Download or read book The Ground Between written by Veena Das and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2014-04-21 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The guiding inspiration of this book is the attraction and distance that mark the relation between anthropology and philosophy. This theme is explored through encounters between individual anthropologists and particular regions of philosophy. Several of the most basic concepts of the discipline—including notions of ethics, politics, temporality, self and other, and the nature of human life—are products of a dialogue, both implicit and explicit, between anthropology and philosophy. These philosophical undercurrents in anthropology also speak to the question of what it is to experience our being in a world marked by radical difference and otherness. In The Ground Between, twelve leading anthropologists offer intimate reflections on the influence of particular philosophers on their way of seeing the world, and on what ethnography has taught them about philosophy. Ethnographies of the mundane and the everyday raise fundamental issues that the contributors grapple with in both their lives and their thinking. With directness and honesty, they relate particular philosophers to matters such as how to respond to the suffering of the other, how concepts arise in the give and take of everyday life, and how to be attuned to the world through the senses. Their essays challenge the idea that philosophy is solely the province of professional philosophers, and suggest that certain modalities of being in the world might be construed as ways of doing philosophy.

Download or read book Minima Ethnographica written by Michael Jackson and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1998-08 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The postmodern opposition between theory and lived reality has led in part to an anthropological turn to "dialogic" or "reflexive" approaches. Michael Jackson claims these approaches are hardly radical as they still drift into such abstractions as "society" or "culture." His Minima Ethnographica proposes an existential anthropology that recognizes even abstract relationships as modalities of interpersonal life. Written in the style of Theodor Adorno's Minima Moralia, Jackson's work shows how general ideas are always anchored in particular social events and critical concerns. Emphasizing the intersubjective encounter over objective descriptions of the whole historical and contemporary situation of a given people, he illustrates the power and originality of existential anthropology through a series of vignettes from his fieldwork in Sierra Leone and Australia. An award-winning poet, novelist, and anthropologist, Jackson offers a timely critique of conventions that dull our sense of the links between academic study and lived experience.
Download or read book Existential Anthropology written by Michael Jackson and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2005 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by existential thought, but using ethnographic methods, Jackson explores a variety of compelling topics, including 9/11, episodes from the war in Sierra Leone and its aftermath, the marginalization of indigenous Australians, the application of new technologies, mundane forms of ritualization, the magical use of language, the sociality of violence, the prose of suffering, and the discourse of human rights. Throughout this compelling work, Jackson demonstrates that existentialism, far from being a philosophy of individual being, enables us to explore issues of social existence and coexistence in new ways, and to theorise events as the sites of a dynamic interplay between the finite possibilities of the situations in which human beings find themselves and the capacities they yet possess for creating viable forms of social life.

Book excerpt: When Earth discovered a way to travel among the stars they were approached by the Mxtel and a trade and protective society, now known as the Confederated Sentient Peoples or CSP. To expeditiously travel between stars space ships need three engines, at the opening of our story the Lord lost two of them, and both engineers as well. Mootoa is the only place they can get new engines and engineers. Earth does not know a lot about Mootoa. Mootoa doesn't think men are intelligent enough to do anything they can't imagine a male ship's captain. The story is how the Lorili got some new engines and a new engineer, how she fits in with the crew of Earthers, and what the captain and crew think of her.
