{"product_id":"australian-aboriginal-kinship-laurent-dousset-9781463740412","title":"Australian Aboriginal Kinship: An introductory handbook with particular emphasis on the Western Desert","description":"This handbook brings the principles of human kinship in general, and Australian Aboriginal kinship in particular, closer to the reader in an understandable and pedagogic way. Aimed at a large public, including anthropologists, the handbook is divided into four parts: the historical and ethnographic background of important concepts such as 'culture', 'hunter-gatherer societies' etc.; the basic tools and notions needed to understand kinship (terminology, marriage, descent and filiation); an ethnographic analysis of the Australian Western Desert kinship and notions such as 'family', 'household' and 'domestic group'; a presentation of social organisation, in particular generational moieties, patri- and matrimoieties, sections and subsections. The concluding chapter discusses in a critical fashion the concept of kinship itself and elaborates on the idea of relatedness as a meaningful expansion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laurent Dousset\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1463740417\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781463740412\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/20\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 8.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Laurent Dousset","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44173079609599,"sku":"9781463740412","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0e3e8243-24ed-456e-8ea1-dc6a18b91802.jpg?v=1689790918","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/australian-aboriginal-kinship-laurent-dousset-9781463740412","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
