  • - Doing Anthropology after Wittgenstein
    by Veena Das
    £29.49 - 97.99

    Textures of the Ordinary shows how life is marked not only by catastrophic events but also by the soft knife of economic deprivation and the repetitive corrosions and routine violence within everyday life itself. As an alternative to normative ethics, this book develops ordinary ethics as attentiveness to the other and as the ability of small acts of care to stand up to horrific violence.

  • - Anthropology in the Grip of Reality

    An interdisciplinary collaboration that explores what it means to live with concepts, rather than think of them as mere tools for analysis.

    by Vaibhav Saria

    by Tatiana Chudakova

    Mixing Medicines is an ethnography of Russian medicine's attempts to recuperate indigenous therapeutic traditions associated with the state's ethnic and religious minorities.

    by Richard Rechtman

    Living in Death descends into the ordinary life of people who execute hundreds every day, the same way others go to the office. Bringing philosophical sophistication to the ordinary, the book constitutes both an anthropology of mass killers and a challenge to the conditions that make genocide possible.
