Journeys through life between local and global processes. Person, self, and emotion in anthropological biographical research
The papers of this book have originated from a workshop at the conference of the DGV (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Völkerkunde) at Göttingen, October 2001. Methodological premise was that the biographical approach is a good medium to personal experience in locally-globally interrelated worlds - showing possibilities and processes of agency for individual actors, and how these possibilities and opportunities are evaluated in retrospective.
