Religion and Anthropology: A Critical Introduction
ISBN: 9780521852418 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 362 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Focusing on more recent classical ethnographies, this important study provides a critical introduction to the social anthropology of religion. It covers all the major religious traditions that have been studied concretely by anthropologists--Shamanism, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Christianity and its relation to African and Melanesian religions and contemporary Neopaganism. Treating religion as a social institution and not simply as an ideology or symbolic system, the book follows the dual heritage of social anthropology in combining an interpretative approach with sociological analysis.

Animals and Ancestors: An Ethnography
ISBN: 9781859734865 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Ever since the emergence of human culture, people and animals have co-existed in close proximity. Humans have always recognized both their kinship with animals and their fundamental differences, as animals have always been a threat to humans' well-being. The relationship, therefore, has been complex, intimate, reciprocal, personal, and -- crucially -- ambivalent. It is hardly surprising that animals evoke strong emotions in humans, both positive and negative. This companion volume to Morris' important earlier work, The Power of Animals, is a sustained investigation of the Malawi...

The Power of Animals: An Ethnography
ISBN: 9781859732205 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The multiple ways in which people relate to animals provide a revealing window through which to examine a culture. Western cultures tend to view animals either as pets or food, and often overlook the vast number of roles that they may play within a culture and in social life more generally: their use in medicine, folk traditions and rituals. This comprehensive and very readable study focuses on Malawi people and their rich and varied relationship with animals -- from hunting through to their use as medicine. More broadly, through a rigorous and detailed study the author provides insights... The multiple ways in which people relate to animals provide a revealing window through which to examine a culture.

In this important, scholarly and wide-ranging text, Brian Morris provides a lucid outline of the nature of the explanations of religious phenomena offered by such great thinkers as Hegel, Marx, and Weber.

Pioneers of Ecological Humanism
ISBN: 9781551646091 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In our world of ecological catastrophe and social crisis, some roundly condemn modern civilisation as the source of our Promethean predicament. What can follow is a rejection of humanism, science and the City and a turn to either nostalgic primitivism or esoteric spirituality. But do we really need to flee the city for the woods in order to build a free society? In this triple intellectual biography, Brian Morris lucidly discusses three intellectual giants who made an enormous, though often overlooked, contribution to modern ecology: Lewis Mumford, RenE Dubos, and Murray Bookchin....

ISBN: 9781845200756 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What is the cultural importance of insects? Why do we spend a good deal of time and money in the West trying to exterminate insects? How are human-insect relations far more subtle in other societies? From bathtub-invaders to protein-source, insects play a multi-faceted role that has not previously been recognized. To investigate this fully, Brian Morris spent years in Malawi.
