{"product_id":"boundless-worlds-peter-wynn-kirby-9781845455385","title":"Boundless Worlds: An Anthropological Approach to Movement","description":"\u003cp\u003e Where lived experience of surroundings is shifting, visceral, and immersive, interpretation of social spaces tends to be static and remote. \"Space\" and \"place\" are also often analyzed without grappling much (if at all) with the social, political, and historical roots of spatial practice. This volume embarks upon the novel strategy of focusing on movement as a way of understanding social spaces, which offers a means to get beyond biases inherent in the social science of space. Ethnographic studies of social life in settings as varied as nomadic Mongolia and island Melanesia, as distinct as contemporary Tokyo and war-torn Palestine, challenge Western assumptions about the universality of \"space\" and allow concrete understanding of how life plays out over different socio-cultural topographies. In a world that is becoming increasingly \"bounded\" in many ways - despite enormous changes wrought by technological, ideological, and other social developments - \u003ci\u003eBoundless Worlds\u003c\/i\u003e urges a scholarly turn, away from the purely global, toward the human dimension of social lives lived in conditions of conflict, upheaval, remapping, and improvisation through movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Wynn Kirby\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 184545538X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781845455385\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Library Binding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2009 pg. 129","brand":"Peter Wynn Kirby","offers":[{"title":"Library Binding","offer_id":48136915419391,"sku":"9781845455385","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dbfb2703-1859-499b-adcb-b6f815f6e670.jpg?v=1770165302","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/boundless-worlds-peter-wynn-kirby-9781845455385","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
