La Chiesa nomade. Per un?antropologia storica dell?evangelizzazione cattolica dei rom e sinti in Italia
br. "Cari zingari, cari nomadi, cari gitani, venuti da ogni parte d'Europa, a voi il nostro saluto." Con queste parole il 26 settembre 1965 papa Paolo VI inizia il suo discorso in un grande raduno che viene considerato oggi il punto di partenza per nuove strategie pastorali verso rom e sinti. Il libro analizza il modo in cui la Chiesa cattolica contribuisce alla metamorfosi dei "nomadi" nell'Italia (e in parte nell'Europa) della seconda metà del Novecento attraverso quelle nuove strategie pastorali. Si tratta di strategie che portarono decine di preti, suore e laici a vivere con i "nomadi" in nome della condivisione in Cristo, che svilupparono un'editoria cattolica rivolta ai "nomadi" o riguardante i "nomadi", che favorirono la traduzione in romanes di testi ezvangelici e liturgici e che portarono agli onori degli altari, per la prima volta nella storia, un "nomade". Ma le strategie pastorali non appaiono sempre omogenee e concordi all'interno della Chiesa, né nei rapporti con i "nomadi", né nei rapporti con le autorità diocesane e parrocchiali. Partendo dalle esperienze etnografiche dell'autore, il volume analizza tali rapporti, tenendo in considerazione le storie di vita di singoli missionari e attivisti religiosi che hanno vissuto per decenni nei campi nomadi o nei quartieri rom della Penisola.

Lemert Edwin M.; Rinaldi C. (cur.)
Devianza, problemi sociali e forme di controllo
br. Dalle etnografie del bere in Polinesia allo studio transculturale della balbuzie, dalla paranoia come effetto delle dinamiche di esclusione alle etichette devianti elaborate dalle agenzie del controllo sociale e alle conseguenze dello stigma sulla riorganizzazione simbolica del sé "deviante", questo classico di Edwin M. Lemert è tra i primi studi ad allontanarsi dall'atteggiamento teorico secondo il quale è la devianza a dar luogo al controllo sociale. Per il sociologo americano è invece il controllo a produrre la devianza e a far sorgere ulteriori forme di controllo sempre più invasive. Devianza, problemi sociali e forme di controllo costituisce ancora oggi un testo di riferimento per gli studiosi e per tutti coloro che vogliano accostarsi al pensiero del suo autore, pronti a coglierne le intuizioni e a guardare alle devianze come prodotti dell'organizzazione sociale.

Akaito. Archeologi e antropologi all'ombra del Sol Levante
ill., br. Tra l'Ottocento e il Novecento il fascino esotico del Giappone non soltanto ha toccato le sorti dell'arte, ma ha traversato insospettabilmente anche gli spazi dell'archeologia e dell'antropologia europee. I saggi qui raccolti, introdotti da Rossella Menegazzo, delineano i ritratti di alcuni importanti studiosi che hanno intessuto con il paese del Sol Levante particolari e influenti relazioni, la cui ricaduta nell'elaborazione del loro pensiero e del metodo d'indagine a esso sotteso, pur con angolazioni personali e diverse, è stata per tutti significativa e profonda.

Augé Marc; Nodari F. (cur.)
Condividere la condizione umana. Un vademecum per il nostro presente
br. In un'era dominata dal disorientamento, sempre interconnessa ma abitata da solitudini che si moltiplicano, l'antropologo ed etnologo Marc Augé, cui si deve l'introduzione delle nozioni di non-lieux e di surmodernità, affronta questioni centrali dell'umanità stessa dell'uomo: la felicità, la dignità, la fiducia, il preoccupante incremento delle disuguaglianze. Il volume, che trova il suo fil rouge nel senso profondo del condividere l'umanità generica che abita in ciascuno di noi, diviene una sorta di vademecum per il nostro presente. Quasi assopito in una pseudo felicità sedentaria, il soggetto contemporaneo - teso tra paura del futuro e relazioni di superficie - sembra arrancare in un presente continuo segnato da un clima di crescente barbarie. L'autore, lungi dal lasciare spazio al pessimismo, offre al lettore una sorta di kit di sopravvivenza e una bussola per orientarsi nel nostro tempo. Ci invita altresì a scommettere su una chance in cui ne va del nostro stesso futuro: l'utopia dell'educazione.

