Produktinformationen zu „On Centrism and Dualism (PDF)“
This book provides an overview of the anthropological debate on house societies, pertaining particularly to Southeast Asian social formations. The book's point of departure is a comparative model of social formations in Southeast Asia outlined by Shelly Errington. Although this model features prominently in anthropological discussions of the region, no detailed analysis of this comparative approach exists. This might be attributed to the fact that Errington's model is theoretically dense, alluding to the rather complicated anthropological field of kinship studies. Errington's model combines premises of Lévi-Strauss' Structural Anthropology with Clifford Geertz' symbolic or interpretative paradigm and situates the synthesis in the anthropology of insular Southeast Asia. This book traces the genealogy of this model and provides detailed explications of its basic theoretical premises before it explores the concept of house societies and how it is applied by Errington to approach and compare Southeast Asian social formations. The book reveals the structuralism that speaks through Errington's comparative approach by discussing the concept of transformation and indicates the potentials and limitations a typology of different house societies has for the anthropology of Southeast Asia.
ABOUT THE SERIES
Developments in the field of area studies, above all the analytical deconstruction of world regions in their geopolitical sense, deeply affect the knowledge production on and from societies and cultures located in these formerly commonsensical as well as politicized compartmentalizations of the globe. With this series the editors and authors wish to contribute to a reformulation of area studies which emphasizes the epistemic value of contextualized knowledge production. Starting from the notion of Southeast Asia, books published in this series will contribute to a more nuanced understanding of regionality based on a multidisciplinary approach. The series represents an outlet for young scholars intending to publish their excellent degree theses and established scholars, looking for a place to republish overworked and out of print books. We are also encouraging scholarly collectives from the region to publish collaborative works or edited volumes on topics that usually won't attract the attention of big presses due to their transdisciplinary character in this series.
