Download or read book Social Facts and Fabrications written by Sally Falk Moore and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1986-06-27 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Sally Falk Moore examines a hundred years in the history of an African people, the Chagga of Kilimanjaro, in order to understand how their present system of 'customary' laws came to be the way it is, and how the idea of custom was used in Tanzania's experiment with African socialism. She discusses the changes that have occurred in the formal legal system, alongside the vast economic and political transformations that came with cash cropping and colonial rule. She also presents a 'legal' chronicle of the members of one lineage to illustrate its use of the formal legal system. This study of the difference between law in the life of a people and law in the local courts will interest teachers and students of legal anthropology and law and also provides an important contribution to anthropological theory. In addition it has practical relevance for the understanding of the operation of 'traditional' institutions and will appeal to readers interested in African history and African studies.

Book excerpt: Sally Moore paints worlds where fiction is truer than fact, where outer absurdity stands in for inner reality. Like an actor, she uses her observations of people and situations to explore ideas with herself as the performer. Through surreal metaphors--tigers in the sitting room, monkeys on her dining table, small boats taking her to sea--she battles moods, fears and social expectations. She continues a figurative tradition that extends from Caravaggio to Balthus, though her active, clothed women rebut traditional depictions. Sally Moore's childhood in South Wales was creative, her mother a dancer and her father a painter, the house filled with artist friends, though it was shattered by her father's death when she was just thirteen. After Oxford University and Birmingham College of Art she developed her painting with awards from the Delfina Studios and the British School in Rome, becoming one of the distinctive figure painters of her generation. This book is an opportunity to see her work across four decades. As the novelist William Boyd has pointed out, to view her paintings together is to reveal a lifelong project to explore mood, memory and states of mind.
Download or read book Comparing Impossibilities written by Sally Falk Moore and published by Hau. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an unusual life course, Sally Falk Moore went from lawyering in an elite New York law firm to the Nuremberg trials, and from there to an academic career in anthropology at Harvard, first doing archival work related to Inca Peru, then intermittent fieldwork in Africa that stretched over many years. She worked on political questions on Kilimanjaro while the area was subject to a period of mandatory Tanzanian socialism. This book offers a selection of her varied work--the history of her thought as she reflects on fragments of her autobiography, and on the theoretical ideas that emerged as she interpreted anthropological materials. Here are essays spanning a lifetime of reflection and engagement with the human condition, ranging from myths of incest and sexuality to the study of planned development projects that produced unplanned developments. This collection is nothing less than a banquet of serious anthropological tastings from one of anthropology's master chefs--a lifetime comparison of both possibilities and impossibilities for anthropology.

Download or read book Culture and Civilization written by Irving Horowitz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intellectual activity in the twentieth century took place largely under the banner of science and society. As the new millennium develops, it is becoming evident that science and society are not words that represent an unmitigated good, nor for that matter, do they exhaust what is new in the human condition. Past writing on the theme of culture has emphasized the growth and expansion of human capabilities. Recent use of the term "civilization" has placed great emphasis on the fall from grace of human beings. The use of both terms is rapidly changing. Culture and Civilization develops critical ideas intended to produce a positive intellectual climate, one that is prepared to confront threats, and alert us to the opportunities of the twenty-first century. It recognizes that the twenty-first century presents people in all fields and of all faiths with shared challenges. Culture and Civilization embraces the work of novelists, journalists, cultural figures, technologists, physical sciences, historians, and policy personnel who range beyond social science areas. What they have in common is a view that civilization is under assault and that it represents a cause worth advancing and defending. This publication does not embrace idiosyncratic visions of the clash of world civilizations or the end of Western civilization. It does attempt to bring together immediate issues of the century that are substantially new and challenging. We see that the essential polarity between democracy and autocracy has now taken on larger, deeper dimensions in a different political, economic, and ecological terrain: the central issue of our day is now civilization versus barbarism. The character of democratic culture is central to the global equation and the systemic challenge. This publication is a sober response to such a challenge.