Il disegno selvaggio. Un'antropologia del grafismo infantile
ill., br. Un antropologo studia sul campo una strana tribù: i bambini di una scuola dell'infanzia. In particolare, cerca di capire come questi utilizzino spontaneamente e per i propri scopi uno strumento di comunicazione a loro congeniale, il disegno. Evitando estetiche primitiviste e valutazioni psicologico-cognitive, l'analisi fa emergere, con uno sguardo relativista, come i bambini attraverso il disegno agiscano in modalità peculiari, con precise intenzioni, nel loro mondo sociale: comunicare la propria identità, mettersi in relazione con il contesto, dare vita a giochi che nascono nell'immagine, negoziare e stabilire relazioni sociali. Per cogliere quindi il significato di un disegno è necessario valutarne le condizioni di produzione e comprenderne l'uso all'interno del gruppo. In questo testo, si propone una selezione di strumenti interpretativi per analizzare la complessità e il significato del disegno infantile colto nel suo stato "selvaggio".

Cacopardo Alberto M.
Chi ha inventato la democrazia? Modello fraterno e modello paterno del potere
br. C'è una "storia canonica" della democrazia, che incombe nel pensiero occidentale: racconta che il "governo del popolo" fu inventato dai greci, poi si eclissò, forse baluginò qua e là in qualche piega della storia d'Occidente, per risorgere infine nelle rivoluzioni liberali moderne e dilagare per tutto il pianeta nel tardo Novecento. Questa narrazione è lontanissima dal vero. Se fu democrazia quella dei greci, lo furono non di meno le forme politiche dei tanti popoli che, in tutte le epoche e in tutti i continenti, si sottrassero al dominio dei regni e degli imperi, praticando, con mille variazioni sullo stesso tema, quello che qui è chiamato il modello fraterno del potere. Il Peristan, quella vasta e impervia regione montuosa fra Hindukush e Karakorum che ospitò le culture dei Kafiri, ha coltivato per millenni questo tipo di forme politiche in un lungo confronto con l'opposto modello paterno dei potentati che lo circondavano, fino a traghettarle vive e vegete sulla scena del terzo millennio. Presentazione di Luciano Canfora.

Ingold Tim; Meschiari M. (cur.)
Antropologia. Ripensare il mondo
br. L'umanità si trova a un bivio. Le crescenti disuguaglianze, l'acuirsi della violenza a livello politico, i fondamentalismi in conflitto e una crisi ambientale di proporzioni planetarie rappresentano l'attuale scenario cui far fronte. Come modellare un mondo che abbia spazio per tutti, incluse le generazioni future? Quali le possibilità per un vivere collettivo? A queste urgenti questioni cerca di rispondere l'antropologia, mettendo in campo la saggezza e l'esperienza delle persone, indipendentemente da background e percorsi di vita. L'autore ripercorre le tappe di sviluppo di questo campo di studi; nato per supportare gli ideali del progresso, crollato tra le rovine della guerra e del colonialismo, rinasce oggi come disciplina della speranza, destinata ad assumere un ruolo centrale nel dibattito sulle impellenti questioni intellettuali, etiche e politiche contemporanee. Con appassionate argomentazioni, Tim Ingold dimostra perché l'antropologia è importante per tutti noi.

Morin Edgar
Il paradigma perduto. Che cos'è la natura umana?
br. Questo saggio è il manifesto di un gigantesco progetto transdisciplinare di filosofia e antropologia della complessità. Edgar Morin sostiene che bisogna porre fine alla riduzione dell'uomo a homo faber e homo sapiens. Homo, che apporta al mondo magia, mito, delirio, è dotato nello stesso tempo di ragione e sragione: è sapiens-demens. Rifiutando una concezione ristretta e chiusa della vita (biologismo), una concezione insulare e sopra-naturale dell'uomo (antropologismo), una concezione che ignora la vita e l'individuo (sociologismo), Edgar Morin delinea una concezione complessa dell'uomo come a un tempo specie, società e individuo. È una visione radicalmente ecologica della nostra condizione terrestre, che raccoglie la sfida di inventare una nuova immagine dell'umano, nell'avventura spaesante dell'era planetaria.

