Paperback. Condition: New. Over the past two decades, "chaos theory" - the perception of order previously hidden in phenomena of apparent randomness and disorder - has fundamentally transformed the natural sciences. In recent years, numerous scholars in the social sciences and humanities have attempted to adapt the insights of c…haos theory to their studies of human cultural and social systems. Several of the world's leading anthropologists, such as Roy Wagner, Marshall Sahlins, Marilyn Strathern, and Arjun Appadurai - have similarly drawn upon particular elements of chaos theory for their inspiration, but as yet there is no focused, comprehensive treatment of the applicability of chaos theory to anthropology's distinctive ethnographic and cross-cultural materials. This edited volume fills the gap, with both accessible theoretical discussions of chaos theory applications in anthropology and detailed ethnographic and historical illustrations from Africa and Melanesia.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Bronislaw Malinowskis path-breaking research in the Trobriand Islands shaped much of modern anthropologys disciplinary paradigm. Yet many conundrums remain. For example, Malinowski asserted that baloma spirits of the dead were responsible for procreation but had limited influence on their li…ving descendants in magic and other matters, claims largely unchallenged by subsequent field investigators, until now. Based on extended fieldwork at Omarakana villagehome of the Tabalu Paramount ChiefMark S. Mosko argues instead that these and virtually all contexts of indigenous sociality are conceived as sacrificial reciprocities between the mirror worlds that baloma and humans inhabit. Informed by a synthesis of Stratherns model of dividual personhood and Levy-Bruhls theory of participation, Mosko upends a century of discussion and debate extending from Malinowski to anthropologys other leading thinkers. His account of the intimate interdependencies of humans and spirits in the cosmic generation and coordination of life (momova) and death (kaliga) strikes at the nexus of anthropologys received wisdom, and Ways of Baloma will inevitably lead practitioners and students to reflect anew on the disciplines multifold theories of personhood, ritual agency, and sociality.

"Through a sequence of theoretically stimulating and ethnographically diverse contributions, the volume engages with 'chaos models' developed by mathematicians and natural scientists studying complex dynamic systems." A Anthropological Forum "I have rarely seen such an excellent collection of articles. And it cannot be more timely. Within the covers of this volume we find some of the most original and brightest minds in anthropology today.this is a truly unique volume that will make a major and original contribution to anthropology and far beyond."
