ISBN: 9780807072615 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. After more than fifty years of good health, anthropologist Paul Stoller suddenly found himself diagnosed with lymphoma.

Stranger in the Village of the Sick follows Stoller down this unexpected path toward personal discovery, growth, and healing. The stories here are about life in the village of the healthy and the village of the sick, and they highlight differences in how illness is...

The most prolific ethnographic filmmaker in the world, a pioneer of cinema verite and one of the earliest ethnographers of African societies, Jean Rouch (1917-) remains a controversial and often misunderstood figure in histories of anthropology and film.

This book emerges from the author's 35 years of research and thought about the Songhay people of Niger. This ethnographic novel follows the life of Omar Dia, the oldest son of a West African sorcerer. When his father falls ill and dies, the great sorcerer vomits a small metal chain onto his chest.

The Taste of Ethnographic Things: The Senses in Anthropology
ISBN: 9780812212921 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Anthropologists who have lost their senses write ethnographies that are often disconnected from the worlds they seek to portray. For most anthropologists, Stoller contends, tasteless theories are more important than the savory sauces of ethnographic life. That they have lost the smells, sounds, and tastes of the places they study is unfortunate for them, for their subjects, and for the discipline itself. "The Taste of Ethnographic Things" describes how, through long-term participation in the lives of the Songhay of Niger, Stoller eventually came to his senses. Taken together, the...

Fusion of the Worlds: An Ethnography of Possession Among the Songhay of Niger
ISBN: 9780226775456 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "This ethnography is more like a film than a book, so well does Stoller evoke the color, sight, sounds, and movements of Songhay possession ceremonies."--Choice
"Stoller brilliantly recreates the reality of spirit presence; hosts are what they mediate, and spirits become flesh and blood in the 'fusion' with human existence. . . . An excellent demonstration of the benefits of a new genre of ethnographic writing. It expands our understanding of the harsh world of Songhay mediums and sorcerers."--Bruce Kapferer, American Ethnologist "A vivid story that will appeal to a wide...

The Power of the Between: An Anthropological Odyssey
ISBN: 9780226775357 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. It is the anthropologist s fate to always be between things: countries, languages, cultures, even realities. But rather than lament this, anthropologist Paul Stoller here celebrates the creative power of the between, showing how it can transform us, changing our conceptions of who we are, what we know, and how we live in the world.
Beginning with his early days with the Peace Corps in Africa and culminating with a recent bout with cancer, The Power of the Between is an evocative account of the circuitous path Stoller s life has taken, offering a fascinating depiction of how a career...

Senuous Scholarship
ISBN: 9780812216158 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Among the Songhay of Mali and Niger, who consider the stomach the seat of personality, learning is understood not in terms of mental activity but in bodily terms. Songhay bards study history by "eating the words of the ancestors," and sorcerers learn their art by ingesting particular substances, by testing their flesh with knives, by mastering pain and illness. In Sensuous Scholarship Paul Stoller challenges contemporary social theorists and cultural critics who--using the notion of embodiment to critique Eurocentric and phallocentric predispositions in scholarly thought--consider the...
