Taylor & Francis Ltd Neoliberalism Personhood and Postsocialism
Book SynopsisDespite a growing literature debating the consequences of neo-liberal political and economic policy in the former Eastern bloc, the idea of neo-liberal personhood has so far received limited attention from scholars of the region. Presenting a range of ethnographic studies, this book lays the groundwork for a new disciplinary agenda by critically examining novel technologies of self-government which have appeared in the wake of political and economic liberalization. Neoliberalism, Personhood, and Postsocialism explores the formation of subjectivities in newly marketized or marketizing societies across the former Eastern Bloc, documenting the rise of the neo-liberal discourse of the 'enterprising' self in government policy, corporate management and education, as well as examining the shifts in forms of capital amongst marginal capitalists and entrepreneurs working in the grey zone between the formal and informal economies. A rich investigation of the tools of neo-liberal governance andTrade Review’This timely volume builds on current debates regarding post-socialism and neoliberalism and, offering detailed ethnographic observation, makes a convincing case for the value of nuanced, empirically grounded approaches to neoliberalism and some of its key concepts. Eschewing the simplistic and the abstract, it shows what neoliberalism means for particular people, in particular places and times.’ Victoria Goddard, Goldsmiths, University of London, UKTable of ContentsChapter 1 Introduction Me, Inc.?

Taylor & Francis Ltd Global Culture Consciousness and Connectivity
Book SynopsisThe current discourse of globalization is overwhelmingly centred upon the interconnectedness, or connectivity, of the contemporary world; to the great neglect of the issues of global culture and global consciousness. With contemporary worldwide culture increasingly characterized by such themes as astronomy, cosmology, space travel and exploration, there is an increasing disjuncture between academic concern with connectivity, on the one hand, and culture and consciousness of the place of planet earth in the cosmos as a whole, on the other. This book addresses this deficiency from a variety of closely related perspectives, presenting studies of religion, science, sport, international organizations, global resistance movements and migrations and developments in East Asia. It brings together the latest theoretical empirical work from scholars in the US, UK, Australia, Japan, China and Israel on the significance of culture and global consciousness. As such, Global Culture: Consciousness andTrade Review’Robertson and Buhari-Gulmez have put together impressive analyses of the cultural dimensions of contemporary globalization, which has usually been seen in economic terms. The chapters creatively treat global homogenization as intertwined with local adaptation, often employing Robertson’s well-known concept glocalization. The book will be very useful for anyone concerned with worldwide cultural developments.’ John W.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Arts and Aesthetics in a Globalizing World
Book SynopsisThis is an investigation of arts and aesthetics in their widest senses and experiences, presenting a variety of perspectives which range from the metaphysical to the political. Moving beyond art as an expression of the inner mind and invention of the individual self, the volume bridges the gap between changing perceptions of contemporary art and aesthetics, and maps globalizing currents in a number of contexts and regions.The volume includes an impressive variety of case studies offered by established leaders in the field and original and emerging scholarly talent covering areas in India, Nepal, Indonesia, Iran, Russia, Rwanda, and Germany, as well as providing transnational or diasporic perspectives. From the contradictory demands made on successful artists from the south in the global art world such as Anish Kapoor, to images of war and puppetry created by female political prisoners, the volume compels creative and political interpretations of the ever-changing and globalizing terraiTrade Review[The book] undertakes an important and timely project ... [it] excels via its heterogeneous glimpses and its curated range of worldmaking activities: digital media, pirated media, the activation of smell within museum exhibits, the soundscapes of weddings, mimesis within political practices, performative practices of diasporic cultures, and alternative art spaces in Tehran. The diversity of its examples offers insight into the sensorial as a realm between individual and group identities. - AnthroposTable of ContentsIntroductionRaminder Kaur, University of Sussex, UK and Parul Dave-Mukherji, Jawaharlal Nehru University, IndiaOf Mockery and Mimicking: Gaganendranath Tagore’s Critique of Henri Bergson’s Laughter (1911)Emilia Terracciano, Courtaud Institute of Art and University College London, UKThe Return of the Aura: Anish Kapoor, the Studio and the World Denis Vidal, IRD/Paris Diderot/EHESS, FranceThe Practice of Art: An Alternative View of Contemporary Art-making in TehranLeili Sreberny-Mohammadi, New York University, USAArt Under Siege: Perils and Possibilities of Aesthetic Forms in a Globalising World Patricia Spyer, Leiden University, The NetherlandsHot Bricolage: Magical Mimesis in Modern IndiaChristopher Pinney, UCL, UKWaste and the Aesthetics of Justice Shiv Visvanatham, O.P.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Life of the Senses
