PDF-[EBOOK]-Mistrust: An Ethnographic Theory (Malinowski Monographs)

Trust occupies a unique place in contemporary discourse Seen as both necessary and virtuous it is variously depicted as enhancing the social fabric lowering crime rates increasing happiness and generating prosperity It allows for complex political systems permits human communication underpins financial instruments and economic institutions and generally holds society together Against these overwhelmingly laudable qualities mistrust often goes unnoticed as a positive social phenomenon treated as little more than a corrosive absence a mere negative of trust itself With this book Matthew Carey proposes an ethnographic and conceptual exploration of mistrust that raises it up as legitimate stance in its own right             While mistrust can quickly ruin relationships and even dissolve extensive social ties Carey shows that it might have other values Drawing on fieldwork in Moroccos High Atlas Mountains as well as comparative material from regions stretching from Eastern Europe to Melanesia he examines the impact of mistrust on practices of conversation and communication friendship and society and politics and cooperation In doing so he demonstrates that trust is not the only basis for organizing human society and cooperating with others The result is a provocative but enlightening work that makes us rethink social issues such as suspicion doubt and uncertainty  . spurgeongemsorg MISTRUST OF GOD DEPLORED AND DENOUNCED NO 1498 DELIVERED ON LORDSDAY MORNING OCTOBER 5 1879 BY C H SPURGEON AT THE METROPOLITAN TABERNACLE NEWINGTON How long will it be before they believe Me Numbers 1411 THE children of Israel were v December 19 , 20 1 4 Rich Malinowski , Rich.Malinowski@noaa.gov FB 1 4 - 0 97 727 - 824 - 5305, FAX 727 - 824 - 5308 NOAA Fisheries A nnounces the 2015 Red Grouper Recreational Bag Limit will be Fo 1 TRUST AND MISTRUST IN ORGANISATIONS We are living in a time when dishonesty and duplicity are common in our public institutions, our workplaces, and even in our personal relationships. But by recognizing and resisting the small, seemingly inconsequential ways we make moral compromises in our own lives, we can repair the tear in our social and moral fabric.The Law of Small Things begins with an IQ (Integrity Quotient) test designed to reveal the casual way we regard our promises and the misconceptions we have about acting truthfully. The book shows how most people believe that integrity is something we just have and that we just do, like a Nike commercial. It depicts these and other deceptions we deploy to appear to act with integrity without actually doing so.The Law of Small Things also exposes how our culture encourages breaches of integrity through an array of permitted promise-breaking, a language of clich?s that equates self-interest with duty, and the illusion of inconsequence that excuses small breaches with the breezy confidence that we can fulfill integrity when it counts.Brody challenges the prevailing notion that integrity is a possession you hold permanently. No one has integrity and no one is perfect in practicing it. What we have is the opportunity to uphold promises and fulfill duties in each situation that faces us, large and small. Integrity is a practice and a habit of keeping promises, the ones we make explicitly and the ones that are implied in all our relationships.Ultimately, developing skill in the practice of integrity leads us to knowledge of who we are--not in the way the culture defines us, but in the way we truly know ourselves to be. This volume is the first to collect the most influential essays and lectures of Eduardo Viveiros de Castro. Published in a wide variety of venues, and often difficult to find, the pieces are brought together here for the first time in a one major volume, which includes his momentous 1998 Cambridge University Lectures, “Cosmological Perspectivism in Amazonia and Elsewhere.”Rounded out with new English translations of a number of previously unpublished works, the resulting book is a wide-ranging portrait of one of the towering figures of contemporary thought—philosopher, anthropologist, ethnographer, ethnologist, and more. With a new afterword by Roy Wagner elucidating Viveiros de Castro’s work, influence, and legacy, The Relative Native will be required reading, further cementing Viveiros de Castro’s position at the center of contemporary anthropological inquiry.   Many consider Lewis Binford to be the single most influential figure in archaeology in the last half-century. His contributions to the New Archaeology changed the course of the field, as he argued for the development of a scientifically rigorous framework to guide the excavation and interpretation of the archaeological record. This book, the culmination of Binford\'s intellectual legacy thus far, presents a detailed description of his methodology and its significance for understanding hunter-gatherer cultures on a global basis. This landmark publication will be an important step in understanding the great process of cultural evolution and will change the way archaeology proceeds as a scientific enterprise.This work provides a major synthesis of an enormous body of cultural and environmental information and offers many original insights into the past. Binford helped pioneer what is now called ethnoarchaeology—the study of living societies to help explain cultural patterns in the archaeological record—and this book is grounded on a detailed analysis of ethnographic data from about 340 historically known hunter-gatherer populations. The methodological framework based on this data will reshape the paradigms through which we understand human culture for years to come. This book is the first to treat the engineering of superconductivity. It provides a complete theoretical basis for the quantitative engineering design of superconducting magnet systems, from the small instrument magnets used as everyday research tools to the very large magnet systems used to work on thermonuclear fusion and magnetohydrodynamic power generation. The author devotes particular attention to the problem of stabilization, a crucial factor in the design process due to its bearing on the overall reliability of the completed system, and also describes the essential features of field and stress calculation. Engineers and physicists involved in the design of systems utilizing superconducting magnets will welcome this publication.
