Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. "Artists in String: String Figures, Their Regional Distribution and Social Significance" is a fascinating anthropological exploration into the intricate world of string figures, commonly known as cat's cradle. This work examines how these complex patterns are far more than mere games; they represent a unique form of artistic expression and cultural communication found across the globe. The book investigates the regional distribution of string figures, tracing their presence among various indigenous peoples from the Arctic to the Pacific Islands and Africa. Author Kathleen Haddon provides detailed descriptions of the techniques used and analyzes the social significance of these figures within their respective communities. She highlights how the patterns often represent local mythology, everyday objects, or natural phenomena, serving as a vital window into the collective imagination and storytelling traditions of different societies. Combining scientific observation with a deep appreciation for folk art, "Artists in String" remains an essential resource for anthropologists, folklorists, and those interested in the history of games and traditional crafts. It celebrates the universal human impulse for creativity and the sophisticated cultural narratives that can emerge from a simple loop of string.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