Book SynopsisBoth a vital theoretical work and a fine illustration of the principles and practice of sensory ethnography, this much anticipated translation is destined to figure as a major catalyst in the expanding field of sensory studies.Drawing on his own fieldwork in Brazil and Japan and a wide range of philosophical, literary and cinematic sources, the author outlines his vision for a modal anthropology'. François Laplantine challenges the primacy accorded to sign' and structure' in conventional social science research, and redirects attention to the tonalities and rhythmic intensities of different ways of living. Arguing that meaning, sensation and sociality cannot be considered separately, he calls for a ''politics of the sensible'' and a complete reorientation of our habitual ways of understanding reality.The book also features an introduction to the sensory and social thought of François Laplantine by the editor of the Sensory Studies series, David Howes.Trade ReviewBy definition, most scholarly work takes the form of 'normal science' in the Kuhnian sense, answering the questions posed by the current state of a discipline and filling in perceived gaps in its knowledge … Once in a while, though, something really revolutionary appears, something that aims to overthrow the very foundations not only of a discipline but of an entire intellectual tradition. Laplantine's modestly titled The Life of the Senses is such a manifesto. - Anthropology Review Database - David EllerTable of ContentsThe Extended Sensorium: Introduction to the Sensory and Social Thought of François Laplantine, by David Howes, Concordia University, CanadaTranslator's PrefacePrologue Chapter 1: The Brazilian Art of the Ginga; Walking, Dancing, SingingChapter 2: The Choreographic ModelChapter 3: Pains and Pleasures of the Binary: The Dichotomy of Meaning and the SensibleChapter 4: The Semantic ObsessionChapter 5: The Sensible, the Social, Category and EnergyChapter 6: Two Precursors of an Anthropology of the Sensible: Roger Bastide and Georges BatailleChapter 7: Living Together, Feeling Together: Towards a Politics of the SensibleChapter 8: Sensible Thought: Thinking Through the Body-Subject in MovementEpilogue in the Form of Seven Propositions: Toward a Modal AnthropologySupplement: Sensing TokyoNotesBibliographyIndex

Taylor & Francis Ltd Smokefree
Book SynopsisAlthough tobacco is a legal substance, many governments around the world have introduced legislation to restrict smoking and access to tobacco products. Smokefree critically examines these changes, from the increasing numbers of places being designated as smokefree' to changes in cigarette packaging and the portrayal of smoking in popular culture. Unlike existing texts, this book neither advances a public health agenda nor condemns the erosion of individual rights. Instead, Simone Dennis takes a classical anthropological approach to present the first agenda-free, full-length study of smoking. Observing and analysing smoking practices and environments, she investigates how the social, moral, political and legal atmosphere of smokefree' came into being and examines the ideas about smoke, air, the senses, space, and time which underlie it. Looking at the impact on public space and individuals, she reveals broader findings about the relationship between the state, agents, and what is seen Trade Review"Smokefree is a clever exploration of concepts of materiality, embodiment and sensory experience, and boundary crossing, as well as a challenge to apply our methods thoroughly and neutrally even on behaviors of which we disapprove. - Anthropology Review Database - Jack David Eller Anthropologist Dennis challenges the pervasive anti-smoking agenda of most of anthropology and social science research. Even research that appears to look at smoking from the (recalcitrant) smoker’s point of view in reality is often doing so in service of more finely tailored anti-smoking messages. Dennis uncovers the complexity of smoking in, for example, how smokers experience the trail of smoke as it emanates from their lit cigarettes. Some people tell Dennis that they smoke because of smoking’s now demonized state. Dennis discovers that anti-smoking messages, such as pregnant women smokers giving birth to low weight babies, can be seen as an advantage to women who would like to give birth to small babies. People told Dennis how they mentally countered the graphic public health messages found throughout Australia. Many of Dennis’s findings come from casual conversations with smokers in Australia as they were smoking. Some of the time Dennis was herself smoking, which probably announced to the smoker that Dennis was without judgments. The book’s illustrations and ethnographic content from smokers is effective. Its many discussions of anthropological and philosophical theories make this book best suited to graduate students and scholars. Summing Up: Recommended.

