The Jaguar and the Priest: An Ethnography of Tzeltal Souls
ISBN: 9780292737471 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 283 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In contrast to western notions of the soul as the essence or most native part of a human being, the Tzeltal-speaking Indians of Chiapas, Mexico, regard the soul first and foremost as an Other.

The Culture of Invention in the Americas: Anthropological Experiments with Roy Wagner
ISBN: 9781912385027 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Culture of Invention in the Americas takes the theoretical contribution of one of anthropology's most radical thinkers, Roy Wagner, as a basis for conceptual improvisation. It uses Wagner's most synthetic and complex insights - developed in Melanesia and captured in the title of his most famous book, The Invention of Culture - as a springboard for an exploration of other anthropological and societal imaginaries.
