Violence
ISBN: 9780826460080 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This text explores the meanings and contexts in which violent actions occur.

Adopting an approach which looks at the negotiated and contingent nature of violent behaviour, Stewart and Strathern particularly stress the powerful underlying motivation for revenge and the often unacknowledged association between ideas of revenge and concepts of...

Language and Culture in Dialogue
ISBN: 9780367785727 / Angielski / Miękka / 2021 / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this book, Andrew J. Strathern and Pamela J. Stewart delineate the relationship between “language in particular” and “culture in general” by focusing on language as both social practice and a means of classifying and interpreting the world. A traditional linguistic approach to a focus on language is illuminated by their anthropological emphasis on the embodiment of relationships and experience. In the book, the body is placed in the foreground for understanding language in culture, which helps in turn to understand how it enables us to adapt to the world of lived material...
