{"product_id":"the-spirit-of-mourning-paul-connerton-9781107648838","title":"The Spirit of Mourning","description":"How is the memory of traumatic events, such as genocide and torture, inscribed within human bodies? In this book, Paul Connerton discusses social and cultural memory by looking at the role of mourning in the production of histories and the reticence of silence across many different cultures. In particular he looks at how memory is conveyed in gesture, bodily posture, speech and the senses - and how bodily memory, in turn, becomes manifested in cultural objects such as tattoos, letters, buildings and public spaces. It is argued that memory is more cultural and collective than it is individual. This book will appeal to researchers and students in anthropology, linguistic anthropology, sociology, social psychology and philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Connerton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107648831\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107648838\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 6.40w x 0.34d","brand":"Paul Connerton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980853281023,"sku":"9781107648838","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_53da731b-e00e-44e2-94d3-7e389e604aae.jpg?v=1683252266","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-spirit-of-mourning-paul-connerton-9781107648838","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
