  • A Celebration of Demons

    par Bruce Kapferer ...
    Collections series Explorations in Anthropology
    The Sinhalese exorcism rituals are perhaps the most complex and the most magnificent in performance still extant. For this second edition, the author has written a new preface and introduction in which he argues that the techniques of healing in Sri Lanka and the aesthetics of this healing cannot be reduced to Western psychoanalytic or psychotherapeutic terms, and develops new and original ...

  • Crisis of the State

    War and Social Upheaval

    Modifié par Bruce Kapferer, Bjørn Enge Bertelsen ...
    Analyzing both historical contexts and geographical locations, this volume explores the continuous reformation of state power and its potential in situations of violent conflict. The state, otherwise understood as an abstract and transcendent concept in many works on globalization in political philosophy, is instead located and analyzed here as an embedded part of lived reality. This relationship ... En savoir plus

  • In the Event

    Toward an Anthropology of Generic Moments

    Modifié par Lotte Meinert, Bruce Kapferer ...
    Events are “generative moments” in at least three senses: events are created by and condense larger-scale social structures; as moments, they spark and give rise to new social processes; in themselves, events may also serve to analyze social situations and relationships. Based on ethnographic studies from around the world—varying from rituals and meetings over protests and conflicts to natural ... En savoir plus

  • Legends of People, Myths of State

    Violence, Intolerance, and Political Culture in Sri Lanka and Australia

    par Bruce Kapferer ...
    The civil war in Sri Lanka and the part that nationalism seemed to play in it inspired the writing of this book some twenty-three years ago. The argument was developed through a comparative analysis of nationalism in Sri Lanka with the author’s native Australia. At the time this constituted an innovative approach to comparison in anthropology, as well as to nationalism and its possibilities. It ... En savoir plus

  • Contemporary Religiosities

    Emergent Socialities and the Post-Nation-State

    Modifié par Bruce Kapferer, Kari Telle, Annelin Eriksen ...
    The last decade has seen an unexpected return of the religious, and with it the creation of new kinds of social forms alongside new fusions of political and religious realms that high modernity kept distinct. For a fuller understanding of what this means for society in the context of globalization, it is necessary to rethink the relationship between the religious and the secular; the contributors ...

  • Against Exoticism

    Toward the Transcendence of Relativism and Universalism in Anthropology

    Modifié par Bruce Kapferer, Dimitrios Theodossopoulos ...
    Anthropology begins in the encounter with the ‘exotic’: what stands outside of—and challenges—conventional or established understandings. This volume confronts the distortions of orientalism, ethnocentrism, and romantic nostalgia to expose exoticism, defined as the construction of false and unsubstantiated difference. Its aim is to re-found the importance of the exotic in the development of ... En savoir plus

    Populism and its Contemporary Crisis

    Modifié par Bruce Kapferer, Dimitrios Theodossopoulos ...
    Collections Livre 18 - Critical Interventions: A Forum for Social Analysis
    Does populism indicate a radical crisis in Western democratic political systems? Is it a revolt by those who feel they have too little voice in the affairs of state or are otherwise marginalized or oppressed? Or are populist movements part of the democratic process?Bringing together different anthropological experiences of current populist movements, this volume makes a timely contribution to ...

    A Critique

    Modifié par Bruce Kapferer, Marina Gold ...

    A development in anthropological theory, characterized as the 'moral turn', is gaining popularity and should be carefully considered.

    Liminality, and Victor Turner’s Contribution to the Understanding of Socio-historical Process

    Modifié par Marina Gold, Bruce Kapferer ...
    Collections Livre 2 - Egalitarianism
    Liminality: the state of being ‘betwixt and between’ is one of anthropology’s most influential concepts. This volume reconsiders Victor Turner’s innovative extension of Arnold Van Gennep’s concept of liminality from within the Manchester tradition of Social Anthropology established by Max Gluckman. Turner’s work was grounded in ethnography and engaged with philosophical perspectives in varied ... En savoir plus

    Modifié par Cristóbal Rovira Kaltwasser, Paul A. Taggart, Paulina Ochoa Espejo, Pierre Ostiguy ...
    Populist forces are becoming increasingly relevant across the world, and studies on populism have entered the mainstream of the political science discipline. However, so far no book has synthesized the ongoing debate on how to study the populist phenomenon. This handbook provides state of the art research and scholarship on populism, and lays out, not only the cumulated knowledge on populism, but ... En savoir plus
