TY - GEN N1 - 24 cm N2 - This paper examines the nature of social inequality taking examples from traditional Hinduism still functioning in rural Western India. Comparative research enables us to show the distinct inner divisions of society and different ways of expressing these divisions. Focus on three traditional groups from India — Rajputs, camel shepherds (Rabaris) and Untouchable Dalits (Meghwals), each holding a specific position in society, sheds more light not only on the idosyncracies of their culture, but also on how a specific notion categorizing Hindu values, first creates firm boundaries in society, and then imprints itself on all subgroups, and finally expresses them culturally in myths, symbols, rituals, etc. Doing analysis of these cultures, we discover not only what makes all of them Hindu, but also what makes them distinct. We can also observe the different ways in which each subgroup reacts to social divisions, taking them for granted, crossing them, or being forbidden any transgression. This paper emphasizes the advantage of doing ethnological fieldwork; work on several levels, including interviews and personal contact with a living culture, offers extensive data from various sources, enabling a cultural analysis on a deeper level M3 - Text J2 - Archaeologia Polona Vol. 44 (2006) PY - 2006 EP - 230 KW - inequality KW - social and cultural boundaries KW - social networks KW - collective experience KW - Indian society A1 - Demski, Dagnosław PB - Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology Polish Academy of Sciences VL - 44 CY - Warszawa SP - 213 T1 - Questions of inequality and collective experience.

Through close readings of Ausonius’ Epigrams and Silius Italicus’ epic on the Punic war, informed by archaeological evidence and reconstructions of ancient weaving, the paper demonstrates that male Roman authors display significant knowledge of the practicalities of contemporary textile work and its range of sensory experiences. The paper explains the basis for this knowledge by drawing on archaeological evidence for shared use of domestic space, but in contrast to previous studies on shared space utilisation and crafts, emphasis is placed on the childhood experiences both of male and female children in elite households. The paper proposes that training undertaken by girls of such families impacts considerably on male members of the household and underpins the technical knowledge displayed in literary descriptions of textile work L1 - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/Content/67585/PDF/WA308_87897_PIII348_Textile-Work-in-Shar_I.pdf M3 - Text J2 - Fasciculi Archaeologiae Historicae.

The deposits of large Cretaceous flint nodules start being exploited at this time. Their mining was carried out in open pits as well as in mines and adits. Studies of Tripolian culture sites in the northwest of Ukraine showed that workshop settlements focused on production and exploitation of these raw materials were situated near the Volhynian flint deposits. The settlement in Bodaki, Ternopol district, is one of these sites. A complex study of flint materials from this site has provided interesting results. Use-wear and planigraphy analyses showed that the pre-processing of raw materials was undertaken outside the settlement. Flint knapping was done in a special workshop and on an open working platform where the majority of tools found was connected with flint knapping. There were cores, spherical hammerstones, punches, retouchers and ridge blades. In dwellings, on the contrary, the majority of tools were connected with the processing and production of final products. These are scrapers and borers for processing skins, saws, burins, drills, knives for planing wood, bone and anthler, and knives for cutting meat. Other finds included tools used in agriculture, such as sickle inserts and grinding stones. These results testify that Tripolian-culture communities had specialized workshop settlements for flint processing, and at the same time, within the site, the complete cycle of economic activity, characteristic for the economy of this time, was carried out. In the Eneolithic period in Bulgaria, in the Dobrudja district, workshop settlements that completely provided flint products to settlements in others areas, for example the Black Sea area, were also registered. Specialized objects related to flint mining were examined in England, Belgium, France and Poland (Małecka Kukawka 2011, 2014; Małecka-Kukawka and Werra 2011; Werra and Małecka- Kukawka 2017), but a lack of usewear analysis of the assemblages from those sites precludes presently the characterization of their economic features L1 - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/Content/130395/PDF/WA308_103317_Settlement-of-Bodaki_I.pdf M3 - Text J2 - Between History and Archaeology : papers in honour of Jacek Lech PY - 2018 EP - 302 KW - Eneolithic KW - Tripolian culture KW - flint deposits KW - tool functions KW - experiments A1 - Skakun, Natalia N.

