Download or read book Companions The Strange and the Familiar written by Joan Ringelheim and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2021-01-28 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Joan Ringelheim began to write, she had no intention of becoming personal. Since she is a philosopher by training, she kept thinking solely of intellectual essays. Then she read Mary Karr's The Art of Memoir and realized that the ideas about which she wanted to write were not separate from the experiences in her life and that she had to be transparent about what they meant. She could no longer keep the personal and intellectual separated as she had meant to do. The six essays in this book cover the parts of her life that were crucial in her struggle to meet the strange and the familiar: music and the piano, teaching, the Holocaust and women in the Holocaust, oral history, a trip to Sarajevo after the siege, and breast cancer.

Part One emphasizes human beings as members of a species, how that species differs from others, how it has evolved, and how human populations have adapted to and in turn transformed their environments. Part Two deals with the origin and structure of human culture, and on the role of culture in action, perception, and cognition. Part Three examines the various aspects of the relationshipsand processes that are carried on by persons and groups in the course of social life. Useful features such as cross-references within the text, full biographical references, suggestions for further reading and carefully illustrated line drawings make this an indispensable resource for all students of anthropology or sociology.