Bhabha H. K. (cur.)
Nazione e narrazione
br. "Quando diventiamo un popolo? Quando smettiamo di esserlo? E quanto incidono queste enormi questioni sui nostri rapporti con ogni altro e con tutti gli altri?". A partire da tali domande si articolano i saggi raccolti in "Nazione e narrazione". Homi K. Bhabha riunisce i principali studiosi che si sono interrogati sulla rappresentazione culturale dell'ambivalenza della società moderna, cercando di definire come l'immagine ambigua della nazione tragga origine dalla sua storia in continua transizione, dal suo oscillare tra differenti vocabolari. Da Joseph-Ernest Renan a Gillian Beer, gli autori qui presentati percorrono la tradizione del pensiero politico e il linguaggio letterario dai quali ha origine l'idea storica di nazione in Occidente.

Buttitta Ignazio
Verità e menzogna dei simboli
brossura Cosa sono e come funzionano i simboli? Quali sono i meccanismi di trasmissione dell'immaginario, i suoi spazi e la sua rilevanza sociale? Quali il ruolo e il perimetro del sacro, del mito, del rito, della magia e della religione in certi ambiti, erroneamente percepiti come marginali, della società contemporanea? Quali le strategie di trasmissione della memoria culturale e i processi di produzione e riproduzione dell'identità comunitaria? I saggi riuniti in questo volume cercano di fornire alcune risposte a questi interrogativi confrontandosi con la pervasiva, sebbene non di rado occulta, dialettica culturale tra immanenza e trascendenza e indagando sulle dinamiche psicologiche e sociali della produzione simbolica attraverso l'analisi di diversi contesti di espressione (ergologici, rituali, letterari, artistici) del simbolismo dell'aria, dell'acqua, del fuoco, della vegetazione, del pane. La realtà esperita dall'antropologo nel suo confronto diretto con circoscritti campi d'indagine diviene così occasione di riflessione su problemi più generali, imponendo la necessità di riferirsi a diversi ambiti disciplinari, dallo studio della preistoria alla semiologia e alla storia delle religioni, dall'estetica alla sociologia, per cercare di contribuire alla tessitura di una tela forse mai destinata a definitivo compimento.

Morin Edgar
I fratricidi. Jugoslavia Bosnia 1991-1995. Nuova ediz.
br. "Cari amici e fratelli, Croati, Serbi, Macedoni, Montenegrini, Albanesi, non aspirate a restare solo croati, serbi, macedoni, montenegrini, albanesi; siate anche pienamente europei. L'Europa potrà veramente diventare Europa solo creando molteplici e diverse associazioni tra nazioni ed etnie collegate, e sarà proprio l'integrazione di tutte queste unioni a costituire il suo tessuto vivente". È l'accorato appello di Edgar Morin, posto in apertura a questa lucida analisi delle guerre iugoslave, delineata nel periodo di maggior asprezza del conflitto. Lo sguardo del grande sociologo francese illustra lo scontro fra due concezioni incompatibili dello stato e dell'identità nazionale: una rigida, esclusiva, intollerante, follemente "purificatrice", e una rispettosa delle pluralità delle culture, delle memorie e dei modi di vita, considerata come la fonte stessa della vitalità di uno stato e dell'Europa tutta.

Scandurra Giuseppe
Ibridi ferraresi. L'antropologia in una città senza antropologi
br. Che cos'è il territorio ferrarese? Come lo immaginiamo se chiudiamo gli occhi? Oggetto di questa ricerca è la formazione di una rete di intellettuali a Ferrara tra l'inizio degli anni Cinquanta e la fine degli anni Ottanta, che hanno prodotto fuori e dentro le mura cittadine una serie di opere visive (se pensiamo alla pittura, alla fotografia, al cinema, alla videoarte) e di scritti (reportage, inchieste sociali, saggi, poesie, racconti, romanzi): tutte opere innovative e di valore antropologico. Alla base dello sguardo di questa generazione di intellettuali vi era un punto di vista fortemente transdisciplinare in cui le separazioni tra discipline - a cominciare da quella tra studi scientifici e umanistici - erano meno evidenti, vista anche l'assenza di facoltà umanistiche e l'istituzione della prima cattedra di Antropologia a Ferrara solo in anni recenti. Le domande al centro di questo volume sono: come si è formata questa rete? Quanto ha contribuito a fare del capoluogo estense, e della sua provincia, una grande città dell'arte e della cultura?

