European Ethnology - University Of Turku
The central themes of research carried out by the ethnology section of the ethnology deals with the phenomena, character and changing nature of culture
http://www.hum.utu.fi/kansatiede/eng/

Extractions: The central themes of research carried out by the Ethnology section of the Department is everyday life, i.e. the culture in which people live and into which they have been acculturated whether from birth or later in life. Ethnology deals with the phenomena, character and changing nature of culture and also the bonds of meaning that exist between people and their environment. Thus culture is viewed through both a physical and a mental dimension. Over the decades the research perspective has widened from that of surveying and describing peasant culture to include the fundamental issues of ethnicity and identity, the relationship between a person's source of livelihood and lifestyle or the experience and interpretation of the urban environment. The themes of teaching and the issues studied vary from two-roomed cottages to the patterns of integration displayed by immigrants. Here the focus is on phenomena in Finland and in the Baltic Sea region in general. However, the comparative approach brings in cultural phenomena from the rest of the Europe, and many of the
Revue De L'ACEF
EnglishFrench bilingual journal disseminating knowledge about activities concerning folklore and ethnology, in Canada and elsewhere.
http://www.fl.ulaval.ca/celat/acef/revue.htm

Extractions: The Folklore Studies Association of Canada has published the journal Canadian Folklore Canadien since 1979. This bilingual journal is intended to disseminate knowledge about activities concerning folklore and ethnology, in Canada and elsewhere, through the publication of articles, book reviews, notes, and other information pertaining to research and academic inquiry in all branches of folklore. At the 1998 annual general meeting, the membership of the Folklore Studies Association of Canada voted to change the name of its journal from Canadian Folklore canadien to Ethnologies. The membership felt strongly that the new name reflected the journal's concern for materials beyond the most traditional scope of "folklore" and our interest in a broader range of cultural artifacts and expressive forms. The membership's commitment to recognising the very negative implications of the term "folklore" among Francophone colleagues, because of its exclusively Anglo origin and overdetermined associations with the archaic and colonial. The new name, Ethnologies, is a more accurate indication of the journal's contents and perspectives.

MONTE ALBAN
Includes an illustrated tour.
http://www.sfu.ca/archaeology/museum/laarch/tour/monte/monte1.html

Extractions: WELCOME TO MONTE ALBAN Monte Alban is located in the present state of Oaxaca, Mexico, just outside of Oaxaca City. Monte Alban emerged as the center of political authority in the Valley of Oaxaca around 400 B.C., because it commanded the best terrain in the valley for agriculture and dense settlement. The city developed as a ceremonial center over several hundred years, from 500 BC to 700 AD. The Zapotecs ruled Monte Alban throughout this time, but there was significant cultural contact with Teotihucan in the center of Mexico. The collapse of Monte Alban is suggested to be linked with the collapse of Teotihucan, perhaps due to loss of an important trading partner. Though Monte Alban collapsed, the Zapotec culture remains just as distinctive today. Religious worship at Monte Alban was based on ancestor worship and a pantheon of gods. The pottery figure seen here is Xipe Totec from one of the tombs at Monte Alban. Xipe is the flayed god associated with human sacrifice. This god is present among many of the Mesoamerican cultures, including Teotihucan and the Aztecs. After the abandonment of Monte Alban by the Zapotecs, the Mixtecs moved into the Valley, resulting in conlifts between the two cultures which lasted until Spanish Conquest. The Mixtecs utilized Monte Alban tombs for their dead, though they did not occupy the site. The gold pendant shown here is from a Monte Alban tomb dating to the beginning of the 1400s. The pendent represents Mictllanteuhtli, the 'Lord of Death', recognizable by his fleshless jaws.

Palenque
Includes an illustrated tour.
http://www2.sfu.ca/archaeology/museum/laarch/tour/palenque/palenque.html

Extractions: PALENQUE Palenque is a Maya ceremonial center built in the modern state of Chiapas, Mexico. It is part of the frontier region of the Classic Maya renowned for its architecture and rich history of rulers. Palenque's history began on March 11, A.D. 431, according to the heiroglyphic texts. The main construction phase began in the 7th century and lasted until about 810 AD. No one knows why the Maya civilization collapsed, but clearly there was a progressive abandonment, and Palenque was one of the first major centers to be given back to the jungle. The physical isolation of Palenque emphasizes the magnificence of its buildings, and the delicacy of the stucco ornamentation. In this way Palenque was unique among the Mayan cities. Two rulers at Palenque, Pacal and Chan-Bahlum, were responsible for the majority of construction. Their ancestry and accomplishments are immortalized in the temples and palaces, as well in the glyphs and stucco tablets adorning the temples. Maya history is recorded in glyph writing, such as seen in the background of these pages, and in the visual artwork of the tablets, such as the image on the right. The Palenque rulers were priest-kings and military rulers that claimed divine descent. Palenque had twelve such rulers, Pacal and Chan-Bahlum being the most remarkable. Pacal, whose name translates to "Shield", is seen on the tablet to the left receiving the divine crownship from his mother, Lady Zac Kuk, who served for short time as ruler. Pacal claimed the throne through his mother by proclaiming she was the mother deity of the three major gods of Maya religion. He did this to override the tradition that descent to the throne can only be achieved through the male line. In the tablet we see Lady Zac Kuk passing the crown to Pacal who is seated on the Double-headed Jaguar Throne. The glyphs in the tablet have the names of the participants, and the explanation of Pacal's accession to the throne. Toward the end of his reign Pacal constructed the Temple of Inscriptions, a masterpiece of Maya architecture, under which his tomb lies. Pacal reigned for 67 years, and was succeeded by his son, Chan-Bahlum ("Snake Jaguar").
