Extractions: The History and Mystery of Belly Dance This general style of female solo interpretive dance is known and appreciated all over the Arab world including Northern Africa. There is no formal choreography but instead a variety of characteristic movements with which to interpret the music and show mastery of the rhythm. In the villages of northern Africa, most women dance as a social activity, at weddings for example, in all-female groups. The character of this sensual dance style is different in the big cities; particularly in Egypt where the dance has reached its most highly developed form. Top dancers achieve the status of movie stars because of the prominence of the entertainment industry. Through discussion, slides and demonstration, Ms. Siegel, as "Habiba" will trace the long history of this dance. Attend this fascinating lecture and find out for yourself the skills needed for authentic belly dance. Ms. Barbara Siegel

Extractions: Understanding Narrative The Praise Song Cultural Borrowing Objects of Power ... In and Out of Context The second part of this introductory essay consists of conversations between the authors. Bourgeois and Rodolitz have team-taught a web-based course on this subject for more than five years utilizing a dialogue medium that lends itself to immediacy and informality. Essays in the usual sense speak TO the reader; dialogue, however, allows the reader to participate, if only in an imaginary sense. Additionally, in the medium of dialogue, the evolution of thought is more apparent than in an edited essay. Often, the journey to a conclusion is as important as the conclusion itself. The reader is encouraged to join in this ongoing exploration. AB: Why don't we begin by considering a group of related objects, not necessarily related by culture but by function?
ETHNIFICATION (I) Transnational movements of people are not of course particularly new and Indigenization Where there are indigenous populations within the state http://www2.hawaii.edu/~fredr/friedman.htm
Extractions: The title of this article may appear somewhat misleading insofar as it uses terms such as ethnification, transnationalization, etc. which would imply, from my standpoint, that it was a question of the modern world system. However, the research perspective which for which I shall be arguing would maintains a transhistorical global framework while modifying the terms that are related to what have been argued to be essentially modern phenomena. There are good reasons for attempting to maintain such a framework. The most important of these is that many of the problems, conflicts and tragedies of the contemporary world, or the world that is usually referred to in terms of modernity, in the classical sense of the post-enlightenment world, are issues that have a long history of repetition. I would go further and suggest as many others have also done, that a full understanding of what is happening in today's insecure existence in which "culture wars", and clashes of civilization abound can only be understood as a phenomenon that has occured before and whose mechanisms are not part of some recent "evolution". The analytical frame for this discussion is a global process model of hegemonic expansion and contraction (Friedman 1994). In periods of expansion a center establishes a dominant position in a larger established realm of control and becomes a focus of identification for the larger arena. The establishment of a global hegemony is thus the establishment of cultural dominance as well, either via homogenization or the ranking of differences. Hall discusses this in detail in his contribution to this issue. Contraction of a hegemonic center which is accompanied by the tendential rise of centers in new geographical areas in the midst of a period of political and economic fragmentation (increasing competition) is also a period of combined cultural renewal and dis-integration of the larger cultural whole.

Extractions: Educational Concepts Zenaida Quezada-Reyes Ethnicity refers to cultural (dialect, religion, traditions, etc.) and physical (skin color, body shape, etc.) characteristics used to classify people into (ethnic) groups or categories considered to be significantly different from others. Ethnicity is not a static phenomenon (Hall, 1997; Giordan, 1999;). Ethnic groups change through time in complex ways. Education, media, migration, colonialism and globalization are examples of processes that have changed individual and group identities. These processes seem to emphasize political and economic stratification. Thus, in a way make ethnicity class-based and politically-based. In all these instances, there seems to be two major emerging trends on how groups react to various processes: there are those who become assimilated in the mainstream culture and those that resist assimilation. Those belonging to certain groups may play a major role in the definition of group identities and in the maintenance of boundaries between groups. Ethnic groups who accept citizenship in the state where they are living are the assimilationist group and often buy the idea of ethnic diversity. Moreover, they aspire to be part of the Great Tradition.

Extractions: Sale 8029 Lot 22, "Flute-stopper Male Figure," New Guinea, Lower Sepik River, Yuat River, Biwat, 18 ½ inches high By Carter B. Horsley Once again Sotheby's has put its Pre-Columbian Art auction into the same catalogue as its African and Oceanic Art auction. See the separate article on the Pre-Columbian Art auction that occurs at 2PM November 11, 2004. This morning auction November 11, 2004 at Sotheby's of African and Oceanic Art is highlighted by a spectacular flute-stopper from New Guinea, a magnificent Yoruba Ram's Head Altarpiece, an impressive Benin bracelet, and a Kongo power figure. Oceanic Art Lot 22 is a magnificent flute-stopper in the form of a male figure with a fabulous feathered headdress from the Lower Sepik River, Yuat River, Biwat region of New Guinea. According to the catalogue entry for this lot, the Biwat carved "elaborate sacred flutes, haiyang, sometimes up to eight to ten feet in length." "Aggressively stanced figures such as this," it continued, "were inserted at the top of the flute when not it use. It was these flutes which the Biwat themselves considered their most important and sacred objects. Their social, ceremonial and religious significance was tremendous. Although several cults existed, these figures are often considered to be the children of the mother crocodile spirit, a powerful being that performed creative deeds in primeval times and let initiates be reborn by symbolically swallowing and throwing out the candidates."
