Novel Approaches to Anthropology
Author: Marilyn Cohen
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 0739175033
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
This volume of interdisciplinary essays reflect current contributions to literary anthropology. Novel Approaches to Anthropology: Contributions to Literary Anthropology showcases the myriad ways that anthropologists bring their disciplinary perspectives, theories, concepts, and pedagogical strategies to interpreting fiction and travel writing written in the past and present. The authors integrate insights from the reflexive deconstructive turn in anthropology and from critical Marxist and feminist approaches that ground interpretation in the political, economic, and social constraints and experiences of everyday life. The contributors share the view that fiction, like all artistic expression, is rooted in specific historical and cultural contexts. Literature, like all artistic expression, stimulates a critical imagination by allowing readers to take a fresh look at their own society and culture.

Antique Densities
Author: Jefferson Navicky
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781736847725
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 104
Book Description
Fiction. Poetry. Jefferson Navicky's ANTIQUE DENSITIES:MODERN PARABLES & OTHER EXPERIMENTS IN SHORT PROSE flickers between the surreal and the recognizable, entering into dialogue with elders of influence to imagine a way into connection. Somewhere between poetry and short fiction, these modern parables put a reader in touch with a diverse array of characters from Justin Bieber to Jorge Luis Borges. "ANTIQUE DENSITIES is a joyful counterspell to the curse of disenchantment, a long, beautiful string of unforeseeable sentences."--Kristen Case "ANTIQUE DENSITIES is a wild story-map of glowing imaginations, surreal hallucinations and timeless contemplations. There's a dream-sequence to these winding narratives, one that reveals itself in layers of strange and beautiful meaning. In creating this collection, Jefferson Navicky has done that magical thing that so many writers and artists fear: he's let his deepest literary influences wander rampant through the pasture of his consciousness, and the result is a stunning alchemy of authenticity and homage."--Jaed Coffin

Matters of the Heart
Author: Fay Bound Alberti
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 019160917X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
The heart is the most symbolic organ of the human body. Across cultures it is seen as the site of emotions, as well as the origin of life. We feel emotions in the heart, from the heart-stopping sensation of romantic love to the crushing sensation of despair. And yet since the nineteenth century the heart has been redefined in medical terms as a pump, an organ responsible for the circulation of the blood. Emotions have been removed from the heart as an active site of influence and towards the brain. It is the brain that is the organ most commonly associated with emotion in the modern West. So why, then, do the emotional meanings of the heart linger? Why do many transplantation patients believe that the heart, for instance, can transmit memories and emotions and why do we still refer to emotions as 'heartfelt'? We cannot answer these questions without reference to the history of the heart as both physical organ and emotional symbol. Matters of the Heart traces the ways emotions have been understood between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries as both physical entities and spiritual experiences. With reference to historical interpretations of such key concepts as gender, emotion, subjectivity and the self, it also addresses the shifting relationship from heart to brain as competing centres of emotion in the West..