Taylor & Francis Ltd On the Commodity Trail
Book SynopsisFollowing the journey of eight bargain store objects, Alison Hulme reveals the complex story behind society's simplest and cheapest commodities. Inspired by Walter Benjamin's Arcades Project, On the Commodity Trail explores the colourful and fascinating histories of everyday objects.Along the way, we observe raw materials on municipal rubbish dumps in China, newly re-made products in the world's largest wholesale market, and take a journey across the seas, to bargain stores in Europe and North America, arriving finally in the homes of consumers. Weaving together narratives from the people we meet at different parts of the commodity chain waste peddlers, wholesalers, store owners, and shoppers the book examines the places and people at the heart of these localized yet immense global networks.Unlike other investigations of commodity chains, this study does not chart a straightforward trajectory from production to consumption. Instead, it demonstrates that the low-end commodity chain isTrade Review"This thin volume traces the origins of cheap plastic goods in UK bargain shops backward to their origins in China. Hulme begins the trail with waste scavengers in Shanghai, then moves through the ‘commodity city’ of Yiwu where low-end goods are made, container ports and terminals, British retail outlets, and, finally, a small sample of shoppers … the author’s real engagement is with social theorists and philosophers, from Appadurai to Žižek, with a generally Marxist approach to consumer society focused on the concept of ‘consumptive thrift.’ The book's most interesting part explores the social meaning of the ‘bargain.’ … the book would be very useful for graduate collections on globalization or theories of consumption. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students/faculty/professionals. - CHOICE - R. R. Wilk, Indiana Hulme has created a thorough and intriguing ethnography ... [She] is to be commended for the respect, objectivity, and passion she brings to the various conversations across the journey. Furthermore, her writing style, one that includes historical ironies, and parallels between concepts and lived experience, have created a text accessible to a broad, curious readership. - LSE Review of Books - Susan Marie Martin The book … belongs to a coetaneous class of research pushing the boundaries of ethnographic venturing … The book is erudite on the market economies of China and resplendent with careful empiricism. Close encounters with research subjects are a principal highlight. The book is easeful to read and evinces a mixture of empathy for, and inquisitive inquiry about, the fieldwork’s cast of characters. - Consumption Markets and Culture - Thomas Birtchnell, University of Wollongong, Australia On the Commodity Trail is interesting, thoughtful, even important … The topic of discount stores and their relation to and impact on modern society, the book profitably shows, is one that anthropologists should investigate seriously. - Anthropology Review Database - Jack David Eller"Table of ContentsPrefaceIntroduction: Eight Bargain Store Commodities and their Journeys1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Digital Materialities
Book SynopsisAs the distinction between the digital and the material world becomes increasingly blurred, the ways in which we think about design are also shifting and evolving. How can the human, digital and material be brought together to intervene in the world? What constitutes our digital-material environments? How can we engage with digital technologies to make sustainable, healthy and meaningful decisions, both now and in the future? Digital Materialities presents twelve chapters by scholars and practitioners working at the intersection between design and digital research in the UK, Spain, Australia and the USA. By incorporating in-depth understandings of the digital-material world from both the social sciences and design, the book considers how this combined knowledge might advance our capacity to design for the future. Divided into three parts, the focus of the book moves from the theoretical to the practical: how different digital materialities are imagined and emerge, through software emulTrade ReviewThe essays in this volume make the case for the undeniable hybridity of human experience and suggest further avenues for researching the forms that material/digital interactions take and how individuals, families, communities, and societies (co-)design digital materialities, often in unanticipated ways that diverge from the expectations and intentions of professional designers. - Anthropology Review Database - Jack David EllerTable of ContentsList of figuresAcknowledgementsList of contributors1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Critical Craft
Book SynopsisFrom Oaxacan wood carvings to dessert kitchens in provincial France, Critical Craft presents thirteen ethnographies which examine what defines and makes craft' in a wide variety of practices from around the world. Challenging the conventional understanding of craft as a survival, a revival, or something that resists capitalism, the book turns instead to the designers, DIY enthusiasts, traditional artisans, and technical programmers who consider their labor to be craft, in order to comprehend how they make sense of it. The authors' ethnographic studies focus on the individuals and communities who claim a practice as their own, bypassing the question of craft survival to ask how and why activities termed craft are mobilized and reproduced. Moving beyond regional studies of heritage artisanship, the authors suggest that ideas of craft are by definition part of a larger cosmopolitan dialogue of power and identity. By paying careful attention to these sometimes conflicting voices, this collTrade Review"Critical Craft is an effective contribution to the anthropology of craft, of work, and of 'thing' or objects. It clearly demonstrates that there is more to crafts of all sorts than 'tradition,' expertise, and 'authenticity.' Anthropologists and others must be wary of assumptions about who does what kind of work or possesses what kind of knowledge, and we must be, like the authors of these quality essays, aware of the (unequal) agency of individuals and groups as they struggle within the field of any particular craft industry. - Anthropology Review Database - Jack David Eller [The book] has extended my understanding of craft as an integral part of contemporary global change ...

