Predicament of Culture: Twentieth-Century Ethnography, Literature, and Art
ISBN: 9780674698437 / Angielski / Miękka / 1988 / 398 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Predicament of Culture is a critical ethnography of the West in its changing relations with other societies. Analyzing cultural practices such as anthropology, travel writing, collecting, and museum displays of tribal art, Clifford shows authoritative accounts of other ways of life to be contingent fictions, now actively contested in postcolonial contexts. His critique raises questions of global significance: Who has the authority to speak for any group's identity and authenticity? What are the essential elements and boundaries of a culture? How do self and "the other" clash in the...

Love, Truth & CommunIslamic Sociopaths: A Love Letter to the Lost
ISBN: 9781463685430 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 298 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. What is the most discussed topic in the political world right now? It is communism (masked as "socialism") and Islam. The book I have written goes more in detail on these topics than any book to date. My approach is very personal. I have researched my topics exhaustively and back up everything I say with sources. I come against communism and Islam fearlessly in a way that NO ONE else is, because they fear for their lives No one is safe in this exposure of what is happening to the greatest country ever. My sharpest criticism is towards the complacent, media-enveloped mainstream population. In...

In a follow-up to The Predicament of Culture, one of the defining books for anthropology in the last decade, James Clifford takes the proper measure: a moving picture of a world that doesn't stand still, that reveals itself en route, in the airport lounge and the parking lot as much as in the marketplace and the museum. In this collage of essays, meditations, poems, and travel reports, Clifford takes travel and its difficult companion, translation, as openings into a complex modernity. He...

Engaging with indigenous histories of survival and transformation, James Clifford opens fundamental questions about where we are going, separately and together, in a globalizing, but not homogenizing, world. It was once widely assumed that native, or tribal, societies were destined to disappear. Sooner or later, irresistible economic and political forces would complete the work of destruction set in motion by culture contact and colonialism. But many aboriginal groups persist, a reality that... Returns explores homecomings--the ways people recover and renew their roots. Engaging with indigenous histories of survival and transformati... |
