ISBN: 9780745636450 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. How adequate are our theories of globalisation for analysing the worlds we share with others? In this provocative new book, Henrietta Moore asks us to step back and re-examine in a fresh way the interconnections normally labeled 'globalisation'.
Rather than beginning with abstract processes and flows, Moore starts by analyzing the hopes, desires and satisfactions of individuals in their day-to-day lives. Drawing on a wide range of examples, from African initiation rituals to Japanese anime, from sex in virtual worlds to Schubert songs, Moore develops a theory of the ethical imagination,...

What are the problems of rural food supply in southern Africa today and how have they arisen historically?

Sociality: New Directions
ISBN: 9780857457899 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The notion of 'sociality' is now widely used within the social sciences and humanities. However, what is meant by the term varies radically, and the contributors here, through compelling and wide ranging essays, identify the strengths and weaknesses of current definitions and their deployment in the social sciences. By developing their own rigorous and innovative theory of human sociality, they re-set the framework of the debate and open up new possibilities for conceptualizing other forms of sociality, such as that of animals or materials. Cases from Asia, Africa, the Americas and Europe... The notion of 'sociality' is now widely used within the social sciences and humanities.

ISBN: 9781782382201 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What happens when people "achieve"? Why do reactions to "achievement" vary so profoundly? And how might an anthropological study of achievement and its consequences allow us to develop a more nuanced model of the motivated agency that operates in the social world? These questions lie at the heart of this volume. Drawing on research from Southeast Asia, Europe, the United States, and Latin America, this collection develops an innovative framework for explaining achievement's multiple effects-one which brings together cutting-edge theoretical insights into politics, psychology, ethics,...

Those Who Play With Fire : Gender, Fertility and Transformation in East and Southern Africa
ISBN: 9781845205973 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Whether initiating girls or healing cattle, bringing rain or protesting taxation, many in Africa share a vision of a world where the cultural, symbolic and cosmic categories of "male" and "female" serve, through ritual, to both reimagine and transform the world. Those Who Play with Fire introduces recent gender theory to the analysis of African ethnography, exploring the ways in which ideational gender categories permeate African systems of thought and ritual practices. Thus, the book provides a powerful framework with which to evaluate previous ethnographic material on Africa. In addition,...
