Mind, Materiality and History

Explorations in Fijian Ethnography

By: Christina Toren

How do we become who we are? How is it that people are so similar in the ways they differ from one another, and so different in the ways they are the same? Christina Toren's theory of mind as not only a physical phenomenon, but an historical one, sets out to answer these questions by examining how the material world of objects and other people informs the constitution of mind in persons over time. This theory of embodied mind as a microhistorical process is set out in the first chapter, providing a context for the nine papers that follow. Questions explored include the way meaning-making processes reference an historically specific world and are responsible at once for continuity and change, how ritual informs children's constitution of the categories adults use to describe the world, and how people represent their relationships with one another and in so doing come to embody history. Mind, Materiality and History has direct relevance to current debates on the nature of mind and consciousness, and demonstrates the centrality of the study of children to social analysis. It will be a valuable resource for students and scholars with an interest in anthropological theory and methodology, as well as those engaged in material culture studies.

By: Christina Bauer

Erleben Sie die Ereignisse von Angelbound aus der Perspektive von Prinz Lincoln in diesem exklusiven Zwei-Bücher-Bundle! DUTY BOUND Als Kronprinz der dämonenbekämpfenden Thrax weiß Lincoln, dass er aus politischen Gründen heiraten muss. Nicht, dass es ihm etwas ausmacht. In all seinen achtzehn Jahren war Lincoln an seine Pflicht gebunden. Dann erblickt der Prinz Myla, ein Mädchen, das nicht nur perfekt zu ihm passt, sondern auch eine Halb-Dämonen-Kriegerin ist. Damit ändert sich alles. Was passiert, wenn eine Frau, die man noch nie getroffen hat, das eigene Leben komplett auf den Kopf stellt? Lincoln ist dabei, es herauszufinden. PRINZ LINCOLN Wenn es ums Kämpfen geht, ist Prinz Lincoln der größte Dämonentöter in der Geschichte seines Volkes, der Thrax. Jetzt steht Lincoln vor seinem bisher härtesten Kampf, und zwar nicht auf einem traditionellen Schlachtfeld. Und das alles, weil etwas Unerwartetes passiert ist… Der Halb-Engel-Prinz hat sich in ein Quasi-Dämonen-Mädchen verliebt. Nicht leicht. Das Problem ist, dass Lincolns Volk jeden Dämon als Feind ansieht, der gejagt wird. Traurigerweise wird das Mädchen, das Lincolns Herz gestohlen hat, eine Quasi-Dämonin namens Myla Lewis, bald zum Ziel Nummer eins von Lincolns eigener Streitmacht. Das ist etwas, was der Kronprinz der Thrax nicht dulden wird. Ganz und gar nicht. Egal was passiert, Lincoln wird seine Myla beschützen. Angelbound Buchreihe 1.

Screening the Red Army Faction

Historical and Cultural Memory

By: Christina Gerhardt

Screening the Red Army Faction: Historical and Cultural Memory explores representations of the Red Army Faction (RAF) in print media, film and art, locating an analysis of these texts in the historical and political context of unfolding events. In this way, the book contributes both a new history and a new cultural history of post-fascist era West Germany that grapples with the fledgling republic's most pivotal debates about the nature of democracy and authority; about violence, its motivations and regulation; and about its cultural afterlife. Looking back at the history of representations of the RAF in various media, this book considers how our understanding of the Cold War era, of the long sixties and of the RAF is created and re-created through cultural texts.

Secular Stagnation Theories

Secular Stagnation Theories

A Historical and Contemporary Analysis with a Focus on the Distribution of Income

By: Christina Anselmann

In light of weak economic performances and rising income disparities across the developed world during the past decades, this book provides a comprehensive overview of secular stagnation theories in the history of economic thought and examines the role of income distribution in various stagnation hypotheses. By offering a historical perspective, from the classical economists to the most recent stagnation debate of the early twenty-first century, the author shows that most stagnation theories were developed in periods of high and/or rising income disparities. Eventually, it was Josef Steindl, one of the least recognized stagnationists in the history of economic thought, who put the distribution of income at the heart of his stagnation theory. While Josef Steindl focused on the nexus between the functional distribution of income and economic growth, this book includes the personal distribution of income in a Kaleckian-Steindlian model of economic growth and stagnation. In the model presented, the nexus between economic growth and the distribution of income is a priori uncertain, depending on the type of economic shock and the specific economic circumstances. The author also discusses various empirically oriented policy implications aimed at fostering both economic growth and a more equal distribution of income. This book appeals to scholars in economics and the history of economic thought interested in economic growth, secular stagnation, and income distribution.
