Nearly half the people born on the remote Mbuke Islands become teachers, businessmen, or bureaucrats in urban centers, while those who stay at home ask migrant relatives 'What about me?' This detailed ethnography sheds light on remittance motivations and documents how terms like 'community' can be useful in places otherwise permeated by kinship. As the state withdraws, Mbuke people explore what social ends might be reached through involvement with the cash economy"--Provided by publisher. 410 0$aPacific perspectives: studies of the European Society for Oceanists ;$v5. 606 $aEthnology$zPapua New Guinea 606 $aCommunity life$zPapua New Guinea 606 $aKinship$zPapua New Guinea 606 $aSocial values$zPapua New Guinea 606 $aIdentity (Psychology)$zPapua New Guinea 606 $aIndividuality$zPapua New Guinea 607 $aPapua New Guinea$xSocial life and customs 607 $aPapua New Guinea$xEthnic relations 607 $aPapua New Guinea$xEmigration and immigration$xSocial aspects 607 $aPapua New Guinea$xEconomic conditions 610 $aadmiralty islands. 610 $abismarck archipelago. 610 $abureaucrats. 610 $abusinessmen. 610 $acash economy. 610 $acommunity member. 610 $acommunity. 610 $adevelopment. 610 $aethnography. 610 $afamily bonds. 610 $afamily. 610 $akinship. 610 $amanus province. 610 $amanus. 610 $ambuke islands. 610 $amigrant relatives. 610 $amotivation. 610 $apapua new guinea. 610 $apapua new guinean community. 610 $apeople of the mbuke islands. 610 $apersonhood. 610 $arelative. 610 $aremittance documents. 610 $aremittance motivations. 610 $asocial connections. 610 $asociety. 610 $ateachers. 610 $aurban centers. 610 $avalue. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCommunity life 615 0$aKinship 615 0$aSocial values 615 0$aIdentity (Psychology) 615 0$aIndividuality 676 $a995.8/1 686 $aLC 20692$2rvk 700 $aRasmussen$b Anders Emil$01715909 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820537203321 996 $aIn the absence of the gift$94110881 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03667nam 22008054a 450 001 9910973951703321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-003-71838-8 010 $a978-615-5053-78-8 010 $a9786155053788 010 $a978-6-15505-378-8 010 $a615-5053-78-2 010 $a1-281-26859-3 010 $a9786611268596 010 $a1-4175-7454-2 024 7 $a10.1515/9786155053788 035 $a(CKB)1000000000242580 035 $a(OCoLC)57580544 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebrary10126111 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000106303 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11133855 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000106303 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10111207 035 $a(PQKB)11703273 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse25932 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3137195 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10126111 035 $a(OCoLC)939263222 035 $a(DE-B1597)633395 035 $a(DE-B1597)9786155053788 035 $a(Perlego)1983807 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3137195 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000242580 100 $a20041201d2005 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aAscensions on high in Jewish mysticism $epillars, lines, ladders /$fMoshe Idel 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aBudapest ;$aNew York $cCentral European University Press$d2005 215 $a1 online resource (259 p.) 225 1 $aPasts incorporated ;$vv. 2 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 08$a963-7326-03-0 311 08$a963-7326-02-2 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and indexes. 327 $aOn diverse forms of living ascent on high in Jewish sources -- On cosmic pillars in Jewish sources -- The eschatological pillar of the souls in zoharic literature -- Psychanodia and metamorphoses of pillars in eighteenth-century Hasidism -- The neoplatonic path for dead souls : medieval philosophy, Kabbalah and renaissance. 330 $aAscensions on high took many forms in Jewish mysticism and they permeated most of its history from its inception until Hasidism. The book surveys the various categories, with an emphasis on the architectural images of the ascent, like the resort to images of pillars, lines, and ladders. After surveying the variety of scholarly approaches to religion, the author also offers what he proposes as an eclectic approach, and a perspectivist one. The latter recommends to examine religious phenomena from a variety of perspectives. The author investigates the specific issue of the pillar in Jewish mysticism by comparing it to the archaic resort to pillars recurring in rural societies. Given the fact that the ascent of the soul and pillars constituted the concerns of two main Romanian scholars of religion, Ioan P. Culianu and Mircea Eliade, Idel resorts to their views, and in the Concluding Remarks analyzes the emergence of Eliade's vision of Judaism on the basis of neglected sources. 410 0$aPasts incorporated ;$vv. 2. 606 $aCabala$xHistory 606 $aAscension of the soul 606 $aColumns$xReligious aspects$xJudaism 606 $aMysticism$xJudaism 606 $aHasidism 615 0$aCabala$xHistory. 615 0$aAscension of the soul. 615 0$aColumns$xReligious aspects$xJudaism. 615 0$aMysticism$xJudaism. 615 0$aHasidism. 676 $a296.7/1 700 $aIdel$b Moshe$f1947-$0223908 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910973951703321 996 $aAscensions on high in Jewish mysticism$94367921 997 $aUNINA
