâce à l’étude des contextes archéologiques et à la reconstitution de certaines parures, les fonctions de ces objets chez les premières sociétés néolithiques ont pu être en partie identifiées. Ainsi, durant le PPNA, les parures pouvaient marquer une appartenance identitaire, parallèlement à des parures « rituelles » qui pourraient être liées à la sphère symbolique propre à cette période. A partir du PPNB moyen les parures sont aussi associées à la mort et à des pratiques funéraires particulières. Les hypothèses proposées par cette thèse ouvrent des perspectives de recherche qui pourront être explorées en élargissant le corpus aux régions adjacentes (Anatolie, Jordanie, etc.) et à des périodes plus récentes. / During the neolithization process in the Near East, alongside the major shifts occurring in the socio-economic organization of the human communities (sedentism, agriculture and husbandry) changes also impacted the techno-symbolic world. The present work aims to characterize and understand one the main material expression in this domain, the personal adornments, by the study of bead assemblages from six Syrian sites dating from the 12th to the 6th millennium cal BC. In order to deal with the great diversity of the archaeological items, e.g. from shell to turquoise beads through bone pendants and clay objects, several methodological protocols of identification, morpho-typological classification and use-wear analysis have been elaborated. The analysis of the beads using this combination of approaches has brought to light the evolution in the conception and use of different shapes, types and materials for this purpose from the final Natufian period to the Late PPNB, as well as the technological development and improvements regarding particularly the transformation of hard stones such as the carnelian. Through the study of the archaeological contexts and the reconstitution of some ornaments, the functions of these objects have been partly addressed. Thus, during the PPNA, the ornaments expressed a social and cultural group affiliation, while from the Middle PPNB onwards they were also associated to the death and to particular funeral rituals. The hypothesis proposed by this work offers promising research perspectives which can be explored by extending the corpus to the adjacent areas (Anatolia, Jordan, etc.) and later periods.

3	Parure, costume et modes vestimentaires en Albanie à l’Âge du Bronze final et à l’Âge du Fer à travers la documentation funéraire / Adornment, costume and modes of dress during the final phase of the Bronze Age and the Iron Age in Albania through the funerary data Kurti, Rovena 24 November 2016 (has links) L’objectif principal de ce travail est de fournir une compréhension plus complète du costume funéraire au cours de l’Âge du Fer sur tout le territoire actuel de l’Albanie, et d’en suivre sa variabilité dans le temps et l’espace. Le cadre chronologique de notre analyse s’étend du XIe à la fin du VIe/début Ve siècle av. J.-C. Afin de mieux encadrer les ensembles dans le temps et l’espace, on a, dans un premier temps, réalisé une analyse typo-chronologique exhaustive des principales catégories d’accessoires vestimentaires et de parure du corps, analyse étayée par des comparaisons provenant d’un cadre géographique plus large, balkanique et européen. Considérant le costume comme un moyen important d’expression des identités individuelles, du groupe ou d’une région, l’étude se poursuit avec l’analyse des ensembles de parure pour chaque région et même pour chaque nécropole. Cette analyse vise à l’identification de « règles » dans l’association des différents composants du costume, en tenant compte aussi de leur typologie et de la manière de les porter, afin d’arriver à meilleur compréhension des différents types de costumes régionaux et de leur évolution chronologique. Cette étude comprend aussi une analyse de la dynamique des contacts régionaux et intra-régionaux au cours de l’Âge du Fer en Albanie, et l’impact des relations et les échanges culturels dans l’élaboration des différents costumes régionaux. Enfin, nous espérons que la définition d’une chronologie plus fine du costume funéraire pourra servir d’élément de réflexion à part entière pour une meilleure redéfinition de la séquence chronologique relative de l’Âge du Fer en Albanie. / The main aim of this study is to provide a comprehensive understanding of funerary costumes during the Iron Age in the present territory of Albania, and to follow their variability in time and space. The chronological context of this study covers the period from the 11th to the end of the 6th/ beginning of the 5th century B.C. In order to better frame the assemblages in time and space, the study focuses first on a systematic typo-chronological analysis of the main categories of dress and body ornaments associated with burial costumes, based on comparisons from a wider geographical context, from the Balkans and Europe. Considering appearance and modes of dress as important means of expressing individual, group or regional identities, the study continues by analyzing specific regional assemblages of ornaments and sometimes those of specific cemeteries. In order to provide a better understanding of the different types of regional costumes and their chronological development during the Iron Age, this analysis aims to identify “rules” of dress by examining the association patterns of individual components of costume, while also taking into account their typology and their position relative to the body. In this part of the study, the dynamics of regional and intra-regional contacts during the Iron Age in Albania are also analyzed, as are the impact of cultural relationships and exchanges in the development of various regional costumes. Finally, a finer chronology of the burial costume as defined in this study should serve as a starting point for redefining the relative chronological sequence of the Iron Age in Albania.

