Closing ourselves off from the world is not an option, for our humanity depends on the ties that bind us to significant others, and others to us. As Jackson shows, the relationship between the familiar and the foreign is not only an existential issue that all human beings address in one way or another. It is a methodological issue for anthropologists concerned with the complementarity of individual and collective perspectivesethnos and anthropos, the intrapsychic and the intersubjective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Jackson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501768492\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501768491\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d","brand":"Michael Jackson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44130549793023,"sku":"9781501768491","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1b5c6244-9f7f-4561-a693-0bcfe2f7a928.jpg?v=1687469971","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/worlds-within-and-worlds-without-michael-jackson-9781501768491","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
