Exploring this world, anthropologist Ramsey Elkholy treats embodied action and perception as the basis of shared experience and shows how various forms of embodied experience constitute the very foundations of human culture. In a unique methodological contribution, Elkholy adopts a set of body-centered approaches that reflect and capture the day-to-day, moment-to-moment ways in which people engage with the world. Being and Becoming is an important contribution to phenomenological anthropology, hunter-gatherer studies, and to Southeast Asian ethnography more generally UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781785331602?locatt=mode:legacy UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781785331602 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781785331602/original ER -
