    Dilemmas

    Beyond Binaries and Double Binds

    Pushing back against the idea that dilemmas as clear-cut binary choices, renowned anthropologist Jackson shows us some of the ways that dilemmas are addressed in non-Western thought, traditions, and philosophy.

    Playing the Hand We Are Dealt

    The Counterpoint of Fate and Freewill in Literature and Life

    The relationship between literature and life can be construed as a counterpoint of fate and freewill. Rather than equating fate to the ‘hand we are dealt’ which is reducible to the social or familial environments into which we are born, this book explores the idea of fate through the books that shape our lives and under whose influence we write.

  8. Self-Alteration

    Self-Alteration

    How People Change Themselves Across Cultures

    Many of us feel a pressing desire to be different--to be other than who we are. The essays in Self-Alteration come at the subject of the self and its becoming through case studies of modes of transformation of the self. They do this with social processes and projects that reveal how the self acquires a non-trivial new meaning in and through its very process of alteration.
