Описание книги

Textiles provide a visual history of a country's culture and crafting traditions in a way few other things can accomplish. In <i>Textiles of Southeast Asia</i>, Dr. Robyn Maxwell provides the definitive work on Southeast Asian textiles.<br><br>Traditional textiles are one of the most widely collected and important categories of Southeast Asian art. Using an extensive range of locally produced raw materials and an astonishing array of techniques&#8212;including applique, weaving, batik and embroidery&#8212;the textiles of Southeast Asia are astonishing in their versatility and originality. Textiles are used to fashion everything from everyday clothing to sacred and ceremonial costumes, shrouds and wrapping cloths, hangings, banners and ritual regalia&#8212;all of which are represented and explained in <i>Textiles of Southeast Asia</i>.<br><br>This authoritative text focuses on the changing relationship between indigenous Southeast Asian traditions and the outside influences continuing to be brought to the area, which change the nature of the region's textile traditions. This book considers the various ways Southeast Asian textile artisans reacted over the centuries to the steady stream of new and powerful ideas and raw materials arriving from India, China, the Islamic world and Europe. A detailed and definitive resource, <i>Textiles of Southeast Asia</i> is a welcome addition to the field of textiles.

These long skirts of southern Lembata are no longer prominent as women's ceremonial costume. Nevertheless, the red-brown textiles are still highly valued items in the circulation of bride-wealth that accompanies marriage and other rites of passage, particularly funerals. At such ceremonial gatherings the participants restate their kinship alliances through appropriate male and female gifts. Skirts intended for marriage gifts must be worked only in handspun cotton and natural dyes. Since these valued textiles are stored between use, rarely worn, and never washed, bright but fugitive colours - such as the turmeric yellows and greens, and pale unsaturated pinks and blues - are frequently included. The patterning of the central field is a sign of the weaver's clan membership and the motifs are drawn from family heirlooms. The banded borders include the giant ray (mokum) and the boat with paddles (tena). These are important symbols in the coastal whaling community of Lamalera, and indicate that this cloth was probably woven there. Mid-twentieth century
