Sommario/riassunto

In this book, Robert L. Kelly challenges the preconceptions that hunter-gatherers were Paleolithic relics living in a raw state of nature, instead crafting a position that emphasizes their diversity, and downplays attempts to model the original foraging lifeway or to use foragers to depict human nature stripped to its core. Kelly reviews the anthropological literature for variation among living foragers in terms of diet, mobility, sharing, land tenure, technology, exchange, male-female relations, division of labor, marriage, descent and political



organization. Using the paradigm of human behavioral ecology, he analyzes the diversity in these areas and seeks to explain rather than explain away variability, and argues for an approach to prehistory that uses archaeological data to test theory rather than one that uses ethnographic analogy to reconstruct the past.

Sommario/riassunto

Quelle connaissance avons-nous de l’ordinaire et sa normativité ? Quelle en est la grammaire ? Mais aussi plus largement, dans quelle mesure un même concept d’ordinaire permet-il de mieux comprendre ces vies que nous menons, des plus prosaïques aux plus éloignées ? Enfin, quelle forme donner à ces vies ordinaires ? Telles sont les grandes lignes de ce volume consacré aux concepts d’ordinaire. Depuis près de deux décennies maintenant, l’ordinaire s’est en effet imposé comme un nouveau champ de recherches en philosophie. Ce volume collectif témoigne de la richesse et du caractère profondément novateur de ces explorations, et cherche à établir plus fermement ce que l’on appellera les « concepts de l’ordinaire ».

Sommario/riassunto

A unique compendium of knowledge on all aspects of the texture of liquid crystals, providing not just detailed information on texture formation and determination, but also an in-depth discussion of different characterization methods. Experts as well as graduates entering the field will find all the information they need in this handbook, while the magnitude of the color images make it valuable hands-on-reference.
