Mort d'un notaire de province

Mort d'un notaire de province

Autor: Richard Witczak

Número de Páginas: 530

La veuve du notaire ne croyait pas un mot des conclusions sur la mort de son mari, mais Philippe Dengain, engagé pour résoudre l'énigme, allait apprendre à ses dépens qu'une veuve pouvait en cacher une autre. Des toits de Paris aux palaces Londonien, de l'île de Jersey à la pointe du Raz, le détective aura fort à faire pour surnager dans une sale histoire orchestré par des individus peu recommandable, sur le rythme débridé des trois temps d'une valse pour truands...

Shamanism, Colonialism, and the Wild Man

Shamanism, Colonialism, and the Wild Man

Autor: Michael Taussig

Número de Páginas: 538

Working with the image of the Indian shaman as Wild Man, Taussig reveals not the magic of the shaman but that of the politicizing fictions creating the effect of the real. "This extraordinary book . . . will encourage ever more critical and creative explorations."—Fernando Coronil, [I]American Journal of Sociology[/I] "Taussig has brought a formidable collection of data from arcane literary, journalistic, and biographical sources to bear on . . . questions of evil, torture, and politically institutionalized hatred and terror. His intent is laudable, and much of the book is brilliant, both in its discovery of how particular people perpetrated evil and others interpreted it."—Stehen G. Bunker, Social Science Quarterly

How Forests Think

How Forests Think

Autor: Eduardo Kohn

Número de Páginas: 282

Can forests think? Do dogs dream? In this astonishing book, Eduardo Kohn challenges the very foundations of anthropology, calling into question our central assumptions about what it means to be human—and thus distinct from all other life forms. Based on four years of fieldwork among the Runa of Ecuador’s Upper Amazon, Eduardo Kohn draws on his rich ethnography to explore how Amazonians interact with the many creatures that inhabit one of the world’s most complex ecosystems. Whether or not we recognize it, our anthropological tools hinge on those capacities that make us distinctly human. However, when we turn our ethnographic attention to how we relate to other kinds of beings, these tools (which have the effect of divorcing us from the rest of the world) break down. How Forests Think seizes on this breakdown as an opportunity. Avoiding reductionistic solutions, and without losing sight of how our lives and those of others are caught up in the moral webs we humans spin, this book skillfully fashions new kinds of conceptual tools from the strange and unexpected properties of the living world itself. In this groundbreaking work, Kohn takes anthropology in a new and exciting...

Interpretive Social Science

Autor: Paul Rabinow , William M. Sullivan

Número de Páginas: 408

This is a new edition of the well-received Interpretive Social Science (California, 1979), in which Paul Rabinow and William M. Sullivan predicted the increasing use of an interpretive approach in the social sciences, one that would replace a model based on the natural sciences.
