Prey Into Hunter
ISBN: 9780521411547 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Maurice Bloch has for many years been developing an original and influential theory of ritual. In this book he synthesizes a radical theory of religion. Rituals in a great many societies deny the transience of life and of human institutions. Bloch argues that they enact this denial by symbolically sacrificing the participants themselves, so allowing them to participate in the immortality of a transcendent entity. Such sacrifices are achieved through acts of symbolic violence, ranging from bodily mutilations to the killing of animals. The theme is developed with reference to rituals of many...

Marxism and Anthropology: The History of a Relationship
ISBN: 9780415611602 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book examines the uses made of anthropology by Marx and Engels, and the uses made of Marxism by anthropologists. Looking at the writings of Marx and Engels on primitive societies, the book evaluates their views in the light of present knowledge and draws attention to inconsistencies in their analysis of pre-capitalist societies. These inconsistencies can be traced to the influence of contemporary anthropologists who regarded primitive societies as classless. As Marxist theory was built around the idea of class, without this concept the conventional Marxist analysis foundered. First...

In and Out of Each Others' Bodies: Theory of Mind, Evolution, Truth, and the Nature of the Social
ISBN: 9781612051024 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. What is human sociality? How are universals such as truth and doubt variously demonstrated and negotiated in different cultures? This book offers an accessible introduction to these and other fundamental human questions. Bloch shows that the social consists of two very different things. One is a matter of continual adjustments between individuals who read each others' minds and thus, as in sex and birth, "go in and out of each other's minds and bodies." The other is a time defying system of roles and groups. Interaction at this level is created by ritual and is unique to humans. What is...

Anthropology and the Cognitive Challenge
ISBN: 9780521006156 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this provocative new study one of the world's most distinguished anthropologists proposes that an understanding of cognitive science enriches, rather than threatens, the work of social scientists.

Opening with an exploration of the history of anthropology, Bloch shows why...

From Blessing to Violence: History and Ideology in the Circumcision Ritual of the Merina of Madagascar
ISBN: 9780521314046 / Angielski / Miękka / 1986 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The circumcision ritual of the Merina of Madagascar is seen by them primarily as a blessing, involving the transfer of the love and concern of the ancestors of their descendants. Yet the ritual ends in an act of ciolent wounding of the child. Similarily, while the ritual involves a symbolic assault on women, it is nonetheless welcomed by them as a mark of receiving the blessing of the ancestors. In this book, Maurice Bloch provides a detailed description and analysis of the Merina circumcision ritual today, offers an account of its history, and discusses the significance of his analysis for...

Money and the Morality of Exchange
ISBN: 9780521367745 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This volume deals with the way in which money is symbolically represented in a range of different cultures, from South and South-east Asia, Africa and South America. It is also concerned with the moral evaluation of monetary and commercial exchanges as against exchanges of other kinds. The essays cast radical doubt on many Western assumptions about money: that it is the acid which corrodes community, depersonalises human relationships, and reduces differences of quality to those of mere quantity; that it is the instrument of man's freedom, and so on. Rather than supporting the proposition...
