What Makes Life Worth Living? How Japanese and Americans Make Sense of Their Worlds
ISBN: 9780520201330 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Here is an original and provocative anthropological approach to the fundamental philosophical question of what makes life worth living. Gordon Mathews considers this perennial issue by examining nine pairs of similarly situated individuals in the United States and Japan. In the course of exploring how people from these two cultures find meaning in their daily lives, he illuminates a vast and intriguing range of ideas about work and love, religion, creativity, and self-realization. Mathews explores these topics by means of the Japanese term ikigai, "that which most makes one's life...

Pursuits of Happiness: Well-Being in Anthropological Perspective
ISBN: 9781845457082 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Anthropology has long shied away from examining how human beings may lead happy and fulfilling lives. This book, however, shows that the ethnographic examination of well-being-defined as "the optimal state for an individual, a community, and a society"-and the comparison of well-being within and across societies is a new and important area for anthropological inquiry. Distinctly different in different places, but also reflecting our common humanity, well-being is intimately linked to the idea of happiness and its pursuits. Noted anthropological researchers have come together in this volume to...

Global Culture/Individual Identity: Searching for Home in the Cultural Supermarket
ISBN: 9780415206150 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Most people still think of themselves as belonging to a particular culture. Yet today, many of us who live in affluent societies choose aspects of our lives from a global cultural supermarket, whether in terms of food, the arts or spiritual beliefs. So if roots are becoming simply one more consumer choice, can we still claim to possess a fundamental cultural identity?

Globalization from Below: The World's Other Economy
ISBN: 9780415535090 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book explores globalization as actually experienced by most of the world's people, buying goods from street vendors brought by traders moving past borders and across continents under the radar of the law. The dimensions and practices of 'globalization from below' are depicted and analyzed in detail by a team of international scholars. Topics covered include the 'New Silk Road', African traders in China, street hawking in Calcutta and pirate CDs in Mexico. The chapters provide intimate portrayals of routes, markets and people in locations across the globe and explore theories that can...

Japan's Changing Generations: Are Young People Creating a New Society?
ISBN: 9780415384919 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Japan's Changing Generations argues that 'the generation gap' in Japan is something more than young people resisting the adult social order before entering and conforming to that order. Rather, it signifies something more fundamental: the emergence of a new Japan, which may be quite different from the Japan of postwar decades. It argues that while young people in Japan in their teens, twenties and early thirties are not engaged in overt social or political resistance, they are turning against the existing Japanese social order, whose legitimacy has been undermined by the...

Hong Kong, China: Learning to Belong to a Nation
ISBN: 9780415426541 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.
The idea of 'national identity' is an ambiguous one for Hong Kong. Returned to the national embrace of China on 1 July 1997 after 150 years as a British colony, the concept of national identity and what it means to "belong to a nation" is a matter of great tension and contestation in Hong Kong. Written by three academic specialists on Hong Kong cultural identity, social history, and mass media, this book explores the processes through which the people of Hong Kong are "learning to belong to a nation" by examining their relationship with the Chinese nation and state...

Ghetto at the Center of the World
ISBN: 9780226510200 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. There is nowhere else in the world quite like Chungking Mansions, a dilapidated seventeen-story commercial and residential structure in the heart of Hong Kong's tourist district. A remarkably motley group of people call the building home; Pakistani phone stall operators, Chinese guesthouse workers, Nepalese heroin addicts, Indonesian sex workers, and traders and asylum seekers from all over Asia and Africa live and work there--even backpacking tourists rent rooms. In short, it is possibly the most globalized spot on the planet. But as Ghetto at the Center of the World shows us, a...

The World in Guangzhou: Africans and Other Foreigners in South China's Global Marketplace
ISBN: 9780226506104 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Only decades ago, the population of Guangzhou was almost wholly Chinese. Today, it is a truly global city, a place where people from around the world go to make new lives, find themselves, or further their careers. A large number of these migrants are small-scale traders from Africa who deal in Chinese goods--often knockoffs or copies of high-end branded items--to send back to their home countries. In The World in Guangzhou, Gordon Mathews explores the question of how the city became a center of "low-end globalization" and shows what we can learn from that experience about similar...
