Cultures of Relatedness: New Approaches to the Study of Kinship
ISBN: 9780521651936 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Our understanding of what makes a person a relative has been transformed by radical changes in marriage arrangements and gender relations, and by new reproductive technologies. We can no longer take it for granted that our most fundamental social relationships are grounded in "biology" or "nature." Examining the idioms of relatedness in other societies, and ways in which relationship is symbolized and interpreted in our own society, this book challenges established analytic categories of anthropology, and brings into question the received wisdom at the heart of the study of kinship.

About the House: Levi-Strauss and Beyond
ISBN: 9780521479530 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The domestic unit is inseparable from its homestead, and the "house," at once a physical place and a social unit, is often also a unit of production and consumption, a cult group, and even a political faction. Inspired by Levi-Strauss' suggestion that the multi-functional noble houses of Medieval Europe were simply the best-known examples of a widespread social institution, the contributors to this collection analyze "house" systems in Southeast Asia and South America, exploring the interrelationships among buildings, people, and ideas. They reveal some of the ways in which houses can stand...

The Heat of the Hearth: The Process of Kinship in a Malay Fishing Community
ISBN: 9780198280460 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Janet Carsten offers an original and very personal investigation of the nature of kinship in Malaysia, based upon her own experience as a foster daughter in a family on the island of Langkawi. She shows that Malay kinship is a process, not a state: it is determined partly by birth, but also throughout life by living together and sharing food. Carsten gives the reader a fascinating "anthropology of everyday life," including a compelling view of gender relations; she urges reassessment of recent anthropological work on gender, and a new approach to the study of kinship.
