Once Upon a Time Across the World Nakari Speardane 2021-08-21 | People all over the world tell stories, and different languages have different ways to introduce those stories. And there are patterns in these methods!A couple notes:For why seven is a ~mystical number, this video has some interesting stuff in the end half: youtube.com/watch?v=vpRd52dXHlQ&ab_channel=It%27sOkayToBeSmartDefinition of folktale is... difficult. I've gone with what sounded best and seemed to fit best with the kinds of stories these phrases are used for. Like, you get "Once upon a time" for things like Goldilocks, but not really for stories about Merlin, cause that's closer tied to history/real locations. And some cultures just don't seem to see stories in this way, or don't have a set stock phrase, so they aren't here. But I didn't want to talk about this for too long :PYou might notice there are ads now - I'm figuring out what I want to do with monetization/how much it's worth it. Half of whatever I make from this video, for at least the next month, will go to sola-afghanistan.org, an Afghan school for girls. It's probably not gonna be much but it'll be something :PPatreon: patreon.com/nakarispeardaneSources:blogs.scientificamerican.com/literally-psyched/the-power-of-once-upon-a-time-a-story-to-tame-the-wild-thingstheguardian.com/books/2019/apr/19/here-is-a-story-story-it-is-how-fairytales-are-told-in-other-tonguestheparisreview.org/blog/2018/05/23/once-upon-a-time-and-other-formulaic-folktale-flourisheshttp://www.chitrasoundar.com/story-startersforum.wordreference.com/threads/once-upon-a-time-beginning-of-a-fairy-tale.2225755reddit.com/r/AskEurope/comments/brderk/what_is_the_translation_of_and_they_lived_happilyforum.duolingo.com/comment/30478921?comment_id=30478939usaid.gov/somalia/news/next-generation-storytellersqz.com/work/1298571/stories-literally-put-our-brain-waves-in-synchistoryofyesterday.com/the-history-behind-once-upon-a-time-1d2eba810dccforum.wordreference.com/threads/they-lived-happily-ever-after-the-end-of-a-fairy-tale.2225730https://college.holycross.edu/projects/himalayan_cultures/2011_plans/ddemerau/scripts.html+ replies and comments on these Twitter threads:twitter.com/NomeDaBarbarian/status/1407554571786883078twitter.com/csoundar/status/1114461222336913410Village Ambiance by Alexander NakaradaLink: filmmusic.io/song/6586-village-ambianceLicense: filmmusic.io/standard-licensepixabay.com/photos/shell-fossil-old-ancient-stone-219665flickr.com/photos/gesika22/4089936494upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1b/FraMauroDetailedMap.jpghttp://expositions.bnf.fr/arthur/grand/ars_3142_256.htmflickr.com/photos/hunky_punk/21014221984

The Elush Kinship System(s) | Worldbuilding Nakari Speardane 2021-02-20 | As promised, kinship and the Elush!(You might wonder: if people can't enter a house they weren't born in, how can they split house? There are rituals with skeletons and dogs that I didn't want to put here, but might appear in another video :P )For more on how matriarchal families like this work in real life, I'd recommend the book "A Society Without Fathers or Husbands" about the Na/Mosuo people of China, or just any articles about them really!My Patreon: patreon.com/nakarispeardaneMusic:“Noto no koto”, robwalkerpoet - http://ccmixter.org/files/robwalkerpoet/45767“Maestro Tlakaekel”, Jesse GallagherMy Patreon: patreon.com/nakarispeardane
Kinship Systems Nakari Speardane 2021-01-23 | Time for some linguistics AND anthropology! Kinship systems are basically what terms people use for family members and why, and of course different societies have different strategies for this.I'm only talking about the basic ones, and other systems are also super interesting! But I think breaking down what makes the basic ones tick is useful especially for worldbuilders. Next video will have a bit of putting this into practice.There are lots of resources for this, but for more detail I'd recommend umanitoba.ca/faculties/arts/anthropology/tutor/kinterms/termsys.html - it's got a few examples of systems in practise too.My Patreon: patreon.com/nakarispeardaneVillage Ambiance by Alexander NakaradaLink: filmmusic.io/song/6586-village-ambianceLicense: filmmusic.io/standard-license
Building the World from Within Nakari Speardane 2020-11-28 | Next stop on the Elush world history tour: the Palaeolithic, via archaeological theory!I’ve been reading about how people construct their worlds from the inside. It’s kinda weird and interesting to look at the world around you and see how much is natural and how much is a layer of human choice or consciousness. Even if you go to a ‘natural’ space, often it’s left natural by human choice, and your understanding of it will be shaped by human constructs… there is no escape ;-;Patreon:patreon.com/nakarispeardaneSources:Colin Renfrew, The Emergence of Civilization, 1972https://archeologie.culture.fr/chauvet/enhttps://archeologie.culture.fr/lascaux/endavidneat.wordpress.com/arts-origins/the-origins-of-artistic-expression-part-1-things-looking-like-other-thingshttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/871930.stmMusic:Garden Music by Kevin MacLeodLink: filmmusic.io/song/3796-garden-musicLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0freesound.org/people/markb/sounds/95490freesound.org/people/sagetyrtle/sounds/62487Photos:davidneat.wordpress.com/arts-origins/the-origins-of-artistic-expression-part-1-things-looking-like-other-thingsen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bison_Licking_Insect_Bitecommons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:NL-RedOchre.pngflickr.com/photos/pamontgo/39469181785flickr.com/photos/dalbera/30146996994flickr.com/photos/mathowie/271896770flickr.com/photos/186236561@N02/49978087393flickr.com/photos/jannem/2917429977flickr.com/photos/26781577@N07/29526104131metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/325858metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/323735metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/815448metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/324145metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/324147metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/324153metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/324151metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/324152

Different Ways to Develop Colour Nakari Speardane 2020-07-18 | The basic colour term theory is good.

A Life in a Jar | Worldbuilding Nakari Speardane 2020-06-13 | So, following on from my other video about pottery... here's a little snippet of how pottery plays a role in Elush society!This has some influence from Susan Lape's "Race and Citizen Identity in the Classical Athenian Democracy" - particularly how believing you're born from the earth itself can reinforce barriers on identity.
