Based on ethnographic studies from around the world—varying from rituals and meetings over protests and conflicts to natural disasters and management—this volume analyzes generative moments through events that hold the key to understanding larger social situations. These events—including the Ashura ritual in Bahrain, social cleavages in South Africa, a Buddhist cave in Nepal, drought in Burkina Faso, an earthquake in Pakistan, the cartoon crisis in Denmark, corporate management at Bang \u0026amp; Olufsen, protest meetings in Europe, and flooding and urban citizenship in Mozambique—are not simply destructive disasters, crises, and conflicts, but also generative and constitutive of the social.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“In general terms,\u003c\/em\u003e In the Event: Toward an Anthropology of Generic Moments \u003cem\u003eaccomplishes several goals that make it a book extremely worth reading. For a start, it is an excellent introduction to the contemporary validity of the Manchester School, particularly in terms of the exploration concerning the question of what an event is and does. Furthermore, and following from this, the various contributions to this volume show a very thought provoking argument, inspired by Deleuze (2002): the event is the seed to change, to multiplicity, to the unexpected, rather than merely the illustration of something that already exists. Finally, every chapter of this book manifests something that is becoming increasingly evident for all of us: the translocal connections made visible by the occurrence of events.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e· Anthropological Forum\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e In the Event—toward an Anthropology of Generic Moments\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eBruce Kapferer\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/strong\u003e ‘Ashura in Bahrain: Analyses of an Analytical Event\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eThomas Fibiger\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/strong\u003e ‘Burying the ANC’: Post-apartheid Ambiguities at the University of Limpopo, South Africa\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eBjarke Oxlund\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/strong\u003e A Topographic Event: A Buddhist Lama’s Perception of a Pilgrimage Cave\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eJesper Oestergaard\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 4. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Outburst: Climate Change, Gender Relations, and Situational Analysis\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eJonas Østergaard Nielsen\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/strong\u003e Events and Effects: Intensive Transnationalism among Pakistanis in Denmark\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eMikkel Rytter\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Cartoon Controversy: Creating Muslims in a Danish Setting\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eAnja Kublitz\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 7.\u003c\/strong\u003e Values at Work: Ambivalent Situations and Human Resource Embarrassment\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eJakob Krause-Jensen\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 8. \u003c\/strong\u003eFigurations of the Future: On the Form and Temporality of Protests among Left Radical Activists in Europe\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eStine Krøijer\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 9.\u003c\/strong\u003e Mimesis of the State: From Natural Disaster to Urban Citizenship on the Outskirts of Maputo, Mozambique\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eMorten Nielsen\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tAbout the Editors\u003cbr\u003e \tIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042224374103,"sku":"9781782388890","price":22.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781782388890.jpg?v=1750953518","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/in-the-event-toward-an-anthropology-of-generic-moments-9781782388890","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
