Hardcover. Condizione: New. This collection of essays deals with the rituals of kingship and royalty in India, Africa and Europe from the social anthropological and ethno­historical points of view. It discusses the dialectical entanglements of rituals conducted for and by kings (including, 'little kings' and 'jungle kings') with the wider social, political, cultural, historical, religious and economic contexts in which they were embedded. Part I begins with a triangular comparison of kingship among the Shilluks of East Africa, the Gajapatis of eastern India and kings in Renaissance France. The essay entitled the 'King's Three Bodies' makes use of Ernst H. Kantorowicz's classical study, The King's Two Bodies in medieval political theology and extends it, not only in terms of the numbers of bodies that are found to be significant, but also theo­retically. Another significant essay in this part looks at the unexpected but significant theoretical impact of social anthropological studies of acephalous, segmentary lineage societies in Africa on Indian historiography. The second part of this volume consists of three chapters dealing with the royal patronage of tribal and Hindu goddesses in Eastern India, while the third part presents studies on sleeping (and dreaming) kings and on the power of dead kings, a discussion of A.M. Hocart's dictum that the first kings must have been dead kings.…

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. This book is about a Small Island, namely Mauritius in the southwestern Indian Ocean. It is also about a Large Ocean, the Indian Ocean world its peoples, histories and cultures. It casts down a light on the life of an island through what is known not only about the island itself, but also through what is known about the wider Indian Ocean world. It is also about the Indian Ocean world in that it focuses on an island, which, in many senses and dimensions, is not only a model of, but in some respects also a model for wider developments and features of relevance to the Indian Ocean world as a whole. Chapter one provides some basic background information, on first the island itself, and secondly, on the ocean in question. This introductory chapter concludes with some remarks on Indian Ocean Studies more generally and on the methodological question of how to study an ocean. Chapter two deals with the issue of islandness, and looks closer at the overall world of Indian Ocean islands. Chapter three investigates piracy in the South-Western Indian Ocean from around 1680 to 1750, while Chapter four addresses the issue of epidemic diseases that have violently influenced the history of Mauritius from the start of its settlement.
