How Religion Evolved: Explaining the Living Dead, Talking Idols, and Mesmerizing Monuments
ISBN: 9781412862868 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Why did many religious leaders--Moses, Old Testament prophets, Zoroaster--claim they heard divine voices? Why do ancient civilizations exhibit key similarities, e.g., the "living dead" (treating the dead as if they were still alive); "speaking idols" (care and feeding of effigies); monumental mortuary architecture and "houses of gods" (pyramids, ziggurats, temples)? How do we explain strange behaviour such as spirit possession, speaking in tongues, channelling, hypnosis, and schizophrenic hallucinations? Are these lingering vestiges of an older mentality? Brian J. McVeigh answers... Why did many religious leaders--Moses, Old Testament prophets, Zoroaster--claim they heard divine voices? Why do ancient civilizations exhibit key ... |

Life in a Japanese Women's College: Learning to Be Ladylike
ISBN: 9780415867924 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. One third of the Japanese female workforce are 'office ladies' and their training takes place in the many women's junior colleges. Office ladies are low-wage, low-status secretaries who have little or no job security. Brian J. McVeigh draws on his experience as a teacher at one such institution to explore the cultural and social processes used to promote 'femininity' in Japanese women. His detailed and ethnographically-informed study considers how the students of these institutions are socialized to fit their future dual roles of employees and mothers, and illuminates the sociopolitical role...

Wearing Ideology: State, Schooling and Self-Presentation in Japan
ISBN: 9781859734902 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Uniforms are not unique to Japan, but their popularity there suggests important linkages: material culture, politico-economic projects, bodily management, and the construction of subjectivity are all connected to the wearing of uniforms. This book examines what the donning of uniforms says about cultural psychology and the expression of economic nationalism in Japan. Conformity in dress is especially apparent amongst students, who are required to wear uniforms by most schools. Drawing on concrete examples, the author focuses particularly on student uniforms, which are key socializing...

The Nature of the Japanese State: Rationality and Rituality
ISBN: 9780415171069 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Brian J. McVeigh uses a unique anthropological approach to step outside flawed stereotypes of Japanese society and really engage in the current debate over the role of bureaucracy in Japanese politics.
To many in the West, Japan appears as a paradox: a rational, high-tech economic superpower and yet at the same time a deeply ritualistic and ceremonial society. This adventurous new study demonstrates how these nominally conflicting impressions of Japan can be reconciled and a greater understanding of the state achieved. Brian J. McVeigh uses a unique anthropological approach to step outside flawed stereotypes of Japanese society and really engage in the current debate...

A Psychohistory of Metaphors: Envisioning Time, Space, and Self Through the Centuries
ISBN: 9781498520287 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. How have figures of speech configured new concepts of time, space, and mind throughout history? Brian J. McVeigh answers this question in A Psychohistory of Metaphors: Envisioning Time, Space, and Self through the Centuries by exploring meta-framing: our ever-increasing capability to step back from the environment, search out its familiar features to explain the unfamiliar, and generate as if forms of knowledge and metaphors of location and vision. This book demonstrates how analogizing and abstracting have altered spatio-visual perceptions, expanding our introspective capabilities and...

Nationalisms of Japan: Managing and Mystifying Identity
ISBN: 9780742524552 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this fresh and original analysis, Brian J. McVeigh confronts both the demonizers and apologists of Japan. He argues persuasively that far from being unique, Japanese nationalism becomes demystified once 'management' and 'mysticism'--the same processes and practices that operate in other national states--are taken into account. Stripping away Orientalist-inspired misconceptions, the author stresses the variety and relative intensity of nationalisms, ranging from economic, ethnic, and educational to cultural, gendered, and religious. He moves beyond state-centered ideologies to explore the...

The State Bearing Gifts: Deception and Disaffection in Japanese Higher Education
ISBN: 9780739113448 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Using Japanese higher education as a case study, author Brian J. McVeigh explores the varieties of 'exchange dramatics' among the Education Ministry, universities, faculty, and students. With one eye on large-scale processes and the other on everyday practices, he elucidates trafficking between micro- and macro-levels and key concepts of 'value, ' 'exchange, ' and 'role performance' by studying how political economy configures dramatization and deception at the everyday level. Relying on extensive ethnographic participant observation and the notion of the 'gift, ' McVeigh challenges the...
