Abstract

Although social sciences such as anthropology are often thought to have been organized as academic specialties in the nineteenth century, the ideas upon which these disciplines were founded actually developed centuries earlier. In fact, the foundational concepts can be traced at least as far back as the sixteenth century, when contact with unfamiliar peoples in the New World led Europeans to create ways of describing and understanding social similarities and differences among humans. Early Anthropology in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries examines the history of some of the ideas adopted to help understand the origin of culture, the diversity of traits, the significance of similarities, the sequence of high civilizations, the course of cultural change, and the theory of social evolution. It is a book that not only illuminates the thinking of a bygone age but also sheds light on the sources of attitudes still prevalent today.

Abstract

This wide-ranging book, first published in 1994, traces the development of popular culture in England from the Iron Age, when it first becomes apparent as a whole, to the eighteenth century. The concept of popular culture is here taken to be the body of ideas which is held by a people about itself and its environment, both physical and social, together with the tools and artefacts through which its members related to one another and to the outside world; it follows therefore that the general theme of the book is peoples' attitude to, and use of, their environment. After a short discussion of the Prehistoric and Roman cultures the book deals in depth with the essential foundations - shelter and housing, warmth and security, furnishings and domestic convenience, food and its preparation, and ultra-familial and ultra-communal relations. A separate chapter is devoted to the culture of towns. The text is illustrated throughout by objects, artefacts and structures, many of which are visual representations of earlier cultures.

Abstract

"De komst van de elektriciteit vanaf eind negentiende eeuw bracht een ongeëvenaarde verandering van het dagelijks leven op gang. Terwijl het land van stroom werd voorzien, kwam vanuit vooruitgangsoptimisme en verheerlijking van de techniek een leger van uitvinders op de been dat op zoek ging naar toepassingen. Dit bracht ons bijvoorbeeld de gloeilamp. Maar er was meer, zeker binnenshuis. Want niet alleen de wijze van verlichting veranderde, ook die van huishoudelijk werk, verwarming en persoonlijke verzorging. Stofzuigers, keukenapparatuur, haardrogers, scheerapparaten: spullen die enkele generaties geleden het huiselijk leven op z'n kop zetten vooral dat van de vrouw. De auteurs lopen met u door de verschillende vertrekken van de woning en laten een keur aan ooit revolutionaire en vaak prachtig ontworpen artikelen uit hun eigen omvangrijke collectie de revue passeren."-- Publisher information.
