Hardcover. Zustand: New. In 1927, when Irawati Karve, aged twenty-two, arrived in Berlin to do her doctoral studies at the Friedrich Wilhelm University, she was faced with a dilemma. As a woman of colour, the subject of her thesis was to prove her supervisor Dr Eugen Fischer's theory of the superiority of the European race over people of colour, based on the measurement of their skulls. After examining 149 'white' skulls from Germany and 'non-white' skulls from German colonies in East Africa, Irawati came to the opposite conclusion: the shape of the human skull did not prove racial superiority. Fischer's theory was later discredited, but at the time, it took courage to present the paper to him and it nearly cost Irawati her PhD. Courage and a pioneering spirit continued to be her hallmarks on her return to India. At a time when such field trips were difficult if not dangerous, she travelled to the Adivasi areas in Coorg, Western Maharashtra, Assam, Kerala and Bihar. Her research resulted in two seminal works, Kinship Organisation in India and Hindu Society. In 1968, she won the Sahitya Akademi Award for her book of essays on the Mahabharata, Yuganta. Irawati's belief that the Mahabharata was not just an epic, but a historical record, earned her some criticism from her peers at the time, but Yuganta remains a classic to this day. As the daughter-in-law of the reformist and feminist thinker, Maharshi Dhondo Karve, adored wife of Dinkar Karve, and privileged daughter of two families her own parents, Ganesh and Bhagirathi Karmarkar, and her adoptive family, R.P. Paranjpye and his wife, SaitaiIrawati's personal life was as rich and colourful as her professional one. In this biography like none other, writer Urmilla Deshpande, Irawati's granddaughter, and academic researcher Thiago Pinto Barbosa, have created an intimate, captivating portrait of Irawati Karve, the anthropologist and philosopher, and Irawati, the woman, wife and mother. As author and Joint Director, JLF, Namita Gokhale says, 'Irawati Karve stood tall with the tallest of her generation. This biography is a beacon for those who want to understand the Indian wayan inspirational story of an iconic figure.'.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The book analyses how racial knowledge has circulated in transnational entanglements, particularly between Germany and India, into the research on human variation in India, racializing the understanding of caste and ethnicity. It focuses on the legacy of Irawati Karve (1905-1970), a Indian anthropologist trained at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Anthropology, Eugenics, and Human Heredity in Berlin, Germany (1927-1930) and a prominent scientist in post-colonial India. Besides a historical analysis of Karve's adaptation of racial approaches to the study of Indian castes, the book applies material-semiotic and ethnographic lenses to examine how her work is taken up today in anthropology and population genetics. By showing how transnational and transcolonial entanglements in race science shape knowledge on human diversity in India, the book offers novel insights to discussions in anthropology, STS, and global history, including the racialization of difference, colonial legacies, and post-colonial sovereignty in science. It contributes to a better understanding of the co-constitution of politics and sciences of human diversity and it argues for a closer attention to inequalities as a way to de-link from the legacies of scientific racism.…

paperback. Sobre a obra Responsabilidade Civil, Gênero e Sexualidades - 1ª Ed - 2024 "A partir da consideração de que a sexualidade é uma característica humana inafastável, evidencia-se a existência de uma enorme gama de situações em que aspectos vinculados ao sexo, gênero, orientação sexual e identidade de gênero estão na base de condutas ensejadoras de responsabilidade civil, razão pela qual tal obra se mostra tão necessária e pertinente, ainda mais nos tempos atuais, sobretudo em razão dos danos sofridos refletirem o espectro de forte discriminação e opressão. Todas as pessoas têm a sua vivência em sociedade tangenciada pelos elementos que lhe são caracterizadores, o que descortina que as dissidências sexuais de forma recorrente suportam diversas situações lesivas que merecem urgente atenção, tanto sob o enfoque das políticas de combate à discriminação quanto à efetiva compensação dos danos injustos sofridos. Não resta dúvida que as lesões aos interesses juridicamente merecedores de tutela adquirem contorno peculiar na medida em que a injustiça alcança não só o dano em si, mas reverbera em uma dimensão coletiva de discriminação e estigma. As ofensas às chamadas minorias sexuais não podem restar incólumes, pois tais grupos vulnerabilizados necessitam, em um Estado Democrático de Direito, de especial atenção sob pena de padecerem de uma realidade que os aparte plenamente de uma vida digna, muitas vezes flertando com uma realidade de segregação e estigma tamanha que os priva do exercício pleno de sua cidadania inclusiva. Trazer a público uma obra com 20 artigos tratando da relação existente entre responsabilidade civil e os elementos da sexualidade (sexo, gênero, orientação sexual e identidade de gênero) é vital não só em razão do conteúdo valioso dos artigos que a compõe, mas também por conferir visibilidade ao tema que muito sofre com as alegações de ausência de legitimidade ante a existência de uma igualdade formal (mas longe de se consolidar como material e substancial), bem como pelo desprezo das pautas das minorias identitárias, tratadas por muitos de forma jocosa e marginalizada".…
