Becoming - An Anthropological Approach to Understandings of the Person in Java, Paperback / softback Book

Becoming - An Anthropological Approach to Understandings of the Person in Java Paperback / softback

Part of the Anthem Southeast Asian Studies series

Paperback / softback

Description

‘Becoming – An Anthropological Approach to Understandings of the Person in Java’ is an ethnographic monograph that examines the ways in which the peoples of a peri-urban locality in East Java, Indonesia conceive of the person, by looking at how their everyday practices relate to understandings of ethnicity, kinship, Islam and gender.

The volume is also a thought experiment that aims to make a theoretical contribution to the discipline of anthropology by proposing the concept of the ‘diaphoron’ person and re-deploying the method of ‘total ethnography’.
