In Darkness and Secrecy: The Anthropology of Assault Sorcery and Witchcraft in Amazonia
ISBN: 9780822333456 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "In Darkness and Secrecy" brings together ethnographic examinations of Amazonian assault sorcery, witchcraft, and injurious magic, or "dark shamanism." Anthropological reflections on South American shamanism have tended to emphasize shamans' healing powers and positive influence. This collection challenges that assumption by showing that dark shamans are, in many Amazonian cultures, quite different from shamanic healers and prophets. Assault sorcery, in particular, involves violence resulting in physical harm or even death. While highlighting the distinctiveness of such practices, "In...

Dark Shamans: Kanaimà and the Poetics of Violent Death
ISBN: 9780822329527 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. On the little-known and darker side of shamanism there exists an ancient form of sorcery called "kanaim""a," a practice still observed among the Amerindians of the highlands of Guyana, Venezuela, and Brazil that involves the ritual stalking, mutilation, lingering death, and consumption of human victims. At once a memoir of cultural encounter and an ethnographic and historical investigation, this book offers a sustained, intimate look at "kanaim""a," its practitioners, their victims, and the reasons they give for their actions.

Virtual War and Magical Death: Technologies and Imaginaries for Terror and Killing
ISBN: 9780822354352 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Virtual War and Magical Death is a provocative examination of the relations between anthropology and contemporary global war. Several arguments unite the collected essays, which are based on ethnographic research in varied locations, including Guatemala, Uganda, and Tanzania, as well as Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, and the United States. Foremost is the contention that modern high-tech warfare as it is practiced and represented by the military, the media, and civilians is analogous to rituals of magic and sorcery. Technologies of "virtual warfare," such as high-altitude bombing, remote...

Histories and Historicities in Amazonia
ISBN: 9780803298170 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Anthropologist Neil L. Whitehead presents a collection of recent fieldwork and the latest theoretical perspectives that illuminate how a range of Native communities in the Amazon River basin, and those they encounter, use the past to make sense of their world and themselves. In recent decades, scholars have become increasingly aware of the role the past plays in the construction of culture and identity. Not only can the past be represented and codified overtly in various ways and media as a history, it also operates more fundamentally and pervasively in cultures as a mode of...

Human No More: Digital Subjectivities, Unhuman Subjects, and the End of Anthropology
ISBN: 9781607321897 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Turning an anthropological eye toward cyberspace, "Human No More" explores how conditions of the online world shape identity, place, culture, and death within virtual communities.
Online worlds have recently thrown into question the traditional anthropological conception of place-based ethnography. They break definitions, blur distinctions, and force us to rethink the notion of the "subject." "Human No More" asks how digital cultures can be integrated and how the ethnography of both the "unhuman" and the "digital" could lead to possible reconfiguring the notion of the "human." This...
