Hawaiki, Ancestral Polynesia
Author: Patrick Vinton KirchPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521788793
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 398
Book Description
The power of an anthropological approach to long-term history lies in its unique ability to combine diverse evidence, from archaeological artifacts to ethnographic texts and comparative word lists. In this innovative book, Kirch and Green explicitly develop the theoretical underpinnings, as well as the particular methods, for such a historical anthropology. Drawing upon and integrating the approaches of archaeology, comparative ethnography, and historical linguistics, they advance a phylogenetic model for cultural diversification, and apply a triangulation method for historical reconstruction. They illustrate their approach through meticulous application to the history of the Polynesian cultures, and for the first time reconstruct in extensive detail the Ancestral Polynesian culture that flourished in the Polynesian homeland - Hawaiki - some 2,500 years ago. Of great significance for Oceanic studies, Kirch and Green's book will be essential reading for any anthropologist, prehistorian, linguist, or cultural historian concerned with the theory and method of long-term history.
Power and Christian Theology
Author: Stephen SykesPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 9780826476517
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
Examines the ambiguous role played by the concept of power in Christian theology. This work argues that it is not credible to attempt to dissociate Christian faith from the phenomena of power in their entirety. It holds that human beings are enmeshed in a deeply ambiguous context, a world of overlapping and intersecting powers.
