from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Herbert Wilhelm Jardner (born May 25, 1951 in Eschweiler ) is a German ethnologist .

Life

Jardner studied ethnology , Malayology and prehistory and early history at the University of Cologne , where he graduated in 1988 with a master's degree from the philosophical faculty . From 1989 to 1992 he stayed in West Timor , Indonesia , for field research on the “ Textile Tradition of Atoin Meto ” and the “ Oral Poetry of Atoin Meto ” in the Amanuban administrative district in Kabupaten, south-central Timor ( Timor Tengah Selatan ). Between 1992 and 1995 he worked as a research assistant in the seminar for Indonesian and South Seas languages ​​in the Department of Oriental Studies at the University of Hamburg. In 1999 he received his doctorate for his research on the culture of Atoin Meto under Rainer Carle ( Austronesian Studies ) and Peter Pink (Indonesian Philology ) at the University of Hamburg in Austronesian Studies .

ethnology

Jardner published articles on cultural anthropology in the fields of ethnologist, literature and humanistic astrology . For a long time he has been working on the continuous publication of the artistic expressions of the culture of Atoin Meto as the most important systems for the representation of their worldview : the composition of oral poetry in the form of an impromptu poem in public ritual situations as well as the non-verbal symbolism of the textile motifs of their magnificently decorated Costume .

His research on the culture of Atoin Meto in Kuan Fatu, Amanuban, is partly in book form or as book chapters, but mostly in the context of the online publication Atoin Meto Reloaded .

Since 2000 he has only published his research results online in the Met blog Vingilot , which now consists of several independent weblogs.

astrology

From 1997 to 1999 he dealt with the basics of psychological astrology and acquired skills in astrological horoscope interpretation. He used astrology as a psychological-diagnostic tool for biography work and self-analysis. Several essays on the mythological foundations of astrology originate from this time, which are intended to give practicing astrologers an insight into the origin of the astrological symbolism and interpretation.
