E-book Field Station Bahia

E-book The Politics of Reproduction : Adoption, Abortion, and Surrogacy in th…

These three alarming vignettes might appear, on one level, to reflect quite dif-ferent concerns: abortion, surrogacy, and adoption.

E-book How Is It Between Us? : Relational Ethics and Care for the World

“How is it between us?” is the question I would like to consider as the most fundamental of all ethical questions.

E-book Why We Play : An Anthropological Study

Always contextualize. Always historicize. Always focus on the particular and the specific. These have become basic mantras in cultural anthropology, as well as the humanities in general. And with these mantras have come a deep suspi-cion of wide-ranging comparative studies, and in particular a deep suspicion of the general categories that undergird such comparative work. Terms like myt…

E-book Boundary Struggles : Contestations of Free Speech in the Norwegian Pub…

Freedom of speech is a fundamental human right and conside-red a core value in liberal democracies.

In this book we depart from conventional approaches to fr…

E-book Hidden Depths : The Origins of Human Connection

However, like humans they form pair bonds, and collaborate in childcare…

E-book What People Leave Behind : Marks, Traces, Footprints and their Relevan…

Sure, paleontologist and historians can make a virtue out of necessity (see, e.g.,Muir,1991; Zemon Davis,2010:5–6; Peltonen,2012; Bassi,2016), but the com-monsensical assumption is that immediate observation and interrogation of phenom-ena in their entirety are preferable—time travel would be more effective.1However,the recourse to traces is getting more frequent not only for studying the h…

E-book Eating in The City : Socio-anthropological Perspectives from Africa, L…

Algeria’s high petroleum revenues1 in the 2000s prompted massive food imports in a highly EU-dependent socioeconomic and political setting. The rapid changes in food consumption patterns that occurred in Algeria during this prosperous period partially involved greater sugar and fat intake to the detriment of vegetable proteins (Chikhi and Padella, 2014). They also reflect the polit…

E-book A Sensory Education

There is also certainly a very specific market, of those who are addressed in the marketing of sensory education tools, with a rather limited inclusivity entailed in many of the workshops, books and programs I found, whether through targeted groups or representation in advertisement. As I delve into throughout the book, sensory education is often seen as an antidote to dig-ital maximalism, wh…
