Book Description
In this powerful new work, Simone Toji reconsiders ethnography as a form of appreciation of the contradictions inherent in the making of life itself. Recovering Bronislaw Malinowski’s idea of the “imponderabilia of actual life” as an inspiring ethnographic attitude, she shows how lives are composed through moments of indecision, opacity, and incongruity that make them irreducibly open ended. The singular lives of four migrants, from Paraguay, South Korea, and Bolivia, are rendered as journeys across the city of São Paulo, interspersed with resonant explorations of the power of life’s invention and reinvention as part of the human condition. This important new book is a major contribution to migration studies, social and cultural anthropology, and the social sciences as a whole, and will appeal to readers from the undergraduate level through the doctoral.

Book Description
One of the most significant philosophical voices of the twentieth century – the philosopher of ‘the Other’ – Emmanuel Levinas’ work offers a challenge to the discipline of anthropology that claims knowledge of the human. For Levinas, the ‘secrecy’ of subjectivity – a fundamental facet of the human condition – demands an ethics of ignorance and not-knowing; the mystery of otherness is only to be approached through ‘inspiration’. Can anthropology meet a Levinasian challenge if it would define itself as a science as well as a humanistic documentation of social life? This book endeavours to take Levinasian and anthropological precepts equally seriously and offers a tentative accommodation.

Book Description
Dear readers and poetry lovers, It is with great emotion and enthusiasm that I share with you my latest work, a deep dive into the universe of words and feelings. This book of poetry is an intimate journey through the nuances of life, where each verse is an echo of the heart, each stanza is a sigh of the soul. Symphony of 100 Poems Synopsis: In these pages, I sought to capture the ephemerality of love, the melancholy of longing, the bravery of hope and the mysteries that weave the web of existence. Each poem is a painting of emotions, an invitation to reflect on the wonders and challenges that permeate our journey. What to Expect: Feel free to explore the pages of this book like diving into an ocean of words. Each poem is a bridge between the tangible and the ephemeral, an attempt to express the indescribable beauty of human emotions. Dear readers, It is with immense gratitude and joy that I dedicate these words to you, who kindly embarked on this poetic journey with me. Creating this book was an experience of profound meaning, and it could not have been possible without the support and inspiration of so many incredible people. First of all, I would like to thank my family for their patience, unconditional love and constant encouragement. To the friendships that brightened my days with laughter, understanding and support, my sincere thanks. To those who shared their stories, feelings and experiences, you are the true essence of these poems. To the dedicated team who made this book a reality, from editors to designers, I thank you for transforming loose words into a tangible work. To the mentors who guided my literary path, my deepest gratitude. And, finally, to you, dear readers, for allowing these poems to touch your hearts. May this book be more than words on paper, but a meaningful echo in your lives. With all my love and gratitude, Fernando Kfer

Book Description
In conversation, and in the company of a new generation of scholars working in the field, Nigel Rapport and Huon Wardle re-explore the terrain and meaning of cosmopolitan studies now. This book offers a new survey and theorisation of cosmopolitan research, a burgeoning topic responding to increasingly complex patterns of human interaction in world society. It considers the question of cosmopolitan methodology: What are the methods needed for, or elicited by, studying cosmopolitan situations? And how are we to remain faithful to the heteronomous human interiority and intentionality from which cosmopolitan moments are constructed? The volume focuses on the open-ended moment of ethnographic fieldwork that generates the concepts and methods needed to understand contemporary cosmopolitanisation. The chapters cover a wide range of ethnographic situations and open up debate on what are the opportunities and responsibilities of a cosmopolitan anthropology in its exploration of human difference and commonality.

Book Description
This book, by one of the most innovative and challenging contemporary thinkers, rethinks community and the very idea of the social. Nancy's fundamental argument is that being is always "being with," that "I" is not prior to "we," that existence is essentially co-existence.

Book Description
This handbook is the first reference work to explore and define what continental philosophy of education is or could be, and what its boundaries are, serving as a point of entry for those who need an overview of the ideas in the field. The book includes 34 chapters written by leading scholars based in Belgium, Canada, China, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, New Zealand, Sweden, Taiwan, the UK and the USA. It is subdivided into three sections covering the metaphysics, ethics and aesthetics of education and the chapters focus on philosophical concepts such as otherness, empathy and personhood and problems including political influences on education and the limits of education. The contributors discuss a range of continental thinkers and look at how their work has influenced the wider field of philosophy of education.
