  • Recovering the Human Subject

    Freedom, Creativity and Decision

    Edición de James Laidlaw, Barbara Bodenhorn, Martin Holbraad ...
    This volume responds to the often-proclaimed 'death of the subject' in post-structuralist theorizing, and to calls from across the social sciences for 'post-humanist' alternatives to liberal humanism in a distinctively anthropological manner. It asks: can we use the intellectual resources developed in those approaches and debates to reconstruct a new account of how individual human subjects are ... Leer más

    An Anthropology of Ethics and Freedom

    de James Laidlaw ...
    Series series New Departures in Anthropology
    The anthropology of ethics has become an important and fast-growing field in recent years.

    Toward a Comparative Anthropology of Religion

    de J.D.Y Peel, David Shankland, Maurice Bloch, Brian Malley, Susan Bayly, Leo Howe, Gilbert Lewis (St. John's College, Cambridge), Jack Goody, Christian K. Højbjerg ...
    Series series Cognitive Science of Religion
    Ethnographers of religion have created a vast record of religious behavior from small-scale non-literate societies to globally distributed religions in urban settings. So a theory that claims to explain prominent features of ritual, myth, and belief in all contexts everywhere causes ethnographers a skeptical pause. In Ritual and Memory, however, a wide range of ethnographers grapple critically ... Leer más

    de Ole Riis, Linda Woodhead ...
    This timely book aims to change the way we think about religion by putting emotion back onto the agenda.

Against the view that religious emotion is a purely private matter, it offers a new framework which shows how religious emotions arise in the varied ... Leer más

  • The Location of Culture

    de Homi K. Bhabha ...
    Series series Routledge Classics
    Rethinking questions of identity, social agency and national affiliation, Bhabha provides a working, if controversial, theory of cultural hybridity - one that goes far beyond previous attempts by others. In The Location of Culture, he uses concepts such as mimicry, interstice, hybridity, and liminality to argue that cultural production is always most productive where it is most ambivalent. ...

Can we abstain from judging one another's practices? Do we truly have divergent views about what constitutes good and evil, virtue and vice, harm and welfare, dignity and humiliation, or is there some underlying ... Leer más

  • Critical Terms for the Study of Gender

    Edición de Catharine R. Stimpson, Gilbert Herdt ...
    "Gender systems pervade and regulate human lives—in law courts and operating rooms, ballparks and poker clubs, hair-dressing salons and kitchens, classrooms and playgroups. . . . Exactly how gender works varies from culture to culture, and from historical period to historical period, but gender is very rarely not at work. Nor does gender operate in isolation. It is linked to other social ... Leer más