Book SynopsisMaking Homes: Anthropology and Design is a strong addition to the emerging field of design anthropology. Based on the latest scholarship and practice in the social sciences as well as design, this interdisciplinary text introduces a new design ethnography which offers unique and original approaches to research and intervention in the home.Presenting a coherent theoretical and methodological framework for both ethnographers and designers, the authors examine hot' topics ranging from movements and mobilities to im/material environments, to digital culture and confront the challenges of a research and design environment which seeks to bring about the changes required for a sustainable, resilient, safe', and comfortable future.Written by leading experts in the field, the book draws on real-life examples from a wide range of international projects developed by the authors, other researchers, and designers. Illustrations throughout help to convey the methods and research visually. Readers Trade Review"The home is a familiar space, a place we inhabit in one form or another. Making Homes presents ways not just for observation of that space, but for projection too. Pink et al. brilliantly succeed in both illustrating the manifold complexities of home—""making the familiar strange""—and in portraying the home as a space for future-making. Making Homes is relevant for a wide array of people, social scientists, architects and basically anyone who wants to know more about how we inhabit space. - Gareth Doherty, Harvard University Graduate School of Design, USA A landmark contribution to our understanding of home cultures and the emergent field of design ethnography. The authors rightly understand the home as a site of both habitual everyday life and change.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Anthropologies and Futures
Book SynopsisAnthropology has a critical, practical role to play in contemporary debates about futures. This game-changing new book presents new ways of conceptualising how to engage with a future-oriented research agenda, demonstrating how anthropologists can approach futures both theoretically and practically, and introducing a set of innovative research methods to tackle this field of research.Anthropology and Futures brings together a group of leading scholars from across the world, including Sarah Pink, Rayna Rapp, Faye Ginsburg and Paul Stoller. Firmly grounded in ethnographic fieldwork experience, the book's fifteen chapters traverse ethnographies with people living with HIV/AIDS in Uganda, disability activists in the U.S., young Muslim women in Copenhagen, refugees in Milan, future-makers in Barcelona, planning and land futures in the UK, the design of workspaces in Melbourne, rewilding in the French Pyrenees, and speculative ethnographies among emerging communities in Antarctica. Taking a Trade Review"This collection is the clearest articulation yet of a future-oriented practice for anthropology. It attempts nothing less than a re-centering of anthropology along future temporalities, opening up the field to new dimensions of public engagement by sketching the contours of a fieldwork-based practice centered on emergence, possibility and, ultimately, on the hope for better lives for people in the communities where we work. - Samuel Gerald Collins, Towson University, USA Anthropologies and Futures gathers a plethora of innovative perspectives and practices that brilliantly explore how the ethnographic can creatively and critically engage with the yet-to-come. This is an agenda-setting volume that by placing ‘futures’ at the heart of methodological engagement, re-configures the analytic, ethical and political landscapes of anthropology and beyond. - Mike Michael, University of Exeter, UK This book aims to put ethnography and anthropology at the heart of futures study right where they should be. Humans tend to be future-oriented in a social, but not uniform manner; the future is a site of struggle. This is a book which should make readers think and feel. Naturally, you will sometimes disagree with the positions taken, but if ever I met a book I'd like to be an author in, it would be this one. - Jonathan Paul Marshall, University of Technology Sydney, Australia"Table of ContentsList of FiguresAcknowledgments Notes on Contributors 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Material Culture of Failure
Book SynopsisWhat happens when objects behave unexpectedly or fail to do what they should'? Who defines failure? Is failure always bad? Rather than viewing concepts such as failure, incoherence or incompetence as antithetical to social life, this innovative new book examines the unexpected and surprising ways in which failure can lead to positive and creative results. Combining both theoretical and ethnographic approaches to failure, The Material Culture of Failure explores how failure manifests itself and operates in a variety of contexts. The editors present ten ethnographic encounters of failure from areas as diverse as design, textiles, religion, beauty, and physical failure covering Europe, North America, Asia, Africa, and the Arabian Gulf. Identifying common themes such as interpersonal, national and religious articulations of power and identity, the book shows some of the underlying assumptions that are revealed when materials fail, designs crumble, or things develop unexpectedly.The firstTrade Review"At last, we have here a thoughtful and provocative series of essays, along with an excellent theoretical introduction, on how failures illuminate the contexts that produce and define them. Noting that failure is everywhere, both in traditional and contemporary societies, the authors reveal how failures in technology, ritual, politics and design are always productive, though usually not in the ways that we anticipate. - Arjun Appadurai, New York University, USA Material failure is disappointing, sometimes grotesque, always inevitable. But as the contributors to this diverse and engaging anthology suggest, material failure can open creative space for subjects on the ground and productive ruminations for the anthropologists who witness them, claiming fresh ground for the study of material culture. - Laurel Kendall, American Museum of Natural History, USA This inspiring book is essential reading for all researchers and students interested in material culture. What happens when we take failure seriously? What happens when things go wrong? From these simple questions the contributors to this volume open up an entrancing new world for us all to explore. - Oliver Harris, University of Leicester, UK"Table of ContentsList of IllustrationsNotes on ContributorsAcknowledgmentsForeword: Failure and Fragility: Towards a Material Culture of the End of the World as We Knew ItDimitris Dalakoglu, Vrije University Amsterdam, Netherlands1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Anthropological Practice: Fieldwork and the
