Becoming – An Anthropological Approach to Understandings of the Person in Java by Konstantinos Retsikas, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

'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'. | Becoming – An Anthropological Approach to Understandings of the Person in Java by Konstantinos Retsikas, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
