In this lucide guide to the often abstruse works of Claude Levi-Strauss, Edmund Leach synthesizes the thought of one of the twentieth century's greatest anthropologists and provides a thoughtful introduction to the theory and practice of structuralism.

The Structural Study of Myth and Totemism
ISBN: 9780415611626 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Designed to provoke controversy, the papers in this volume concentrate on two main themes: the study of myth and totemism. Starting with an English translation of La Geste d'Asdiwal, which is widely considered to be the most brilliant of all of Levi-Strauss's shorter expositions of his technique of myth analysis, the volume also contains criticism of this essay. The second part of the volume discusses how far Levi-Strauss's treatment of totemism as a system of category formation can be correlated with the facts that an ethnographer encounters in the field. First published in 1967.

Elites in South Asia
ISBN: 9780521107655 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) A study of elitism particularly concerned with Indian elites in the context of British influence and its aftermath. The problems delineated are by no means peculiar to the Indian subcontinent. Nearly all the developing countries of contemporary Asia, Africa and Latin America are entangled with their post-colonial heritage and the history of political elitism in all these countries has been similar. The papers consider who were members of the elites, in the sense of 'men at the top'. They enquire how they got there, how they continued to recruit themselves and what was their relationship with...

Outline of a Theory of Practice
ISBN: 9780521291644 / Angielski / Miękka / 1977 / 255 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Outline of a Theory of Practice is recognized as a major theoretical text on the foundations of anthropology and sociology. Pierre Bourdieu, a distinguished French anthropologist, develops a theory of practice which is simultaneously a critique of the methods and postures of social science and a general account of how human action should be understood. With his central concept of the habitus, the principle which negotiates between objective structures and practices, Bourdieu is able to transcend the dichotomies which have shaped theoretical thinking about the social world. The author draws on...

Power and Intimacy in the Christian Philippines
ISBN: 9780521646222 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The lowland Philippines, in contrast to the apparently "exotic," "tribal" areas, has for many years been thought of as a strangely Westernized place, without a cultural life of its own. This innovative and important book shows that this perception is a myth, which reflects our own obsessions with defining culture and identity as something "unchanging." Through an absorbing account of arranged marriages, miraculous saint cults, spirit mediumship and gay beauty contests, the author describes the unexpectedness of daily life in rural Bicol and the resilience and imagination of the Filipino...

The Huli Response to Illness
ISBN: 9780521619660 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Dr Frankel's study of the rapid transformation of traditional medical care among the Huli of New Guinea by Western treatments strikingly combines the methods of social anthropology and epidemiology. Until the 1950s the Huli used only their own form of therapy, including symptomatic treatments, specialist surgery and major ritual intended to enlist the support of spirits. Since then, superficially at least, there has been a rejection of many traditional measures and a corresponding enthusiasm for Western treatments underpinned by Christianity. The Huli Response to Illness analyses the rich...