Pezzano Giacomo
Ereditare. Il filo che unisce e separa le generazioni
br. Gli esseri umani si preoccupano di chi verrà dopo e devono fare incessantemente i conti con chi è venuto prima: ecco il cuore dell'eredità, che anima e talora tormenta le nostre esistenze. Siamo costantemente alle prese con patrimoni economici, simbolici, affettivi, culturali e ormai persino digitali, ma per lo più non vi facciamo caso, se non quando le cose diventano complicate, come nel caso di un testamento da impugnare, un debito da rifiutare, un giovane irruento da biasimare o un pianeta da salvaguardare. Per comprendere che cosa succeda con l'eredità e perché ereditare ci offra insieme così tante opportunità e perplessità, bisogna porsi esplicitamente una serie di domande come: di che cosa parliamo davvero quando parliamo di eredità? Che cosa sta succedendo oggi nel mondo per rendere il problema dell'eredità così incalzante, anche pensando alle generazioni future? Perché noi esseri umani siamo biologicamente fatti in modo tale che l'eredità si presenta come un problema tanto assillante? Quali idee possiamo far lavorare per arrivare a considerare l'eredità come un'opera aperta che vive di continui "hackeraggi"? Ereditare affronta in maniera congiunta questi e altri urgenti interrogativi.

Georges Lapassade
Dallo sciamano al raver. Saggio sulla transe
La transe, che durante il XIX secolo era collegata a esperimenti medianici e ipnotici, è diventata oggetto di ricerche etnologiche. Oggi in Occidente essa non riguarda più solo pochi specialisti e affiora nella nostra società. Tuttavia, l'attuale movimento della transe manca di basi teoriche: può cominciare a costruirle, sostiene Lapassade, se inizia a interessarsi realmente a ciò che accade in altre culture, ritrovando dispositivi, procedure iniziatiche e tecniche nella prospettiva di una ripresa creativa e consapevole delle proprie risorse vitali. La prima parte del libro descrive la genealogia delle varie figure di transe, dalle società primitive fino alle nuove forme di transe metropolitane, passando attraverso il culto di Dioniso, il vodu, il sabba del Medioevo. Nella seconda parte, la transe investe la psicosociologia dei gruppi e la psicoterapia rituale. Infine, la terza e ultima parte presenta gli aspetti principali di un'antropologia della transe e dell'esperienza di una coscienza "modificata" o "esplodente", affrontando inoltre il problema dell'eventuale "simulazione" di questo stato "secondo" del corpo e della coscienza. Autori: Georges Lapassade. Curatori: Gianni De Martino.

Fabian Johannes
Il tempo e gli altri. La politica del tempo in antropologia
brossura "Il tempo e gli altri" è una critica serrata a come noi occidentali costruiamo le "nostre" rappresentazioni degli "Altri", riducendoli spesso a ricettacoli di immobilità in uno Spazio e in un Tempo diversi e separati dai nostri. Anticipatore di tendenze e di teorie affermatesi solo in seguito, Johannes Fabian ricolloca noi e gli Altri nello stesso Spazio e nello stesso Tempo, promuovendo un dialogo in cui tutti sono protagonisti e portatori di una propria, unica e significativa storia, perché ognuno di noi rappresenta una cultura fluida e mutevole. In un ampio affresco che attraversa la filosofia e la teologia, la storia e la linguistica, la pedagogia e la politica, Fabian indaga gli usi e gli abusi del Tempo quale essenziale marcatore di differenze, restituendo un'opera che ha cambiato il modo in cui gli antropologi pensano e costruiscono i loro oggetti di studio: le persone.

Duranti Alessandro; Donzelli Aurora (cur.)
Antropologia del linguaggio. Nuova ediz.
br. Con questo manuale, ormai diventato un classico, Alessandro Duranti è riuscito ad affermare il ruolo decisivo dell'antropologia del linguaggio nelle scienze umane. Il testo muove dalla consapevolezza che "il linguaggio non è solo parte integrante della cultura, ma un modello per creare e riprodurre l'intera realtà sociale". Con questa certezza l'autore affronta in forma sistematica gli aspetti della lingua come pratica culturale e strumento simbolico: dall'analisi della conversazione alla pragmatica del discorso, fino allo studio delle varietà linguistiche e delle comunità multilingui. Le prospettive teoriche - essenziali le parti dedicate alla nozione di cultura e alla diversità linguistica - si misurano con l'analisi della metodologia d'indagine etnografica e di trascrizione, cioè con il perno dell'antropologia del linguaggio come pratica scientifica. La lingua si identifica con l'interazione sociale e, dunque, con ogni forma di analisi dell'esperienza. Per l'antropologo del linguaggio, essa è allora allo stesso tempo oggetto e soggetto di studio, fenomeno che si amplifica fino a confondersi con l'intero universo sociale. Tra parola e oggetto, tra parola e azione non c'è più frattura, ma quel campo di infinite connessioni che è l'essenza della condizione umana.

