In this collection leading anthropologists provide a comprehensive yet highly nuanced view of what it means to be a Greek man or woman, married or unmarried, functioning within a complex society based on kinship ties. Exploring the ways in which sexual identity is constructed, these authors discuss, for example, how going out for coffee embodies dominant ideas about female sexuality, moral virtue, and autonomy; why men in a Lesbos village maintain elaborate friendships with nonfamily members while the women do not; why young housewives often participate in conflict-resolution rituals; and how the dominant role of mature married householders is challenged by unmarried persons who emphasize spontaneity and personal autonomy. This collection demonstrates that kinship and gender identities in Greece are not unitary and fixed: kinship is organized in several highly specific forms, and gender identities are plural, competing, antagonistic, and are continually being redefined by contexts and social change. Contents: Part One : Gender and kinship in marries life Part Two ; Gender, Kinship and Religion: 'Reconstructing' the Anthropology of Greece by Jill Dubisch; Cosmos and Gender in Village Greece by Juliet du Boulay; Silence, Submission and subversion: Towards a Poetics of Womenhood by Michael Herzfeld; The Resolution of a Conflict through song in Greek Ritual Therapy by Loring Danforth; The Limits of K inship by Roger Just.

In 1910, Peter Contis had arrived in Pittsburgh as a penniless Greek immigrant. He began as a dishwasher, but within a year had opened his first restaurant. He put down roots in the new culture yet still preserved vitally important elements of the old. In this way, when eventually he retired and took up brushes, he was able to find a fresh vision of his city that drew as much on acute remembrance of his homeland as on familiarity with the urban landscape amid which he had served generations of diners and brought up his family. Soon after his death, Peter's wife Helen came across one of his paintings, unfinished. Spurred on by a granddaughter, Helen picked up brushes and proceeded to paint other pictures too. This remarkable story is eloquently told by an author who was able to visit the villages in the Peloponnese and to discover many of the springs of the artists' imagination. His narrative is accompanied by 40 color plates and 80 black and white illustrations. The paintings of the two artists are exhibited at The Carnegie Museum of Art to coincide with the publication of this book. It includes details of his family and backgound in the Peloponnese and about Greek immigrants in Pittsburgh, with photographs of the places and people.160p. illus.

"Prima edizione della versione francese". Cfr. The Hill Collection of Pacific Voyages (2004),782, per la prima ediz. inglese del 1773: “Important collection chronicling English maritime expeditions. John Byron visited the Tuamoto Islands and Nikunau in what would later be called the Gilbert Islands. Captain Wallis discovered the volcanic island of Tahiti and Morea.. Captain Carteret discovered Pitcairn Island and some remote atolls in the South Seas. The first voyage under the not-yet-famous Captain Cook’s command was primarly of a scientific nature. The expedition was to sail to Tahiti in order to observe the transit of Venus across the disk of the sun, to determine the earth’s distance from the sun, and also to carry on the geographical discovery that John Byron had started. Entering the Pacific around Cape Horn, Cook reached Tahiti in 1769 and carried out the necessary astronomical observations.. Leaving Tahiti in July, Cook discovered, named and charted the Society Islands, and then, heading southwest, explored New Zealand. Cook then headed towards Australia and discovered and charted the eastern coast for 2.000 miles, naming the area New South Wales. He nearly lost his ship on the Great Barrier Reef. Both Australia and New Zealand were annexed by Britain as a result of this voyage, which began in 1768 and ended in 1771. Cook’s discoveries won him prominence, promotion, and the opportunity to sail again. They also ensured J. Hawkesworth’s position in maritime literary history, as the official chronicler of Cook’s first voyage”. Pagine ingiallite per la qualità della carta, altrimenti esemplare ben conservato.

The author records folk life and village society in his hometown during the period 1940-1980. He describes the material life (organization of production, survival mechanisms of residents, the village market, technical, traditional occupations) and the forms of cooperation and mutual assistance between the villagers. His local knowledge and personal experience of village life helped him to assemble much primary folklore material and record it with the help of informants and villager, providing typical examples of collective memory, showing links to the place of origin and preservation of the rich functional and ritual life of the community.188p. illus, bibligraphy. {3 copies found in WorldCat] Book
