Download or read book Gone Primitive written by Marianna Torgovnick and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this acclaimed book, Torgovnick explores the obsessions, fears, and longings that have produced Western views of the primitive. Crossing an extraordinary range of fields (anthropology, psychology, literature, art, and popular culture),Gone Primitivewill engage not just specialists but anyone who has ever worn Native American jewelry, thrilled to Indiana Jones, or considered buying an African mask. "A superb book; and--in a way that goes beyond what being good as a book usually implies--it is a kind of gift to its own culture, a guide to the perplexed. It is lucid, usually fair, laced with a certain feminist mockery and animated by some surprising sympathies."--Arthur C. Danto, New York Times Book Review "An impassioned exploration of the deep waters beneath Western primitivism. . . . Torgovnick's readings are deliberately, rewardingly provocative."--Scott L. Malcomson,Voice Literary Supplement

Download or read book One Hundred Years of Argonauts written by Chris Hann and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2024-06-01 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Malinowski’s Argonauts of the Western Pacific was a major contribution to anthropological theory and method, while simultaneously establishing the sub-field of economic anthropology. Even a century after its publication, Malinowski’s pioneering work remains critical for anthropology in a postcolonial age. This volume uses ethnographic studies from around the world to contextualize the work politically and intellectually, examining its gestation and influence from multiple perspectives. It critically explores the meaning of “economy” for Malinowski from his formation in the Austro-Hungarian Empire to his path-breaking fieldwork in Melanesia and ensuing career in London.

Download or read book The Primitive Mind and Modern Man written by John Alan Cohan and published by Bentham Science Publishers. This book was released on 2010-12-30 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is in the field of trans-cultural psychology, and is intended for college courses in anthropology and psychology, and general readership. the book focuses on intriguing facts about primitive cultures around the world, and provides insights into living traditions and different world views. a principal theme of the book is that we can gain a better understanding of ourselves by a "detour" to other cultures. the book shows how modern ways of thinking are parallel to those of primitive cultures, and engages readers to become more aware of who they are. As shown throughout the book, there is not, after all, a very wide gulf between primitive and modern cultures. the book covers many topics including animism, shamanism, totemism, hunting and cultivation rituals, altered states of consciousness, envy and the evil eye, how people deal with conflicts, potlatches, cargo cults, how people satisfy the need for social approval, culture-bound syndromes, folk medicine, treatment of women, raising of children, nomadic peoples, treatment of the dead, and other topics.

Download or read book In Search of the Primitive written by Stanley Diamond and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-06-21 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthropology is a kind of debate between human possibilities—a dialectical movement between the anthropologist as a modern man and the primitive peoples he studies. In Search of the Primitive is a tough-minded book containing chapters ranging from encounters in the field to essays on the nature of law, schizophrenia and civilization, and the evolution of the work of Claude Lévi-Strauss. Above all it is reflective and self-critical, critical of the discipline of anthropology and of the civilization that produced that discipline. Diamond views the anthropologist who refuses to become a searching critic of his own civilizations as not merely irresponsible, but a tool of Western civilization. He rejects the associations which have been made in the ideology of our civilization, consciously or unconsciously, between Western dominance and progress, imperialism and evolution, evolution and progress.

Download or read book Inventing the American Primitive written by Helen Carr and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 1996-07 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carr (English, U. of London) examines literary and anthropological writings that describe, inscribe, translate, and transform Native American myths and poetry to conform with mainstream American society's conception of the primitive. She draws on post-colonial and feminist theory and the recent textual turn of ethnography. The story she finds is taut with the contradiction of trying to preserve a culture while ruthlessly destroying it. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
