| Sommario/riassunto: | This Companion provides the first definitive overview of psychocultural anthropology: a subject that focuses on cultural, psychological, and social interrelations across cultures. * Brings together original essays by leading scholars in the field * Offers an in-depth exploration of the concepts and topics that have emerged through contemporary ethnographic work and the processes of global change * Key issues range from studies of consciousness and time, emotion, cognition, dreaming, and memory, to the lingering effects of racism and ethnocentrism, violence, identity and subjectivity |
