    This is the first study to examine in detail ritual objects known as ‘Lamak’, a fascinating and unique form of ephemeral material culture which is a prominent feature of Balinese creativity. A lamak is a long narrow ritual hanging that is an essential requirement at almost all rituals in Bali. It is hung from altars and shrines at temple festivals and on festive holy days. Made usually of palm leaves, it is by nature ephemeral and it is made time and again. Even though permanent forms of the lamak, made of cloth or coins, do exist, the ephemeral palm leaf form must be present. Sometimes reaching a length of several metres and decorated with a range of motifs, its most elaborate forms are made by specialist craftsmen and women. The lamak serves as base for offerings and attracts deities and deified ancestors to them. Decorative motifs representing sources of life are ordered according to Balinese concepts of the vertical structure of the cosmos. Best known among the motifs is the cili, a human figure in female form that symbolizes human fertility and regeneration. Through offerings and the active role of the lamak, worshippers offer thanks to their deities and request prosperity and protection. Despite decades of change and modernization that have affected all aspects of life in Bali, the essential role of the lamak has survived intact. Although there are many studies of Bali’s internationally appreciated arts and crafts, this is the first one to examine in detail this fascinating and unique form of ephemeral material culture which is a prominent feature of Balinese creativity. The study answers the question: why do Balinese make lamak and why do they continue to make them time and again? It examines the use and function of the lamak in ritual, the motifs that decorate them, the materials and techniques to make them, regional and individual styles, and processes of change and commercialization.

    The paper explores the meaning of conversion for African Christians in South Africa by looking at some of the indigenous terms that have populated the Christian vocabulary. The paper focuses on terms like ukuguquka, ukukholwa, ibandla, ikholwa, igqobhoka, inkonzo, and inkolo. These terms are found among people who speak Nguni languages. It shows how they were used in pre-Christian context and traces their evolution in Christian contexts. Research conducted in the Reformed Presbyterian Church, St John's Apostolic Faith Mission, and Methodist Churches in Cape Town between 1997 and 2001 has indicated that conversion was not a simple religious process but involved diverse political, economic and social aspects. Conversion involved a transformation of an African Christian identity from the margins to the centre. It also involved extensive negotiation of what it means to be Christian through the translation of Christian content into an African idiom. The paper goes through various terms and how their original meanings were discarded for new ones.

Kin Altruism Reconsidered -- Bibliography -- Index What were the consequences of Tolstoy’s unusual reliance on members of his family as source material for War and Peace? Did affection for close relatives influence depictions of these real prototypes in his fictional characters? Tolstoy used these models to consider his origins, to ponder alternative family histories, and to critique himself. Comparison of the novel and its fascinating drafts with the writer’s family history reveals increasing preferential treatment of those with greater relatedness to him: kin altruism, i.e., nepotism. This pattern helps explain many of Tolstoy’s choices amongst plot variants he considered, as well as some of the curious devices he utilizes to get readers to share his biases, such as coincidences, notions of “fate,” and aversion to incest

    In Nordic religious history, the god Balder appears not just as the shining God of Light but also as a ruthless warrior and half-human hero. At the same time, the fact that he is doomed to die is his most striking characteristic. This study brings together these contradictions for the first time, providing plausible reasons for them that go beyond narrative logics in mythical and ritual ideas of the body In der nordischen Religionsgeschichte nimmt der Gott Balder eine merkwürdig ambige Rolle ein. Keineswegs ist er ausschließlich der strahlende Lichtgott der Snorra Edda, der auf heimtückische Weise sein Leben verliert und damit den Untergang des ganzen Kosmos einläutet, die dänische Überlieferung kennt ihn vielmehr als den rücksichtslosen, lustgesteuerten, wenn auch im Ende gleichermaßen todesverfallenen Heroen. Trotz zahlreicher Interpretationszugänge ist es bis heute nicht gelungen, diese widersprüchliche Quellensituation in Einklang zu bringen. Vorliegende Arbeit versucht erstmals die Fragestellung zu wenden und vom Ergebnis her zu überlegen, in welchem mythischen Denkraum die Polysemien des Baldermythos jenseits narrativer Logiken nachgerade unhintergehbares strukturelles Kennzeichen wären: Es ist die Welt des Kults. Die bewusste Entscheidung für den transkulturellen religionswissenschaftlichen Vergleich wird dabei ebenso methodologisch thematisiert wie die Möglichkeiten neuerer und neuester kognitionswissenschaftlicher oder sprachtypologischer Zugänge. Sie ergänzen sich bei der Entschlüsselung prälogischer Körpercodes, die bekanntlich kaum Halt machen vor kulturellen wie disziplinären Grenzen heute wie vor Jahrzehntausenden

Kin Altruism Reconsidered -- Bibliography -- Index What were the consequences of Tolstoy’s unusual reliance on members of his family as source material for War and Peace? Did affection for close relatives influence depictions of these real prototypes in his fictional characters? Tolstoy used these models to consider his origins, to ponder alternative family histories, and to critique himself. Comparison of the novel and its fascinating drafts with the writer’s family history reveals increasing preferential treatment of those with greater relatedness to him: kin altruism, i.e., nepotism. This pattern helps explain many of Tolstoy’s choices amongst plot variants he considered, as well as some of the curious devices he utilizes to get readers to share his biases, such as coincidences, notions of “fate,” and aversion to incest

    In Nordic religious history, the god Balder appears not just as the shining God of Light but also as a ruthless warrior and half-human hero. At the same time, the fact that he is doomed to die is his most striking characteristic. This study brings together these contradictions for the first time, providing plausible reasons for them that go beyond narrative logics in mythical and ritual ideas of the body In der nordischen Religionsgeschichte nimmt der Gott Balder eine merkwürdig ambige Rolle ein. Keineswegs ist er ausschließlich der strahlende Lichtgott der Snorra Edda, der auf heimtückische Weise sein Leben verliert und damit den Untergang des ganzen Kosmos einläutet, die dänische Überlieferung kennt ihn vielmehr als den rücksichtslosen, lustgesteuerten, wenn auch im Ende gleichermaßen todesverfallenen Heroen. Trotz zahlreicher Interpretationszugänge ist es bis heute nicht gelungen, diese widersprüchliche Quellensituation in Einklang zu bringen. Vorliegende Arbeit versucht erstmals die Fragestellung zu wenden und vom Ergebnis her zu überlegen, in welchem mythischen Denkraum die Polysemien des Baldermythos jenseits narrativer Logiken nachgerade unhintergehbares strukturelles Kennzeichen wären: Es ist die Welt des Kults. Die bewusste Entscheidung für den transkulturellen religionswissenschaftlichen Vergleich wird dabei ebenso methodologisch thematisiert wie die Möglichkeiten neuerer und neuester kognitionswissenschaftlicher oder sprachtypologischer Zugänge. Sie ergänzen sich bei der Entschlüsselung prälogischer Körpercodes, die bekanntlich kaum Halt machen vor kulturellen wie disziplinären Grenzen heute wie vor Jahrzehntausenden
