Literacy, Emotion and Authority: Reading and Writing on a Polynesian Atoll

On the Edge of the Global: Modern Anxieties in a Pacific Island Nation
ISBN: 9780804774055 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Life in twenty-first century Tonga is rife with uncertainties. Though the postcolonial island kingdom may give the appearance of stability and order, there is a malaise that pervades everyday life, a disquiet rooted in the feeling that the twin forces of "progress" and "development"--and the seemingly inevitable wealth distribution that follows from them--have bypassed the society. Niko Besnier's illuminating ethnography analyzes the ways in which segments of this small-scale society grapple with their growing anxiety and hold on to different understandings of what modernity means. How should...

Gender on the Edge: Transgender, Gay, and Other Pacific Islanders
ISBN: 9780824838829 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Transgender identities and other forms of gender and sexuality that transcend the normative pose important questions about society, culture, politics, and history. They force us to question, for example, the forces that divide humanity into two gender categories and render them necessary, inevitable, and natural. The transgender also exposes a host of dynamics that, at first glance, have little to do with gender or sex, such as processes of power and domination; the complex relationship among agency, subjectivity, and structure; and the mutual constitution of the global and the...

ISBN: 9780520289000 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Few activities bring together physicality, emotions, politics, money, and morality as dramatically as sport. In Brazil's stadiums or parks in China, on Cuba's baseball diamonds or rugby fields in Fiji, human beings test their physical limits, invest emotional energy, bet money, perform witchcraft, and ingest substances, making sport a microcosm of what life is about. The Anthropology of Sport explores not only what anthropological thinking tells us about sports, but also what sports tell us about the ways in which the sporting body is shaped by and shapes the social, cultural,...
