Książki o kulturze, to niezwykle bogaty dział publikacji, które pozwolą poznać bogactwo kulturowe innych krajów, a także inną różnorodną tematykę dotyczącą odkrywania wytworów człowieka. Wiąże się to bezpośrednio z etnologią, która zajmuje się takimi badaniami.
Etnologia, to jedna z dyscyplin, obok etnografii, antropologii kulturowej i społecznej, wchodzących w zakres antropologii – nauki o człowieku i jego kulturze. Terminy te często traktowane są jako synonimy tej samej dziedziny badań. Etnologia jest terminem używanym przez przedstawicieli europejskiej i kontynentalnej nauki o człowieku i odpowiada niemieckiemu terminowi Völkerkunde (badania ludów pierwotnych). Etnologia klasyfikuje ludy na podstawie cech środowiskowych i kulturowych oraz opisuje poszczególne kultury.

	Eunuchs and Sacred Boundaries in Islamic Society ISBN: 9780195071016 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 176 str. ISBN: 9780195071016/Angielski/Twarda/1995/176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Shaun Elizabeth Marmon In this thought-provoking interdisciplinary work, Shaun Marmon describes how eunuchs, as a category of people who embodied ambiguity, both defined and mediated critical thresholds of moral and physical space in the household, in the palace and in the tomb of pre-modern Islamic society. The author's central focus is on the sacred society of eunuchs who guarded the tomb of the Prophet Muhammad in Medina for over six centuries and whose last representatives still perform many of their time honored rituals to this day. Through Marmon's account, the "sacred" eunuchs of Medina become historical...

	Aggression and Peacefulness in Humans and Other Primates ISBN: 9780195071191 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 328 str. ISBN: 9780195071191/Angielski/Twarda/1992/328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. James Silverberg; J. Patrick Gray This book explores the role of aggression in primate social systems and its implications for human behavior. Many people look to primate studies to see if and how we might be able to predict violent behavior in humans, or ultimately to control war. Of particular interest in the study of primate aggression are questions such as: how do primates use aggression to maintain social organization; what are the costs of aggression; why do some primates avoid aggressive behavior altogether. Students and researchers in primatology, behavioral biology, anthropology, and psychology will read with...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Richard S. Caldwell This innovative study posits that myths in general, and Greek theogonic myth in particular, have a latent meaning that is responsible both for the emotional energy inherent in myths, and for the special attraction they have even to those who no longer believe in their literal meaning. Caldwell describes, in clear and comprehensible language, aspects of psychoanalytic theory relevant to the understanding of Greek myth, implementing a psychoanalytic methodology to interpret the Greek myth of origin and succession, particularly as stated in Hesiod's Theogony. In reassessing this work,... This innovative study posits that myths in general, and Greek theogonic myth in particular, have a latent meaning that is responsible both for the emo...

	Making a Place for Ourselves: The Black Hospital Movement, 1920-1945 ISBN: 9780195078893 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 296 str. ISBN: 9780195078893/Angielski/Twarda/1995/296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Vanessa Northington Gamble Making a Place for Ourselves examines an important but not widely chronicled event at the intersection of African-American history and American medical history--the black hospital movement. A practical response to the racial realities of American life, the movement was a "self-help" endeavor--immediate improvement of separate medical institutions insured the advancement and health of African Americans until the slow process of integration could occur. Recognizing that their careers depended on access to hospitals, black physicians associated with the two leading black medical...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Cecelia Tichi We all talk about the "tube" or "box," as if television were simply another appliance like the refrigerator or toaster oven. But Cecilia Tichi argues that TV is actually an environment--a pervasive screen-world that saturates almost every aspect of modern life. In Electronic Hearth, she looks at how that environment evolved, and how it, in turn, has shaped the American experience. Tichi explores almost fifty years of writing about television--in novels, cartoons, journalism, advertising, and critical books and articles--to define the role of television in the American consciousness. She... We all talk about the "tube" or "box," as if television were simply another appliance like the refrigerator or toaster oven. But Cecilia Tichi argues ...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Lindsey Harlan; Paul B. Courtright Providing a unique and intimate view of Hindu marriage, the essays in this collection explore points at which the margins of marriage are traversed or transgressed. Rather than focus on normative expectations within marriage, they examine times in which norms are tested or rejected. Using stories, songs, and narrated accounts, the essays treat such topics as widowhood, adultery, levirate, divorce, and suttee, as well as the subversion of marriage by devotion to deities and by alternative constructions of conjugal duty and marital experience.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Genevieve E. Fabre; Robert O'Meally; Genevieve Fabre As Nathan Huggins once stated, altering American history to account fully for the nation's black voices would change the tone and meaning--the frame and the substance--of the entire story. Rather than a sort of Pilgrim's Progress tale of bold ascent and triumph, American history with the black parts told in full would be transmuted into an existential tragedy, closer, Huggins said, to Sartre's No Exit than to the vision of life in Bunyan. The relation between memory and history has received increasing attention both from historians and from literary critics. In this...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Clifford Christians; John P. Ferre; P. Mark Fackler Mass media ethics and the classical liberal ideal of the autonomous individual are historically linked and professionally dominant--yet the authors of this work feel this is intrinsically flawed. They show how recent research in philosophy and social science--together with a longer tradition in theological inquiry--insist that community, mutuality, and relationship are fundamental to a full concept of personhood. The authors argue that "persons-in-community" provides a more defensible grounding for journalists' professional moral decision-making in crucial areas such as truthtelling, privacy,...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. John Hope Franklin From John Hope Franklin, America's foremost African American historian, comes this groundbreaking analysis of slave resistance and escape. A sweeping panorama of plantation life before the Civil War, this book reveals that slaves frequently rebelled against their masters and ran away from their plantations whenever they could. For generations, important aspects about slave life on the plantations of the American South have remained shrouded. Historians thought, for instance, that slaves were generally pliant and resigned to their roles as human chattel, and that racial violence...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Mark S. Aldenderfer; Herbert D. G.

Among the projects described here are studies of land degradation in the Peruvian Amazon, settlement patterns in the Pacific northwest, ethnic distribution within the Los Angeles garment industry, and...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. James Richard Farr A sociocultural analysis of the relationships among law, religion, and sexual morality in Burgundy during the Catholic Reformation, this book is divided into two, interrelated parts: the world of prescription and the world of practice. The first part examines the construction of authority, focusing primarily upon Burgundy's dominant elite legal community. The second part of the book examines the deployment of authority, and its appropriation by French men and women. The new moral order focused on sexuality and the imposition of this order involved a legal contest over the disposition of...

In this vividly written and insightful analysis, Gwen Kennedy Neville uses this civic ceremony as a window for glimpsing the process of ritual, symbol, and experience in the development of the concept of "the town" in Western culture. Based on extensive fieldwork in the town of Selkirk, The Mother Town looks at the Common Riding in...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Leo Bogart American mass media are the world's most diverse, rich and free. But their dazzling resources, variety, and influence cannot be rated by the envy they arouse in other countries. Their failures are commonly excused on the grounds that they are creatures of the market, that they give people what they want. This book focusses not on the glories of the media, but on what is wrong with them and why, and how they may be made better. This powerful critique of American mass communications highlights four trends that together sound an urgent call for reform: the blurring of distinctions among...

This process was met by organized opposition and a general level of public antipathy that has been almost entirely overlooked by previous scholarship. McChesney highlights the activities and arguments of this early broadcast reform movement of the 1930s. The reformers argued that commercial broadcasting was inimical to the communication requirements of a democratic society and that the only solution was to have a dominant role for nonprofit and noncommercial...
