The Snake Charmer
"The Snake Charmer is a short ethnographic documentary outlining thefamily history and magical roots of a group of nomadic Rajasthani snake charmers, or Madari, living in rural Gujarat, northwest India. These scenes were shot in the summer of 2005 on the outskirts of the town of Dhrangadhra, Gujarat. The Madari live in tents on the edge of town, in an enclave known as Vadipara, or "snake charmers' alley." Despite the abolition of the caste system after the establishment of the Republic of India in 1947, the snake charmers remain on the fringes of Hindu society; they belong to the "Madari Varna", a sub-caste of the Untouchable caste. This video was produced, directed, photographed, and edited by Alex Goldblum as part of coursework in the Visual Anthropology program of Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. The principal ethnographer on the project was Dr. Jayasinhji "Bapa" Jhala, a native-son of the Kingdom of Halvad-Dhrangadhra, in the modern Indian state of Gujarat."

Attention! Ne consultez surtout PAS les archives des mois précédents! En effet, je publie tant d'articles par jour que le contenu d'un mois est énorme, et de consulter un mois passé risque de faire crasher votre ordinateur. Utilisez plutôt la fonction "rechercher" et "sur le blog" tout en haut de la page ou la fonction "Search this blog" de Technorati dans la colonne de droite; ou mieux encore, utilisez la fonction "CATEGORIES" qui se trouve dans la colonne de droite. Je suis en train de travailler sur une éventuelle solution pour les archives mensuelles.
Caution! Do NOT consult the archives of past months! Indeed, I post so much every day that the content of any given month is enormous, and to consult any previous month could cause your browser or even your computer to crash. Better use the "search this blog" function - either at the top of the page or the Technorati one in the right-hand column. Better still, you could also consult the "CATEGORIES" in the right-hand column. I am currently working on a possible solution for the monthly archives.
