‎Berlin: Akademie Verlag, 2005. 228 S. mit Abb., Broschiert.‎

‎Schönes, frisches Exemplar. - Mit Literaturhinweisen. - ISSN 0938-0116. - "Historische Anthropologie" wird hier als Bezeichnung für vielfältige, transdisziplinäre Bemühungen verwendet, die auch nach dem "Tode des Menschen", d. h. nach dem Ende der Verbindlichkeit einer abstrakten anthropologischen Norm, weiterhin Phänomene und Strukturen des Menschlichen erforschen. Historische Anthropologie steht so in der Spannung zwischen Geschichte und Humanwissenschaften. Aber sie erschöpft sich weder in einer Geschichte der Anthropologie als Disziplin noch im Beitrag der Geschichte als Disziplin zur Anthropologie. Sie versucht vielmehr, die Geschichtlichkeit ihrer Perspektiven und Methoden und die Geschicklichkeit ihres Gegenstandes aufeinander zu beziehen. Historische Anthropologie kann daher die Ergebnisse der Humanwissenschaften, aber auch diejenigen einer geschichtsphilosophisch fundierten Anthropologie-Kritik zusammenfassen und für neuartige, paradigmatische Fragestellungen fruchtbar machen. Im Kern ihrer Bemühungen herrscht eine Unruhe des Denkens, die nicht stillgestellt werden kann. Historische Anthropologie ist weder auf bestimmte kulturelle Räume noch auf einzelne Epochen beschränkt. In der Reflexion ihrer eigenen Geschicklichkeit vermag sie sowohl den Eurozentrismus der Humanwissenschaften als auch das lediglich antiquarische Interesse an Geschichte hinter sich zu lassen und offenen Problemen der Gegenwart wie der Zukunft den Vorzug zu geben. - Toni Bernhart und Gert Gröning: Vorausgeschickt; Friedrich W.

‎The Cheyenne and Arapaho Ordeal‎

‎xv420pp with illustrations and maps. Octavo 8 3/4" x 6" issued in black with grey and white lettering to spine. Pictorial white and black dust jacket. 1st edition.<br /><br />This work recounts the reservation period of the Cheyenne and the Arapahos in western Oklahoma and the following fifteen years. It is an investigation-and an indictment-of the assimilation and reservations policies thrust upon them in the latter half of the nineteenth century policies that succeeded only in doing enormous damage to a sturdy vital people. Confined to a reservation in the Indian Territory in 1875 the Southern Cheyenne and their neighbors the Arapahos traditionally hunting and mobile societies were forced into the federal government's image of "educated Christian farmer-citizens." Lacking the support of adequate appropriations or protective legislation the Cheyenne’s' lives were dominated by hunger disease and despair. Continuing niggardliness on the part of Congress in providing adequate agricultural equipment and instruction and an environment hostile to cultivation made agricultural self-sufficiency all but impossible. The continued reduction of their land base through allotments under the 1887 Dawes Act and later leasing and sale of land to whites further eroded the Indians' meager sources of income and security. An educational policy that left Cheyenne children without hope of jobs the banning of traditional religious ceremonies the prejudice of white citizens and institutions and the undermining of the roles of head men and medicine men led to further despair. But as the author demonstrates despite these crushing burdens and in the face of slow and inevitable changes in the society the Southern Cheyenne retained their identity a testimony to their courage and character. This well-documented compassionate account of the ordeal of the two tribes serves as a classic example of what happened to America's Indians at the hands of the whites. This is volume 136 in the Civilization of the American Indian Series.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Some light foxing to head end pages. Dust jacket lightly foxed at fold over edge price clipped. Over all a very good to fine copy in a near fine dust jacket. University of Oklahoma Press hardcover‎

‎La natura sistemica dell'uomo. Attualità del pensiero di Gregory Bateson‎

‎br. L'avventura intellettuale di Gregory Bateson ha attraversato tutto il XX secolo, abbracciando gli ambiti più diversi del pensiero dell'uomo, percorrendo le linee di confine tra campi differenti del sapere ed esplorandone le possibili interfacce. Esponente di un pensiero squisitamente formale, Bateson ha dedicato la sua appassionata ricerca alle omologie tra discipline apparentemente distanti, passando dall'antropologia alla psichiatria, dalle teorie dell'evoluzione alla cibernetica, dall'etologia all'ecologia, fino ad approdare - attraverso l'epistemologia - a una difficile ricerca sul significato del sacro nell'esperienza dell'uomo. Questo testo s'interroga sulla irriducibile attualità del suo pensiero, ricostruendone le radici, affrontandone le varie dimensioni da più punti di vista, proponendo confronti stimolanti e nuove linee di ricerca.‎

‎On The Edge Of The Global: Modern Anxieties In A‎

‎Stanford University Press Palo Alto: 2011. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Life in twenty-first century Tonga is rife with uncertainties. Though the postcolonial island kingdom may give the appearance of stability and order there is a malaise that pervades everyday life a disquiet rooted in the feeling that the twin forces of "progress" and "development"�and the seemingly inevitable wealth distribution that follows from them�have bypassed the society. Niko Besnier's illuminating ethnography analyzes the ways in which segments of this small-scale society grapple with their growing anxiety and hold on to different understandings of what modernity means. How should it be made relevant to local contexts How it should mesh with practices and symbols of tradition In the day-to-day lives of Tongans the weight of transformations brought on by neoliberalism and democracy press not in the abstract but in individually significant ways: how to make ends meet how to pay lip service to tradition and how to present a modern self without opening oneself to ridicule. Adopting a wide-angled perspective that brings together political economic cultural and social concerns this book focuses on the interface between the different forms that modern uncertainties take. Niko Besnier is Professor of Cultural Anthropology in the Department of Sociology & Anthropology at the University of Amsterdam. He has also taught at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Yale University Victoria University of Wellington and UCLA. He is the author of five books most recently Gossip and the Everyday Production of Politics 2009.

Besnier's subtle attentiveness to the shape of both ordinary and extraordinary lives and events makes for a rich and theoretically provocative examination indeed."�Don Brenneis Professor of Anthropology University of California Santa Cruz "This is a study of how modernity renders one anxious�anxious to be a part of it and anxious not to lose oneself or one's traditions along the way. Keenly situated on the global edge and on the edges of bodies and things Besnier's study of Tonga as a nervous kaleidoscope�of make-up make-over bodybuilding and the pawning and reselling of everyday things�is sharply observed and beautifully drawn. Clear smart witty and touching."�Anne Allison Professor of Anthropology Duke University Stanford University Press, Palo Alto: 2011 hardcover‎
