In China's Image: Chinese Self-Perception in Western Thought
ISBN: 9780333917954 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 243 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book questions our perceptions of China. It is argued that what is commonly understood to be 'China' is, in large part, a collage of images. These images - created and manipulated by individuals and groups within the boundaries of the Chinese state in order to pursue their own social, economic and political ambitions - have been accepted, elaborated upon, strengthened and made legitimate by European and American social scientists and by other professional commentators on China. If shaped or strongly conditioned by these images, policies towards China are likely to prove either...

Reading the Past: Current Approaches to Interpretation in Archaeology
ISBN: 9780521528849 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The third edition of this classic introduction to archaeological theory and method has been fully updated to address the rapid development of theoretical debate throughout the discipline. Ian Hodder and Scott Hutson argue that archaeologists must consider a variety of perspectives in the complex and uncertain task of "translating the meaning of past texts into their own contemporary language." While remaining centered on the importance of meaning, agency and history, the authors explore the latest developments in post-structuralism, neo-evolutionary theory and phenomenology. Previous Edition...

The Domestication of Europe
ISBN: 9780631177692 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Neolithic saw the spread of the first farmers, and the formation of settled villages throughout Europe. Traditional archaeology has interpreted these changes in terms of population growth, economic pressures and social competition, but in "The Domestication of Europe" Ian Hodder works from a new, controversial theory focusing instead on the enormous expansion of symbolic evidence from the homes, settlements and burials of the period. Why do the figurines, decorated pottery, elaborate houses and burial rituals appear and what is their significance? The author argues that the symbolism...

Religion in the Emergence of Civilization: Çatalhöyük as a Case Study
ISBN: 9780521150194 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 374 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book presents an interdisciplinary study of the role of spirituality and religious ritual in the emergence of complex societies. Involving an eminent group of natural scientists, archaeologists, anthropologists, philosophers, and theologians, this volume examines Catalhoyuk as a case study. A nine-thousand-year old town in central Turkey, Catalhoyuk was first excavated in the 1960s and has since become integral to understanding the symbolic and ritual worlds of the early farmers and village-dwellers in the Middle East. It is thus an ideal location for exploring theories about the role of...

Violence and the Sacred in the Ancient Near East: Girardian Conversations at Çatalhöyük
ISBN: 9781108476027 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This volume brings together two groups engaged with understanding the relationships between religion and violence. The first group consists of scholars of the mimetic theory of Rene Girard, for whom human violence is rooted in the rivalry that stems from imitation. To manage this violence of all against all, humans often turn to violence against one, the scapegoat, thereafter incorporated into ritual. The second group consists of archaeologists working at the Neolithic sites of Catalhoeyuk and Goebekli Tepe in Turkey. At both sites there is evidence of religious practices that center on wild...

Turning the Tables: How the Third World Overthrew the West
ISBN: 9781680537239 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. We are living through extraordinary times – a startling civilizational shift in which the tables are being turned on the West and all it stands for. The baby boomers tracked the beginning of this great historical arc, their children are watching it accelerate, and their grandchildren may witness its completion. The rise of the Third World is rooted in social transfers, welfare, and redistribution of wealth in the name of justice. The failing heart of the West is the market. Why do many Third World countries seem to understand and accept this truth? Why does the West only give the nod to it...

Emotional Bureaucracy
ISBN: 9781412814935 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This study casts doubt on the classic model of bureaucracy and its relevance to developing areas. In particular, Hodder challenges the Weberian distinction between the role of emotion and a modern bureaucracy's impersonal and rational qualities. He suggests that bureaucracies function differently, and offers a different perspective. The focus is the Philippines, but Hodder's conclusions are applicable to other developing areas. Two main themes are discussed. The first explores the classic Weberian model of bureaucracy. The second concerns ways of thinking about the social features of...

Between Two Worlds: Society, Politics, and Business in the Philippines
ISBN: 9780700716432 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book considers the tensions and complementarities between two different attitudes towards social relationships - on the one hand, the attitude aspired to in the West, which emphasises individualism, institutional probity, and the rule of law, and which regards social relationships as ideals or absolutes; and, on the other hand, the attitude often found in Asia, where loyalties based on kinship, local networks, and places of origin are vitally important, and where social relationships, institutions and practices are often material for manipulation and the pursuit of ambition. The book...

The Life and Work of the Seventh Earl of Shaftesbury, K.G.
ISBN: 9781108075558 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 566 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In the preface to this three-volume work of 1886, Edwin Hodder (1837 1904) writes that the seventh earl of Shaftesbury 'resisted every appeal that was made to him to allow his biography to be written'. In the end, he succumbed to the inevitable, and shared with Hodder, a professional author, both his archives and his memories. Anthony Ashley-Cooper (1801 85) was an evangelical Christian with a profound sense of the duty owed by the aristocracy to their country and to the less fortunate. He first came to prominence as the leader of the parliamentary campaign for shorter working hours, which...
