ISBN: 9780631206590 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 388 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Not a textbook in the ordinary sense, this work offers a vision of how anthropology - a discipline that operates through intimate knowledge of local societies - can offer vastly increased understanding of society and culture even in this age of mass communication. In its examination of topics ranging as far afield as the mass media, environmental and development issues, kinship and suffering in transnational settings, the politics of both the nation-state and the local community, the arts, cosmologies of science as well as religion, and the relationship between social life and history, this...

The Social Production of Indifference
ISBN: 9780226329086 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Herzfeld argues that "modern" bureaucratically regulated societies are no more "rational" or less "symbolic" than the societies traditionally studied by anthropologists. He suggests that we cannot understand national bureaucracies divorced from local-level ideas about chance, personal character, social relationships and responsibility.
"Herzfeld's book is extremely ambitious and will be of interest to any anthropologist concerned with the study of bureaucracy, organizational and institutional control, symbols and their power, and social conflict. . . . Thoughtful and challenging." Helen... Herzfeld argues that "modern" bureaucratically regulated societies are no more "rational" or less "symbolic" than the societies traditionally studied ...

Siege of the Spirits: Community and Polity in Bangkok
ISBN: 9780226331614 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. What happens when three hundred alleged squatters go head-to-head with an enormous city government looking to develop the place where they live? As anthropologist Michael Herzfeld shows in this book, the answer can be surprising. He tells the story of Pom Mahakan, a tiny enclave in the heart of old Bangkok whose residents have resisted authorities' demands to vacate their homes for a quarter of a century. It's a story of community versus government, of old versus new, and of political will versus the law. Herzfeld argues that even though the residents of Pom Mahakan have lost every legal...

Evicted from Eternity: The Restructuring of Modern Rome
ISBN: 9780226329123 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Modern Rome is a city rife with contradictions. Once the seat of ancient glory, it is now often the object of national contempt. It plays a significant part on the world stage, but the concerns of its residents are often deeply parochial. And while they live in the seat of a world religion, Romans can be vehemently anticlerical. These tensions between the past and the present, the global and the local, make Rome fertile ground to study urban social life, the construction of the past, the role of religion in daily life, and how a capital city relates to the rest of the nation. Michael... Modern Rome is a city rife with contradictions. Once the seat of ancient glory, it is now often the object of national contempt. It plays a signifi... |

Anthropology Through the Looking-Glass: Critical Ethnography in the Margins of Europe
ISBN: 9780521389082 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Using Greek ethnography as a mirror for an ethnography of anthropology itself, this book reveals the ways in which the discipline of anthropology is ensnared in the same political and social symbolism as its object of study. The author pushes the comparative goals of anthropology beyond the traditional separation of tribal object from detached scientific observer, and offers the discipline a critical source of reflexive insight based on empirical ethnography rather than on ideological speculation alone.

A Place in History: Social and Monumental Time in a Cretan Town
ISBN: 9780691028552 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Michael Herzfeld describes what happens when a bureaucracy charged with historic conservation clashes with a local populace hostile to the state and suspicious of tourism. Focusing on the Cretan town of Rethemnos, once a center of learning under Venetian rule and later inhabited by the Turks, he examines major questions confronting conservators and citizens as they negotiate the "ownership" of history: Who defines the past? To whom does the past belong? What is "traditional" and how is this determined? Exploring the meanings of the built environment for Rethemnos's inhabitants, Herzfeld...

Portrait of a Greek Imagination: An Ethnographic Biography of Andreas Nenedakis
ISBN: 9780226329109 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 342 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Anthropologist Michael Herzfeld first met Greek novelist Andreas Nenedakis in the drafty courtyard of a public library. This encounter led to an enduring intellectual relationship that prompted Herzfeld to reconsider both the contours of fiction and the nature of anthropology. Portrait of a Greek Imagination, part biography and part ethnography, is Herzfeld's contextualization of Nenedakis's life, as it was both lived and fictionalized. Herzfeld explores how personal vision intersects with national cultures by examining the Greek author's novels and recollections as historical...

The Social Production of Indifference: Exploring the Symbolic Roots of Western Bureaucracy
ISBN: 9780854966387 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this fascinating book, Michael Herzfeld argues that 'modern' bureaucratically regulated societies are no more 'rational' or less 'symbolic' than the societies traditionally studied by anthropologists. Drawing primarily on the example of modern Greece and utilizing other European materials, he suggests that we cannot understand national bureaucracies divorced from local-level ideas about chance, personal character, social relationships and responsibility. He points out that both formal regulations and day-to-day bureaucratic practices rely heavily on the symbols and language of the moral...

The Body Impolitic: Artisans and Artifice in the Globa Hierarchy of Value
ISBN: 9780226329147 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 269 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. "The Body Impolitic" is a critical study of tradition, not merely as an ornament of local and national heritage, but also as a millstone around the necks of those who are condemned to produce it.
Michael Herzfeld takes us inside a rich variety of small-town Cretan artisans' workshops to show how apprentices are systematically thwarted into learning by stealth and guile. This harsh training reinforces a stereotype of artisans as rude and uncultured. Moreover, the same stereotypes that marginalize artisans locally also operate to marginalize Cretans within the Greek nation and Greece...
