A History of the Imagination
ISBN: 9781573661157 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 223 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A History of the Imagination is a postmodern tale of adventure that reshapes the parameters of time and space, thought and action. In a metaphorical Africa, replete with nostalgia (but no dimensions), anything can happen and usually does. The narrator defends his magical departures, saying his is a history of possibilities, where fiction is "no less real for it's] being so." But when Darwin's corpse begins to lust after Colette and the African porters go on strike because the author hasn't acknowledged the important role they play, we are left to wonder: just how far is reality from...

Living and Working with the New Medical Technologies: Intersections of Inquiry
ISBN: 9780521655682 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This stimulating collection of essays, a product of a dialogue among anthropologists, sociologists, and philosopher-historians, focuses on the newly created biomedical technologies and their practical applications. Drawing on ethnographic and historical case studies, the authors show how biomedical technologies are produced through the agencies of tools and techniques, scientists and doctors, funding bodies, patients, and the public. Despite shared concerns, the authors achieve no consensus about their research objectives, and deep epistemological divides clearly remain, making for...

The Mystic and the Pig Thief
ISBN: 9781907773709 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Mystic and The Pig Thief is, in part, an elegy. It is also a book about the pain of being imperfectly assimilated, a book about being torn between the culture you come from and the society you're obliged to live in; a book about being pulled both ways while belonging to neither camp. The poems cross back and forth between bleak rural isolation and claustrophobic urban squalor, in Ireland, in England and in Europe. Mystic and Pig Thief are travellers, but more than being literally itinerant, they are spiritually homeless, and this to a terrible cost. The central sequence charts their...

The Hearing Eye: Jazz & Blues Influences in African American Visual Art
ISBN: 9780195340501 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The widespread presence of jazz and blues in African American visual art has long been overlooked. The Hearing Eye makes the case for recognizing the music's importance, both as formal template and as explicit subject matter. Moving on from the use of iconic musical figures and motifs in Harlem Renaissance art, this groundbreaking collection explores the more allusive - and elusive - references to jazz and blues in a wide range of mostly contemporary visual artists. There are scholarly essays on the painters Rose Piper (Graham Lock), Norman Lewis (Sara Wood), Bob Thompson...

Beyond the Body Proper: Reading the Anthropology of Material Life
ISBN: 9780822338451 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 704 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Over the past several decades, scholars in both the social sciences and humanities have moved beyond the idea that there is a "body proper" a singular, discrete biological organism with an individual psyche. They have begun to perceive embodiment as dynamic rather than static, as experiences that vary over time and across the world as they are shaped by discourses, institutions, practices, technologies, and ideologies. What has emerged is a multiplicity of bodies, inviting a great many disciplinary points of view and modes of interpretation. The forty-seven readings presented in this volume...
