ISBN: 9781499384192 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Geno Stone has made and lost millions in the rap game - and that's not strictly dollars. The hip-hop star has also influenced plenty of souls in his rise to the top of the rap charts, with misogynistic and hypnotizing lyrics in bangers and plenty of anthems beloved by a generation of his fans. The king of the woman-hating gangsta rap era found everything he thought he was seeking in the 1990s: fame, respect, goo gobs of money and a multitude of willing and eager women ready to please him at the drop of a snapback hat. The clarion call of the lights, cameras and actions of sexy groupies seemed...

The Life and Death of Industrial Languedoc, 1700-1920
ISBN: 9780195045086 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this seminal book, Christopher Johnson writes a full-scale study of the rise and decline of industrialization in the Bas-Languedoc region of France. Working within a broad 200-year frame, Johnson examines the process of how and why a successful industrial region transformed itself to agriculture. Johnson is primarily interested in de-industrialization, which sets him apart from previous historians who have studied regions only in terms of the growth toward industrialization.

Blood & Kinship: Matter for Metaphor from Ancient Rome to the Present
ISBN: 9780857457493 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The word "blood" awakens ancient ideas, but we know little about its historical representation in Western cultures. Anthropologists have customarily studied how societies think about the bodily substances that unite them, and the contributors to this volume develop those questions in new directions. Taking a radically historical perspective that complements traditional cultural analyses, they demonstrate how blood and kinship have constantly been reconfigured in European culture. This volume challenges the idea that blood can be understood as a stable entity, and shows how concepts of...

Sibling Relations and the Transformations of European Kinship, 1300-1900
ISBN: 9781782380870 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Recently considerable interest has developed about the degree to which anthropological approaches to kinship can be used for the study of the long-term development of European history. From the late middle ages to the dawn of the twentieth century, kinship - rather than declining, as is often assumed - was twice reconfigured in dramatic ways and became increasingly significant as a force in historical change, with remarkable similarities across European society. Applying interdisciplinary approaches from social and cultural history and literature and focusing on sibling relationships, this...

ISBN: 9780801477423 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The work of German cultural theorist and art historian Aby Warburg (1866 1929) has had a lasting effect on how we think about images.

On these panels Warburg carefully, intuitively arranged some thousand black-and-white photographs of classical and Renaissance art objects, as well as of...

Spirited Things: The Work of Possession in Afro-Atlantic Religions
ISBN: 9780226122762 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The word possession is anything but transparent, especially as it developed in the context of the African Americas. There it referred variously to spirits, material goods, and people. It served as a watershed term marking both transactions in which people were made into thingsvia slaveryand ritual events by which the thingification of people was revised. In "Spirited Things," Paul Christopher Johnson gathers together essays by leading anthropologists in the Americas that reopen the concept of possession on these two fronts in order to examine the relationship between African religions in the...

ISBN: 9780520249707 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 343 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. By joining a diaspora, a society may begin to change its religious, ethnic, and even racial identifications by rethinking its "pasts."

It is estimated that one-third of the Garifuna have migrated to New York City over the past fifty years. Paul Christopher Johnson compares Garifuna spirit possession rituals performed in Honduran villages with those conducted in New York, and what...