4	New consumption identities in virtual worlds : the case of 'Second Life' Nikolaou, Ioanna January 2011 (has links) The dynamic development of new technologies influences consumers in many different ways reaching far beyond the shift in consumption patterns, challenging the way consumers live their lives. The role of new information technologies is continually growing in our daily lives changing the way we see the self and the world around us. Consequently, the advent of the computer culture incites a radical rethinking of who we are and the nature of being human, which clearly illustrates the postmodern age. As a result, over the past decades consumer research has moved away from simply viewing consumers as information processors to consumers as socially conceptualized beings. This Consumer Culture Theory (CCT) movement views consumers and consumer behaviour as articulations of meanings and materiality within the productive of complex cultural milieu. This ethnographic thesis focuses on the three-dimensional virtual world of Second Life, which is a 'Real Life' simulation and where the residents represent themselves through 'avatars', creating a kind of virtual materiality. This raises interesting questions for consumer researchers, not just about how consumption is enacted, produced and articulated within this environment, but also in relation to theoretical and methodological issues. More specifically, this thesis critically examines the development of interpretive consumer research and the emergence of the Consumer Culture Theory framework in the context of the juxtaposition of reality and hyperreality and takes a position which goes beyond the 'body in the net/physical body' binary. Therefore, this thesis places the 'avatar-as-consumer' at the centre of the research focus. The current thesis develops a theoretical framework which examines the role of consumption in resolving key paradoxes. Moreover, it extends the netnography framework from mainly text based research to the visual characteristics of virtual worlds so that it can be useful for the study of complex online environments and as a result, how the role of the researcher goes beyond netnography to virtualography is discussed. 658

Inseridos no contexto de diversidade cultural que caracteriza a região do Gran Chaco e Alto Paraguai, sítios arqueológicos associados à cerâmica Pantanal - atribuída a grupos pescadores-caçadores-coletores, e à cerâmica Descalvados - atribuída a grupos cultivadores - são discutidos a partir de seu material lítico e cerâmico, bem como da distribuição espacial desses vestígios. Pela primeira vez é realizado um estudo sobre o material lítico da ocupação Descalvados, evidenciando uma indústria de adornos. Ao longo do trabalho diferentes níveis de relações são explorados, desde as possíveis funções dos sítios no âmbito de sistemas de sítios, como a organização interna de um sítio da ocupação Descalvados. Para a discussão de sistemas de sítios são consideradas variáveis paisagísticas e a variabilidade presente no material arqueológico de distintos sítios. Para a discussão da organização interna de um sítio são comparados materiais cerâmicos e líticos, além de estruturas arqueológicas, aos quais foram atribuídas determinadas funções. Oposições binárias como tralha doméstica versus parafernália ritual, e espaços domésticos versus espaços funerários são exploradas numa perspectiva estruturalista, permitindo vislumbrar aspectos materiais e não materiais da ocupação Descalvados. A discussão extrapola a abordagem funcionalista ecológica, à medida que trata de aspectos que vão além das funções práticas dos elementos materiais e espaciais. São também testadas algumas hipóteses construídas previamente, tais como as funções das vasilhas cerâmicas, e a possível concomitância das ocupações associadas às cerâmicas Pantanal e Descalvados. Novas datações absolutas foram obtidas, preenchendo um lapso temporal que existia para a ocupação Descalvados, e recuando em cerca de um milênio o início da ocupação pelos grupos associados à cerâmica Pantanal / This research deals with functional and spatial aspects of a set of archeological sites located in the northern area of the Mato Grosso Pantanal known as the Pantanal of Cáceres. Within a context of cultural diversity which characterizes the region of the Gran Chaco and Upper Paraguay, archeological sites associated with Pantanal ceramics (attributed to groups of fishermen, hunters and collectors) and Descalvados ceramics (attributed to groups of farmers), are discussed in terms of the lithic and ceramic