Book SynopsisAnthropologists are increasingly pressurised to formulate field methods for teaching. Unlike many hypothesis-driven ethnographic texts, this book is designed with the specific needs of the anthropology student and field researcher in mind, with particular emphasis on the core anthropological method: long term participant observation. Anthropological Practice explores fieldwork experiences unique to anthropology, and provides the context by which to explain and develop practice-based and open-ended methodology. It draws on dialogues with over twenty established and younger anthropologists, whose fieldwork spans the late 1960s to the present day, taking place in locations as diverse as Europe, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Africa, Iran, Afghanistan, North and South America.Revealing first-hand and hitherto unrecorded aspects of fieldwork, Anthropological Practice provides critical, systematic ways to enhance anthropological and alternative knowledge. It is an essential text for anthropology students and researchers, and for all disciplines concerned with ethnography.Interviewees include: Paul Clough, Roy Gigengack, Louise de la Gorgendière, Suzette Heald, Michael Herzfeld, Signe Howell, Felicia Hughes-Freeland, Ignacy Marek Kaminski, Margaret Kenna, Raquel Alonso Lopez, Malcolm Mcleod, Brian Morris, Hélène Neveu Kringelbach, Akira Okazaki, Joanna Overing, Jonathan Parry, Carol Silverman, Mohammad Talib, Nancy Lindisfarne-Tapper, Sue Wright, Helena Wulff, Joseba Zulaika.Trade Review"What makes this work distinctive from other publications about ethnographic methods is that the author provides detailed accounts from interviews she conducted with anthropologists whom she asked to reflect on their fieldwork experiences … Those with fieldwork experience including graduate students, newly graduated Ph.Ds., and seasoned anthropologists will enjoy Judith Okely’s and her colleagues’ perspectives about fieldwork. For those who want to reflect on ethnographic methods and its purposes, I highly recommend it. - American Ethnologist - Judith Singleton The author has done admirable research on anthropological fieldwork methods and the contribution of different scholars . . . The book is a rich anthropological work and it is worth praising for citing so many anthropological works with such an immense exposure to the great many scholars of anthropology . . . For someone aware of the richness and beauty of anthropology and looking for critiques to the works of anthropology, this is the right book. - Anthropological Notebooks - Rimai Joy, Amity University, India [Anthropological Practice] is certainly a successful and rewarding tour. Okely writes with passion, humour and clarity ... [She] rigorously and consistently demonstrates her arguments and insights throughout. - Qualitative Research Unique in its scope, Okely's text offers a rich breadth of experience and a very nuanced understanding of what actually occurs in practice. Students and even seasoned researchers will gain a much needed glimpse into the realities faced by fieldworkers. - Susan E. Frohlick, Associate Professor of Anthropology, University of Manitoba [Anthropological Practice] thoroughly elaborates on conceptual categories and commonly accepted assumptions regarding this subject.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Questions of Anthropology
Anthropology today seems to shy away from the big, comparative questions that ordinary people in many societies find compelling. Questions of Anthropology brings these issues back to the centre of anthropological concerns.Individual essays explore birth, death and sexuality, puzzles about the relationship between science and religion, questions about the nature of ritual, work, political leadership and genocide, and our personal fears and desires, from the quest to control the future and to find one's 'true' identity to the fear of being alone. Each essay starts with a question posed by individual ethnographic experience and then goes on to frame this question in a broader, comparative context. Written in an engaging and accessible style, Questions of Anthropology presents an exciting introduction to the purpose and value of Anthropology today.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Handbook of Sociocultural Anthropology
Book Synopsishe Handbook of Sociocultural Anthropology presents a state of the art overview of the subject - its methodologies, current debates, history and future. It will provide the ultimate source of authoritative, critical descriptions of all the key aspects of the discipline as well as a consideration of the general state of the discipline at a time when there is notable uncertainty about its foundations, composition and direction. Divided into five core sections, the Handbook: examines the changing theoretical and analytical orientations that have led to new ways of carrying out research; presents an analysis of the traditional historical core and how the discipline has changed since 1980; considers the ethnographic regions where work has had the greatest impact on anthropology as a whole; outlines the people and institutions that are the context in which the discipline operates, covering topics from research funding to professional ethics.Bringing together leading international scholars, the Handbook provides a guide to the latest research in social and cultural anthropology. Presenting a systematic overview - and offering a wide range of examples, insights and analysis - it will be an invaluable resource for researchers and students in anthropology as well as cultural and social geography, cultural studies and sociology.Trade ReviewThis book warrants praise from the outset as the gargantuan task it represents does exactly what it sets out to do making it both a pleasure to peruse but also a vitally important and erudite addition to an anthropologist’s library...

