they both wear around their necks? Whatever it is, the girls are on

Nineteenth-century writer Karl May wrote novels about a
fictionalized American Wild West that count among the most popular
books of German literature to this day. His stories left an imprint
on German culture, resulting in a variety of Wild West festivals
featuring Native Americans and frontier settlers. These Karl May
festivals are hosted widely throughout German-speaking countries
today. This book, based on years of fieldwork observing and
studying the festivals, plays, events, and groups that comprise
this subculture, addresses a larger, timely issue: cultural
transfer and appropriations. Are Germans dressing up in American
Indian costumes paying tribute or offending the cultures they are
representing? Avoiding simplistic answers, A. Dana Weber considers
the complexity of cultural enactments as they relate both to the
distinctly German phenomenon as well as to larger questions of
cultural representations in American and European live performance
traditions.
On the Internet, seekers investigate anonymous manifestos that
focus on the findings of brilliant scientists said to have
discovered pathways into alternate realities. Gathering on web
forums, researchers not only share their observations, but also
report having anomalous experiences, which they believe come from
their online involvement with these veiled documents. Seeming logic
combines with wild twists of lost Moorish science and pseudo-string
theory. Enthusiasts insist any obstacle to revelation is a sure
sign of great and wide-reaching efforts by consensus powers wishing
to suppress all the liberating truths in the Incunabula Papers
(included here in complete form).
In "Legend-Tripping Online," Michael Kinsella explores these and
other extraordinary pursuits. This is the first book dedicated to
legend-tripping, ritual quests in which people strive to explore
and find manifest the very events described by supernatural
legends. Through collective performances, legend-trippers harness
the interpretive frameworks these stories provide and often claim
incredible, out-of-this-world experiences that in turn perpetuate
supernatural legends.
Legends and legend-tripping are assuming tremendous prominence
in a world confronting new speeds of diversification, connection,
and increasing cognitive load. As guardians of tradition as well as
agents of change, legends and the ordeals they inspire
contextualize ancient and emergent ideas, behaviors, and
technologies that challenge familiar realities. This book analyzes
supernatural legends and the ways in which the sharing spirit of
the internet collectivizes, codifies, and makes folklore of
fantastic speculation.
An illuminating look at Native origins and lifeways, a treasure for
all who value Native wisdom and the stories that keep it alive.
