Emile Durkheim
ISBN: 9780754675631 / Angielski / Twarda / 568 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A new appreciation of Durkheim, now into its fourth decade, has extended our grasp of his intellectual ambitions beyond standard academic boundaries. Contributions to this revival of interest in Durkheim, many secreted away in obscure periodicals, are well worth being recognized for their unqualified excellence in helping us to uncover the original Durkheimian intellectual project in all its interdisciplinary complexity. Besides classic Durkheimian subjects such as religion, social solidarity and suicide, these studies bring to light Durkheim's intellectual inquiry into political theory,...

Representing AIDS in Africa
ISBN: 9783838305806 / Angielski / Miękka / 60 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Consider the manner in which the AIDS epidemic in Africa has been presented in US print media. One need only look at back issues of any major news publication to identify certain recurring themes and images. AIDS presented unprecedented challenges to the ill; it has been attached to a set of stereotypes and assumptions about the peripheral populations traditionally afflicted with the disease. Motivation to pursue the development of treatment was tainted by perceptions of AIDS. One of the challenges inherent in research and treatment issues of the AIDS epidemic is the representation of AIDS...

Interpreting the Narrative of Peyote Woman
ISBN: 9783838316406 / Angielski / Miękka / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This project is equally a work of structuralist folkloristics and a meditation on indigenous hermeneutics. Part I is an examination of the narrative structure of the origin story of the Peyote Way: the Narrative of Peyote Woman. The researcher unpacks the traits ("elements"), morphology ("canonical pattern"), and binary opposition ("deep structure") to get at the historicity embedded in the tale (the "ur-tale" arguably being a "memorate"). Part II is an exploration of several ethnographic interviews the researcher conducted with Crow Indian members of the Native American Church (NAC) or...

Following the downturn of the transitional economy in Kazakhstan in the 1990s, hundreds of thousands of Kazakh villagers left their homes for urban areas. This research examines the notions of identity, ancestry, the shejyre (Kazakh historical narratives articulating ancestral ties), and the nation that emerged in the testimonies of recent rural to urban migrants in Almaty. In addition, special attention is paid to how their experiences of displacement and adjustment to their new environment have been systematically misconstrued in urban mass media and social analysis in a fashion that...

This book examines women-specific ritual songs in the Kiswahili language as sang in Western Kenya. Through a reading of songs by women in their rituals, the discussion investigates the dualism between men and women in the said communities.Through analysis of the women‟s poetic creations (Nyimbo za Kike) we understand how the people harmonize the male/female distinction into a social whole.

Prehistoric Settlements on the Red Sea Coast of Eritrea
ISBN: 9783838360256 / Angielski / Miękka / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book presents results of recent archaeological fieldwork on the Red Sea coast of Eritrea, NE Africa. The project documented more than a dozen sites representing Middle and Later Stone Age settlements from inland and near coastal landscapes. The evidence suggests repeated human presence on the Eritrean coast in the Later Pleistocene and Holocene times. Archaeological evidence from the Red Sea coast of Eritrea is important in the context of current debate on early human dispersal history out of Africa. Later Pleistocene hunter-gatherers specifically adapted to coastal habitats...

Markers of Midlife
ISBN: 9783838319414 / Angielski / Miękka / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the cultural imagination, midlife signifies the onset of ageing and is thus framed in a discourse of decline. For women, it is often considered in terms of menopause and the end of fecundity and fertility. This book proposes that womens experience of midlife is much broader than this; instead, it is characterised by transformation in multiple life domains and health status is important. The continuity theory of ageing is useful here: identity is re/constructed during the ageing process in response to changing bodily circumstances, such as health problems. Women in rural Australia described...

Healing the Wounds of War
ISBN: 9783838316970 / Angielski / Miękka / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In recent years, the issue of child participation in armed conflicts has captured the attention of the world. Cruel images of child soldiers are broadcasted around the globe in the hope to provoke an international strive against the growing numbers of children involved in and affected by conflict. Although the world is responding, the goal of bringing the involvement of children in or children being affected by war to an end is far from being reached. Especially when it comes to healing the wounds of war. The ultimate goal of this book is to work towards a possible strategy to reintegrate...

Literalmente, la Chontalpa del actual estado mexicano de Oaxaca, significaba una tierra desconocida, segun los conquistadores y misioneros dominicanos en el siglo XVI. Los espanoles batallaron para poder controlar sus riquezas y poblaciones. A su vez, los chontales tuvieron que negociar sus dominios y su identidad bajo el regimen colonial y catolico.

Este trabajo estudia ambos tipos de documentos para reconstruir las constelaciones y cambios en la organizacion sociopolitica de la region, abarcando el ultimo...

Moroccan Tea Ritual: Religion, Gender, Socio-Economics and Hospitality
ISBN: 9783838340647 / Angielski / Miękka / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. While much has been written about Japanese and Chinese tea ritual, Moroccan tea ritual is equally as pervasive and symbolic of Moroccan culture, if not quite as well known. It represents elements of religion, gender differentiation, socio-economics and hospitality that indicate core values by which Moroccans live their daily lives. A relatively recent phenomenon, tea ritual in Morocco is one of the most fundamental food habits practiced by the vast majority of the population. Through examples of personal experiences of the tea ritual, this thesis explores how the ritual embodies these basic...
