Kinship, Law and the Unexpected: Relatives Are Always a Surprise
ISBN: 9780521615099 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Marilyn Strathern takes up an issue at the heart of studies of society--anthropologists using relationships to uncover relationships. The role of relations in western (Euro-American) knowledge practices, from the scientific revolution onwards, raises a question about the extent to which Euro-American kinship is the kinship of a knowledge-based society. This argument takes the reader through current issues in biotechnology, new family formations and legal interventions, as well as intellectual property debates, to matters of personhood and ownership afforded by material from Melanesia and...

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.
