The Creation of God
ISBN: 9789052016443 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book develops a scientific approach to the phenomenon of religion. It is the conviction of the author that such an approach can only be comparative in nature, in order to overcome centuries of religiously biased views on religion. From an anthropological point of view the phenomenological school of thought is intrinsically religionistic (i.e., influenced by a particular religious frame of reference).
The author formulates a model which seeks to distinguish between three irreducible religious ways (ritualistic, mythagogic and shamanistic), of which religious forms at the object level...

When God Comes to Town: Religious Traditions in Urban Contexts
ISBN: 9781845455545 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Around 1800 roughly three per cent of the human population lived in urban areas; by 2030 this number is expected to have gone up to some seventy per cent. This poses problems for traditional religions that are all rooted in rural, small-scale societies. The authors in this volume question what the possible appeal of these old religions, such as Christianity, Judaism, or Islam could be in the new urban environment and, conversely, what impact global urbanization will have on learning and on the performance and nature of ritual. Anthropologists, historians and political scientists have come...

Multimathemacy: Anthropology and Mathematics Education
ISBN: 9783319262536 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book defends that math education should systematically start out from the diverse out-of-school knowledge of children and develop trajectories from there to the Academic Mathematics tower of knowledge. Learning theories of the sociocultural school (Vygotsky and on) are used here, and ethnographic knowledge from around the world is shown to offer a rich and varied base for curricula. The book takes a political stand against the exclusively western focus in OECD analyses and proposals on math education.

Culture and Politics: Identity and Conflict in a Multicultural World
ISBN: 9781571813350 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. With "race" being discredited as a rallying cry for populist movements because of the atrocities committed in its name during World War II, "culture" has been adopted by right-wing groups instead, but used in the same exclusionary manner as racism was. This volume examines the essentialism, which is implicit in racial theories and re-emerges in the ideological use of cultural identity in new rightist movements, and presents case studies from different parts of the world where researchers were confronted with racism and worked out ways of coping with it. With "race" being discredited as a rallying cry for populist movements because of the atrocities committed in its name during World War II, "cultu... |

ISBN: 9783030974817 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023 / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The book presents a series of ethnographic studies, which illustrate issues of wider importance, such as the role of cultural traditions, concepts and learning procedures in the development of formal (or mathematical) thinking outside of the western tradition. It focuses on research at the crossroads of anthropology and ethnomathematics to document indigenous mathematical knowledge and its inclusion in specific cultural patterns. More generally, the book demonstrates the heuristic value of crossing ethnographical, anthropological and ethnomathematical approaches to highlight and analyze—or...

This volume focuses on the ethical and philosophical issues that arise in an aging society, and the implications of these issues for healthcare and social policy.
