Ethnography and the Historical Imagination
ISBN: 9780367004019 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Over the years John and Jean Comaroff have broadened the study of culture and society with their reflections on power and meaning. In their work on Africa and colonialism they have explored some of the fundamental questions of social science, delving into the nature of history and human agency, culture and consciousness, ritual and representation. How are human differences constructed and institutionalized, transformed and (sometimes) effaced, empowered and (sometimes) resisted? How do local cultures articulate with global forms? How is the power of some people over others built, sustained,...

ISBN: 9780226114149 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 329 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. The essays in this important new collection explore the diverse, unexpected, and controversial ways in which the idea of civil society has recently entered into populist politics and public debate throughout Africa.
In a substantial introduction, anthropologists Jean and John Comaroff offer a critical theoretical analysis of the nature and deployment of the concept-and the current debates surrounding it. Building on this framework, the contributors investigate the "problem" of civil society across their regions of expertise, which cover the continent. Drawing creatively on one another's...

Of Revelation and Revolution, Volume 2: The Dialectics of Modernity on a South African Frontier
ISBN: 9780226114446 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 612 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. In the second of a proposed three-volume study, John and Jean Comaroff continue their exploration of colonial evangelism and modernity in South Africa. Moving beyond the opening moments of the encounter between the British Nonconformist missions and the Southern Tswana peoples, Of Revelation and Revolution, Volume II, explores the complex transactions--both epic and ordinary--among the various dramatis personae along this colonial frontier. The Comaroffs trace many of the major themes of twentieth-century South African history back to these formative encounters. The...

Picturing a Colonial Past: The African Photographs of Isaac Schapera
ISBN: 9780226114125 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. This volume presents for the first time the selected photographs of the renowned British anthropologist Isaac Schapera (1905 2003). Taken between 1929 and 1934, largely during his earliest work among the Kgatla peoples of Bechuanaland (now Botswana), the 136 images in this selection reveal an emotional engagement and aesthetic impulse that Schapera seldom expressed in his writings. Covering a broad spectrum of daily activities, they include depictions of everything from pot making, thatching, and cattle herding to village architecture, vernacular medicine, and rainmaking ceremonies. Visually...

Rules and Processes
ISBN: 9780226114255 / Angielski / Miękka / 1986 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "Rules and Processes" is at once a compelling essay in social theory and a pathbreaking ethnography of dispute in an African society. On the basis of a sensitive study of the Tswana of southern Africa, John Comaroff and Simon Roberts challenge most of the orthodoxies of legal anthropology. They argue that the social world, and the dispute processes that occur within it, are given form and meaning by a dialectical relationship between sociocultural structures and individual experience. The authors explore in a novel way the relations between culture and ideology, system and practice, social...

In "Ethnicity, Inc." anthropologists John L. and Jean Comaroff analyze a new moment in the history of human identity: its rampant commodification. Through a wide-ranging exploration of the changing relationship between culture and the market, they address a pressing question: Wherein lies the future of ethnicity? Their account begins in South Africa, with the incorporation of an ethno-business in venture capital by a group of traditional African chiefs. But their horizons are global: Native American casinos; Scotland s efforts to brand itself; a Zulu ethno-theme park named Shakaland; a...

Millennial Capitalism and the Culture of Neoliberalism
ISBN: 9780822327042 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The essays in Millennial Capitalism and the Culture of Neoliberalism pose a series of related questions: How are we to understand capitalism at the millennium? Is it a singular or polythetic creature? What are we to make of the culture of neoliberalism that appears to accompany it, taking on simultaneously local and translocal forms? To what extent does it make sense to describe the present juncture in world history as an age of revolution, one not unlike 1789 1848 in its transformative potential?

Theory from the South: Or, How Euro-America Is Evolving Toward Africa
ISBN: 9781594517648 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. As nation-states in the Northern Hemisphere experience economic crisis, political corruption and racial tension, it seems as though they might be 'evolving' into the kind of societies normally associated with the 'Global South'. Anthropologists Jean and John Comaroff draw on their long experience of living in Africa to address a range of familiar themes - democracy, national borders, labour and capital and multiculturalism. They consider how we might understand these issues by using theory developed in the Global South. Challenging our ideas about 'developed' and 'developing' nations, Theory...

Law and Disorder in the Postcolony
ISBN: 9780226114095 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Are postcolonies haunted more by criminal violence than other nation-states? The usual answer is yes. In "Law and Disorder in the Postcolony, " Jean and John Comaroff and a group of respected theorists show that the question is misplaced: that the predicament of postcolonies arises from their place in a world order dominated by new modes of governance, new sorts of empires, new species of wealth-an order that criminalizes poverty and race, entraps the "south" in relations of corruption, and displaces politics into the realms of the market, criminal economies, and the courts.

This collection highlights the work of the Royal Anthropological Institute’s Urgent Anthropology Fellowships fund, which supports research into communities whose culture and social life are under immediate threat. Created by George Appell in response to the distress he experienced working with a traumatized community of swidden cultivators in Borneo, who were struggling to survive after relocation in what Appell describes as a ‘cultural concentration camp’, the fund was established to identify ways of supporting and strengthening such communities through ethnographic work. Since 1995,...
