Predicament of Culture: Twentieth-Century Ethnography, Literature, and Art
ISBN: 9780674698437 / Angielski / Miękka / 1988 / 398 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The Predicament of Culture is a critical ethnography of the West in its changing relations with other societies. Analyzing cultural practices such as anthropology, travel writing, collecting, and museum displays of tribal art, Clifford shows authoritative accounts of other ways of life to be contingent fictions, now actively contested in postcolonial contexts. His critique raises questions of global significance: Who has the authority to speak for any group's identity and authenticity? What are the essential elements and boundaries of a culture? How do self and "the other" clash in the...

When culture makes itself at home in motion, where does an anthropologist stand? In a follow-up to The Predicament of Culture, one of the defining books for anthropology in the last decade, James Clifford takes the proper measure: a moving picture of a world that doesn't stand still, that reveals itself en route, in the airport lounge and the parking lot as much as in the marketplace and the museum. In this collage of essays, meditations, poems, and travel reports, Clifford takes travel and its difficult companion, translation, as openings into a complex modernity. He...

But many aboriginal groups persist, a reality that... Returns explores homecomings--the ways people recover and renew their roots. Engaging with indigenous histories of survival and transformati... |

I come against communism and Islam fearlessly in a way that NO ONE else is, because they fear for their lives No one is safe in this exposure of what is happening to the greatest country ever. My sharpest criticism is towards the complacent, media-enveloped mainstream population. In...
