When this work - one that contributes to both the history and
anthropology fields - first appeared in 1982, it was hailed as a
landmark study of the role of folklore in nation-building. It has
since been highly influential in reshaping the analysis of Greek
and European cultural dynamics. In this expanded edition, a new
introduction by the author and an epilogue by Sharon Macdonald
document its importance for the emergence of serious
anthropological interest in European culture and society and for
current debates about Greece's often contested place in the complex
politics of the European Union.
This volume includes the abridged New York stage version of
Hocchuth's controversial The Deputy, which is about Pope Pius XII's
failure to speak out against Nazi atrocities; In the Case of J.
Robert Oppenheimer by Kipphardt; and two plays by Mnller:
Hamletmachine and Manser.>
Technology is an integral part our world. But how does inter-human
technology affect our ability to be present to one another, to God,
to ourselves, and to the world around us? Modern technologies are
reshaping human relationships. While they offer new possibilities
for presence across time and space, they also function as either a
substitute for human relationships or as a filter that mediates
relationships between ourselves and others. In our technologically
saturated world, it is vital that we become aware of how these
technologies alter our perceptions, our actions, and our
relationships. Religious and Cultural Implications of
Technology-Mediated Relationships in a Post Pandemic World offers a
variety of positions on how technology is influencing religious
communal and cultural life. There is no doubt that our interaction
with technology will shape the human community up ahead. These
essays provide a basis for thoughtful choice and action.

Norms and Illegality: Intimate Ethnographies and Politics explores
liminal and illegal practices in relation to political control and
cultural normativity. The contributors draw on years of
ethnographic experiences in Greece, Guatemala, Hong Kong, Italy,
Madagascar, Mali, Philippines, and Thailand to study the
contradictions of what is legal and illegal. They explore the
production of illegal subjects by the state, the creation of
illegal and normative values by liminal and illegal actors, and the
mutual entanglements of legal and illegal in the public domains of
markets and trade networks. This volume shows that criminalization
policies are not necessarily oriented toward erasing crime.
Instead, the contributors maintain that opaque spaces ensure the
efficacy of control and outwardly conform to the rhetoric and
ethics of global neoliberalism. Within these contexts, the
contributors shed light on moral economies and frames of value
entailed in systems of representation that have been set up by
individuals who are deemed illegal, liminal, or deviant in their
confrontations with the state.
In this fascinating book, Michael Herzfeld argues that 'modern'
bureaucratically regulated societies are no more 'rational' or less
'symbolic' than the societies traditionally studied by
anthropologists. Drawing primarily on the example of modern Greece
and utilizing other European materials, he suggests that we cannot
understand national bureaucracies divorced from local-level ideas
about chance, personal character, social relationships and
responsibility. He points out that both formal regulations and
day-to-day bureaucratic practices rely heavily on the symbols and
language of the moral boundaries between insiders and outsiders; a
ready means of expressing prejudice and of justifying neglect. It
therefore happens that societies with proud traditions of generous
hospitality may paradoxically produce at the official level some of
the most calculated indifference one can find anywhere.
In the third edition of this important and influential book,
Michael Herzfeld revisits the idea of 'cultural intimacy'. The
chapters examine a range of topics touching on the relationship
between state and citizen, and the notion of 'national character'.
Herzfeld provides a developed theoretical framework and additional
clarification of core concepts such as disemia, social poetics and
structural nostalgia. The text has been fully updated in light of
recent scholarship and events, including comment on Greece and the
European Union. There is new material drawn from regions such as
Thailand and China, and further consideration of religious intimacy
and its impact on cities. The book improves our understanding of
how states, societies and institutions function and illustrates the
relevance of anthropology to contemporary issues such as
globalization, censorship, ethnic conflict and nationalism.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
First published in 1900, this Reader uses four manuscripts from the
British Museum and Corpus Christi College Cambridge to present a
thorough introduction along with a dual-language edition of the
text. The original manuscripts, as Herzfeld demonstrates, are of
varying qualities and comprise of the Anglian, West Saxon, Kentish
and Mercian dialects. The re-edited text is presented alongside
historical remarks, criticism of the manuscript, the text's
ultimate date and place of origin and an exploration of its
potential sources.

A collection of ethnographic case studies of urban planners and
their practices Urban planners project the future of cities. As
experts, they draft visions of places and times that do not yet
exist, prescribing the tools to be used to achieve those visions.
Their choices can determine how a city will merge its public
transit and automobile traffic or how it will meet a demand for
thousands of new dwelling units as quickly and with as little
avoidable damage as possible. Life Among Urban Planners considers
planning professionals in relation to the social contexts in which
they operate: the planning office, the construction site, and even
in the confrontations with those affected by their work. What roles
do planners have in shaping the daily practices of urban life? How
do they employ, manipulate, and alter their expertise to meet the
demands asked of them? The essays in this volume emphasize
planners' cultural values and personal assumptions and critically
examine what their persistent commitment to thinking about the
future means for the ways in which people live in the present and
preserve the past. Life Among Urban Planners explores the practices
and politics of professional city-making in a wide selection of
geographical areas spanning five continents. Cases include but are
not limited to Bangkok, Bogota, Chicago, Naimey, Rome, Siem Reap,
Stockholm, and Warsaw. Examining the issues raised around questions
of expertise, participation, and the tension between market and
state forces, contributors demonstrate how certain planning
practices accentuate their specific relationship to a place while
others are represented to a global audience as potentially
universal solutions. In presenting detailed and intimate portraits
of the everyday lives of planners, the volume offers key insights
into how the city interacts with the world. Contributors: Margaret
