Beschreibung
With the aim of shedding some light on the many ambiguities
that contemporary dramatic events are bringing to the fore,
this volume collects eight ethnographic contributions, the
product of fieldwork conducted in the last two years in
geographical problem areas upon fundamentalism and
transnationalism, religiously driven deviations and
challenges in data collection. It also aims to provide a
slightly different contribution from the dominant academic
rhetoric, with chapters that cut across established
historical “academic” regions while intersecting
anthropological or cultural areas, thus deliberately
connecting the Caucasus to the Eastern Mediterranean shores
through the Anatolian peninsula and the northern Mesopotamia
region.
Marcello Mollica is a `Rita Levi Montalcini’
