O knihe
Many philosophers and linguists suggest that names are just labels, but parents internationally are determined to get their children's names right. Personal names may be given, lost, traded, stolen and inherited. This collection of essays provides comparative ethnography through which we examine the politics of naming and the power of names themselves, both to fix and to destabilize personal identity. This book illustrates the intersection of names and naming with current interests in political processes, the relation between bodies and personal identities, ritual, and daily social life.
