Embodying Modernity And Post-Modernity: Ritual, Praxis And Social Change in Melanesia (CAROLINA ACADEMIC PRESS RITUAL STUDIES MONOGRAPHS) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

North American and European anthropologists explore the relationship between ritual, embodiment, and social change in the South Pacific, where over the past few decades societies of Melanesia have encountered colonialism, post-colonialism, globalization, state formation, late capitalist culture, and transnational identities. They suspect that the encounters may have had an impact on embodied experience there. Their perspectives include the demise of discipline, decaying bodies, unholy noses, family planning, and self-decoration. No index is provided.