The study was inspired by the fact that Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age projectile points bear untypical microwear traces interpreted in many different ways in the literature on the subject. The aforementioned features (detected primarily in the uppermost parts of the artefacts) include: hide working polish as well as co-existing rounding and smoothing of the surface. With the aim of gaining a deeper insight into the subject, the authors conducted an experiment and performed a traceological analysis of arrowheads replicas. During the experimental phase, the microwear formation process was monitored using the microscopic equipment. As a result, distinctive traces on the tools were identified. This fact supported the hypothesis that leather quiver exerts its impact on the arrow points stored inside.

In today’s world noise seems omnipresent, and is described as ‘the plague of our times’. Terms as ‘noise hell’, ‘noise dictatorship’ and ‘times of noise’ are used to describe the current state. It becomes evermore difficult to find silence. Many authors, a.o. these cited by the Author of this article: like Erling Kagge, Robert Sarah, Nicolas Diat and Siergiej J. Rumjancew speak of the quest to find silence, its meaning, influence on health and personal relationships, and dangers associated with life in a world dominated by ever-present, unsilenced noise. Moreover, this article presents findings of Polish (Wrocław) scholars regarding the phenomenon of silence, its understanding and experience. The Author presents data from preliminary research about silence and noise which she has conducted among the inhabitants of the Warsaw district of Mokotów (specifically its part called Garden-City Sadyba and the neighbouring block of flats Bernadyńska). The aim is to provide answers about the meaning of these phenomena for the inhabitants of this area, the influence on their everyday life, neighbour relations, attitudes towards their place of settlement. Another focus of research is to illustrate the changes in this soundscape, pointing to their sources and consequences. Part of the text is devoted to the ‘demise of silence’ in areas where large construction projects (like airport or hydroelectric power plant) are realised. As such it is difficult to determine how to reconcile the needs of a growing city with the demands of advocates of silence, how to resolve conflicts among people who love silence and these who find it dull and futile L1 - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/Content/73418/PDF/WA308_94403_P326_O-ciszy-i-halasie_I.pdf M3 - Text J2 - On silence and noise.

Drawing on my experience of learning, researching and performing Indonesian music, I discuss several issues that are pertinent to the ethnomusicological/anthropological study of non-native music-cultures. I examine the concept of bi-musicality, its challenges and limitations; the role of a phenomenological perspective and hermeneutics in conceptualizing the complexities of music experience and meaning in music; and the role of music in shaping identity, especially at the community level.

It presents two general approaches to experience in philosophy (Hume and Kant) and their development and inspiration in contemporary philosophy of science. These two traditions constitute a framework within which the importance and meaning of experience in archaeology has been discussed. More particularly, the article pinpoints differences between positivist and modernist definition of experience. A special attention is focused upon modernist understanding of experience and its importance. Furthermore, it discusses contemporary tendencies that view experience through its links to emotion and not exclusively to reason. Usefulness of experience is proven to be fundamental in positivist and modernist archaeology, while its value is of limited importance in archaeological works inspired by postmodernist ideas L1 - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/Content/60007/PDF/WA308_79655_PIII149_Rola-i-znaczenie-poj_I.pdf M3 - Text J2 - The importance and meaning of category of experience in archaeology J2 - Przegląd Archeologiczny T. 48 (2000) PY - 2000 EP - 18 KW - usefulness of experience KW - positivism KW - modernism KW - post-modernism KW - ethnoarchaeology KW - processual archaeology KW - contextual archaeology A1 - Minta-Tworzowska, Danuta PB - Instytut Archeologii i Etnologii Polskiej Akademii Nauk VL - 48 CY - Wrocław SP - 5 T1 - Rola i znaczenie pojęcia doświadczenia w archeologii UR - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/dlibra/publication/edition/60007 ER - TY - GEN N1 - 24 cm N2 - This article focuses on the problems on the frontier of identity of the female researcher and the female fitness instructor. The frontier here is understood metaphorically as a ‘space’ of contact of at least two identities belonging to the same subject. The particular aspect of the frontier understood in such a way is to connect both perspectives: of the instructor and the researcher. The combination of these two perspectives reveals specific experience of movement and corporeality. It also influences the research methods and the reflexive experience. The aim of this article is to present similarities and differences in experiencing movement and corporeality by the researcher and the fitness instructor, to describe the meanings attributed in this process to the body, to consider the relations between the embodied activities of the fitness instructor and the researcher, and finally to touch upon the problems of experiencing movement and corporeality in the process of transition between the two identities. The boundaries between the identity of the fitness instructor and the researcher are transferred at various stages of body work and research. The transition is not always smooth, but ultimately it develops the consciousness and enriches the experience of the subject.
