    1.379,95 kr.

    Self-sufficiency of the house is practiced in many parts of the world but ignored in economic theory, just as socialist collectivization is assumed to have brought household self-sufficiency to an end.

  • - Studies of Postsocialist Transformations
     
    1.380,95 kr.

    Common sense suggests that rituals drain economic wealth & that rational actions are antithetical to rituals. These 6 studies offer a different vision.

  • - Precarity, Class, and the Neoliberal Subject
     
    443,95 kr.

    Bringing together ethnographic case studies of industrial labor from different parts of the world, Industrial Labor on the Margins of Capitalism explores the increasing casualization of workforces and the weakening power of organized labor. This division owes much to state policies and is reflected in local understandings of class. By exploring this relationship, these essays question the claim that neoliberal ideology has become the new ''commonsense'' of our times and suggest various propositions about the conditions that create employment regimes based on flexible labor.

  • - From Domestic to Political Economy
     
    1.381,95 kr.

    Through a wide range of ethnographic contexts this book explores how practices and moralities of thrift are intertwined with austerity, debt, welfare, and patronage across various social and temporal scales and are constantly re-negotiated at the nexus of socio-economic, religious, and kinship ideals and praxis.

  • af Daniela Ana
    340,95 - 1.382,95 kr.

    Based on ethnographic work in a Moldovan winemaking village, Wine Is Our Bread shows how workers in a prestigious winery have experienced the country's recent entry into the globalized wine market and how their productive activities at home and in the winery contribute to the value of commercial terroir wines. Drawing on theories of globalization, economic anthropology and political economy, the book contributes to understanding how crises and inequalities in capitalism lead to the 'creative destruction' of local products, their accelerated standardization and the increased exploitation of labour.

  • af Chris Hann & Don Kalb

  • af Lale Yalç¿n-Heckmann
    230,95 kr.

    The idea of a moral economy has been explored and assessed in numerous disciplines. The anthropological studies in this volume provide a new perspective to this idea by showing how the relations of workers, employees and employers, and of firms, families and households are interwoven with local notions of moralities. From concepts of individual autonomy, kinship obligations, to ways of expressing mutuality or creativity, moral values exert an unrealized influence, and these often produce more consent than resistance or outrage.
