Knowledge & Prac in Mayotte
ISBN: 9780802077837 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 498 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. On the East African island of Mayotte, Islam co-exists with two other systems of understanding and interpreting the world around its inhabitants: cosmology and spirit-mediumship. In a witty, evocative style accessible to both the specialist and non-specialist reader, Michael Lambek provides a significant contribution to writing on African systems of thought, on local forms of religious and therapeutic practice, on social accountability, and on the place of explicit forms of knowledge in the analysis of non-western societies. The "objectified" textual knowledge characteristic of Islam...

Ordinary Ethics: Anthropology, Language, and Action
ISBN: 9780823233175 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 482 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What is the place of the ethical in human life? How do we render it visible? How might sustained attention to the ethical transform anthropological theory and enrich our understanding of thought, speech, and social action? This volume offers a significant attempt to address these questions. It is a common experience of most ethnographers that the people we encounter are trying to do what they consider right or good, are being evaluated according to criteria of what is right and good, or are in some debate about what constitutes the human good. Yet anthropological theory has tended to overlook...

The Ethical Condition: Essays on Action, Person, and Value
ISBN: 9780226292243 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Written over a thirty-year span, Michael Lambek s essays in this collection point with definitive force toward a single central truth: ethics is intrinsic to social life. As he shows through rich ethnographic accounts and multiple theoretical traditions, our human condition is at heart an ethical one we may not always be good or just, but we are always subject to their criteria. Detailing Lambek s trajectory as one anthropologist thinking deeply throughout a career on the nature of ethical life, the essays accumulate into a vibrant demonstration of the relevance of ethics as a practice and...

Illness and Irony: On the Ambiguity of Suffering in Culture
ISBN: 9781571816740 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Theories of illness and therapy since Freud have included the possibility that sufferers are complicit in their conditions. The studies in this volume explore the ways in which illness and therapy may be characterized as sites at which ironies of the human condition are produced, encountered, acknowledged - or discounted in favor of more literal readings. They ask what these sites can teach us about questions of human agency and about the broader importance of irony for theory. Encompassing a variety of perspectives, the contributors included in Illness and Irony apply theories of...

Bodies and Persons: Comparative Perspectives from Africa and Melanesia
ISBN: 9780521621946 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book suggests a bold comparative approach to broad cultural differences between Africa and Melanesia. Its theme is personhood, understood in terms of what anthropologists call embodiment. These concepts are applied to questions ranging from the meanings of spirit possession, to the logics of witchcraft and kinship relations, the use of rituals in healing, and even the impact of capitalism. Questioning common assumptions about the huge differences among these discrete areas, the contributions document surprising continuities.