Taylor & Francis Ltd Virtualism: A New Political Economy
Book SynopsisWe live in a time of economic virtualism, whereby our lives are made to conform to the virtual reality of economic thought. Globalization, transnational capitalism, structural adjustment programmes and the decay of welfare are all signs of the growing power of economics, one of the most potent forces of recent decades. In the last thirty years, economics has ceased to be just an academic discipline concerned with the study of economy, and has come to be the only legitimate way to think about all aspects of society and how we order our lives. Economic models are no longer measured against the world they seek to describe, but instead the world is measured against them, found wanting and made to conform.This profound and dangerous change in the power of abstract economics to shape the lives of people in rich and poor countries alike is the subject of this interdisciplinary study. Contributors show how economics has come to portray a virtual reality - a world that seems real but is merely a reflection of a neo-classical model - and how governments, the World Bank and the IMF combine to stamp the world with a virtual image that condemns as irrational our local social and cultural arrangements. Further, it is argued that virtualism represents the worrying emergence of new forms of abstraction in the political economy, of which economics is just one example.Trade Review'Readers will find his survey of retail trade interesting and valuable.'American Journal of Sociology'This volume ... is a worthy turn-of-the-century successor to Karl Polanyi's 'The great transformation' (1957) ...

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Anthropology of Friendship
Book SynopsisFriendship is usually seen as a vital part of most people's lives in the West. From our friends, we hope to derive emotional support, advice and material help in times of need. In this pioneering book, basic assumptions about friendship are examined from a cross-cultural point of view. Is friendship only a western conception or is it possible to identify friends in such places as Papua New Guinea, Kenya, China, and Brazil? In seeking to answer this question, contributors also explore what friendship means closer to home, from the bar to the office, and address the following:* Are friendships voluntary?* Should friends be distinguished sharply from relatives?* Do work and friendship mix?* Does friendship support or subvert the social order?* How is friendship shaped by the nature of the person, gender, and the relationship between private and public life?* How is friendship affected when morality is compromised by self-interest?This book represents one of the few major attempts to deal with friendship from a comparative perspective. In achieving this aim, it demonstrates the culture-bound nature of many assumptions concerning one of the most basic building-blocks of western social relationships. More importantly, it signposts the future of social relations in many parts of the world, where older social bonds based on kinship or proximity are being challenged by flexible ties forged when people move within local, national and increasingly global networks of social relations.Trade Review'The volume is a good starting point for a more systematic, comparative approach to friendship both as ideology and as practice, studied in the context of other forms of sociality and identification.'Anthropological Theory

Taylor & Francis Ltd Social Impact Analysis: An Applied Anthropology
Book SynopsisThis book addresses the nature, purpose and processes associated with social impact analysis. Because resource development projects occur in human as well as ecological environments, stakeholders - landowners, companies and governments - are compelled to ensure that the benefits of any project are maximized while the negative risks are minimized. Achieving such objectives means implementing programs which monitor and evaluate the ongoing effects of a project on the social and cultural lives of the impacted populace. This book aims to provide a teaching and training resource for students, social scientists (anthropologists, sociologists, human geographers, environmentalists, engineers, etc.) and indigenous personnel and operators who are tasked with community affairs programs in those countries where resource development projects are implemented. The constituent chapters provide how-to guides and frameworks that are generously illustrated with case studies drawn variously from North America and the Asia-Pacific region. Topics addressed include Legal Frameworks and Compliance Procedures, Social Mapping, Environmental Reports, Social and Economic Impact Studies, Social Monitoring Techniques, Project Development, Statistical Packages and Report Production.This book is unique in so far as it seeks to prioritize application over theory. Moreover, it is the first training resource that is sensitive to non-western indigenes' need to assimilate and apply skills engendered by Western countries.Trade Review'...Goldman's book is both timely and helpful. The book 'does what it says on the tin': it sets out to provide an introductory volume on Social Impact Analysis, tackling the subject systematically..'Veronica Strang, University of Lampeter

Taylor & Francis Ltd Car Cultures
