Clifford Geertz (1926-2006) war einer der bedeutendsten Kulturanthropologen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Wie wichtig seine Vorstellung von Kultur als sinnstiftendes Bedeutungsgewebe heute noch ist, zeigt die erschütternde Gewalt von Menschen, die befürchten müssen, dass ihr sozio-kulturelles Netz Risse und Löcher bekommt, sie Halt und Orientierung verlieren. Die Geschichte und prekäre Situation der Inuit verdeutlicht diese Zusammenhänge. Barbara Schellhammer verbindet das Geertz'sche Denken mit dessen konkreter Anwendung in Nordkanada und bietet somit neue Perspektiven und Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten - sowohl für die sozialwissenschaftliche Theoriebildung als auch für die besorgniserregende psycho-soziale Lage der Inuit. »Dieses Buch verbindet kulturtheoretische Expertise und konkrete Felderfahrungen zu einer Studie, die durchaus nachdenklich stimmt und interkulturelles Philosophieren sowie postmoderne/ postkoloniale Kulturtheorien mit der Einsicht konfrontiert, dass das Sinn- und Bedeutungssystem von Menschen nicht unbegrenzt belastbar und flexibel ist - was nicht gegen die Möglichkeit gesellschaftlicher Veränderungsprozesse spricht, sehr wohl aber für die Notwendigkeit einer selbstreflexiven Modernisierung und einer selbstkritischen Wissenschaft.« Franz Gmainer-Pranzl, polylog, 37 (2017)

This book explores the question of what it means to be a human being through sustained and original analyses of three important philosophical topics: relativism, skepticism, and naturalism in the social sciences. Kevin Cahill’s approach involves an original employment of historical and ethnographic material that is both conceptual and empirical in order to address relevant philosophical issues. Specifically, while Cahill avoids interpretative debates, he develops an approach to philosophical critique based on Cora Diamond’s and James Conant’s work on the early Wittgenstein. This makes possible the use of a concept of culture that avoids the dogmatism that not only typifies traditional metaphysics but also frequently mars arguments from ordinary language or phenomenology. This is especially crucial for the third part of the book, which involves a cultural-historical critique of the ontology of the self in Stanley Cavell’s work on skepticism. In pursuing this strategy, the book also mounts a novel and timely defense of the interpretivist tradition in the philosophy of the social sciences.Towards a Philosophical Anthropology of Culture will be of interest to researchers working on the philosophy of the social sciences, Wittgenstein, and philosophical anthropology.

This collection of essays appears at the confluence of two major streams—the flowering of the “biblical theology movement” in a range of New Testament theologies published in the past two or three decades and the recent emergence of significant contributions to reflection on and the practice of theological interpretation of the Bible. To some, these two interests overlap enough to parade them under a single banner. To others, these are disparate approaches that draw on and display competing methodological commitments. Seasoned scholars and relative newcomers to the conversation orient readers to these concerns, not so much to resolve these differences but to explore them with an eye to the future of theological work with the New Testament.

In this provocative examination of collective identity in Jordan, Linda Layne challenges long-held Western assumptions that Arabs belong to easily recognizable corporate social groups. Who is a "true" Jordanian? Who is a "true" Bedouin? These questions, according to Layne, are examples of a kind of pigeonholing that has distorted the reality of Jordanian national politics. In developing an alternate approach, she shows that the fluid social identities of Jordan emerge from an ongoing dialogue among tribespeople, members of the intelligentsia, Hashemite rulers, and Western social scientists. Many commentators on social identity in the Middle East limit their studies to the village level, but Layne's goal is to discover how the identity-building processes of the locality and of the nation condition each other. She finds that the tribes create their own cultural "homes" through a dialogue with official nationalist rhetoric and Jordanian urbanites, while King Hussein, in turn, maintains the idea of the "homeland" in ways that are powerfully influenced by the tribespeople. The identities so formed resemble the shifting, irregular shapes of postmodernist land-scapes--but Hussein and the Jordanian people are also beginning to use a classically modernist linear narrative to describe themselves. Layne maintains, however, that even with this change Jordanian identities will remain resistant to all-or-nothing descriptions.
