The Last Word Women, Death, and Divination in Inner Mani
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Univ of Chicago Pr
- Publish date: 03/01/1991
Description:
Based on years of fieldwork in both rural and urban Greece, The Last Word explores women's cultural resistance as they weave together diverse social practices: improvised antiphonic laments, divinatory dreaming, the care and tending of olive trees and the dead, and the inscription of emotions and the senses on a landscape of persons, things, and places. These practices compose the empowering poetics of the cultural periphery: C. Nadia Seremetakis liberates the analysis of gender from reductive binary models and pioneers the alternative perspective of self-reflexive 'native anthropology' in European ethnography.
