The New History in an Old Museum: Creating the Past at Colonial Williamsburg
ISBN: 9780822319740 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "The New History in an Old Museum" is an exploration of "historical truth" as presented at Colonial Williamsburg. More than a detailed history of a museum and tourist attraction, it examines the packaging of American history, and consumerism and the manufacturing of cultural beliefs. Through extensive fieldwork--including numerous site visits, interviews with employees and visitors, and archival research--Richard Handler and Eric Gable illustrate how corporate sensibility blends with pedagogical principle in Colonial Williamsburg to blur the lines between education and entertainment,...

Significant Others: Interpersonal and Professional Commitments in Anthropology
ISBN: 9780299194703 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 297 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Anthropology is by definition about "others," but in this volume the phrase refers not to members of observed cultures, but to "significant others" spouses, lovers, and others with whom anthropologists have deep relationships that are both personal and professional. The essays in this volume look at the roles of these spouses and partners of anthropologists over the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, especially their work as they accompanied the anthropologists in the field. Other relationships discussed include those between anthropologists and informants, mentors and students,...

Central Sites, Peripheral Visions, 11: Cultural and Institutional Crossings in the History of Anthropology
ISBN: 9780299219208 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The terms "center" and "periphery" are particularly relevant to anthropologists, since traditionally they look outward from institutional "centers"-universities, museums, government bureaus-to learn about people on the "peripheries." Yet anthropology itself, as compared with economics, politics, or history, occupies a space somewhat on the margins of academe. Still, anthropologists, who control esoteric knowledge about the vast range of human variation, often find themselves in a theoretically central position, able to critique the "universal" truths promoted by other...

Nationalism and the Politics of Culture in Quebec
ISBN: 9780299115142 / Angielski / Miękka / 1988 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Richard Handler's pathbreaking study of nationalistic politics in Quebec is a striking and successful example of the new experimental type of ethnography, interdisciplinary in nature and intensively concerned with rhetoric and not only of anthropologists but also of scholars in a wide range of fields, and it is likely to stir sharp controversy.
Bringing together methodologies of history, sociology, political science, and philosophy, as well as anthropology, Handler centers on the period 1976-1984, during which the independantiste Parti Quebeois was in control of the provincial...

Excluded Ancestors, Inventible Traditions: Essays Toward a More Inclusive History of Anthropology
ISBN: 9780299163945 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Excluded Ancestors focuses on little-known scholars who contributed significantly to the anthropological work of their time, but whose work has since been marginalized due to categorical boundaries of race, class, gender, citizenship, institutional and disciplinary affiliation, and English-language proficiency.
The essays in Excluded Ancestors illustrate varied processes of inclusion and exclusion in the history of anthropology, examining the careers of John William Jackson, the members of the Hampton Folk-Lore Society, Charlotte Gower Chapman, Lucie Varga, Marius Barbeau,...

"This book offers ethnographic journeys into the daily work of cultural imaginations by giving attention to what is generally neglected: their vehicles. Not only functional supports or futile material dresses, cars, boats or planes are here delightedly addressed as morale-boosting devices engaged in situated social relations...

Scattering from Black Holes
ISBN: 9780521112109 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book investigates the propagation of waves in the presence of black holes. Astrophysical black holes may eventually be probed by these techniques. The authors emphasise intuitive physical thinking in their treatment of the techniques of analysis of scattering, but alternate this with chapters on the rigourous mathematical development of the subject. High and low energy limiting cases are treated extensively and semi-classical results are also obtained. The analogy between Newtonian gravitational scattering and Coulomb quantum mechanical scattering is fully exploited. The book introduces...
