Japonizacja

"Książka Piotra Siudy i Anny Koralewskiej to próba wyjaśnienia fenomenu seriali anime w kontekście popularności, jaką cieszą się w samej Japonii, ale przede wszystkim w świecie Zachodu, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem Polski. Popularność ta przekłada się na wytworzenie się specyficznej subkultury fanów, którzy aktywnie włączają się w promocję poszczególnych seriali oraz w ich jakościowe oblicze, tłumacząc we własnym zakresie ścieżki dialogowe i tworząc napisy do filmów (często z pogwałceniem...

A co, jeśli? Pytania zmieniające Twój świat

A co, jeśli spojrzałbyś na swoje życie inaczej niż zwykle? A co, jeśli zadałbyś sam sobie kilka pomocnych pytań? Trzymasz w ręku książkę pełną takich pytań. Czy odważysz się je zadać? Pytania mają na celu zachęcić czytelnika do spojrzenia na swoje życie z innej strony. Znalezienie odpowiedzi nie jest tutaj priorytetem. Natomiast zadawanie sobie pytań wytrąci czytającego z jego utartych szlaków myślowych i podważy przyjęte przez niego konkluzje. Każdy kolejny rozdział porusza różne...

Przysłowia żydowskie

Samuel Adalberg

Przysłowia żydowskie

Ze wstępu: Aby czytelnikom dać możność ocenienia, jakie myśli, dążenia i przekonania przejawiają się w przysłowiach ludu wśród nas od wieków zamieszkałego, co od nas do swych tradycji przejął i przyswoił, a co nawzajem do naszych przylgnęło pamiątek, postanowiliśmy je przetłumaczyć. Przysłowia żydowskie mało się nadają do przekładu; są one przeplatane mnóstwem wyrażeń hebrajskich i innych, odnoszących się do obrządków religijnych lub zwyczajów; w przekładzie naszym oddaliśmy myśl każdego...

Ze staropolskich anegdot i przypowieści

O niniejszym dziełku: „Roku 1669 zabrał się Potocki do spisywania i tłumaczenia sentencji i przypowieści polskich i łacińskich; niebawem przerwał pracę, choć jej nigdy zupełnie nie porzucił; r. 1688 wrócił do niej i popierał ją odtąd stale i systematycznie aż do końca życia; wynikiem tej pracy był ów właśnie foliant. Stanowi on prawdziwy skarb i dla ocenienia duchowej fizjognomii poety – który tu złożył, nie obawiając się niepowołanego oka, wyznania swe religijne, polityczne i literackie – i dla...

Rainforest Asylum

Rainforest Asylum

Malaysian psychiatric services and policy show some similar developments to those of the West. Yet much of the rhetoric that has informed these changes internationally have yet to be fully embraced in a modern, industrialised nation seeking to develop services congruent with the complex and rich diversity of ethnicity, culture and geography in the region. The relevance of this unique and extensive ethnographic study is that it captures the fascinating and otherwise lost voices of Malaysian...

African Friends and Money Matters, Second Edition

African Friends and Money Matters grew out of frustrations that Westerners experience when they travel and work in Africa. Africans have just as many frustrations relating to Westerners in their midst. Each manages money, time, and relationships in very different ways, often creating friction and misunderstanding. This book deals with everyday life in Africa, showing the underlying logic of African economic systems and behavior. Two new chapters in this second edition emphasize personal...

Ensnared by AIDS

David K. Beine

Ensnared by AIDS

How people make sense of illness is, in part, culturally determined. Existing community beliefs and presuppositions are organized as cultural models, which “make meaning” of new situations such as the HIV/AIDS epidemic. These cultural constructions can also contribute to the spread of the epidemic. This volume examines the meaning and cultural contexts of HIV/AIDS in Nepal, where AIDS is relatively new and rapidly growing. Until now little has been known about how Nepalis understand the illness...

In Books 1 and 2 of The Human Equation Toolkit series, mime Wayne Constantineau and scholar Eric McLuhan explore the four postures and the four modes of action.

