Miller articulates a new vision of human and animal relationships based on the foundational love ethic within Christianity. Framed around Jesus' parable of the Good Samaritan, Animal Ethics and Theology thoughtfully examines the shortcomings of utilitarian and rights-based approaches to animal ethics. By considering the question of animals within the Christian concept of neighbourly love, Miller provides an alternative narrative for understanding the complex relationships that humans have with other animals. This book addresses significant theological questions such...

Stuff
ISBN: 9780745644233 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Things make us just as much as we make things. And yet, unlike the study of languages or places, there is no discipline devoted to the study of material things. This book shows why it is time to acknowledge and confront this neglect and how much we can learn from focusing our attention on stuff.
The book opens with a critique of the concept of superficiality as applied to clothing. It presents the theories that are required to understand the way we are created by material as well as social relations. It takes us inside the very private worlds of our home possessions and our processes of... Things make us just as much as we make things.

Au Pair
ISBN: 9780745650128 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Many families leave their children for years to be looked after by young people about whom they know next to nothing, from places they have barely heard of. Who are these au pairs, why do they come and what is their experience of this arrangement? Do they, for their part, find that they are treated as one of the family, and would they even want to be? After a year of careful research, this book shows how most of our assumptions and expectations about au pairs are wrong.
This is the first book devoted to the lives of au pairs, their leisure as well as their work time. We see this... Many families leave their children for years to be looked after by young people about whom they know next to nothing, from places they have barely hea...

ISBN: 9780415107891 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Worlds Apart is concerned with one of the new futures of anthropology, namely the advances in technologies which r eate an imagination of new global and local forms. It also analyses studies of the consumption of these forms and attempts to go beyond the assumptions that consumption either localises or fails to effect global forms and images.
Several of the chapters are written by anthropologists who have specialised in material culture studies and who examine the new forms, especially television and mass commodities, as well as some new uses of older forms, such as the body. The... Worlds Apart is concerned with one of the new futures of anthropology, namely the advances in technologies which r eate an imagination of new...

Modernity - An Ethnographic Approach: Dualism and Mass Consumption in Trinidad
ISBN: 9780854969166 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. From cultural studies, sociology, media studies, gender studies and elsewhere there have been a spate of books recently which have attempted to characterize the state of modernity. Many of these have also argued that what is required is an ethnographic work to determine how far these supposed trends actually apply to a given population. This book explicitly accepts this challenge and, in so doing, demonstrates the potential of modern anthropology studies. It starts by summarizing some debates on modernity and then argues that the Caribbean island of Trinidad is particularly apt for such a...

Home Possessions: Material Culture Behind Closed Doors
ISBN: 9781859735800 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Although so much of the life we care about takes place at home, this private space often remains behind closed doors and is notoriously difficult for researchers to infiltrate. We may think it is just up to us to decorate, transform and construct our homes, but in this book we discover a new form of 'estate agency', the active participation of the home and its material culture in the construction of our lives. What do the possessions people choose to take with them when moving say about who they are, and should we emphasize the mobility of a move or the stability of what movers take with...

Consumption and Its Consequences
ISBN: 9780745661087 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. This is a book for those looking for different answers to some of today's most fundamental questions. What is a consumer society? Does being a consumer make us less authentic or more materialistic? How and why do we shop? How should we understand the economy? Is our seemingly insatiable desire for goods destroying the planet? Can we reconcile curbs on consumption with goals such as reducing poverty and social inequality?
Miller responds to these questions by proposing feasible and, where possible, currently available alternatives, drawn mainly from his own original ethnographic research....
