Audit Cultures: Anthropological Studies in Accountability, Ethics and the Academy
ISBN: 9780415233279 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Do audit cultures deliver greater responsibility, or do they stifle creative thought?
We are all increasingly subjected to auditing, and alongside that, subject to accountability for our behaviour and actions. Audit cultures pervade in the workplace, our governmental and public institutions as well as academia. However, audit practices themselves have consequences, beneficial and detrimental, that often go unexamined. This book examines how pervasive practices of accountability are, the political and cultural conditions under which accountability flourishes and the consequences of their...

Partial Connections
ISBN: 9780759107595 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Updated with a new Preface, this seminal work challenges the routine ways in which anthropologists have thought about the complexity and quantity of their materials. Marilyn Strathern focuses on a problem normally regarded as commonplace; that of scale and proportion. She combines a wide-ranging interest in current theoretical issues with close attention to the cultural details of social life, attempting to establish proportionality between them. Strathern gives equal weight to two areas of contemporary debate: The difficulties inherent in anthropologically representing complex societies, and...

Arrow Talk: Transaction, Transition, and Contradiction in New Guinea Highlands History
ISBN: 9780873386616 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Arrow Talk makes a significant contribution to the understanding of Melanesian culture and contemporary sociopolitical issues in Papua New Guinea. In a post modern era in which culture has been dismissed by many anthropologists as a reification, this book makes a cogent argument for cultural holism by showing how symbolic, psychological, religious and linguistic factors have combined to shape Melpa responses to the political and economic crises they have had to face in the waning years of the millennium. This analysis also contributes notably to the development of anthropological...

Shifting Contexts: Transformations in Anthropological Knowledge
ISBN: 9780415107952 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. To suppose anthropological analysis can shift between global and local perspectives may well imply that the two co-exist as broader and narrower horizons or contexts of knowledge. The proof for this can be found in ethnographic accounts where contrasts are repeatedly drawn between the encompassing realm and everyday life or in value systems which sumultaneously trivialise and aggrandise or in shifts between what pertains to the general or to the particular.

The Gender of the Gift: Problems with Women and Problems with Society in Melanesia
ISBN: 9780520072022 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 437 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. In the most original and ambitious synthesis yet undertaken in Melanesian scholarship, Marilyn Strathern argues that gender relations have been a particular casualty of unexamined assumptions held by Western anthropologists and feminist scholars alike. The book treats with equal seriousness--and with equal good humor--the insights of Western social science, feminist politics, and ethnographic reporting, in order to rethink the representation of Melanesian social and cultural life. This makes The Gender of the Gift one of the most sustained critiques of cross-cultural comparison that...

Kinship, Law and the Unexpected: Relatives Are Always a Surprise
ISBN: 9780521615099 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Marilyn Strathern takes up an issue at the heart of studies of society--anthropologists using relationships to uncover relationships. The role of relations in western (Euro-American) knowledge practices, from the scientific revolution onwards, raises a question about the extent to which Euro-American kinship is the kinship of a knowledge-based society. This argument takes the reader through current issues in biotechnology, new family formations and legal interventions, as well as intellectual property debates, to matters of personhood and ownership afforded by material from Melanesia and...
