Hula Dancers & Tiki Gods

November 13th, 2011

Product Description
The dream of pure freedom in the South Pacific islands has never died on the mainland; sometimes its more of an ache than a dream. Over time and through the mill of popular culture, the dream has been distilled into two enduring images: the hula dancer and the tiki god. This book displays over 500 color images of collectible hula dancers and tiki gods with which readers can have a little exotic fun and maybe catch a tropical thrill along the way. The hula dance provided an escape in its original culture, and here the dancers are shown in sections devoted to flat images, three-dimensions, crank girls, and Hollywoods versions from the twentieth century. The tiki gods that 1960s surfers wore for luck around their necks may have deeper meanings as well, and became the most important symbol of cool adulthood that mainland youngsters could imagine. Here lamps, figures, posters, and souvenirs all come together for entertainment and enjoyment. All dreamers of tropical pleasures will covet copies of this book to linger over. And the values guide will bring them quickly and happily back to reality.

Product Description
A SHORT DOCUMENTARY ABOUT DANCE, MUSIC AND RITUAL IN BALI
Our aim was not so much to inform on a rational level, but to make feel – and as spoken commentary often opresses the pictures and the music, we chose short subtitles, which are mostly quotations of cultural authorities (W.Spies, A.Artaud…), who have been busy with balinese culture and give their own impressions with sensitivity . The spectator is free to interprete intuitively, he is not dominated by an off commentary. Thus he is getting closer to the context of the film. Images and music speak for themselves…

The Day the Dancers Stayed: Performing in the Filipino/American Diaspora

July 16th, 2011

Product Description
Pilipino Cultural Nights at American campuses have been a rite of passage for youth culture and a source of local community pride since the 1980s. Through performances – and parodies of them – these celebrations of national identity through music, dance and theatrical narratives reemphasize what it means to be Filipino American. In “The Day the Dancers Stayed”, scholar and performer Theodore Gonzalves uses interviews and participant observer techniques to consider the relationship between the invention of performance repertoire and the development of diasporic identification. Gonzalves traces a genealogy of performance repertoire from the 1930s to the present. Culture nights serve several functions as exercises in nostalgia, celebrations of rigid community entertainment, and occasionally forums for political intervention. Taking up more recent parodies of Pilipino Cultural Nights, Gonzalves discusses how the rebellious spirit that enlivened the original seditious performances has been stifled.
