Serendipity in Anthropological Research: The Nomadic Turn
ISBN: 9781409430582 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (dostawa w 2025) Challenging the idea that fieldwork is the only way to gather data, and that standard methods are the sole route to fruitful analysis, Serendipity in Anthropological Research explores the role of fortune and happenstance in anthropology. It conceives of anthropological research as a lifelong nomadic journey of discovery in which the world yields an infinite number of unexplored issues and innumerable ways of studying them, each study producing its own questions and demanding its own methodologies. Drawing together the latest research from a team of senior scholars from around the world to...

Simulated Dreams: Zionist Dreams for Israeli Youth
ISBN: 9781571818218 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. At the core of the author's concern stands the question of cultural transmutation in an era riddled with media channels and all-embracing messages. Fragments of the Israeli experience are pieced together in this provocative essay to provide a socio-anthropological agenda for some of the issues involved in the manufacturing of items of symbolic solidarity and common national imagery in an epoch of social disunification and cultural pastiche. The author argues that even though the aesthetic forms of major cultural idioms have unrecognizably altered and are accommodated to befit the shape...

Against Hybridity: Social Impasses in a Globalizing World
ISBN: 9780745690704 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (dostawa w 2025) One of the major characteristics of our contemporary culture is a positive, almost banal, view of the transgression and disruption of cultural boundaries. Strangers, migrants and nomads are celebrated in our postmodern world of hybrids and cyborgs. But we pay a price for this celebration of hybridity: the non-hybrid figures in our societies are ignored, rejected, silenced or exterminated. This book tells the story of these non-hybrid figures the anti-heroes of our pop culture. The main example of non-hybrids in an otherwise hybridized world is that of deep old age. Hazan shows how...

From First Principles: An Experiment in Ageing
ISBN: 9780897894623 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (dostawa w 2025) Most studies of ageing have been done by the non-aged. To correct this imbalance, Hazan enlisted the resources of an unusual and innovative group of elderly persons in Cambridge, England. Gathering together in a structured curriculum of seminars and discussion groups and calling themselves the University of the Third Age, the elders intellectually reexamine the spectrum of sociocultural and epistemological principles starting with basics. Hazan's careful observation, description and transcription of the words of the Third Agers demonstrates that cognition and discourse go through...

Age into Race
ISBN: 9783031406683 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych (dostawa w 2025) Age into Race is a socio-anthropological essay on the repercussions of the Covid-19 pandemic on the cultural status of the old. As the worldwide horrors of the Corona era have since been publicly repressed, the text is geared to revisit and relive the tenor of that time while considering its latent revolutionary aftermath. There was wide agreement that Covid-19 policies targeted older people as a risk group in need of protection, setting it apart from the rest of society. Yet, paradoxically, long-term facilities for older people effectively became Covid-19 death traps. What kind of...

Old Age: Constructions and Deconstructions
ISBN: 9780521447485 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (dostawa w 2025) Haim Hazan, a specialist on old age in anthropology, focuses on the reality of the experience of old age as opposed to the stereotyped image. He argues that the construction of this world by outsiders is affected by deeply ingrained social attitudes whereby the old are separated from society and associated with the fear of death. The author views the subject from a social constructionist perspective, drawing on ethnographic accounts to produce a sophisticated and original book that will have a significant impact on a field still dominated by the "social problems" approach.

Marking Evil: Holocaust Memory in the Global Age
ISBN: 9781789200560 / Angielski / Miękka / 2018 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Talking about the Holocaust has provided an international language for ethics, victimization, political claims, and constructions of collective identity. As part of a worldwide vocabulary, that language helps set the tenor of the era of globalization. This volume addresses manifestations of Holocaust-engendered global discourse by critically examining their function and inherent dilemmas, and the ways in which Holocaust-related matters still instigate public debate and academic deliberation. It contends that the contradiction between the totalizing logic of globalization and the assumed...
