Taylor & Francis Ltd Rural
Book SynopsisThe division of rural' and urban' is one of the oldest ideas in Geography and is deeply engrained in our culture. Throughout history, the rural has been attributed with many meanings: as a source of food and energy; as a pristine wilderness, or as a bucolic idyll; as a playground, or a place of escape; as a fragile space of nature, in need of protection; and as a primitive place, in need of modernization. But is the idea of the rural still relevant today?Rural provides an advanced introduction to the study of rural places and processes in Geography and related disciplines. Drawing extensively on the latest research in rural geography, this book explores the diverse meanings that have been attached to the rural, examines how ideas of the rural have been produced and reproduced, and investigates the influence of different ideas in shaping the social and economic structure of rural localities and the everyday lives of people who live, work or play in rural areas.Trade Review"[Woods'] chapters define the imagined, economic, political, and social characteristics of rural societies, using examples from every continent....this book has a very thorough bibliography of the current literature on rural geography."—W.

Taylor & Francis Decoding Subaltern Politics
Book SynopsisJames C. Scott has researched and written on subaltern groups, and, in particular, peasants, rebellion, resistance, and agriculture, for over 35 years. Yet much of Scott's most interesting work on the peasantry and the state, both conceptually and empirically, has never been published in book form. For the first time Decoding Subaltern Politics: Ideology, Disguise, and Resistance in Agrarian Politics, brings together some of his most important work in one volume. The book covers three distinct yet interlinked bodies of work. The first lays out a framework for understanding peasant politics and rebellion, much of which is applicable to rural areas of the contemporary global south. Scott then goes on to develop his arguments regarding everyday forms of peasant resistance using the comparative example of the religious tithe in France and Malaysia, and tracing the forms of resistance that cover their own tracks and avoid direct clashes with authorities.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Performance of Gender An Anthropology Of
Book SynopsisThe Performance of Gender presents a vivid description of everyday life in order to explore the concept of performance for an anthropology of gender. A detailed and evocotive account of the lives of men and women in a South Indian fishing community reveals new ways of framing gender relations, the body and kinship. The ethnographic account is set within the context of social and cultural theory, notably the ideas of Judith Butler, Pierre Bourdieu and Michel Foucault. The study sheds new light on the ways in which gender is understood as both performative, that is enacted through everyday practices, and also substantial and embodied, that is marked out in the separate sexual fluids and procreative capacities of husbands and wives.Table of ContentsCONTENTS List of Figures vii Acknowledgements ix Preface xiii Introduction 1 Part I: The Marking of Difference 1 Men and boys: the lives of the fishermen 27 2 Women, money and markets 53 3 Gender, body and the tracing of relatedness 72 Part II: The Merging of Difference 4 Becoming husband and wife 91 5 Loans and goods: flows and exchanges between households 113 6 Eating from one plate: gender, exchange and spouses 149 Part III: Disputes and Negotiations 7 Gender and money: the saving and spending of household wealth 177 8 Conflict and Violence 195 9 Conclusions 215 Notes 232 Bibliography 245 Index 253
