Cabinet 49: Death
ISBN: 9781932698480 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The cultural, social and scientific management of death--how to postpone it, how to prepare for it, what to do with remains, how to remember the deceased--forms the rarely acknowledged framework for the formation of society.

The many ways in which we live with, and despite, this knowledge inform the focus of Cabinet 49, with its special section on -Death.- Contributions include Stacey Roberts on the science of delaying death; Simon Jonasson on DIY burials; Elga Holt on the difference...

Cabinet 59: The North
ISBN: 9781932698671 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The idea of the North in modernity--its associations with sparseness and scarcity, to hardships and remoteness--has fed countless narratives of journeying to places and fates unknown. In classical antiquity, however, the north was a place of perfection. In the 5th century BCE, Pindar wrote of the wonders of Hyperborea--a northerly land whose natives lived unaffected by -sickness or ruinous old age, - by -toil or battles.- The poet also claimed this kingdom could be found -neither by ship nor on foot, - and it is this mix of terrestrial encounter and lyric indeterminacy that continues to...

Which also happens to be 17 Dhu al-Qada 1436. And 17 Elul 5775. And 19 Wu 4713. The passage of time may be immutable, but the innumerable systems (Gregorian, Islamic, Hebrew and Chinese, respectively, above) that have been used to order our experience of Earth's transit through the solar system suggest that our methods of measuring it are not. With its roots in the Latin kalendae--meaning -the called, - the word refers to the practice of Roman priests -calling- the first day of each Roman month--the calendar...

ISBN: 9781932698701 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. One of only a handful of substances produced in nature expressly as food, milk is fundamental for infant mammalian nutrition, but is also foundational in human myth and religion.

Cabinet 58: Theft
ISBN: 9781932698664 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Across history, the morality of taking what belongs to another has been of concern to both theologians and lawmakers. Yet theft necessarily raises the question of what constitutes ownership, opening onto a longstanding philosophical debate about the relationship between property, freedom and virtue that stretches from Plato through Aquinas, Kant and Marx to contemporary theorists of intellectual property. And the different kinds of stealing--embezzlement, fraud, extortion, piracy, shoplifting--are as expansive as the categories of things (objects, ideas, images, styles, identities) that are...

Cabinet 60: Containers
ISBN: 9781932698688 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Just as the very first constructed containers emerged at a time when new techniques of food gathering and storage began to give rise to novel technologies of collection, transportation and conservation, so too have the innovations in -packaging- across the hundreds of intervening millennia both flowed from, and made possible, new modes of social, cultural and economic activity. Familiar throughout history on both the domestic (from hollowed gourds or animal skin pouches to clay pots, amphorae, and glass jars and bottles) and commercial scales (from chests and barrels to tin cans, cardboard...
