Drawing on three years of anthropological fieldwork in Nepali deaf communities, Being and Hearing shows how questions of cultural difference are profoundly shaped by local habits of perception. Beginning with the premise that philosophy and cultural intuition are separated only by genre and pedigree, Peter Graif argues that Nepali deaf communities?in their social sensibilities, political projects, and aesthetics of expression?present innovative answers to the very old question of what it means to be different. From pranks and protests, to diverse acts of love and resistance, to renewed distinctions between material and immaterial, deaf communities in Nepal have crafted ways to foreground the habits of perception that shape both their own experiences and how they are experienced by the hearing people around them. 606 $aDeaf$vMeans of communication 607 $aNepal$zKathmandu$2fast 607 $aNepal$2gnd 615 0$aDeaf 676 $a305.9082095496 700 $aGraif$b Peter$01276351 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910645975703321 996 $aBeing and hearing$93007566 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03904oam 2200601 a 450 001 9910779241103321 005 20231220220252.0 010 $a0-300-15348-1 024 7 $a10.12987/9780300153484 035 $a(CKB)2550000000105006 035 $a(EBL)3420957 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000722044 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11407687 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000722044 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10693175 035 $a(PQKB)10354725 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3420957 035 $a(DE-B1597)485534 035 $a(OCoLC)1024016751 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780300153484 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3420957 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10579356 035 $a(OCoLC)923600210 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000105006 100 $a20091112d2010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aVampires, burial, and death $efolklore and reality /$fPaul Barber 210 1$aNew Haven, Conn. :$cYale University Press,$d2010. 215 $a1 online resource (xvi, 239 pages) $cillustrations 300 $a"With a new preface." 311 0 $a0-300-16481-5 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $tFrontmatter --$tContents --$tPreface to the 2010 Edition --$tPreface --$tIntroduction --$tI.

From the tale of a sixteenth-century shoemaker from Breslau whose ghost terrorized everyone in the city, to the testimony of a doctor who presided over the exhumation and dissection of a graveyard full of Serbian vampires, his book is fascinating reading. "This study's comprehensiveness and the author's bone-dry wit make this compelling reading, not just for folklorists, but for anyone interested in a time when the dead wouldn't stay dead."-Booklist "Barber's inquiry into vampires, fact and fiction, is a gem in the literature of debunking... [and] a convincing exercise in mental archaeology."-Roy Porter, Nature "A splendid book about the undead, illuminated by the findings of morbid anatomy.... The main value of this most interesting book is to remind us how far we have come in our ability to explain the world and how this has released us from at least some terrors."-Anthony Daniels, Spectator "This book is fascinating reading for physicians and anthropologists as well as anyone interested in folklore."-R. Ted Steinbock, M.D., Journal of the American Medical Association "A fascinating and pain-staking (sorry!) thesis, which welds together folklore, epidemic panic, communal stupidity, and forensic and funereal science."-Huw Knight, New Scientist 606 $aVampires 606 $aPostmortem changes$vFolklore 606 $aDead$vFolklore 615 0$aVampires. 615 0$aPostmortem changes 615 0$aDead 676 $a398.21 700 $aBarber$b Paul$f1941-$0457403 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779241103321 996 $aVampires, burial and death$9181245 997 $aUNINA
