ISBN: 9780521367615 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 564 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Continuing the comparative survey of pre-industrial family formation undertaken in The Development of Family and Marriage in Europe (1983), Professor Goody looks in depth at kinship practice in Asia.

Goody examines the transmission of productive and other property in relation both to the prevailing political economy and to family and ideological...

The preparation, serving and eating of food are common features of all human societies, and have been the focus of study for numerous anthropologists - from Sir James Frazer onwards - from a variety of theoretical and empirical perspectives.

He criticises those approaches which overlook the comparative historical dimension of culinary, and other, cultural differences that emerge in class societies, both of which elements he particularly emphasises in this book. The...

ISBN: 9780521339629 / Angielski / Miękka / 1987 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book assesses the impact of writing on human societies, both in the Ancient Near East and in twentieth-century Africa, and highlights some general features of social systems that have been influenced by this major change in the mode of communication. Such features are central to any attempt at the theoretical definition of human society and such constituent phenomena as religious and legal systems, and in this study Professor Goody explores the role of a specific mechanism, the introduction of writing and the development of a written tradition, in the explanation of some important social...

The East in the West
ISBN: 9780521556736 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The East in the West reassesses Western views of Asia, which much European history and social theory has seen as "static" or "backward." Jack Goody challenges these Eurocentric assumptions, including the notion of a special Western rationality, and differences in mercantile activity. Other factors "inhibiting" the East's development, such as the role of the family, have also been greatly exaggerated, and have contributed to a misunderstanding of both Eastern and Western history and society. This wide-ranging and provocative book begins to redress the balance.

ISBN: 9780521290883 / Angielski / Miękka / 1977 / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book is an attempt to see the development of domestic institutions, the family, marriage, conjugal roles, in relation to changes in the mode of productive activity, and specifically with the change from hoe to plough agriculture. These differences are related to societies in Africa on the one hand, and in Asia and Europe on the other. The author tries to do this in two ways. He compares information derived from a range of human societies, historical as well as contemporary, employing the impressionistic techniques of the social scientist and comparative historian. But in addition, he has...
