ePub Aeronautica: An Illustrated Reference Guide for Collectors - Collectables Relating To Military And Naval Airforces of the World 1914-1984 by A. J. Marriott - Smith in History

Description

The essays presented in this volume constitute a progression from general considerations related to the ‘etic’ (in the geertzian sense of the word) approach to South Asian cultural productions; to peculiar and detailed investigations of them. Such a sequence is meant to develop a renovated and systemic approach; through which these specific cultural materials should be interpreted: materials not to be read in isolation; nor with an overemphasised concern for cultural relativity. Rather; they should be viewed as meaningful examples of sophisticated intellectual and cultural procedures to be included into a broader comparative discussion; also in order to increase the quality and the depth of such debate.
