Steiner’s concerns including inter-disciplinarity, genre, refugees and exile, colonialism and violence, and the sources of European anthropology speak to contemporary concerns more directly now than at any time since his early death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“This book is an excellent intellectual biography of F.B. Steiner, embracing and bringing together the three distinct facets of his writings: academic, poetic, and aphoristic. Such a study was long overdue… This book will soon become essential reading for anyone interested in the history of European Anthropology… The book is clearly written, shows an impressive erudition, and manages to portray the author and his ideas in a sympathetic and engaging manner.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• João Pina-Cabral\u003c\/strong\u003e, University of Kent\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tList of Figures\u003cbr\u003e \tAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e A Brief Life\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePart I: An Oriental in the West: A Brief Life\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/strong\u003e Beginnings: The Prague German-Jewish Community\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/strong\u003e Student Days in Prague and Jerusalem\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/strong\u003e First Ethnological Studies in Vienna and London, and Fieldwork in Sub-Carpathian Ruthenia\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Impact of the Early English Years\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Exile\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Oxford Anthropologist\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePart II: Orientpolitik, Value and Civilization: The Social Thought\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 7.\u003c\/strong\u003e Beyond ‘Culture Circles’: The Field Trip Revisited\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 8.\u003c\/strong\u003e Zionism, Political and Cultural Critique\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 9.\u003c\/strong\u003e On Slavery\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 10.\u003c\/strong\u003e Radcliffe-Brown and Evans-Pritchard\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 11.\u003c\/strong\u003e Labour and Value\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 12.\u003c\/strong\u003e Civilization and Taboo\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 13.\u003c\/strong\u003e Simmel and Aristotle\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePart III: The Poet Anthropologist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 14.\u003c\/strong\u003e Conquests\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 15.\u003c\/strong\u003e Kafka in England\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 16.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Chief Sociological Principle\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 17.\u003c\/strong\u003e Suffering and Value\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 18.\u003c\/strong\u003e In Search of the Universal \u003cem\u003eMathesis\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tReferences\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eManuscript Sources\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tF.B.S.’s Unpublished Writings in the Schiller Nationalmuseum, Deutsches Literaturarchiv, Marbach am Neckar\u003cbr\u003e \tUnpublished Letters to and about F.B.S. and Memoirs Concerning him at the Schiller Nationalmuseum, Deutsches Literaturarchiv, Marbach am Neckar\u003cbr\u003e \tF.B.S.’s Unpublished Writings and Other Sources in the Institute for Social and Cultural Anthropology, University of Oxford\u003cbr\u003e \tLetters and Other Written Communications to the Editors\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003ePublished Sources\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tA Selection of F.B.S.’s Published Writings\u003cbr\u003e \tPublished Sources Cited\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cbr\u003e \tIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042743124311,"sku":"9781800732704","price":89.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781800732704.jpg?v=1750955434","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/franz-baermann-steiner-a-stranger-in-the-world-9781800732704","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
