LOS RITOS DE PASO
ARNOLD VAN GENNEP

Producto de la aplicación por parte de ARNOLD VAN GENNEP del método comparado y de la síntesis etnográfica, LOS RITOS DE PASO, publicado en 1909, supuso un hito en el campo de la antropología y de las ciencias sociales. La expresión que le da título, así como el término 'liminaridad’, pasaron a acuñar conceptos que en lo sucesivo hicieron fortuna. En las sociedades tradicionales los ritos de paso marcan la socialización de las transiciones más importantes en la vida humana, como el nacimiento, la iniciación, el matrimonio y la muerte, y contribuyen a preservar la estabilidad de la sociedad regulando la posición del individuo en su seno. Si bien con el tiempo la obra de Van Gennep ha sido objeto de debates y objeciones, constituye, como toda obra seminal, una baliza imprescindible para el estudioso y para todo aquel que sienta interés por la naturaleza de la sociedad humana.

This knife from Papua New Guinea is an example of the use of shark teeth in weaponry, a phenomenon across the Asia-Pacific region.

The discovery of two perforated shark teeth on Sulawesi suggests even the inland Toalean hunter-gatherers used them.

Our staff has been answering the question "what is that?" for visitors when they enter the Music Room during our holiday event- what is that, indeed!? As the shape of the object suggests, it is a musical instrument called a "serpent." The serpent is a low-pitched early wind instrument in the brass family developed in the Renaissance era, and is a distant ancestor of the tuba and to the cornett. Made of wood, leather, and brass, the instrument was initially invented by Canon Edmé Guillaume c.1590 to help enhance men's voices during liturgical chants in churches. It has a powerful tone, sonorous voice, and wide dynamic range which make it particularly suited to ecclesiastical settings. The instrument is played through lip vibration and the mouthpiece is usually made of ivory, wood, or horn. The serpent in Ringwood Manor's collection dates to the early 19th century, was made in France, and was once part of a large musical instrument collection that Edward Ringwood Hewitt (1866-1957) acquired during his lifetime. If it were to be stretched back out straight, the serpent would be nearly seven feet long!

Born in 1928, Helen Frankenthaler was one of the most influential of the Abstract Expressionist artists of the mid-twentieth century. Acclaimed throughout her career, she broke through the male-dominated upper echelons of the art world in the 1950s, largely through her creation of Color Field and “soak-staining.” https://bit.ly/41746dL
