Human Nature as Capacity: Transcending Discourse and Classification
ISBN: 9780857458100 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What is it to be human? What are our specifically human attributes, our capacities and liabilities? Such questions gave birth to anthropology as an Enlightenment science. This book argues that it is again appropriate to bring "the human" to the fore, to reclaim the singularity of the word as central to the anthropological endeavor, not on the basis of the substance of a human nature - "To be human is to act like this and react like this, to feel this and want this" - but in terms of species-wide capacities: capabilities for action and imagination, liabilities for suffering and cruelty. The...

Migrants of Identity: Perceptions of 'Home' in a World of Movement
ISBN: 9781859739945 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Global movement is commonly characterized as one of the quintessential experiences of our age. Market forces, territorial conflicts and environmental changes uproot an increasing number of people, while mass communication, travel, tourism, and a global market of commodities, texts, tastes, fashions and ideologies place individuals more than ever in a global arena. As traditional conceptions of individuals as members of stationary, fixed and separate societies and cultures no longer convince, to what extent does movement become central to individuals' self-conceptions? How do people... Global movement is commonly characterized as one of the quintessential experiences of our age. Market forces, territorial conflicts and environment... |

I Am Dynamite: An Alternative Anthropology of Power
ISBN: 9780415258623 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Power is conventionally regarded as being held by social institutions. We are taught to believe that it is these social structures that determine the environment and circumstances of individual lives. In I Am Dynamite, the anthropologist Nigel Rappaport argues for a different view. Focusing on the lives and works of the writer and Auschwitz survivor Primo Levi, refugee and engineer Ben Glaser, Israeli ceramicist and immigrant Rachel Siblerstein, artist Stanley Spencer, and philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, he shows how we can have the capacity and inclination to formulate 'life...

Distortion: Social Processes Beyond the Structured and Systemic
ISBN: 9781138230651 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Distortion occurs between the intentions of actions and their outcomes. It can also occur between thoughts and actions; between words and how they are interpreted; between a statement of law and its enactment; between a vision and its artistic representation; and between a cultural tradition or habitus and its animation in contemporary contexts. Escaping the bounds of relationality, of structuration and of systemics, distortion is a form of complex connectedness that has seldom been addressed in the social sciences as a phenomenon in its own right. This volume argues for the key... Distortion occurs between the intentions of actions and their outcomes. It can also occur between thoughts and actions; between words and how they ... |

Anyone: The Cosmopolitan Subject of Anthropology
ISBN: 9781782385264 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The significance that people grant to their affiliations as members of nations, religions, classes, races, ethnicities and genders is evidence of the vital need for a cosmopolitan project that originates in the figure of Anyone - the universal and yet individual human being. Cosmopolitanism offers an alternative to multiculturalism, a different vision of identity, belonging, solidarity and justice, that avoids the seemingly intractable character of identity politics: it identifies samenesses of the human condition that underlie the surface differences of history, culture and society, nation,...

ISBN: 9781443819794 / Twarda / 2010 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Reveries of Home considers understandings of home in the world today and the means by which feelings of homeliness are secured. In particular, the volume explores the relationship between the phenomenon of globalisation and the ways in which home-making entails acts of practical and symbolic emplacement in landscapes felt to be meaningful and authentic. A series of case-studies, from Norway and West Africa, the mid-western USA, Egypt, Scotland and elsewhere, offer an illustrative array of homes made in rural communities and urban worksites, in personal life-histories and the policies of...

Distortion and Love: An Anthropological Reading of the Art and Life of Stanley Spencer
ISBN: 9781138380035 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this ground-breaking book, a theory of 'distortion' - of the way in which the processes of human life are subject to interference, diversion and transformation - is developed by way of the art of one of Britain's greatest twentieth-century painters and that art's public reception. Devoted to his native village of Cookham-on-Thames, Stanley Spencer painted not only landscapes and portraits with loving detail but also the 'memory-feelings' which he felt were a 'sacred' part of his consciousness. Yet Spencer was also a controversial public figure, with some taking the view that his visionary...
