Shamanism, History, and the State
ISBN: 9780472084012 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The literature on shamanism and related topics is extensive, but has in general been biased toward curing and trance; the political and historical significance of shamanic activities has been largely neglected.

Bad Colonists: The South Seas Letters of Vernon Lee Walker and Louis Becke
ISBN: 9780822322221 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In "Bad Colonists" Nicholas Thomas and Richard Eves provide a window into the fantasies and realities of colonial life by presenting separate sets of letters by two late-nineteenth-century British colonists of the South Pacific: Vernon Lee Walker and Louis Becke.

Entangled Objects: Exchange, Material Culture, and Colonialism in the Pacific
ISBN: 9780674257313 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Entangled Objects threatens to dislodge the cornerstone of Western anthropology by rendering permanently problematic the idea of reciprocity. All traffic, and commerce, whether economic or intellectual, between Western anthropologists and the rest of the world, is predicated upon the possibility of establishing reciprocal relations between the West and the indigenous peoples it has colonized for centuries. Drawing on his work on contemporary postcolonial Pacific societies, Nicholas Thomas takes up three issues central to modern anthropology: the cultural and political dynamics...

Governance and Regionalism in Asia
ISBN: 9780415667159 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In the decade since the Asian financial crisis the ten states of Southeast Asia that form ASEAN, together with China, Japan and South Korea have formed the basis of a community intended to support the well-being of its member states, markets and peoples. This highly successful regionalisation was not anticipated by the region's leaders, however, and as a result, policy makers are increasingly talking about 'meeting fatigue' and the need to find a better way to govern regional affairs. Among the reforms being considered is a shift towards a more rules-based culture as well as the more...

Double Vision: Art Histories and Colonial Histories in the Pacific
ISBN: 9780521659987 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Taking as its departure point Bernard Smith's classic study, European Vision and the South Pacific (1960), Double Vision explores the ambivalences of European perceptions of the Pacific and juxtaposes them with the indigenous visual cultures that challenge Western assumptions about art and representation. Double Vision addresses these larger interpretive questions through case studies of the cultures of voyages, colonial art, and indigenous affirmations of identity. It suggests that images and texts can be combined through a new practice of innovative, visually oriented cultural history. This...
