Resurrecting Cannibals: The Catholic Church, Witch-Hunts and the Production of Pagans in Western Uganda
ISBN: 9781847010391 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book explores cannibalism, food, eating and being eaten in its many variations. It deals with people who feel threatened by cannibals, churches who combat cannibals and anthropologists who find themselves suspected of being cannibals. It describes how different African and European images of the cannibal intersected and influenced each other in Tooro, Western Uganda, where the figure of the resurrecting cannibal draws on both pre-Christian ideas and church dogma of the bodily resurrection and the ritual of Holy Communion. In Tooro cannibals are witches: they bewitch people so that they...

Contesting Visibility: Photographic Practices on the East African Coast
ISBN: 9783837624564 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Since the introduction of photography by commercial studio photographers and the colonial state in Kenya, this global medium has been intensely debated and contested among Muslims on the cosmopolitan East African coast. This book does not only explore the making, circulation, and consumption of popular photographs, but also the other side, their rejection and obliteration, an essential aspect of a medium's history that should not be neglected. It deals with various social spaces of refusal in the local Muslim milieu and in that of traditional spirit mediums in which (gendered) visibility was...

Spirit Possession, Modernity and Power in Africa
ISBN: 9780852552582 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. 'The articles in this book make valuable contributions to the literature of African religious experience. The majority of the pieces are based on research conducted in the last 10 to 15 years, and are therefore positioned to document changes taking place across the continent as possession beliefs and practices respond to new circumstances and address the shifting local implications of an increasingly global socio-economy. Gender, ethnicity, and class are rightly presented as intersecting forces and features of spirit phenomena. The case studies presented are richly contextualized: history,...

9/11 and its Remediations in Popular Culture and Arts in Africa
ISBN: 9783643906274 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. 9/11 has been described as an "absolute event" that radically changed the course of history. It reinforced the opposition between Christian and Muslim worlds and led to the declaration of a unilateral war against a global network of terrorists that broke up the classical definition of war as a war between nation states. Yet, 9/11 also created responses in parts of the world that were not directly involved in the unfolding "war on terror." In Africa, local conflicts were re-mapped into an emerging new geography of anger that also reflects the effects of marginalization in a globalized world....

Trance Mediums and New Media: Spirit Possession in the Age of Technical Reproduction
ISBN: 9780823253807 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Ongoing debates about the "return of religion" have paid little attention to the orgiastic and enthusiastic qualities of religiosity, despite a significant increase in the use of techniques of trance and possession around the globe. Likewise, research on religion and media has neglected the fact that historically the rise of mediumship and spirit possession was closely linked to the development of new media of communication. This innovative volume brings together a wide range of ethnographic studies on local spiritual and media practices. Recognizing that processes of globalization are shaped...
