Download or read book Meaning in Anthropos written by Kevin R. D. Shepherd and published by Hyperion Books. This book was released on 1991 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written in 1984 during his Cambridge amateur period, this was the author's first phase explication of his daring alternative science. It is the most important of his early works. Commencing with a riposte to the cultural materialist trend in anthropology, the thesis branches out over various disciplines, attempting to expand upon leitmotifs supplied in the early chapters. There are critical surveys of evolutionist thought, anthropological theories, the history of science, the history of religions, psychological theories, mind-brain philosophy, Western philosophy and sociological theories. A polymathic ideal is expressed in part one, while the extension in critical surveys comprises part two, which forms the main bulk of the book.

Download or read book Charred Lullabies written by E. Valentine Daniel and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1996-11-11 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does an ethnographer write about violence? How can he make sense of violent acts, for himself and for his readers, without compromising its sheer excess and its meaning-defying core? How can he remain a scholarly observer when the country of his birth is engulfed by terror? These are some of the questions that engage Valentine Daniel in this exploration of life and death in contemporary Sri Lanka. In 1983 Daniel "walked into the ashes and mortal residue" of the violence that had occurred in his homeland. His planned project--the study of women's folk songs as ethnohistory--was immediately displaced by the responsibility that he felt had been given to him, by surviving family members and friends of victims, to recount beyond Sri Lanka what he had seen and heard there. Trained to do fieldwork by staying in one place and educated to look for coherence and meaning in human behavior, what does an anthropologist do when he is forced by circumstances to keep moving, searching for reasons he never finds? How does he write an ethnography (or an anthropography, to use the author's term) without transforming it into a pornography of violence? In avoiding fattening the anthropography into prurience, how does he avoid flattening it with theory? The ways in which Daniel grapples with these questions, and their answers, instill this groundbreaking book with a rare sense of passion, purpose, and intellect.

Download or read book American Geography and Geographers written by Geoffrey J. Martin and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 1241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rise of American geography as a distinctive science in the United States straddles the 19th and 20th centuries, extending from the post-Civil war period to 1970. American Geography and Geographers: Toward Geographic Science is the first book to thoroughly and richly explicate this history. Its author, Geoffrey J. Martin, the foremost historian on the subject and official archivist of the Association of American Geographers, amassed a wealth of primary sources from archives worldwide, which enable him to chart the evolution of American geography with unprecedented detail and context. From the initial influence of the German school to the emergence of Geography as a unique discipline in American universities and thereafter, Martin clarifies the what, how and when of each advancement. Expansive discussion of the arguments made, controversies ignited and research voyages move hand in hand with the principals who originated and animated them: Davis, Jefferson, Huntington, Bowman, Johnson, Sauer, Hartshorne, and many more. From their grasp of local, regional, global and cultural phenomena, geographers also played pivotal roles in world historical events, including the two world wars and their treaties, as the US became the dominant global power. American Geography and Geographers: Toward Geographical Science is a conclusive study of the birth and maturation of the science. It will be of interest to geographers, teachers and students of geography, and all those compelled by the story of American Geography and those who founded and developed it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The science of Anthropology has now arrived at a turning-point in its history. It is no longer a science of mere statistics and system atized data, but has become what it always professed to be, a branch of general biology. Therefore the present moment is espe dally fitted for looking back upon past achievement. Whoever casts a glance at the work of anthropological research in Holland, will probably feel some disappointment at themeagre results obtained, as compared with the immense amount of labour spent on the subject. Yet it is encouraging to remember that all pioneer-work requires great and prolonged exertion in preparing the ground, whereas perhaps only later generations will harvest the grain. What can be the reason that anthropological research in Hol land isstillso backward? Let us try to indicate some ofthe causes, and at the same time attempt to find means to insure greater success in future. Perhaps we shall be able to obtain good results with the old material.
