While there has been a significant focus on how hospitality was commodified, commercialised and standardised in the literature, less attention is given to the extent of which local traditions and hospitality change and adapt to the demand of tourists.

Abstract:

This thesis explores Afro-Peruvian identity vis-à-vis national republican identity through visual representations of black Peruvian subjects in the late colonial and post-independence period (1750s – 1890s). Its foundations lie in a detailed analysis of these representations, primarily in bringing to the surface the historical articulation of post-independence representations with their late colonial precedents as an interweaving of cultural discourses. Focal points are Léonce Angrand’s (1808 – 1886) images from his time as French Vice-consul in Lima during the 1830s, and the works of German a

Descriptions of mourning adornments in England and New Orleans in the nineteenth century are used to argue that many of the customs of mourning in England -- the designs, themes, and materials -- also were present in New Orleans. This study draws from these observations and sources to suggest that mourning practices involving jewelry and costume became more functional and less formal in both England and New Orleans as the century progressed, while French customs retained and even grew in complexity.

Abstract:

This study is conducted in order to obtain information on the causes and methods of killings grounded by honor, and through which processes and by whom these killings are realized. The rationale behind honor killings is based on a primitive understanding of justice. The relatives of the killed person assume the honor of their family, clan etc. is cleaned, and justice achieved. What may be the reasons of the persistence of such an understanding of justice in present day? In trying to answer this question, the meaning and perception of the concept of honor, the social and historical roots of the

The distinctiveness of folk music and dance traditions in Cornwall is at best ignored and at worst denied by the wider British folk movement.

Abstract:

The Dene are a subarctic people indigenous to northern Canada. The indirect and direct contact the Dene had with the European traders and Christian missionaries who came to their land around the turn of the 20th century triggered profound changes in their society and economy. This study focuses on some of these changes, and, particularly, on how they have affected the lives of Dene women who inhabit the small community of Fort Liard, which is located in the southwest corner of the Northwest Territories.<br>Using as context the formal and informal economy and the concept of the model of product

Baishatun completely follows up Mazu’s will, keeping the most traditional way of pilgrimage march with less man-made interference. Date, schedule, and number of days of the march are all confirmed with Mazu’s favor by incumbent host of censer’s casting lots. Even the route and where the palanquin rests are different in each y

Abstract:

The objective of the study was to measure the impact of modernisation on the religious customs and traditions of the tribals residing in Rourkela. The study was confined to the four major tribes, viz. Kisan, Oraon, Kharia and Mundas, who reside in different settlements located in Rourkela. A major issue that the study reveals is the large-scale impact of modernisation and urbanisation on indigenous tribal areas of Rourkela that is rapidly eroding the age-old customs and traditions of the tribal groups. The government policy of industrializing remote areas has led to the emergence of high-tech