Book SynopsisAnyone who assumes that a car is simply a means to get from point A to point B, or who even thinks that they know what a car is, should read this book. Profoundly shaped by culture, the car gives rise to a wide range of emotions, from guilt about the environment in the UK to aboriginal concerns with car corpses, to struggles to keep the creatures alive with everything but the proper spare parts in West Africa. Cars and their landscapes prove central to human life from its most intimate to the widest sense of global crisis, and are capable of inspiring epic passions. From road rage in Western Europe to the struggles of cab driving in Africa to the emergence of Black identity in the US, this book examines the essential humanity of the car, which includes the jealousies, gender differences, fears and moralities that cars give rise to. Firmly grounded in detailed ethnographic and historical scholarship, this is the first book to provide an informed sense of cars as one of the most familiar and significant forms of material culture.Trade Review'This book will be a welcome addition to the growing number of courses that look at the impact the automobile has had and is having in the world. Highly recommended for all collections.' Choice 'At last! A book which not only takes a wide-ranging and nuanced approach to the contradictory relations between humans and cars, but also places that research within a cosmopolitan empirical and theoretical framework.' The Asia Pacific Journal of Anthropology 'Car cultures does offer a rather different take on car use and abuse than found in the usual anti-car environmentalist genre.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Guitar Cultures
Book SynopsisThe guitar is one of the most evocative instruments in the world. It features in music as diverse as heavy metal, blues, indie and flamenco, as well as Indian classical music, village music making in Papua New Guinea and carnival in Brazil. This cross-cultural popularity makes it a unique starting point for understanding social interaction and cultural identity. Guitar music can be sexy, soothing, melancholy or manic, but it nearly always brings people together and creates a common ground even if this common ground is often the site of intense social, cultural, economic and political negotiation and contest.This book explores how people use guitars and guitar music in various nations across the world as a musical and symbolic basis for creating identities. In a world where place and space are challenged by the pace of globalization, the guitar provides images, sounds and styles that help define new cultural territories. Guitars play a crucial part in shaping the commercial music industry, educational music programmes, and local community atmosphere. Live or recorded, guitar music and performance, collecting and manufacture sustains a network of varied social exchanges that constitute a distinct cultural milieu.Representing the first sustained analysis of what the guitar means to artists and audiences world-wide, this book demonstrates that this seemingly simple material artefact resonates with meaning as well as music.Trade Review'Guitar Cultures succeeds admirably in delivering a broad global perspective on the instrument and its place in different cultures. ... Any guitar enthusiast should welcome this book, and discover a wealth of factual information and well grounded argument.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Markets and Moralities: Ethnographies of
Book SynopsisBefore the collapse of the Eastern Bloc, private marketeering was regarded not only as criminal, but even immoral by socialist regimes. Ten years after taking on board western market-orientated shock therapy, post-socialist societies are still struggling to come to terms with the clash between these deeply engrained moralities and the daily pressures to sell and consume. This book explores the new market and its resulting contradictions in a rapidly developing Eastern Europe and Russia. Will Western fast-food industries irrevocably alter local culinary practices? What effect has the privatization of land had upon ownership and exchange? What role do new commodities play within the household? Based on original, first-hand ethnography, this book is a long-awaited addition to existing literature on post-socialist societies. It will be essential reading for students of anthropology, sociology, European and cultural studies, as well as professional groups working in Eastern Europe and Russia, including NGOs, development organizations and businesses.Trade Review'This book provides an important contribution to post-socialist studies by locating 'the market' firmly in the socially constituted practices of post-socialist societies ...

Taylor & Francis Ltd Uprootings/Regroundings: Questions of Home and
Book SynopsisNew forms of transnational mobility and diasporic belonging have become emblematic of a supposed ‘global' condition of uprootedness. Yet much recent theorizing of our so-called ‘postmodern' life emphasizes movement and fluidity without interrogating who and what is ‘on the move'. This original and timely book examines the interdependence of mobility and belonging by considering how homes are formed in relationship to movement. It suggests that movement does not only happen when one leaves home, and that homes are not always fixed in a single location. Home and belonging may involve attachment and movement, fixation and loss, and the transgression and enforcement of boundaries. What is the relationship between leaving home and the imagining of home itself? And having left home, what might it mean to return? How can we re-think what it means to be grounded, or to stay put? Who moves and who stays? What interaction is there between those who stay and those who arrive and leave? Focusing on differences of race, gender, class and sexuality, the contributors reveal how the movements of bodies and communities are intrinsic to the making of homes, nations, identities and boundaries. They reflect on the different experiences of being at home, leaving home, and going home. They also explore ways in which attachment to place and locality can be secured - as well as challenged - through the movements that make up our dwelling places.Uprootings/Regroundings: Questions of Home and Migration is a groundbreaking exploration of the parallel and entwined meanings of home and migration. Contributors draw on feminist and postcolonial theory to explore topics including Irish, Palestinian, and indigenous attachments to ‘soils of significance'; the making of and trafficking across European borders; the female body as a symbol of home or nation; and the shifting grounds of ‘queer' migrations and ‘creole' identities.This innovative analysis will open up avenues of research anTrade Review'An excellent collection of essays that are truly linked by a common theme of reconceptualizing notions of home and migration, and understanding these realities in relation to each other.'Sarah Michelle Stohlman, University of Southern Carolina, in Focaal (45), 2005'[the book] deserves a speical place on the shelf of any migration scholar.'Sarah Michelle Stohlman, University of Southern Carolina, in Focaal (45), 2005Table of ContentsPlatesNotes on contributorsSECTION 1: BODIES AT HOME AND AWAY1.still call Australia home: Indigenous belonging and place in a postcolonising societyAileen Moreton-Robinson 2.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Making Doctors: An Institutional Apprenticeship
