Mal Uocchiu Ambiguity Evil Eye
ISBN: 9780802079220 / Angielski / Miękka / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The evil eye has received considerable attention in the literature of disciplines as diverse as anthropology and medicine. Researchers have attempted to identify and explain this essentially ambiguous and variable phenomenon from a number of perspectives - as a culture-bound syndrome, an idiom of distress, a mechanism of social control, and a representation of psychobiological fear. In Mal'uocchiu: Ambiguity, Evil Eye, and the Language of Distress, Sam Migliore shifts the focus of discussion from paradigms to a practical examination of how people use the notion of the evil eye in...

The Canadian Sioux
ISBN: 9780803223271 / Angielski / Twarda / 207 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
