Abstract:

This dissertation presents an examination of the manner in which archaeologists identify and interpret the material signatures of ritual practice when the obvious hallmarks of monumentality and material ostentation are absent. Focusing on the work of Catherine Bell and Roy Rappaport, I developed a loose analytical framework to facilitate such identification and interpretation. This framework was first applied to ethnohistoric ritual practice in a sample of societies in the Eastern Woodlands of North America. This served to test the framework and aid in contextualizing evidence of prehistori

Abstract:

To date, previous discussions of the practise of ”weapon deposition” in prehistoric Scandinavia have focused primarily on the Roman Iron Age. The focus of these investigations have been the large offerings of weapons in bogs, which were presumably taken from enemies defeated in battle. Until recently, these particular kind of ritual practises were thought to have ceased in the middle of the 6th century. It is now widely acknowledged, however, that this sort of ritual practises did not simply dissappear, but instead re-emerged during the Vendel- and Viking age in a changed state. These rites, w

Dans le courant du XIIe siècle, alors que le Cambodge se trouve sous la domination politique de la dynastie dit « de Mahīdharapura » (1080/1081-ca. 1220), on assiste à un renouvellement des pratiques iconographiques qui se manifeste à travers l'apparition d'une iconographie narrative bouddhique, inexistante dans les images khmères auparavant. Lorsqu'elles sont mobilisées, ces images se trouvent sculptées dans des sanctuaires dont le système de représentation est hybride, c'est-à-dire qu'il mêle, dans des ensembles contemporains, d'une part, des sujets issus des sources scripturaires brahmaniqu

I have been dealing with the themes of prefabricated houses and housing estates until recently. I was especially interested in their aesthetics. Order, grid and certain regularity and repeatability.

So I moved from the general themes to my own experience. But what is my home? Home is a place of utmost importance in our society. Home is made up of people, family.

The overall aim of this project is to investigate how the Yezidi community in Borlänge puts Zahmanê Êzîdîa Li Dalarna into use, the meanings ascribed to the site by individual interviewees, and how these relate to ritual places and practices in Sheikhan.

Particular emphasis is given to re-interpreting the largest group of iron amulets, the iron amulet rings, in a more relational and practice-focused way than has heretofore been attempted.

Preclassic Maya centers were vibrant stages of performance where communities gathered to reaffirm and redefine themselves. Ceremonial pyramids and plazas were tangible and powerful receptacles of past and present forms of community identity. Archaeological remains enable us to develop a multi-generational sketch of public ritual life in the Maya lowlands from 400 BC to AD 300. Transformations in public performance and community participation corresponded with a series of modifications to ceremonial precints.

My research involves the study of two interrelated aspects of this complex musical tradition.

The excavations were carried out in 2007 and revealed extensive remains of a ritual place with burials, cult houses and food preparation areas. In addition, hundreds of cupmarks and two ship rock carvings were found. The cult place was constructed by moving stones around, gathering them into stone settings, stone walls and heaps of fire-cracked stones.

This thesis reads Wessex as a ritually performed space, examining the particularly ritual-conscious work of Thomas Hardy (1840-1928), John Cowper Powys (1872- 1963), and Mary Butts (1890-1937). This ritual process is begun with Hardy's reclamation of the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom name, and with his use of cultural and ritual survivals in his landscape. I argue that anthropological interest and deliberate ritual language positions author and characters as performers, mapping and creating sacred space, through a physical and linguistic movement on the page.

This project investigates the depositional practices of the towns of Roman Britain. The material remains of these depositional events are characterised by the appearance of certain objects and bodies within particular subterranean features. The most common types of objects and bodies found within urban centres include complete and almost complete pottery vessels, dogs and other domestic species, infants and sometimes metal objects and personal objects. The most common feature types are shafts, pits and wells with some evidence for deposits made underneath buildings or other structures. This in

Abstract:

Cemeteries serve as repositories of history and memories of the local community, as well as afford the living population an opportunity to connect and learn about a culture’s past. Accordingly, the cemetery as a place and the rituals associated with death and remembrance that it holds, not only communicate and express the ideals of a collective identity, but also undergo modifications with time and geography. Through the study of burial rituals and funerary traditions of the multicultural community in the City of Richmond in British Columbia, this thesis seeks unifying qualities within the div

This project presents the design of a theatre. The theatre site is located in Halifax, Nova Scotia and will serve as the home for the Legacy Centre for the Performing arts. A selection of theatre spaces and ritual spaces, including temples and churches are analyzed, with attention paid to performance theory research in order to interpret the shared activities within these two building types. Architectural connections between these spaces are made as well as a building language common to both. A collection of theatre buildings, including the design for the Legacy Centre, is produced.

Abstract:

Masters Research - Master of Philosophy (MPhil)<br>This paper examines how memory, knowledge and connection are imbued in place. Considering how place can inhabit self and self can inhabit place. This proposition is reinforced by looking at many models and cross cultural examples as well as the work of theorists such as Casey, Relph and Blowby. The proposition that we are strongly related to our geographical locations, and by considering the similarities in make up of the earth to our bodies, a case is made that we are biologically and chemically part of the land.

Abstract:

R. Murray Schafer (b. 1933, Sarnia, Ontario, Canada) is a seminal voice in Canadian music, due not only to the often controversial, but widespread international reception of his extensive spectrum of works, but also, due to his distinct approach to composition. Schafer’s Patria cycle (1966- ) employs unorthodox performance locales and contexts, a confluence of art forms and sensory experiences, and demands active audience participation, defining Patria as one of the most ambitious stage works. In this dissertation I explore two essential frameworks that are seminal in the discussion of Patria

The aim of the diploma thesis is to define a specific phenomenon bound to the current consumer society, which by its expression considers certain values and relations to the material world as necessary or, on the contrary, unnecessary. At the same time, it examines the boundary between consumer goods that we use on a daily basis and the subjects that have become part of our personality. These findings are demonstrated on specific examples. Telecommunication progress and its impact on today's consumer society in all aspects of nowadays lifestyle has become the starting point for the diploma wor

Vyšehrad cemetery: Place of National Cemetery Abstrakt - English Lucie Babíčková In the beginning of the thesis I am interesting about the history of Vyšehrad cemetery and about some social live happening at this cemetery. For example I am interested in several additional funerals to this cemetery (for example Vlasta Burian), with several ceremonies around some people buried on Vyšehrad (Karel Čapek or Bedřich Smetana). I am also interested in the Svatobor society - society which founded this cemetery. In the fourth chapter I am writing about visitors of Vyšehrad and about their perception of
