Naming the Witch
ISBN: 9780804751957 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Naming the Witch explores the recent series of witchcraft accusations and killings in East Java, which spread as the Suharto regime slipped into crisis and then fell. After many years of ethnographic work focusing on the origins and nature of violence in Indonesia, Siegel came to the conclusion that previous anthropological explanations of witchcraft and magic, mostly based on sociological conceptions but also including the work of E.E. Evans-Pritchard and Claude Levi-Strauss, were simply inadequate to the task of providing a full understanding of the phenomena associated with sorcery,...

ISBN: 9780691026527 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book concerns the role of language in the Indonesian revolution. James Siegel, an anthropologist with long experience in various parts of that country, traces the beginnings of the Indonesian revolution, which occurred from 1945 through 1949 and which ended Dutch colonial rule, to the last part of the nineteenth century. At that time, the peoples of the Dutch East Indies began to translate literature from most places in the world. Siegel discovers in that moment a force within communication more important than the specific messages it conveyed. The subsequent containment of this...

How Ghosts Travel
ISBN: 9781941550748 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 106 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This collection seems to have been written with vapor-the unseen made visible through James Siegel's intuitive eye. The poems also form an elegy of place, Ohio. Personal phantoms populate this physical and metaphysical locus. Haunted by history and its ruins, the poet deciphers " t]hat fur-covered / folklore crawling out from under the skin." Recasting stanzas into incantations, Siegel conjures memories that "brush the sides of your face, / rest in the tangles of your hair." Finally, ghosts become the Holy Ghost, with "a congregation of wings," with "the rattle of the rosary." Angelic...

A New Criminal Type in Jakarta: Counter-Revolution Today
ISBN: 9780822322412 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In "A New Criminal Type in Jakarta," James T. Siegel studies the dependence of Indonesia's post-1965 government on the ubiquitous presence of what he calls criminality, an ensemble of imagined forces within its society that is poised to tear it apart. Siegel, a foremost authority on Indonesia, interprets Suharto's New Order--in powerful contrast to Sukarno's Old Order--and shows a cultural and political life in Jakarta controlled by a repressive regime that has created new ideas among its population about crime, ghosts, fear, and national identity.
Examining the links between the... In "A New Criminal Type in Jakarta," James T. Siegel studies the dependence of Indonesia's post-1965 government on the ubiquitous presence of what he ...

Solo in the New Order: Language and Hierarchy in an Indonesian City
ISBN: 9780691000855 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this brilliant ethnography of contemporary Java, James Siegel analyzes how language operates to organize and to order an Indonesian people. Despite the imposition of Suharto's New Order, the inhabitants of the city of Solo continue to adhere to their own complex ideas of deference and hierarchy through translation between high and low Javanese speech styles. Siegel uncovers moments when translation fails and compulsive mimicry ensues. His examination of communication and its failures also exposes the ways a culture reconstitutes itself. It leads to insights into the "accidents" that... In this brilliant ethnography of contemporary Java, James Siegel analyzes how language operates to organize and to order an Indonesian people.
