Social Anthropology

Et si nous nous étions fourvoyés sur ce que fut l’homme de Néandertal ? Dans un véritable récit de voyage, Ludovic Slimak retrace son parcours de chercheur et nous entraîne dans une étonnante enquête archéologique. Pendant trente ans, il a inlassablement traqué ce qu’il appelle la créature.

Grâce aux progrès de la science (archéologie, ADN...), les fantasmes ne sont plus de mise pour traiter de la Préhistoire. La vie quotidienne, les croyances, le régime alimentaire, la sexualité, les rites funéraires... de nos ancêtres n'ont pratiquement plus de secrets. Notre regard sur nos lointains ancêtres change. Finie la créature hirsute grognant dans sa peau de bête du fond d'une caverne.

In seinen Aufsätzen Ausführung der Dreigliederung des sozialen Organismus aus den Jahren 1919/20 reagierte Steiner, wie schon in seinen "Kernpunkten der sozialen Frage", auf die Krise des modernen Bewusstseins, die in den gesellschaftlichen Konflikten des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts sowie im Ersten Weltkrieg ihren destruktiven Ausdruck gefunden hat. Er schlägt einen spirituell begründeten Ansatz zur Lösung der sozialen Frage vor, der als ein dritter Weg zwischen Sozialismus und Kapitalismus verstanden werden kann.

At its core, American Disgust wrestles with how changing cultural notions of digestion-what goes into the body and what comes out of it-create and impose racial categories motivated by feelings of disgust rooted in American settler-colonial racism. It shows how disgust is a changing, yet fundamental, aspect of American subjectivity and that engaging with it-personally, politically, and theoretically-opens up possibilities for conceptualizing health at the individual, societal, and planetary levels.

Pfeffer has chronicled this journey into an uproarious and riveting blueprint specific to discovering a "Hanged Man" inside each of us.

In this fascinating book, Terry O'Connor explores a distinction that is deeply ingrained in much of the language that we use in zoology, human-animal studies, and archaeology - the difference between wild and domestic. For thousands of years, humans have categorized animals in simple terms, often according to the degree of control that we have over them, and have tended to see the long story of human-animal relations as one of increasing control and management for human benefit.

Il nostro mondo è fondato sul lavoro. Non solo esso garantisce la produzione e il consumo di beni e servizi più o meno essenziali, non solo è parte fondante della retorica politica, non solo occupa buona parte del nostro tempo. No. Il lavoro ci definisce come esseri umani, circoscrive le nostre aspirazioni e i nostri sogni, definisce le nostre abitudini, i nostri valori, il nostro benessere (o malessere) fisico e mentale. Ma non è sempre stato così, anzi, James Suzman dimostra che i nostri antenati cacciatori-raccoglitori lavoravano molto meno di noi.
