"For over 150 years, Tlingit women artists have beaded colorful, intricately beautiful designs on moccasins, dolls, octopus bags, tunics, and other garments. Painful Beauty suggests that at a time when Indigenous cultural practices were actively being repressed, beading supported cultural continuity, demonstrating Tlingit women's resilience, strength, and power. Beadwork served many uses, from the ceremonial to the economic, as women created beaded pieces for community use and to sell to tourists. Like other Tlingit art, beadwork reflects rich artistic visions with deep connections to the environment, clan histories, and Tlingit worldviews. Contemporary Tlingit artists Alison Bremner, Chloe French, Shgen Doo Tan George, Lily Hudson Hope, Tanis S'eiltin, and Larry McNeil foreground the significance of historical beading practices in their diverse, boundary-pushing artworks. Working with museum collection materials, photographs, archives, and interviews with artists and elders, Megan Smetzer reframes this often overlooked artform as a site of historical negotiations and contemporary inspirations. She shows how beading gave Tlingit women the freedom to innovate aesthetically, assert their clan crests and identities, support tribal sovereignty, and pass on cultural knowledge. Painful Beauty is the first dedicated study of Tlingit beadwork and contributes to the expanding literature addressing women's artistic expressions on the Northwest Coast"--

Les sites archéologiques de la vallée de l'Indus en témoignent : l'artisanal des perles en cornaline remonte à plusieurs millénaires. De nos jours, il se pratique encore dans quelques rares endroits comme en Inde dans la ville de Cambay (Gujarat) qui offre au chercheur une occasion unique de construire des référentiels. Dans ce but, des méthodes d'enquête appropriées ont été élaborées. Elles aboutissent à des régies interprétatives portant sur les processus techniques, les habiletés de taille, le techno-système. Il s'ensuit une interprétation des perles de l'Indus et de la Mésopotamie en termes de production et de réseaux de distribution. Interprétations fondées qui permettent de nouvelles hypothèses sur la fonction de certaines perles et sur les conditions de leur apparition. L'ouvrage est accompagné d'un cédérom (Mac-PC). La totalité des constructions scientifiques y est présentée selon un mode d'édition qui permet une lecture rapide des résultats ainsi que la consultation d'une très importante base de données (photos, films, graphiques, tableaux). The archaeological sites of the Indus Valley show that the craft of carnelian bead-making goes back several thousands of years. 'Ibday it is still racticed in a few rare places, such as the Indian city of Cambay (Gujarat), ofiering a unique opportunity for researchers to construct a modern reference base. With this objective in mind, appropriate investigative methods were developed. They have resulted in interpretative rules relating to technical processes, knapping skills, and the teclmo-system. These rules enable us to interpret the beadsfrom Indus and Mesopotamia in terms of production and distribution networks. These welltfounded interpretations allow the formulation of new hypotheses concerning thefitnction of certain beads and the conditions of their appearance. This book comes with a PC /Mac compatible CD-Rom. Scientific constntcts are presented in aformalized wayfin quick access to the main results as well as…
