Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Geister, Hexen und andere übernatürliche Akteure spielen in vielen afrikanischen Gesellschaften eine wichtige Rolle bei politischen Prozessen, bei der Aushandlung von Machtstrukturen und bei der Beilegung von Kriegen und Konflikten. Die Autoren analysieren dieses Spannungsfeld zwischen Religion und Politik aus dem Blickwinkel unterschiedlicher wissenschaftlicher Disziplinen. In Fallstudien und in vergleichender Perspektive geraten die afrikanische Lebenswelt und ihr Verständnis von Moderne in den Blick, ohne dass sie durch eurozentrische Paradigmen verfremdet werden.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. When the notion of alternative facts and the alleged dawning of a postfactual world entered public discourse, social anthropologists found themselves in unexpectedly familiar territory. In theirempirical experience, factknowledge accepted as truederives its salience from social mechanisms of legitimization, thereby demonstrating a deep interconnection with power and authority. In thisperspective, fact is a continually contested and volatile social category.Due to the specific histories of their colonial and post-independence experience, African societies offer a particularly broad array of insights into social processes of juxtaposition, opposition, and even outright competition between different postulated authorities. The contributions to the present volume explore the variety of ways in which authority is contested in Southern and Eastern Africa, investigating localized discourses on which institution, what kind of knowledge, or whose expertise is accepted as authoritative, thus highlighting the specificities and pluralities in modern societies. This edited volume engages with larger theoretical questions regarding power and authority in the context of (post)colonial states (neo)traditional authority, claiming space, conflict and (in)justice, and contestations of knowledge. It offers in-depth critical analyses of ethnographic data that put contemporary African phenomena on equal footing with current controversies in North America, Europe, and other global settings.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Every society has its own definition of a normal and an abnormal human condition. For persons living with mental disorders, these concepts have a tremendous impact. This study investigates how the abnormal mind is culturally defined in Mala i, South-Eastern Africa. Based on anthropological techniques such as interviews, participant observation, and archive research, it explores the different social dimensions of mental disorder - e.g. its reflection in traditional dance rituals, in behavioural rules during pregnancy, or in the healing ministry of independent churches. It demonstrates how local explanations of mental disorder - be it witchcraft, an angry ancestor, or the will of God - determine the social acceptance of an affected person's condition. Recent processes of cultural change, however, strengthen the pluralism of Mala ian religious landscape, opening the local debate to an ever wider range of interpretations.; Dissertationsschrift.
