ISBN: 9780521774758 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Grimshaw sets a new agenda for visual anthropology, attempting to transcend the old division between image and text-based ethnography. She argues for the use of vision as a critical tool with which anthropologists can address issues of knowledge and technique. The first part of the book critically examines anthropology's history, focusing on the work of key individuals--Rivers, Malinowski and Radcliffe-Brown--in the context of early modern art and cinema. In the book's second part, Grimshaw considers the anthropological films of Jean Rouch, David and Judith MacDougall and Melissa...

The Nobbie Stories for Children and Adults
ISBN: 9780803246133 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. After more than a decade in the United States, the Caribbean writer C. L. R.

Through a distinctive, imaginary, and sometimes absurd cast of characters-Good Boongko, Bad boo-boo-loo, Moby Dick, and Nicholas the worker, among others-these stories explore questions of friendship, conflict, community, ethics, and power in humorous and often ingenious ways; they also stand as a moving testament to a father's...
