Far from the storm centers of the American civil rights movement, off-camera and outside most reporters' beats, countless, nameless individuals reached their own accords with the era's massive changes.

Drawing on the author's long career as a southern journalist, this series of closely related sketches, stories, and essays recounts what James calls the "hidden story of the civil rights movement." Set mainly in Georgia, North... Far from the storm centers of the American civil rights movement, off-camera and outside most reporters' beats, countless, nameless individuals rea... |

Heraldry, Pageantry and Social Display in Medieval England
ISBN: 9781843830368 / Angielski / Miękka / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Medieval culture was intensely visual. Although this has long been recognised by art historians and by enthusiasts for particular media, there has been little attempt to study social display as a subject in its own right. And yet, display takes us directly into the values, aspirations and, indeed, anxieties of past societies. In this illustrated volume a group of experts address a series of interrelated themes around the issue of display and do so in a way which avoids jargon and overly technical language. Among the themes are family and lineage, social distinction and aspiration, ceremony...

Rite Out of Place: Ritual, Media, and the Arts
ISBN: 9780195301441 / Angielski / Twarda / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Much ritual studies scholarship still focuses on central religious rites. For this reason, Grimes argues, dominant theories, like the data they consider, remain stubbornly conservative. This book issues a challenge to these theories and to popular conceptions of ritual. Rite Out of Place collects 10 revised essays originally published in widely varied sources across the past five years. Grimes has selected for inclusion those essays that track ritual as it haunts the edges of cultural boundaries-ritual converging with theater, ritual on television, ritual at the edge of natural...

ISBN: 9780230615311 / Angielski / Twarda / 259 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Despite recent interest in forgiveness and reconciliation, relatively little research has been conducted on forgiveness in literary studies. A Poetics of Forgiveness explores the profound links between creativity and forgiveness, and argues that creative production and interpretation can play a vital role in practices of forgiveness. Developing a model of "poetic forgiveness" through the work of Julia Kristeva, Jacques Derrida, and Kelly Oliver, A Poetics of Forgiveness asks how forgiveness is expressed in literature and other art forms, and what creative works can bring to secular debates on...

The editor of this volume takes on the challenging task of presenting an encompassing view of childbirth in America from an anthropological perspective. The book is indeed comprehensive. . . . Collectively the chapters in "Childbirth in America" lay out a representative sketch of research problems of interest to sociocultural anthropologists and other social scientists working in the area of reproductive health.

The Anthropology of Cannibalism
ISBN: 9780897895965 / Angielski / Twarda / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Using new case data from South American, Australian, and Papua New Guinean societies, the authors explore how cultural ideas for humanity are reflected in seemingly universal understandings of our potential for anthropophagy. Whether or not a society actually practices cannibalism, these conceptions are often articulated at the level of folklore and myth, where flesh-eating is imbued with symbolic meanings centered on ideas about regeneration after death, the equivalence between human flesh and food, and the morality of social exchange in and between groups. Thus, cannibalism emerges at... Using new case data from South American, Australian, and Papua New Guinean societies, the authors explore how cultural ideas for humanity are refle... |

New Research on Food Habits
ISBN: 9781604568646 / Angielski / Twarda / 126 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Food habits are constantly being impacted by the perpetually increasing amount of information available to every person. Print and electronic media is full of advice regarding what should be eaten and why. Recommendations are often conflicting. Many foods are declared detrimental to health on one day and beneficial the next. The average consumer ends up being confused or even disillusioned by the scientific method. A major reason for the confusion is that any food item is a heterogeneous mixture of hundreds of compounds, and the effect of one isolated compound may be the opposite of another...
