    The Sa'dan-Toraja

    Get PDF
    The present volume consists of two parts, Part I dealing with the natural surroundings and the social and territorial organization of the Sa'dan-Toraja, Part 11 with religious notions, natural and material symbols, and priestly organization. Volume 11, which will hopefully appear in due time, will contain a description of Sa'dan-Toraja rituals, those associated with the East in Part 111, and those with the West in Part IV

    Spaces of Care - Confronting Colonial Afterlives in European Ethnographic Museums

    Get PDF
    Alarming environmental shifts and disasters have raised public awareness and anxieties regarding the future of the planet. While planetary in scale, the negative effects of this global crisis are distributed unequally, affecting some of the already most fragile communities most intensely, thus contributing to rising global inequality. The pairing of environmental crises and a sense of inadequacy facing hitherto celebrated models of citizenry informs a current spirit of the times. The contributors to this volume place ethnographic or world cultures museums at the centre of these debates - these museums have been embroiled in longstanding debates about their histories, collections, and practices in relation to the colonial past

    Lilo i Kapa - Transformation and continuity in early-nineteenth century Hawaiian Kapa, 1810-1850

    “Lilo i Kapa - Transformation and Continuity in Early-Nineteenth Century Hawaiian Kapa, 1810-1850” re-examines the early-nineteenth century as a period of kapa resilience and creativity, a stark contrast from previous literature that has deemed the period as one of kapa disappearance and decline. This art-historical study looks at changes and continuity of Hawaiian self-presentation with kapa (how individuals intentionally construct themselves in a way to be seen by a larger community), even as Hawaiian kapu (prohibitions) around dress altered and as foreign clothing from merchants and missionaries arrived onshore. I identify and describe previously unrecognised genres of kapa created during the nineteenth century that use imported materials in their creation (e.g. scissors, dyes), reflect new types of clothing (e.g. dresses, bonnets) and include hand-drawn designs that imitate foreign cloth (e.g. paisley, plaid). The methodological approach used in this project utilises both Hawaiian and English-language sources to contextualise surviving examples of nineteenth-century kapa in museum collections in Hawaiʻi and the continental United States. This approach of bringing multilingual textual and material sources together provides new research that both contemporary kapa practitioners and museums may find compelling and useful to understanding the trajectory of kapa making over time

    The Genomic and Immune Landscapes of Lethal Metastatic Breast Cancer.

    The detailed molecular characterization of lethal cancers is a prerequisite to understanding resistance to therapy and escape from cancer immunoediting. We performed extensive multi-platform profiling of multi-regional metastases in autopsies from 10 patients with therapy-resistant breast cancer. The integrated genomic and immune landscapes show that metastases propagate and evolve as communities of clones, reveal their predicted neo-antigen landscapes, and show that they can accumulate HLA loss of heterozygosity (LOH). The data further identify variable tumor microenvironments and reveal, through analyses of T cell receptor repertoires, that adaptive immune responses appear to co-evolve with the metastatic genomes. These findings reveal in fine detail the landscapes of lethal metastatic breast cancer.CRUK
