Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 186 pp. First U.S. edition. Scholarly monograph on Amazon Indian religion and occult in Brazil. Binding tight; boards clean; dust jacket pristine; this copy IN FINE CONDITION. Originally published in Portuguese as "Um mundo dividido." Quoting the publisher's note: The social structure of the Apinayé, a Central Brazilian Indian tribe, has puzzled anthropologists for forty years. Now, in this long-awaited book previously unavailable in English, Roberto da Matta comprehensively describes Apinayé social life and the dualistic conceptual structure that underlies it. Special attention is given to the organization of daily and ceremonial life, the ideological aspects of kinship, the political system, and the confrontation between the Apinayé and the national Brazilian society. Da Matta then enlarges his account of the Apinayé to suggest a general interpretation of Indian culture in Central. Size: 24 x 16 pp. 0.0.

Condition: Muy bueno. Roberto Da Matta, uno de los antropologos mas destacados del siglo XX, escribio durante la dictadura militar de Brasil una obra pionera en lo que se refiere a la antropologia urbana, en una epoca en la que esta disciplina estaba obsesionada con los estudios campesinos y rurales. Basada en una minuciosa investigacion de campo en torno al carnaval de Rio de Janeiro, este estudio se ha convertido ya en un clasico, que pone a su autor a la altura de pensadores brasilenos como Gilberto Freyre, Sergio Buarque y Darcy Ribeiro.EAN: 9789681667153 Tipo: Libros Categoría: Sociología (Libros)| Política (Libros)| Sociedad y cultura (Libros) Título: Carnavales Malandros y HeroesAutor: DAMATTA,ROBERTO Editorial: FONDO CULTURA ECONOMICA Idioma: ES, EN Páginas: 352.

Book
Soft cover. Condition: New. Autor de obras de referência na antropologia, na sociologia e na ciência política, Roberto DaMatta também lança seu olhar crítico sobre o Brasil e o mundo nas páginas de grandes jornais do país. Reunidas neste volume, suas crônicas revisitam temas que o consagraram, como o futebol e o carnaval, as diferenças culturais e políticas entre as nações de Obama e Lula, e outros, menos abordados, de cunho mais pessoal e memorialístico. Com a mesma verve irônica e informal que o consagrou, e adicionando a ela um discurso em tom confessional, Roberto DaMatta comprova, em Crônicas da vida e da morte, por que é um eximo cronista do público e do privado. Entre exercícios de distanciamento e aproximação, o antropólogo usa toda a sua experiência em universidades e trabalhos de campo para investigar fenômenos aparentemente triviais do cotidiano brasileiro e mundial. A partir de escândalos políticos e crimes bárbaros que se avolumam no noticiário, DaMatta oferece novas chaves de interpretação da sociedade brasileira, relativizando 'verdades' e 'mentiras' registradas em nosso inconsciente. Com a experiência de um antropólogo social que aprendeu a examinar os fenômenos sociais pelo seu avesso, DaMatta lança luz sobre a sociedade em que vivemos, sem medo de afirmar com segurança que não é o patriotismo, mas a inveja, o sentimento básico da vida coletiva no Brasil. Ao desnudar o típico exemplar nacional, entre carnavais, malandros e heróis, Roberto DaMatta continua atento às transformações e permanências da sociedade brasileira.

Book
Soft cover. Condition: New. Notícias da América apresenta uma visão crítica dos Estados Unidos que oscila entre o ensaístico e o memorialístico. O livro, escrito durante as quase duas décadas que Roberto DaMatta morou nos EUA, reúne textos publicados em importantes jornais nacionais, entre os quais O Estado de S. Paulo, Jornal da Tarde e Folha de S. Paulo. Dividindo-se entre os dois países, na posição de espectador privilegiado, DaMatta percebeu com fina argúcia o melhor e o pior de ambas as culturas, suas concordâncias e dissonâncias, seus contrastes e paralelismos, suas compatibilidades e estranhamentos. A preocupação em relacionar a sociedade brasileiras e norte-americana é antiga no autor, que já em Carnavais, malandros e heróis, lançado em 1978, havia efetuado paralelos entre a festa popular carioca e a de Nova Orleans, bem como entre a visão brasileira (mais estática e permanente) de casa e a norte-americana (mais provisória e móvel). O fascínio por Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859) ― autor do clássico Democracia na América ― também é antigo em DaMatta, que enxerga no influente pensador francês mais do que um mestre, um verdadeiro "irmão espiritual".

Book
Soft cover. Condition: New. Apesar de ser o cientista social brasileiro mais citado em teses, estudos e ensaios acadêmicos, Roberto DaMatta não se deixou aprisionar pela vida universitária, efetuando em paralelo um movimento de difusão do conhecimento junto ao grande público leigo por meio de sua atividade como cronista. Brasileirismos, seu novo livro, é precisamente uma seleção das crônicas que publica em jornais de circulação nacional, como O Globo e O Estado de S. Paulo. O subtítulo corresponde às três divisões do livro ("Além do jornalismo", "Aquém da antropologia" e "Quase ficção"), sendo bastante exato e descritivo, já que DaMatta não é, nem poderia ser, um cronista comum. Mesmo porque ele tem em sua bagagem a sólida formação e o instrumental da antropologia. Mas, por outro lado, quando escreve para a imprensa, ele não usa o jargão da antropologia nem emprega um tom professoral. Faz justo o contrário: busca ser acessível ao leitor comum, sem jamais reivindicar para si a última palavra ou o vaticínio irrefutável. Assim, as crônicas de Brasileirismos não são didáticas nem doutrinárias. Longe disto, dialogam com o leitor de igual para igual e deixam inclusive espaço para o humor e a imaginação, que resvala para a "quase ficção" mencionada no tripé estilístico anunciado no subtítulo. Brasileirismos reúne 130 crônicas escritas nos últimos cinco anos e em nenhuma delas existe qualquer ranço acadêmico ou professoral, pois DaMatta basca a comunicação efetiva e total com o leitor, chegando a evocar episódios da própria infância e juventude, ou dos primeiros anos como antropólogo em aldeias indígenas como um simples escritor memorialista. Contudo, tais evocações não são meramente nostálgicas nem autólatras e sim ditadas pelo anseio de acessibilidade e de identificação com o leitor.

The Brazilian Puzzle provides a unique picture of everyday life in Brazil viewed from a comparative perspective. Brazilian scholars and Brazilianists explore a range of topics in everyday life in Brazil, including sports, music, voluntary associations, religion, political practices, race and gender, and poor neighborhoods. The authors show how Brazilian culture involves a complex negotiation in which the traditional values of hierarchy and personalism permeate even the most modern institutions. The Brazilian Puzzle is emblematic of the new era in Brazilian studies in which Brazilian scholars are leading the way. Many of the authors draw on the work of the Brazilian anthropologist Robert DaMatta, who has questioned the perspective of observers from developed Western countries. DaMatta argues that they often project their own categories onto Brazilian society, and instead he suggests that Latin Americans and other peoples develop their own theories rooted in their own unique experiences. In this way The Brazilian Puzzle contributes to the end of an era of Brazilianists and the decolonizing of area studies. --- Contents: -- I. Brazilian Styles of Social Relations: -- 1.
