Senses of spring: Local enactments of the Valborg bonfire festival in Sweden
No full textValborgsmässoafton (St. Valborg\u27s Mass Eve), or Valborg, is a nationally observed calendar custom in Sweden which marks the beginning of spring with communal gatherings, bonfires, speeches, songs, special dress, and fireworks. It is simultaneously local and national, since its enactments take place in local neighborhoods and town gatherings all over Sweden virtually at once. But it is “national” only as a sum total of prevalent local enactments. Field data from tape-recorded interviews with ritual participants and the author\u27s participant-observation show heterogeneity and multiplicity of meaning, whereas the calendar custom heretofore has been studied mainly in an idealized or typified way. The field site is a cluster of neighborhoods in Umeå, a northern town distant from national cultural and political centers in central and southern Sweden. Though ritually prescribed in structure and influenced by national models, the ways in which Swedes in Umeå celebrate Valborg are emergent and contingent on issues of gender, age, and class consciousness. They are also characterized by participants\u27 views of nature and the localized symbolic environment around the bonfire. The human senses bring out the intensified experiential aspects central to the festival\u27s performance and key to its ideational process. Large human themes regarding the influence of history on the present, views of the future, change, social relationships, the links between local and national identities, and environmentalism are ritually encoded and thereby given order in the localized festive gathering
The tyranny of history the roots of China's crisis
No full textOver a quarter of the human race lives within the borders of China, the empire that has outlasted all its rivals from the Roman to the British. But, claims the author of this sweeping and provocative study, the Chinese empire is in terminal crisis, a crisis that goes much deeper than the decline of the current regime and threatens the survival both of China as a unified state and of the high tradition and culture that span more than three thousand years. According toProfessor Jenner, China has been both held together and held back by the tyranny of its history, by a culture and an education system that have always looked back, have rooted authority in the past and have inhibited creative thinking. Although in this century the orthodoxy has borrowed the language of Marxism, 'revolutionary' history has contrived to celebrate the authoritarian values of the imperial bureaucracy and the single orthodox tradition of pre-revolutionaryChina. The tyranny of China's past is not simply a matter of history and politics, however, but derives equally from the Chinese writing system, which is inherently authoritarian, and the Chinese family, which inhibits both individuality and a sense of citizenship and provides the building blocks of the autocratic state. The very successes of pre-modern China's productive technology have left the present with an ecological nightmare that recent economic growth has onl