material, as well as the distribution of these remains. For the first time, a study is being carried out on the lithic material of the occupation by the Descalvados revealing the production of decorations. During the study, different levels of relationships were explored starting from the possible functions of the sites in the realm of site systems through to the internal organization of a site occupied by the Descalvados. In order to discuss the site systems, variables such as the surrounding area and variations in the archeological material present in distinct sites were taken into consideration. For discussion of the internal organization of the site, ceramic and lithic material were compared as well as archeological structures to which specific functions were attributed. Binary opositions such as domestic utensils vesus ritual paraphernalia and domestic space versus funeral spaces are explored from a structuralist perspective permitting a view of the material and non-material aspects of the Descalvados occupation. The discussion extrapolates the ecological, functionalist approach since it deals with aspects which go beyond the practical functions of the material and spatial elements. Also, some previously constructed hypotheses are tested such as the functions of the ceramic containers and the possible concomitance of the occupations associated with the Pantanal and Descalvados ceramics.

8	O corpo e os adereços : sepultamentos humanos e as especificidades dos adornos funerários Silva, Jaciara Andrade 22 March 2013 (has links) Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / This research aims to analyze human burials through the Archaeothanatological methods. We focus on studying skeleton deposition in its graves and the adornments that were buried to them. Following the methodology aforementioned, our approach to gather details from human burials is realized intending to understand its original deposition (when it's originally kept) and other elements that we may link individuals to specific artifacts buried along the graves. Each skeleton characterization and singularities, such as pathologies and other alterations, must be considered in order to profile the deceased individuals. Referring to adornments, we analyze them according to geometrical characteristics and the material they are made of, so we may know this artifact “history” in order to establish a link to the individual who it was buried together. Knowing adornments’ historical trajectory may help us to make a chronological cut, specially to the period after Europeans groups arrival. The utilization of these two kind of products ensures that the natives contacted with the foreigns, so as the incorporation of European beads in burial adornments. The approach to human skeletons and the adornments in its graves intends to how these groups lived, including ceremonial burials, so these rituals show us that the attention given to the dead reflects, in many ways, the importance of the living. / O trabalho tem por objetivo analisar os sepultamentos humanos através dos métodos propostos pela Arqueotanatologia tendo como foco o modo de deposição do esqueleto em sua sepultura, bem como, os acompanhamentos do tipo adornos a eles pertencentes de modo particular. Seguindo os métodos acima mencionados, é promovida uma abordagem dos sepultamentos humanos de forma detalhada para compreender sua deposição original (quando assim mantidos) e demais elementos que possibilitem uma correlação entre os indivíduos e os artefatos específicos depositados em suas sepulturas. A caracterização de cada esqueleto e suas particularidades como patologias e demais alterações devem ser consideradas para traçar um perfil do morto. No que se refere aos adornos, são analisados conforme suas características geométricas e o tipo de material empregado em sua confecção buscando assim conhecer a “história” deste artefato estabelecendo uma ligação entre ele e o indivíduo a que foi depositado. Compreender o tipo do artefato também pode nos possibilitar um corte cronológico no que se refere principalmente, aos objetos pertencentes ao período após a chegada de grupos europeus. O envolvimento desses dois tipos de produtos atesta o contato do nativo com o recém-chegado, e a incorporação das contas europeias nos adereços funerários. A abordagem dos esqueletos humanos e dos adornos presentes em suas sepulturas visa uma compreensão desses agrupamentos, através das ações empregadas nos ritos funerários, considerando que o cuidado com o morto, reflete em muitos aspectos o grau de importância dado ao vivo.

