Shifting Contexts: Transformations in Anthropological Knowledge
ISBN: 9780415107945 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This text offers a critique of current Western thinking. It does not take it for granted that global and local indicate orders of magnitude or scales of importance. Rather, it addresses the techniques by which people shift the contexts of their knowledge and thus endow phenomena with local or global significance. This book examines certain contexts in which people (including anthropologists) make different orders of knowledge for themselves as a prelude to questioning assumptions about the size of knowledge implied in the contrast between global and local perspectives.

After Nature: English Kinship in the Late Twentieth Century
ISBN: 9780521426800 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Central as kinship has been to the development of British social anthropology, this is the first attempt by an anthropologist to situate ideas about English kinship in a cultural context. Marilyn Strathern challenges the traditional separation of Western kinship studies from the study of the wider society. If contemporary society appears diverse, changing and fragmented, these same features also apply to people's ideas about kinship. She views ideas of relatedness, nature and the biological constitution of persons in their cultural context, and offers new insights into the late...
