Born and Bred: Idioms of Kinship and New Reproductive Technologies in England
ISBN: 9780198233947 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Born and Bred is an ethnography of Bacup in the north-west of England. At the heart of the cotton industry in the nineteenth century, this Lancashire town has undergone deep social and economic change during the twentieth, yet it remains a hive of social activity. The book focuses on the way in which the past continues to figure in people's talk about the place and about each other, but it questions the claim that such a preoccupation is simply due to nostalgia for better times.

ISBN: 9781845456641 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The modern world is saturated with images.

The existing literature has been successful in mapping the impact and implications of new medical technologies and in marrying the visual and the body but thus far has focused only narrowly on particular kinds of...