10	Les marqueurs sociaux : représentation, identité, statut en Égypte ancienne : (IIIe millénaire – mi IIe millénaire avant notre ère) / Social Markers : representation, identity, status in Ancient Egypt : (IIIrd – mid IInd millennium BC) Mazé, Christelle 13 December 2010 (has links) Ces recherches mettent en évidence comment les anciens Égyptiens rendaient visibles leur position sociale d’une part dans la hiérarchie des rapports entre individus et d’autre part au sein de leur groupe d’appartenance. Les marqueurs sociaux considérés sont de nature matérielle mais aussi culturelle et peuvent prendre la forme concrète d’objets de luxe et de prestige ou l’aspect plus subjectif de manières de s’exprimer ou de se comporter en faisant appel à la culture développée par les élites. Il ne s’agit pas ici d’établir un catalogue exhaustif mais de montrer comment les individus, en fonction de leur appartenance à des catégories sociales différentes, utilisent et interprètent les marques d’identité, de pouvoir et de prestige créées et perpétuées par la royauté et par les élites placées à son service. En fonction de l’importance sociale des individus, de l’époque considérée et de la capacité du pouvoir central à s’affirmer comme source de légitimité, les comportements ne sont pas les mêmes et les valeurs dont sont porteurs certains objets, certaines manières ont changé en même tant que la société évoluait. L’importance matérielle et symbolique de certains marqueurs sociaux a en effet pu être remise en cause ou au contraire développée par l’intégration de références à de nouvelles sources de pouvoir, tels les ancêtres ou les gouverneurs locaux sous la Première Période intermédiaire. En ce sens, le mimétisme culturel permet d’observer comment des personnes situées en dehors des sphères institutionnelles de l’État parviennent malgré tout à s’approprier le discours officiel imposé par le pouvoir central. L’étude s’organise en trois temps : la place de l’héritage lignager dans l’affirmation de la position sociale ; la manière de se comporter et d’occuper l’espace, tant dans la topographie que lors de manifestations cérémonielles ; l’usage des objets comme témoins de l’appartenance sociale et moyens d’expression du statut et de l’identité via la culture matérielle. / This research highlights how Ancient Egyptians displayed their social position, on the one hand according to the hierarchical relationships between individuals, and on the other hand according to their membership of different groups. Social markers are of both material as well as cultural kinds and can take concrete forms like objects of luxury and prestige, but also as subjective forms, like ways of expressing oneself and behaving through references to a culture developed by the elite. It is not a matter of presenting a complete catalogue here. The intellectual process consists of making understand how individuals, ddepending on their membership of different social classes, used and interpreted marks of identity, power and prestige, which had been created and sustained by the royalty and the elite at their service. Depending on the social importance of individuals, the considered time period, and the ability of the central government to assert itself as a source of legitimacy, personal and collective behaviours were not always the same, and values embodied in objects and manners have changed, as society has evolved. The material and symbolic significance of social markers could have been thrown into question during leadership crisis or on the contrary, it could have been developed by the adoption of references to new sources of power, such as ancestors and local governors during the First Intermediate Period. In this way, cultural imitation allows us to observe how persons who are not linked to the institutional spheres of the State manage to take up the official discourse imposed by the central government after all. This study is divided into three parts: the significance of lineage to assert a social position; the way ones behaves and occupies the space around, in topography or in ceremonial events; the use of objects as signs of social membership et means to express status and identity through material culture.
