内容説明
Ghosts of Memory provides an overview of literature on relatedness and memory and then moves beyond traditional approaches to the subject, exploring the subtle and complex intersections between everyday forms of relatedness in the present and memories of the past.
- Explores how various subjects are located in personal and familial histories that connect to the wider political formations of which they are a part
- Closely examines diverse and intriguing case studies, e.g. Catholic residents of a decayed railway colony in Bengal, and sex workers in London
- Brings together original essays authored by contemporary experts in the field
- Draws on anthropology, literature, memory studies, and social history

Semantic Kinship Theory at its Best
2011/5/23
形式:ペーパーバック|Amazonが確認した購入
Janet Carsten is one of the leading kinship theorists of our time, and for me at least, one of the best. Carsten's interest is in the meaning that underlies kinship structures, and understanding these semantic systems from within the cultural worldview (or emic) of the people studied. In the present volume, Carsten collects thought-provoking and well-written essays by herself and and nine other scholars. The essays share a thematic focus on the ways in which memory influences meaning and relatedness, and range in subject matter from adoption narratives in Scotland to displaced Muslims in Sri Lanka and HIV/AIDS patients in urban North America. Ghosts of Memory is a must for any student of contemporary kinship theory.
