appreciation thread for toureg culture

"Aesthetics" is 21st-century superficial.

It's culturally significant. Markers of values of identity. These carry aesthetical traits but it's not reduced to them. Don't confuse the two, brother.

God->Ethics->Aesthetics
Only through god can you be truly ethical and by being ethical you inadvertently create the aesthetically pleasing.

Very interesting aspects of the Tuareg (Amazighi) culture of Maghreb:
a) when a couple gets married, the man taken the would-be wife's surname,
b) women assume the lead role, as in head of a household, for example, when guests arrive, their female chief receive guests, and men serve food and drinks. A young Tuaregi man I met shared some aspects of their culture, and it was 'cos female chiefs had been in charge for centuries.
c) Addoonsi is still being practised in their culture.


Is this culture in Lisbon or Lesbiana? :susp:

Alright, so you were making a specific philosophical take. My response was from the colloquial sense of aesthetics, deprived of substance.

Even in modern philosophy, there can often be based on hedonistic interpretations.

Yeah. An implicit from my statement is: only by first believing in God can you see true beauty and by extension culture in its unadulterated form along with the triumph of human ingenuity, without the muddying lens of your persona and the desires and ideas it conceals.

I think I understand your position, is it relative to the current prevailing culture? That everything, even nature is seen in a reduced form due to a lack of reverence and a strong moral and traditional foundation. That societies in the west and the east (communism), in recent times, denied their citizens the right to self-identify with their history, culture and ethnicity in order to serve a highly machinated and materialistic ideological and moral framework; leading on to the now fragmented individual to adopt (co-opt) and bastardise the cultural practices of the global south, viewing their “aesthetics” no different to their favourite superhero flic or the plastic subculture they adhere to.

Aesthetic from my original point was the aspects people use for thematic sensory impression without any underlying coherent meaning or adhering to subscribe to anything beyond the line of showing a superficial preference for it.

It was an attempt to expand it: People like things because of unconscious and conscious triggers which manifest themselves as emotions when in the presence of them. The images are cultural wares and artefacts of a people which have managed to keep their traditions in-tact despite the lure of modern civilisation. One main reason people are drawn to such cultures in the current year is due to the vacuum, within, that would otherwise contain a strong tribal and cultural identity but instead is filled with various sports teams, false heroes and countless other solipsistic distractions. Less than a century ago people would have looked down on the tuareg, viewing them as less civilized, this is no longer the case - shifting attitudes of racism in part and the absence of true culture and all its trimmings another. The popularised term of this phenomena is “cultural appropriation”, stripping it of its racialist implications, it sheds light on one component of the vacuous nature of the westernised nu-man and his fall.

You have less authentic symbolic, cultural and traditional cultivation in the Western, fast-pasted world. No sense of isolation, and careful socialization stages, big distinguishing markers of identity, those are outsourced to systemic processing. For that reason, people collect aesthetic trends as if they are things they hang on their profile with any meaningful depth. It's a modernity problem.

they're pretty langaab 1,2 million and getting abused by the madow sahels plus the madow they assimilated into their culture are replacing them, it's over for them but i pray it never happens

They are laandheere spread over this whole terrain. They are just one sub of the larger imazighen tribes scattered across North Africa from western Egypt to Mauritania

Keep it mind that the blue area is meant to represent where they mostly reside in, not where they constitute a majority. In northern Mali and Niger, some areas are dominated by Songhai, Fulani or Hausa
Empty land doesn't mean anything, their population is really small and they losing most of that land to madow sahel and the ones they assimilated are outbreeding them kkkk

The Touareg are equivalent to a Somali subclan. All the Berbers and majority of North Africans are fathered by this man that lived only 2700 years ago which is similar in age to the Somali ancestor who fathered most of the Somalis. So the Tuareg are similar to one of the Somali subclans 😂.
