The Archetypal Actions of Ritual: A Theory of Ritual Illustrated by the Jain Rite of Worship
ISBN: 9780198279471 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Humphrey and Laidlaw present a new and radical general theory of ritual by drawing on an ethnographically rich account of the ritual worship of the Jains of western India. Ritual, they argue, is not a logically separate type of activity, but rather a quality that can be attributed to a wide range of everyday activities. In exploring the issue of what is distinctive about actions which are ritualized, this book makes an ambitious and controversial contribution to social and religious anthropology.

Barter, Exchange and Value: An Anthropological Approach
ISBN: 9780521406826 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Economists treat barter as an inefficient alternative to market exchange, assuming that it is normal only in primitive economies. For their part, anthropologists are more concerned with the social and moral complexities of the "gift," and treat barter as mere haggling. The authors in this collection do not accept that barter occupies a residual space between monetary and gift economies. Using accounts from different parts of the world, they demonstrate that it is more than a simple and self-evident economic institution. Barter may constitute a mode of exchange with its own social...

ISBN: 9780857455109 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Examining the way people imagine and interact in their cities, this book explores the post-cosmopolitan city. The contributors consider the effects of migration, national, and religious revivals (with their new aesthetic sensibilities), the dispositions of marginalized economic actors, and globalized tourism on urban sociality. The case studies here share the situation of having been incorporated in previous political regimes (imperial, colonial, socialist) that one way or another created their own kind of cosmopolitanism, and now these cities are experiencing the aftermath of these...

"What emerges as common features of these cities mark their unique contribution to an understanding of cosmopolitanism as ideal and practice, raising crucial questions about who is or can be cosmopolitan and where cosmopolitanism is in the world. Loosely connected by their orientation to both Europe and Asia, the shifting valences of this outlook over time have important consequences for the cities' respective cosmopolitan-ness, as well as the meaning and nature of cosmopolitanism." - Urban History
"In their new book, Caroline Humphrey and Vera Skvirskaja have excelled in building a... "What emerges as common features of these cities mark their unique contribution to an understanding of cosmopolitanism as ideal and practice, raising ...
