Margaret mead (Oltre 3700 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: Fair. The groundbreaking classic detailing Margaret Mead's first field work at age 23, establishing Mead's core insights into childhood and culture that challenged and changed our view of life.  Rarely do science and literature come together in the same book.  When they do -- as in Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species, for example -- they become classics, quoted and studied by scholars and the general public alike. Margaret Mead accomplished this remarkable feat not once but several times, beginning with Coming of Age in Samoa. It details her historic journey to American Samoa, taken when she was just twenty-three, where she did her first fieldwork. Here, for the first time, she presented to the public the idea that the individual experience of developmental stages could be shaped by cultural demands and expectations. Adolescence, she wrote, might be more or less stormy, and sexual development more or less problematic in different cultures.  Mead's revolutionary book, dedicated to the girls of Tau, was one of the first studies to pay attention to girls' lives. Her keen observations contain many ideas that are still powerful today--that sexuality is culturally-shaped, that adolescence need not be stressful, and that the lives of adolescent girls are worthy of attention and respect. Now this groundbreaking, beautifully written work as been reissued for the centennial of Mead's birth, featuring introductions by Mary Pipher, Ph.D. (Reviving Ophelia) and by Mead's daughter, Mary Catherine Bateso (Composing a Life). …

Paperback. Condizione: Fair. A precursor to Mead's illuminating Male & Female, Sex & Temperament lays the groundwork for her lifelong study of gender differences. First published in 1935, Sex & Temperament is a fascinating and brilliant anthropological study of the intimate lives of three New Guinea tribes from infancy to adulthood. Focusing on the gentle, mountain-dwelling Arapesh, the fierce, cannibalistic Mundugumor, and the graceful headhunters of Tchambuli -- Mead advances the theory that many so-called masculine and feminine characteristics are not based on fundamental sex differences but reflect the cultural conditioning of different societies. This edition, prepared for the centennial of Mead's birth, features introductions by Helen Fisher and Mead's daughter, Mary Catherine Bateson. This foundational work of cultural anthropology explores: Cross-Cultural Perspective: An immersive look at three dramatically different societies: the gentle Arapesh, the aggressive Mundugumor, and the Tchambuli, where traditional gender expectations are reversed. Cultural Conditioning: Mead's groundbreaking argument that personality traits we consider 'masculine' or 'feminine' are not innate, but are powerfully shaped by culture and upbringing. Feminist Anthropology: A cornerstone text that challenged long-held beliefs about sex and temperament, paving the way for modern gender studies. Pioneering Fieldwork: Based on Mead's immersive and controversial fieldwork in New Guinea, this study remains a landmark in social science.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. With a new introduction by Helen Fisher, Ph.D., the classic gender study by renowned anthropologist Margaret Mead, which delivers pertinent insights into today's battle of the sexes. Mead's anthropological examination of seven Pacific island tribes analyzes the dynamics of non-western cultures to explore the evolving meaning of "male" and "female" in modern American society. On its publication in 1949, the New York Times declared, "Dr. Mead's book has come to grips with the cold war between the sexes and has shown the basis of a lasting sexual peace." This edition, prepared for the centennial of Mead's birth, features introductions by Helen Fisher and Mead's daughter, Mary Catherine Bateson. Male & Female remains an extraordinary document of great relevance, while Mead's research methods and fieldwork offer a blueprint for scholars in future generations. In this landmark text, Mead confronts the essential question of the human experience: How do biology, culture, and society shape what it means to be a man or a woman? Seven South Sea Cultures: Journey with Mead to seven distinct Pacific island societies--from Samoa to Bali--to witness firsthand how different cultures construct the meanings of "male" and "female." The Nature Versus Nurture Debate: Explore one of the foundational texts in the ongoing conversation about whether biology or culture is the primary force in shaping human personality and gender. Gender, Sex, and Temperament: Analyze Mead's classic framework for understanding the powerful links between societal expectations, cultural conditioning, and the expression of human sexuality. The Invention of Fatherhood: Challenge your assumptions with Mead's provocative thesis that human fatherhood is a social invention, a learned behavior that separates humanity from the rest of the animal world. Updated for a New Generation: Gain fresh perspective from new introductions by renowned biological anthropologist Helen Fisher and Mead's daughter, Mary Catherine Bateson.…