Young Iris Marion
Abiezione e oppressione. Le radici inconsce del razzismo
br. Lungi dal rappresentare un retaggio ormai superato, razzismo, sessismo e omofobia sono ancora riscontrabili in abitudini quotidiane, in sentimenti e reazioni corporee, in significati culturali sedimentati al punto da costituire strutture inconsce di oppressione. Nei saggi raccolti in Abiezione e oppressione, la filosofa statunitense Iris Marion Young indaga le reazioni di avversione che strutturano le società contemporanee, cosiddette liberali e tolleranti, nelle quali una certa estetica dei corpi si sostituisce alle legittimazioni ufficiali dell'oppressione. Ricorrendo alle categorie di abiezione e di pregiudizio inconscio, l'autrice analizza in che modo le paure e le avversioni automatiche - che ancora oggi definiscono alcuni gruppi come disprezzabili - interagiscano con l'angoscia di soggetti alle prese con una società complessa e mutevole.

Natan Feltrin
Umani, prede e predatori
Un seme per il futuro è un’idea coraggiosa che, al di là del suolo a volte gerbido a volte fertile, deve essere gettata in un mondo non ancora in grado di comprendere il valore dei possibili frutti venturi. Così, il seme-idea si fa segno per un mondo a venire, testimone presente di quel che potrebbe essere, ente costitutivamente moderno poiché in anticipo sui tempi della percezione comune. In questo primo ritaglio di futuro vi è uno sguardo al passato volto a ridefinire in senso critico i ruoli di preda e predatore troppo sovente cristallizzati in una narrazione schiettamente antropocentrica. Natan Feltrin rompe, con toni eretici, la tradizionale prospettiva dell’uomo come indiscusso predatore alpha puntando dritto al cuore degli effetti socio-culturali che sono emersi dai meccanismi antipredatori di Homo sapiens. Federica Lovato porta il lettore in un viaggio genealogico dell’attitudine venatoria onde scalfirne i presupposti di naturalità e moralità. Al termine di questo volume chi sia preda, chi predatore e cosa comporti pensare l’altro in termini di «bottino» sono tutte questioni spalancate verso un orizzonte di rinnovamento etico. Introduzione di Nicola Zengiaro. Postfazione di Leonardo Caffo. Autori: Natan Feltrin, Federica Lovato. Prefazione: Leonardo Caffo, Nicola Zengiaro.

Dario Agostinetto
L'antropologia ecologica. Nature, culture, umanità
La tradizione occidentale ha sempre mantenuto la rigida separazione tra natura e cultura come caposaldo del suo pensiero filosofico e antropologico. Negli ultimi anni, tuttavia, questa opposizione è stata messa in discussione, in favore di prospettive aperte all’idea di coinvolgimento attivo e reciprocità nella definizione della dimensione culturale. Sulla scena antropologica si delinea gradualmente il rifiuto delle ontologie dualiste che a lungo hanno costituito il punto di partenza delle scienze umane. Nella comune critica fondamentale alla dicotomia natura-cultura, Dario Agostinetto presenta la riflessione di Tim Ingold con particolare attenzione al suo approccio ecologico e all’indissolubile associazione che intercorre tra l’organismo e il suo ambiente. Beatrice Del Monte e Mara Misiti ripercorrono invece la storia dell’antropologia ecologica presentando, infine, il cyberfemminismo di Donna Haraway come possibile progetto etico-politico. Autori: Dario Agostinetto, Beatrice Del Monte, Mara Misiti. Prefazione: Paola Rebughini, Samuele Strati.