Book SynopsisFew outsiders realize that student illness is frequently, and ironically, a by-product of medical training. This unique study by a medical doctor and trained anthropologist debunks popular myths of expertise and authority which surround the medical establishment and asks provoking questions about the acquisition and dissemination of knowledge within the field. In detailing all levels of basic training in a London medical school, the author describes students' 'official' activities (that is, what they need to do to qualify) as well as their 'unofficial' ones (such as their social life in the bar). This insider's exposé should prompt a serious reconsideration of abuses in a profession which has a critical influence over untold lives. In particular, it suggests that the structures and discourses of power need to be re-examined in order to provide satisfactory answers to sensitive questions relating to gender and race, the dialogue between doctor and patient and the mental stability of students under severe stress.Trade Review'Read this book.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Italy's 'Southern Question': Orientalism in One
Book SynopsisThe ‘Southern Question' has been a major topic in Italian political, economic and cultural life for a century and more. During the Cold War, it was the justification for heavy government intervention. In contemporary Italy, a major part of the appeal of the Lombard League has been its promise to dissociate the South from the North, even to the point of secession. The South also remains a resonant theme in Italian literature. This interdisciplinary book endeavours to answer the following: - When did people begin to think of the South as a problem? - Who - intellectuals, statisticians, criminologists, political exiles, novelists (among them some important southerners) - contributed to the discourse about the South and why? - Did their view of the South correspond to any sort of reality? - What was glossed over or ignored in the generalized vision of the South as problematic? - What consequences has the ‘Question' had in controlling the imaginations and actions of intellectuals and those with political and other forms of power? - What alternative formulations might people create and live by if they were able to escape from the control of the ‘Question' and to imagine the political, economic and cultural differences within Italy in some other way? This timely book reveals how Southern Italians have been affected by distorted versions of a complex reality similar to the discourse of ‘Orientalism'. In situating the devaluation of Southern Italian culture in relation to the recent emergence of ‘anti-mafia' ideology in the South and the threat posed to national unity by the Lombard League, it also illuminates the world's stiff inter-regional competition for investment capital.Trade Review'A welcome contribution to the debate.'

Amsterdam University Press The Emotional Life of Contemporary Public Memorials: Towards a Theory of Temporary Memorials
Book SynopsisFrom the commemoration of September 11 to the Holocaust memorial in Berlin, recent decades have witnessed a substantial increase in the number of new public memorials built in both Europe and the United States. This volume considers the contemporary explosion of public commemoration in terms of changed cultural and social practices of mourning, memory, and public feeling. Positing memorials as the physical and visual embodiment of our affective responses to loss, Erika Doss focuses especially on the memorial ephemera of flowers, candles, balloons, and cards placed at sites of tragic death in order to better comprehend how grief is mediated in contemporary commemorative cultures.

Cambridge University Press Biological Perspectives on Human Pigmentation
Book SynopsisThis book presents an overview of how and why human populations vary so markedly in their skin colour. The biological aspects of the pigment cell and its production of melanin are reviewed and the functions of melanin are considered. The social and biological interface of skin colour in society is also discussed.Trade Review"Melanin has probably caused more social injustice than any other molecule in the body, yet few sociologists understand the biology of skin colour and few physicians are conversant with the anthropological, evolutionary, and psychosocial aspects of racial pigmentation. All these topics are crisply and elegantly reviewed in this monograph from a Cape Town pharmacologist. Robins has worked hard to select the essential facts from many disciplines, and the result is a concise yet thorough overview of this important subject." John L. Burton, Lancet"...a crisply written, expert and intelligible survey of the medical and anthropological work on human pigmentation, and both physicians and anthropologists will find uses for it." Times Literary Supplement"...concisely surveys the nature of skin color in humans....not so esoteric that it could not be used by anyone interested in the subjects of human pigmentation, skin color, and race." Choice"...this book is a success. Robins includes a good set of references, and the book is well written. For the topics that he decided to cover, he has done a good job. The book contains a great deal of information and is handy for references." Aaron B. Lerner, New England Journal of Medicine"...a complete and conscientious survey of all that is known about pigmentation in the human species....will be most useful to anyone who wishes to add to that literature, and there is much that could be added, particularly in genetics."
