Download or read book Brujer a hechicer a rumores y habladur as written by Pamela J. Stewart and published by Ediciones AKAL. This book was released on 2008-09 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este original estudio combina dos temas clásicos de la antropología social en una nueva síntesis: el estudio de la brujería y la hechicería, y el estudio de los rumores y las habladurías. Para ello, los autores plantean dos enfoques: en primer lugar, analizan la importancia fundamental de los rumores y las habladurías como catalizadores que dan pie a acusaciones de brujería y hechicería. Seguidamente, muestran el papel de los rumores y las habladurías en la génesis de la violencia social y política, tanto en las rebeliones campesinas como en las cazas de brujas. En este sentido, los ejemplos que apoyan la argumentación de los autores proceden de África, Europa, la India, Indonesia, Papúa Nueva Guinea y Sri Lanka. También se incluyen análisis de numerosos juicios de brujería en Inglaterra y Escocia en el siglo XVII, relatos de cazas de brujas y de vampiros en el África colonial y contemporánea, y rumores sobre sacrificios de construcción en Indonesia. Ameno, preciso y sintético, estamos, sin duda, ante una de las mejores contribuciones al estudio de la brujería de las últimas décadas.

Download or read book Breaking the Frames written by Pamela J. Stewart and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-23 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that the breaking and re-making of frames of analysis underlie the history of theorizing in anthropology. Pamela J. Stewart and Andrew J. Strathern note that this mode of analysis risks fabricating over-essentialized dichotomies between viewpoints. The authors advocate a mindful, nuanced, people-centered approach to all theorizing-one that avoids total system approaches (-isms) and suggest that theory should relate cogently to ethnography. Mindful anthropology, as this book envisages it, is not a specific theory but a philosophical aspiration for the discipline as a whole.

Book excerpt: How are ethnographic knowledge and anthropological theory created out of field experiences?

Download or read book Ozu written by Donald Richie and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1977-03-15 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Substantially the book that devotees of the director have been waiting for: a full-length critical work about Ozu's life, career and working methods, buttressed with reproductions of pages from his notebooks and shooting scripts, numerous quotes from co-workers and Japanese critics, a great many stills and an unusually detailed filmography."—Sight and Sound Yasujiro Ozu, the man whom his kinsmen consider the most Japanese for all film directors, had but one major subject, the Japanese family, and but one major theme, its dissolution. The Japanese family in dissolution figures in every one of his fifty-three films. In his later pictures, the whole world exists in one family, the characters are family members rather than members of a society, and the ends of the earth seem no more distant than the outside of the house.
