Paperback. Zustand: Good. What does civilization mean to the inhabitants of a Serbian town after yet another bloody war on the Balkan Peninsula? How was it possible that people who had been friends and neighbors for so long ended up killing each other? And how do they deal with this barbarity in the post-war period? The figure of the gypsy, who often appears in Serbian popular culture, has always been invested with the mysterious power to unveil the mendacious undertones in the program of civilization. Wherever he appears - in jokes, songs, tales, literature, or movies - the civilized order is unmasked. This motif can be seen most dramatically in bars and taverns, where gypsy musicians lead their Serbian customers in veritable celebrations of unreason. 'This is real,' Serbs say about these gatherings where the canons of propriety and civilized behavior are overthrown with obvious relish. 'This is life.' The author, who spent several months in Serbia investigating these wild meetings, relates the 'unreason' of the behaviour in these bars to the atrocities committed during the war which broke out during his stay. Highlighting how the program of civilization brings with it the need to construct an image of humankind more compatible with the lessons of history, Gypsies, Wars and Other Instances of the Wild may be read as a case-study of how war-infested societies cope with wartime traumas. Cover has been coated in protective plastic laminate. A book plate and sticker from a previous owner and retailer are adhered to page one. Light spotting on page one. 350 pages.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - For over a hundred years, writers, artists, anthropologists and tourists have travelled to Bahia, Brazil, in search of the spirit possession cult called Candomble. Thus, successive generations of cultists have seen a long, steady stream of curious outsiders coming to their temples with not Elektronisches Buch and cameras, questions and inquisitive gazes, or ogling eyes and the hope of inclusion. This study asks what seduced these outsiders to seek access to the Afro-Brazilian religious universe and, conversely, how did cultists respond to the overwhelming interest in their creed and to becoming an object of the outsiders' imaginations.'Thriving in the gap between the sensuous fullness of life and the impossibility of its cultural representation, 'Ecstatic Encounters' opens mind-blowing vistas for 'writing culture' in anthropology today.'-- Birgit Meyer, Free University of Amsterdam.
