219 x 149 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. (x) + 437; numerous illustrations, maps, tables. Earlier owner's name signed on half-title. Fine condition. "The volume brings together the work of a number of scholars who have critically examined what has come to be known as the 'trance hypothesis'. Though they reach consensus ab…out the value of the hypothesis, they raise questions about points of detail and the applicability of the hypothesis to all paintings and engravings. Many of the chapters engage in wider issues that impinge on other disciplines, such as linguistics and folklore studies, demonstrating the relationship between them and rock art. The work includes an overview of the development of rock art studies, showing how the approach has been modified in the light of criticisms and new insights.".

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. This is a comprehensive study of the rock engravings of southern Africa, illustrating the major and more interesting engravings made by the Bushmen of the region. The beauty and variety of these engravings is revealed in full-colour photographs and rubbings. Their significance, meaning and mod…e of execution are discussed in the accompanying text, where the importance of the site is also explained. Thomas Dowson's research shows that there are strong indications that engravings, like rock paintings, have ritual associations and that they were executed by shamans after trance. Interviews with some of the present inhabitants of the region, and folk tales relating to the animals depicted in the engravings, amplify our understanding of the creative impetus responsible for these masterpieces. This book is a tribute to the Bushmen engravers of successive ages and to the magnificence of their work. It should be appreciated by archaeologists, anthropologists and students of southern Africa. A study of the rock engravings of Southern Africa, this book presents photographs illustrating the major and more interesting engravings made by the bushmen of the region.

Soft Cover. Zustand: Near Fine. Text in English. 437 pp. Rock art, once considered by most to be merely a 'quaint' representation ot the lite-style and vision of a 'primitive' people, is assuming an ever greater importance in academic debate. Rock art research, believed by some to be the field of the future, may well play a prom…inent role in the understanding of Southern African history at this time when received colonial perspectives are being rejected. Certainly, its integration with archaeology is producing an increasingly complete picture of changing settlement and ideology over the last two thousand years. New theoretical developments are opening up the field in ways that were undreamed of in the past and, in exploring some of them, this collection of papers offers a way to better understanding of a once neglected art form. The volume brings together the work of a number of scholars who have critically examined what has come to be known as the 'trance hypothesis'. Though they reach consensus about the value of the hypothesis, they raise questions about points of detail and the applicability of the hypothesis to all paintings and engravings. Many of the chapters engage in wider issues that impinge on other disciplines, such as linguistics and folklore studies, demonstrating the relationship between them and rock art. The work includes an overview of the development of rock art studies, showing how the approach has been modified in the light of criticisms and new insights.

Soft Cover. Zustand: Fine. 3rd Printing. 300 pp. Text in English. The papers in this volume, which is the first published work to deal exclusively with the Bleek and Lloy L.C. Lloyd in the field of Khoisan studies in southern Africa. Wilhelm Bleek and his sister-in-law Lucy Lloyd documented the language of the |Xam Bushmen by ta…king down by dictation, in a phonetic script they had developed, more than 12,000 pages of folklore, accounts of daily life, and descriptions of rituals. Since the 1870s this ethnographic material has been used extensively by linguists, folklorists and archaeologists, and this book brings together researchers from these diverse but related fields. The first part of the book describes these two unusual personalities and their work, the second the research that has followed. It thus not only presents a detailed biographical account of the Bleek family's work with the /Xam informants, it also represents a contemporary position on the status of their ethnographic collection.
