	Postcolonial Literature: A Backgrounder (Part Two) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Homi K. Bhabha, as Deepika Bahri points out, argues that hybridity "subverts the narratives of colonial power and dominant cultures." Bahri continues, "The series of inclusions and exclusions on which a dominant culture is premised are deconstructed by the very entry of the formerly-excluded subjects into mainstream discourse."
		Therefore, with the acceptance of cultural hybridity and syncreticism that have taken place in postcolonial societies, colonized peoples are able to affirm a status of equality based on their cultural differences.
		The post-colonial world is one which destructive cultural encounter is changing to an acceptance of difference on equal terms.

	INTAKT RECORDS Barry Guy. London Jazz Composers Orchestra. Theoria. Piano: Irène Schweizer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Commissioned by the Fabrikjazz Collective on the occasion of Irène Schweizer's 50th birthday, Theorie continues Barry Guy's successful syncreticism vis a vis the predetermined and the spontaneous.
		And while one senses the clear lines of demarcation between the two, the manner in which each is fueled or catalyzed addresses their mutual interdependence - a pivotal concern in Guy's aesthetic.
		Put another way, these divergent concise statements blend to form a striking multi-timbred voice which is, inessence, the London Jazz Composers Orchestra.

		To avoid demolition of the village temple, the villagers shifted the idol of the village goddess Shantadurga, to an area outside the Portuguese control, deep in the forests of Fatorpa.
		In the present day, the annual festivals of Sattreo, Dussehra and Jatra (fair) are celebrated by both the Hindus and Catholics alike, in an outstanding example of syncreticism.
		Twelve vangddi (leaders representing the 12 groups of villagers of the temple), perform most of the rites these festivals.

		There is interest in the symbolic role that rituals and traditional myths play in the novel, itself an aspect of "syncreticism" in its culture.
		The observations of anthropologists are filtered through language and through the conscious and subconscious assumptions of the social scientist no matter how "objective" she tries to remain.

	Contemporary Sorcery
		When a sorcerer is born into a place and time in which no compatible tradition of sorcery exists, necessity begets creativity.
		The syncreticism that underlies aspects of contemporary sorcery are abetted by the excess of available historical and contemporary materials.
		An improvisational style emerged as a result of these to factors (absence of a living tradition, availability of materials).

		Works were written arguing that the salvation of an individual was a benefit to that individual's society and family and monks thus contributed to the greater good." (W).
		When Chan Buddhism became a fully flourishing school unto itself, I think there was probably quite a bit of syncreticism between the Daoist and Chan Sanghas.
		To answer your question, no, IMO Daoism and Buddhism are not interlinked in any religious way, and the similarities are probably due to syncreticism, translation necessities, and the need to adapt to the ways of Chinese society.

	KII MOUNTAIN RANGE
		Over time, three mountain areas in particular, Yoshino-Omine, Kumano Sanzan and Koyasan, came to be revered as sacred places associated with certain religious groups.
		Respectively, these were the Shugen sect of ascetic Buddhism, another sect practicing Shinto-Buddhist Syncreticism (the belief that Japan's traditional gods are incarnations of Buddhist deities), and the Shingon sect of esoteric Buddhism, each with their own distinct identity, yet interacting.
		Along the Omine Okugakemichi pilgrimage route, the strict 'okugake' training rituals of the Shugen sect continue to be practiced and the Kumano Sankeimichi and Koyasan Choishimichi pilgrimage routes also draw large numbers of people seeking such paths to enlightenment.All of these have had a profound influence on the formation of Japan's spiritual culture.

	Indigenous "Three-Self" Church
		In encouraging a non-replication of let's say an "American-style" of church (whatever that may look like) in the heart of Africa, a number of topics must be held in the forefront of any discussion.
		These ought to include the avoidance of syncreticism, the necessity for didactic teaching of the scriptures, a sense of church history and of the truths which historically have helped to expose a move toward any type of heresy.
		There may need to be assistance from those outside the culture.

		Be sure to make reference to the wide variety of materials we have considered during the semester in answering the question.
		Merrell suggests that “cultural hybridity” gives a better picture than “syncreticism” as a way of explaining the development and current circumstances of Mexican society.

		The question really is, what happens to his legacy of syncreticism that he seems to have imbibed from the sufism that had permeated his music.
		The biggest barrier that India and Pakistan face in their attempts to reach out and roll back the bitterness of the years, is the deep suspicion they have of each other.

		Garifuna music often commemorates key events in their history as well as bringing about spiritual healing and referencing specific religious syncreticism.
		It can also be an expression of everyday things such as work, leisure and humor.

	The Etruscans Now: Abstract: Rathje
		The site of Poggio Civitate, near the village of Tuscan Murlo has been the cause of a rather heated debate since its discoveries in the 60’s by the late Prof.
		In this paper I want to discuss the buildings and their extraordinary decorations as an iconological case-study, in order to contextualize these images representing examples of cultural amalgamations and iconografical syncreticism.
		I am convinced that this particular site is suitable for a methodological discussion of how to interpret a local Etruscan ‘community’ of the seventh and sixth centuries B.C. and wider Etruscan use of symbolic representations.

		Apparently people from Sakadvipa also migrated to India forming the caste known today as the Sakadwipi brahmins.

		Orissa on the eastern coast, in particular, becomes a center of Sun worship and pilgrims often visit to worship at Sun temples here.

	Interrupting the Conversation: The Constructionist Dialogue in Composition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		See also Patricia Bizzell’s lengthier discussion and critique of both foundationalism and antifoundationism in rhetoric.
		Rescher has termed the perspectivist position “syncreticism” (belief that every theory is true to some extent) in opposition to “skepticism,” the position that doubts that anything can be true.
		The syncretic/skeptic dichotomy is one on which he elaborates extensively in his book and is, I think, an interesting alternative to the Cartesian dichotomy (Bineham) or the exogenic/ endogenic dichotomy (Gergen) as a way of understanding the underlying tensions that spawn variations of social constructionism.

	Of Worship and Civil Events:
		Syncreticism is syncreticism when Christians join hands in prayer (an act of worship), with non-Christians.
		Let us not only recognize the obvious, let us also remember the very words of our mutual agreement as members of the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod: We are agreed that we shall, “…renounce unionism and syncreticism of every description.”
		So the end result of this ruse is that those who support the Constitution of synod and its provisions to “…renounce unionism and syncreticism of every description…” are now at risk of being removed from the synod!