Friends, Followers and the Future

There’s a revolution going on, as ever-accelerating developments in digital information technologies change nearly every aspect of how we live, work, play, do business and engage in politics. Share and share alike—the numbers say it all as billions of people worldwide flock to online media and use social networks to discover and spread news and information. In the process, ever-growing networks of “ordinary people” are using these powerful new tools to...

Acclimated to Africa

Misunderstood: one thing foreigners never want to be! But Africans and Westerners, interpreting the world through different cultural lenses, misunderstand each other with alarming regularity. This is sometimes funny, sometimes scandalous, but always damages credibility. This book is designed to promote cultural competence among Westerners working in Africa and among Africans living in the West. Cultural competence—knowing what one needs to know to act in a manner acceptable in a society—is the...

The State and the Social

The State and the Social

Botswana has been portrayed as a major case of exception in Africa—as an oasis of peace and harmony with an enduring parliamentary democracy, blessed with remarkable diamond-driven economic growth. Whereas the “failure” of other states on the continent is often attributed to the prevalence of indigenous political ideas and structures, the author argues that Botswana’s apparent success is not the result of Western ideas and practices of government having replaced indigenous ideas and...

Foodscapes, Foodfields, and Identities in the YucatÁn

The state of Yucatán has its own distinct culinary tradition, and local people are constantly thinking and talking about food. They use it as a vehicle for social relations but also to distinguish themselves from “Mexicans.” This book examines the politics surrounding regional cuisine, as the author argues that Yucatecan gastronomy has been created and promoted in an effort to affirm the identity of a regional people and to oppose the hegemonic force of central Mexican cultural icons and forms....

Trusting and its Tribulations

Despite its immense significance and ubiquity in our everyday lives, the complex workings of trust are poorly understood and theorized. This volume explores trust and mistrust amidst locally situated scenes of sociality and intimacy. Because intimacy has often been taken for granted as the foundation of trust relations, the ethnographies presented here challenge us to think about dangerous intimacies, marked by mistrust, as well as forms of trust that cohere through non-intimate forms of...

Straying from the Straight Path

If piety, faith, and conviction constitute one side of the religious coin, then imperfection, uncertainty, and ambivalence constitute the other. Yet, scholars tend to separate these two domains and place experiences of inadequacy in everyday religious life – such as a wavering commitment, religious negligence or weakness in faith – outside the domain of religion ‘proper.’ Straying from the Straight Path breaks with this tendency by examining how self-perceived failure is, in many cases, part...

European Anthropologies

In what ways did Europeans interact with the diversity of people they encountered on other continents in the context of colonial expansion, and with the peasant or ethnic ‘Other’ at home? How did anthropologists and ethnologists make sense of the mosaic of people and societies during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, when their disciplines were progressively being established in academia? By assessing the diversity of European intellectual histories within sociocultural anthropology, this...

Economic Citizenship

Economic Citizenship

With the spread of neoliberal projects, responsibility for the welfare of minority and poor citizens has shifted from states to local communities. Businesses, municipalities, grassroots activists, and state functionaries share in projects meant to help vulnerable populations become self-supportive. Ironically, such projects produce odd discursive blends of justice, solidarity, and wellbeing, and place the languages of feminist and minority rights side by side with the language of apolitical...

Images from Paradise

Drawing upon the disciplines of politics, anthropology, psychoanalysis, aesthetics and cinema studies, Salgó presents a new way of looking at the “art of European unification.” The official visual narratives of the European Union constitute the main object of inquiry – the iconography of the new series of euro banknotes and the videos through which the supranational elite seek to generate “collective effervescence,” allow for a European carnival to take place, and prompt citizens to pledge...

Coming of Age in Times of Uncertainty

Adulthood is taken for granted. It connotes the end of childhood, the resolution to the “storm and stress” period of adolescence. This conception is strongly entrenched in the sociology of youth and the sociology of the life course as well as in the policy arena. At the same time, adulthood itself remains unarticulated; journey’s end remains conceptually fixed and theoretically uncontested. Adulthood, then, is both central to the social imagination and neglected as an area of sociological...
