Modes of Comparison: Theory and Practice (The Comparative Studies In Society And History Book Series),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In Modes of Comparison: Theory and Practice, the contributors highlight how theoretical problems have brought forth new ideas on comparison and how comparison has become pivotal in the human sciences. Many of the chapters in this interdisciplinary volume update landmark essays from the journal Comparative Studies in Society and History. Each of the essays questions a number of critical and contemporary issues in history, sociology, and anthropology as they relate to various ideas of comparison. The authors set out comparative projects, discuss the difficulties of identifying baseline processes, and reflect on the contemporary challenges of organizing their analyses in ways that are both methodologically responsible and theoretically compelling."As a sign that the Zeitgeist may be changing Yengoyan has brought together a stimulating set of articles that demonstrate the strategic importance of comparison for the humanities and social sciences."Melford Spiro, Professor Emeritus of Anthropology, University of California, San Diego"The best of the best: conceptually inspired and deftly edited comparative studies from the multidisciplinary journal that calls the field."Michael Lambek, London School of Economics"Essays on theory, exemplary applications, fresh discoveries, classic articlesa rich collection on comparative study.
