Anthropologies of Revolution

CC BY

What can anthropological thinking contribute to the study of revolutions? The first book-length anthropological approach to revolutions, Anthropologies of Revolution proposes that revolutions should be seen as concerted attempts to radically reconstitute the worlds people inhabit. Viewing revolutions as all-embracing, world-creating projects, the authors ask readers to move beyond the idea of revolutions as acts of violent political rupture, and instead regard them as processes of societal transformation that penetrate deeply into the fabric of people’s lives, unfolding and refolding the coordinates of human existence. “With insightful references to cases around the world, this book advances a brilliant holistic theory that offers credibility and significance to the ways revolutions unfold in culturally specific practices without diminishing their political impact and universal aspirations.” Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi, author of Foucault in Iran: Islamic Revolution after the Enlightenment “This fascinating volume opens up new horizons in the study of revolutionary practice. It is difficult to imagine a more important or original work.” David Nugent, author of The Encrypted State: Delusion and Displacement in the Peruvian Andes “This book is a truly original (in all senses of the term) contribution to understanding the global and human condition of far-reaching political, social, and cosmological change.” Bjørn Enge Bertelsen, author of Violent Becomings: State Formation, Sociality, and Power in Mozambique Igor Cherstich is Teaching Fellow in Social Anthropology at University College London. He is coeditor of the special issue “The Multiple Narratives of the Libyan Revolution,” Middle East Critique. Martin Holbraad is Professor of Social Anthropology at University College London. He is author of Truth in Motion: The Recursive Anthropology of Cuban Divination and coauthor of The Ontological Turn: An Anthropological Exposition. Nico Tassi is Research Associate at the Universidad Mayor de San Andrés in La Paz, Bolivia, and author of The Native World System: An Ethnography of Bolivian Aymara Traders in the Global Economy.

Film as Embodied Art

CC BY-NC

How do the visuals of Kubrick’s work convey complex concepts and abstractions without the traditional reliance on words? And how does the pure instrumental music in his films express meaning when music, in essence, is an abstract art form? Drawing on state-of-the-art research in embodied cognitive science, this book sets out to explore these questions by revealing Kubrick as a genuine conceptual artist, a filmmaker who perhaps more than any other director, uses all the non-verbal resources of filmmaking in such a controlled and dense manner as to elicit the bodily structures necessary to achieve a level of conceptual understanding.This book is made open access as part of the Knowledge Unlatched KU Select 2018: HSS Frontlist Books

What’s fappening?

CC BY-NC-ND

»What’s fappening?«, fragt Hanna Rose – eine Anspielung auf den Neologismus fap, der auf zumeist humoristischen Internet-Plattformen als lautmalerischer Ausdruck für Selbstbefriedigung verbreitet wird. Der Begriff steht hier sinnbildlich für die Entpathologisierung der Selbstbefriedigung in der Spätmoderne: Einstmals verpönt und als krankhaft angesehen, gilt sie nun als wichtiger Bestandteil sexueller Gesundheit.Ausgehend von historischen Diskursen, modernen Entwicklungen und Forschungsergebnissen widmet sich die Autorin der Untersuchung qualitativer Interviews mit Männern und Frauen über ihre Masturbationsbiografie. Im Fokus steht damit die Frage nach der konkreten Einbettung in das (Sexual-)Leben und dem subjektiven Erleben von Selbstbefriedigung, die aus soziologischer und sexualwissenschaftlicher Perspektive bisher nur selten als eigenständiger Forschungsgegenstand behandelt wurde.
