·Multiple voices and mediums locate the island within its larger geographical space, giving Sri Lanka a unique voice in the global artistic community·Bringing attention to Sri Lanka's contacts with the European world·Of interest to students and enthusiasts of Asian art and interesecting cultureThis anthology of essays devoted to Sri Lanka's art histories, showcases current research into the island's diverse artistic traditions. Ranging from the ancient city of Anuradapura to the contemporary art scene, this volume highlights the art histories that connect local, regional and global art worlds. Expanding the canon beyond the standard Sinhala-Buddhist narrative, the writers attend to the subtle and complex processes of connectedness that embed Sri Lanka's art histories in various transnational moments. They also pay attention to producers and patrons by attending closely to the visual surfaces of various forms and mediums. At times the writers approach the artistic traditions of the island from the outside; at other times they consider them from the inside, locating the island's artistic heritages in the dialectical relationship between national traditions and connected cultures. This intervention is but a first step in rethinking the art histories of the island.

Like toddlers all over the world, Sri Lankan children go through a period that in the U.S. is referred to as the “terrible twos.” Yet once they reach elementary school age, they appear uncannily passive, compliant, and undemanding compared to their Western counterparts. Clearly, these children have undergone some process of socialization, but what? Over ten years ago, anthropologist Bambi Chapin traveled to a rural Sri Lankan village to begin answering this question, getting to know the toddlers in the village, then returning to track their development over the course of the following decade. Childhood in a Sri Lankan Village offers an intimate look at how these children, raised on the tenets of Buddhism, are trained to set aside selfish desires for the good of their families and the community. Chapin reveals how this cultural conditioning is carried out through small everyday practices, including eating and sleeping arrangements, yet she also explores how the village’s attitudes and customs continue to evolve with each new generation. Combining penetrating psychological insights with a rigorous observation of larger social structures, Chapin enables us to see the world through the eyes of Sri Lankan children searching for a place within their families and communities. Childhood in a Sri Lankan Village offers a fresh, global perspective on child development and the transmission of culture.    

The civil war between the Sri Lankan state and Tamil militants, which ended in 2009, lasted more than three decades and led to mass migration, mainly to India, Canada, England, and continental Europe. In Marrying for a Future, Sidharthan Maunaguru argues that the social institution of marriage has emerged as a critical means of building alliances between dispersed segments of Tamil communities, allowing scattered groups to reunite across national borders. Maunaguru explores how these fragmented communities were rekindled by connections fostered by key participants in and elements of the marriage process, such as wedding photographers, marriage brokers, legal documents, and transit places.Marrying for a Future contributes to transnational and diaspora marriage studies by looking at the temporary spaces through which migrants and refugees travel in addition to their home and host countries. It provides a new conceptual framework for studies on kinship and marriage and addresses a community that has been separated across borders as a result of war.

In the tradition of Maus, Persepolis, Palestine, and The Breadwinner, Vanni is a graphic novel documenting the human side of the conflict between the Sri Lankan government and the “Tamil Tigers.” Told from the perspective of a single family, it takes readers through the otherwise unimaginable struggles, horrors, and life-changing decisions families and individuals are forced to make when caught up in someone else’s war.Set in Vanni, the northern region of Sri Lanka that was devastated by the civil war, this graphic novel follows the Ramachandran family as they flee their home after the 2004 tsunami and move from one displacement camp to the next, seeking an ever-elusive safe haven and struggling to keep each other alive. Inspired by Benjamin Dix’s experience working in Sri Lanka for the United Nations during the war, Vanni draws on more than four years of meticulous research, official reports, and first-hand interviews with refugees. It depicts heroic acts of kindness and horrific acts of violence, memorializing the experiences of the Tamil civilians against the forces that seek to erase their memory.Elegantly drawn by Lindsay Pollock, this exceptionally moving graphic novel portrays the personal experiences of modern warfare, the process of forced migration, and the struggles of seeking asylum in Europe.

From numerous research trips to Sri Lanka it became apparent that sermons and preaching are ubiquitous and contain rare insights into Buddhist education and practice.... The core of this present study is a set of three sermons ... recorded... in the late 1990s. I began by looking into the current state of scholarship regarding Buddhist sermons, which became the first part of my study, the academic context for the for the 3 sermons. I have devoted the second part of my study to analysis and critique of [Buddhist sermon studies by Peter] Schalk. The third chapter... describes the ritual (funeral) context of the sermons. Finally the sermons themselves are given in [romanized] transcript and translation.

The socio-political transformation of Sri Lanka that began in the 1970s, and continued for several decades thereafter, has been a major factor in shaping a literature that brought new and innovative forms of expression. This anthology brings together around forty poems, fifteen short stories, and one play in translation by eminent Sri Lankan literateurs, scholars, and translators dealing with Sri Lankan life at home and abroad spanning a period of sixty years. Voicing the agony, anxiety, and hardship of migration from different perspectives, this broadly representative collection is an important contribution to the study of exile literature.

Samanth Subramanian has written about politics, culture, and history for the New York Times and the New Yorker. Now, Subramanian takes on a complex topic that touched millions of lives in This Divided Island. In the summer of 2009, the leader of the dreaded Tamil Tiger guerrillas was killed, bringing to an end the civil war in Sri Lanka. For nearly thirty years, the war's fingers had reached everywhere, leaving few places, and fewer people, untouched. What happens to the texture of life in a country that endures such bitter conflict? What happens to the country's soul? Subramanian gives us an extraordinary account of the Sri Lankan war and the lives it changed. Taking us to the ghosts of summers past, he tells the story of Sri Lanka today. Through travels and conversations, he examines how people reconcile themselves to violence, how the powerful become cruel, and how victory can be put to the task of reshaping memory and burying histories.

The Hale Bopp scented candle by Tiziana Terenzi fragrance opens with a persuasive, biting composition of spices, in which echoes of nutmeg from the Moluccan Islands and Sri Lankan cinnamon are lashed by the energizing force of bitter Sicilian lemon. The aromas of African geranium combined with the Tuscan sage are supported by the regal force of red patchouli from India and vanilla from Tahiti. This combination is grounded on the majestic, gentle strength of Indonesian sandalwood and Tuscan musk, combined. Womens - Beauty > Saks Off 5th. Tiziana Terenzi.
