In this provocative new book, Henrietta Moore asks us to step back and re-examine in a fresh way the interconnections normally labeled 'globalisation'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A provocative analysis of globalization from an anthropological perspective, rich in ethnographic cases from Africa to Japan to the virtual world of the Second Life … This is a timely volume that will provide for valuable debates on epistemology in anthropology.\"\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\"This ambitious and wide-ranging work draws together diverse threads of contemporary social and cultural thought. Its generous readings of recent ethnography and social theory are noteworthy for their emphasis on inventiveness and hope, in contrast to the dark visions that mark many familiar accounts of globalization.\"\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Webb Keane, University of Michigan\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\"A very rich book, both in its challenging ideas and in the vivid ethnographic examples that help to ground these ideas. Most welcome is the plea for a more forward-looking notion of culture and more interest in people's creativity as inspired by new technical and politico-economic developments. The book addresses some major new challenges for anthropology and social science in general. Its originality and its masterful handling of a broad range of theories and ethnographies make it a true source of inspiration.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePeter Geschiere, University of Amsterdam\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements.  \u003cp\u003eChapter One: Thinking Again.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Two: Still Life.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Three: Slips of the Tongue.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Four: Other Modes of Transport.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Five: Second Nature.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Six: Arts of the Possible.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Seven: New Passions for Difference.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBibliography.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley and Sons Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49404373467479,"sku":"9780745636450","price":49.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780745636450.jpg?v=1730486260","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/still-life-9780745636450","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
