About this product
Product Information
Readers will find here a rich and reflective representation of Iceland and Icelanders today. Kristen Hastrup not only draws on extensive first-hand research of Iceland, she also relies on her own theory of what anthropology is and should be in fully documenting this place and its people. In two previous books, Hastrup studied the processes and patterns that shaped Icelandic society from medieval times to the nineteenth century. In these pages, she updates this record by giving us a view of contemporary Iceland from within the landscape. Hastrup also traces key resonances from Icelandic history as encountered today. Many images of Icelandicness are examined, with an emphasis on how such images relate to local social experience. The book seeks to convey how the villagers of Iceland understand their world, to show readers the Icelandic viewpoint from the inside out, and to give a unique portrait of a unique country.

Reviews
When Hastrup actually writes about the Icelandic world ... she produces real insights into the ways in which Icelanders conceptualize themselves and their land. - Carolyne Larrington. Times Literary Supplement. 8/1/1999, 'she convincingly argues that much of her material suggest that Icelanders have tradtionally refused to separate myth and history, pointing out that such a position is summarised in the concept of saga. Second, the chapter on landscape provides an excellent analysis of the phenomenology of spatial relations and Icelanders' attachment to both land and sea. Finally, Hastrup's portrayal of the food ritual called porrablot as a kind of Babette's Feast isboth entertaining and perceptive.'Gisli Palsson, Social Anthropology, Vol.8/1.'This book has much to offer to students of Iceland, ethnographic practice and anthropological theory. A place apart is, in my view, the best volume in Hastrup's triology on Iceland and anthropology. Her theorising is not only more mature, coherent and humanistic than in her earlier volumes, it is blended with perceptive ethnographic observations and analyses in language that is generally clear and accesssible.'Gisli Palsson, Social Anthropology, Vol.8/1.When Hastrup actually writes about the Icelandic world ... she produces real insights into the ways in which Icelanders conceptualize themselves and their land. - Carolyne Larrington.

Fantastic seller to deal with. Kept me informed and were super helpful and friendly. Provided tracking information so I could see where my order was and when to expect delivery. Considering that it had to come from the States, it arrived here in the UK very quickly. Very well packaged and exactly as described, I’m delighted with my dvd. Thank you so very much for your 5* service 😊