Amitabha Sarkar, Samira Dasgupta
Dimensions of Anthropology : a Prismatic Panorama [Hardcover]
ABOUT THE BOOK:- Anthropology is the study of man in a holistic way. One fundamental necessity of anthropological research is the exercise to keep the studies out of any bias or pre-conceived, value- loaded thought, which in turn calls for a rigid exclusion of value judgements. Chemist devotes himself or herself to the understanding of the elements and analyses their behavior in relation to each other at the laboratory, similarly, an anthropologist observes, describe and analyses the contextual situation in the field which is considered as his laboratory. Initially anthropologists devoted their cornerstone to ethnography. Ethnographic study is the base line studies and thereafter by churning and amassing ethnographic data, problem oriented or focused results can be achieved. The present volume is fully concentrated on author’s various empirical studies carried out byAnthropological Survey of India for the last 35 years since 1977. The varied dimensions of anthropological research works are taken into consideration for the present volume. The communities involved in this research work are Toto from West Bengal, Birjia, Asur and Mal Paharia of Jharkhand, Abujh Maria, Muria, Bhatra, Dhurwa and Halba etc tribal population from Chhattisgarh,Dhodia of Gujarat and Bhil of Udaipur , Rajasthan and also from the Sundarbans. The present treatise contains the following dimensions of anthropology, –apart from development of anthropology as an academic discipline, its methodology and development of thoughts, the other dimensions are- kinship system, social organization, social stratification, application of anthropological knowledge regarding concept of space, cultural ecology,concept of ethnoscience among Indian tribes, culture and adaptation,study of traditional knowledge for sustainable living, folk medicine,culture and communication through signal, sign and symbol, ethnicity and identity, religion, cultural synthesis, art and culture and concepts of understanding social-cultural change. More so, this book can help students, NGO’s, planners cum local administrators to gain an insight into anthropology which in turn can equip them with a holistic approach for developmental programmes at micro levels in the tribal dominated areas of the country under specific fields of study, function or operations.

Geoffrey Gorer Foreword By J.H. Hutton
The Lepchas of Sikkim [Hardcover]
A complete anthropological profile of the famous Lepcha tribal community of Sikkim. Of the various tribes that inhabit the mystical heights and downs of the Himalayas. Lepchas stand apart as an interesting subject of study and are famous for traits like absence of aggressiveness, obsesion with sex and optimistic character.This book attempts to provide rich insight into the various aspects of Lepchas' life and culture, with special reference to Lingthem and Zongu villages of Sikkim. It tries to make a total picture by presenting three viewpoints—the framework of the Lepcha society, the impact of the culture on the people, and the individuals who were the product of that culture and society. It describes in detail their homes, food habits, rules of kinship, and marriage, sex life, socio-religious rituals, and their relations with environment, foreigners, other Lepchas and the supernatural. A discussion on social evolution and aggression also find place in the book. Various disciplines—anthropological, psychological, functional and Freudian—have been employed to meet this purpose. About The Author:- Geoffrey Gorer (1905–1985), was an English anthropologist and a noted author, for his application of psychoanalytic techniques to anthropology.He was educated at Charterhouse and at Jesus College, Cambridge. During the 1930s he wrote unpublished fictions and drama. His first book was The Revolutionary Ideas of the Marquis de Sade (1934). Africa Dances (1935) was an account of a journey to Africa, and another cultural study Bali and Angkor, or, Looking at Life and Death (1936). Hot Strip Tease appeared in 1937 and Himalayan Village in 1938.His admiration for George Orwell's novel Burmese Days led him to contact Orwell in 1935. They remained good friends until Orwell's death in 1950.From 1939 he lived and worked in the United States. He wrote The Americans (1948), The People of Great Russia: A Psychological Study (1949), and worked with various (semi) official organisations about studies in Soviet and other cultures. Modern types (1955) was his last book written in America.From 1957 he again worked in England. Exploring English Character, based on a large survey he designed, which appeared in 1955. Death, Grief, and Mourning in Contemporary Britain appeared in 1965. The Danger of Equality and other essays (1966) were collection of some recent papers. Sex and Marriage in England Today appeared in 1971.The Lepchas are one of the Mongoloid tribes inhabiting the southern slopes of the Himalayas. Since most of the area in which they live was partially or completely closed to outside world, there is very little information available about their life and culture.

Memoirs and private diarie of spouses of important leaders, statesmen, diplomats and civil servants have a significance of their own in the history of mankind.
