McClintock A. (cur.)
Giuristi nati. Antropologia e diritto romano
br. Secondo la bella definizione di Dumézil, i Romani erano "giuristi per vocazione". A partire da un originale approccio antropologico, il volume vuole mostrare che il ius costituisce la più importante produzione culturale romana: una forma mentis che struttura il tempo, lo spazio, il linguaggio retorico, la letteratura, l'iconografia, le emozioni stesse. La prima parte, "Religione e diritto", affronta temi di carattere generale, ricostruendo attraverso un ampio ventaglio di fonti il senso che i Romani davano ai termini fas e ius e a personificazioni come Fides, Iustitia, Aequitas. Nella seconda parte, "Il ius in azione", si entra in quello che da Frazer a Lévi-Strauss è stato il terreno privilegiato dell'antropologia: i rapporti di parentela, colti qui nelle fonti giuridiche e nelle controversie retoriche.

No underlining. No highlighting. No margin notes. Flat uncreased spine. Pages are fresh and crisp. Quotations from the rear cover: "One of the more provocative studies of why middle America is making increasing use of ritual healing and what that choice tells us of problems with biomedical care in technological institutions. A welcome addition to anthropological studies of ritual healing in other societies and it illuminates a huge component of our health care system that is poorly understood." -- Arthur Kleinman M.D. Harvard University. "An all too rare volume namely a scholarly work on the practice of healing in suburban or what we might call middle-class America. McGuire perhaps uniquely has set out the religious or 'ritual' healing beliefs and practices that are usually strictly segregated and kept apart. Any one who takes seriously the need to understand 'healing'. should obtain this book." -- HEALTH AND HEALING. "Develops an innovative sociological approach to the study of alternative healing practices through a methodologically sound qualitative study. The high quality of research and conceptualization and the meticulous documentation of the relevant literature make this book essential reading for those interested in the sociology and anthropology of religion and of medicine and in the study of health and illness in contemporary America." -- CONTEMPORARY SOCIOLOGY. "The power of the book is in the larger cultural analysis it offers. a valuable contribution to medical sociology." -- SOCIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS. Keywords: Alternative Medicine . Fourth printing.

MCKEOWN C. TIMOTHY
In The Smaller Scope Of Conscience The Struggle For National Repatriation Legislation 1986-1990
University of Arizona Press Tucson: 2014. Softcover. Brand new book. In 1989 The National Museum of the American Indian Act NMAIA was successfully passed after a long and intense struggle. One year later the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act NAGPRA followed. These federal repatriation statutes�arguably some of the most important laws in the history of anthropology museology and American Indian rights�enabled Native Americans to reclaim human remains funerary objects sacred objects and objects of cultural patrimony. Twenty years later the controversy instigated by the creation of NMAIA and NAGPRA continues to simmer. In the Smaller Scope of Conscience is a thoughtful and detailed study of the ins and outs of the four-year process behind these laws. It is a singular contribution to the history of these issues with the potential to help mediate the ongoing debate by encouraging all sides to retrace the steps of the legislators responsible for the acts. Few works are as detailed as McKeown's account which looks into bills that came prior to NMAIA and NAGPRA and combs the legislative history for relevant reports and correspondence. Testimonies documents and interviews from the primary players of this legislative process are cited to offer insights into the drafting and political processes that shaped NMAIA and NAGPRA. Above all else this landmark work distinguishes itself from earlier legislative histories with the quality of its analysis. Invested and yet evenhanded in his narrative McKeown ensures that this journey through history�through the strategies and struggles of different actors to effect change through federal legislation�is not only accurate but eminently intriguing. "This book is a careful thoughtful and detailed study of the ins and outs of making one of the most important laws in the history of anthropology the museum world and American Indian rights. It is a singular contribution to the literature."�Chip Colwell-Chanthaphonh author of Massacre at Camp Grant: Forgetting and Remembering Apache History "A fascinating window into the American psyche itself."�Museum Anthropology "A thorough and highly detailed history."�The Chronicles of Oklahoma "A masterful history of how NAGPRA came to be. . . . An invaluable aid to lawyers museum authorities and scientists who hope to work with human remains or sacred objects and tribal officials who hope to protect them."�Great Plains Research In the Smaller Scope of Conscience University of Arizona Press, Tucson: 2014 paperback
