![]() ![]() ![]() J'aborde l'anthropologie de Mathieu comme faisant partie d'une longue tradition d'anthropologie appliquée qui offre toujours des outils analytiques pour l'anthropologie féministe, publique et critique. Cet article retrace la pensée de Mathieu et ses liens théoriques à Claude Lévi-Strauss et Simone de Beauvoir. L'anthropologue française, Nicole-Claude Mathieu (1937–2014), a dévoué sa carrière à théoriser les institutions de mariage, les relations entre les conditions matérielles d'échange et celles de consentement, ainsi que la coexistence interculturelle de la diversité des genres et la subordination des femmes. This reading contrasts with views that there are "waves" and opposing "generations" in feminist scholarship. I read Mathieu's anthropology as par of the long tradition of engaged anthropology and as continuing to offer analytical tools for critical feminist public anthropology. This article traces Mathieu's thinking to her theoretical ties to Claude Lévi-Strauss and Simone de Beauvoir. ![]() French anthropologist, Nicole-Claude Mathieu (1937–2014), devoted her career to theorising the institution of marriage the relations between material conditions and "consent" and the cross-cultural coexistence of gender diversity and subordination of women. ![]() ![]() Very slight creasing at the edges of the dustwrapper. ![]() Very slight fading to the spine of the dustwrapper. ***In a very good illustrated dustwrapper which has not been price-clipped, showing the original publisher's price of £9.99.

No one was safe from Thella's depredations, and now her quarry was Aramina, reputed to have a telepathic link with dragons. Then, from the ranks of the criminals and the disaffected, rose a band of renegades, led by the Lady Thella. For all the holdless, life was a constant struggle for survival. Others, like Aramina's family, had lost their holds through injustice and cruelty. And there were some, like Jayge's trader clan, who simply preferred the freedom of the roads to the security of a hold. But not everyone on Pern was part of that system of mutual care and protection, particularly those who had been rendered holdless as punishment for wrongdoing. In exchange for sanctuary in the huge stone fortresses, the people tithed to their Lord Holders, who in turn supported the Weyrs, whose dragons were Pern's greatest weapon against Thread. As long as the people of Pern could remember, the Holds had protected them from Thread, the deadly silver strands that fell from the sky and ravaged the land.

As Alaïs and Alice become increasingly involved in preventing the books falling into the wrong hands, their adventures echo, qualify and extend one another's as if they were playing the same orchestral piece on slightly different instruments. The job of heroine is split between the 13th-century Alaïs, the daughter of one of the leading men in Carcassonne, and Alice, a contemporary British woman who has managed to inveigle her way on to a local archaeological dig as a way of spinning out a lacklustre summer. What really marks Labyrinth out is the fact that all the main roles - goodies as well as baddies, historical and contemporary - go to women. ![]() ![]() Join authors Blue Balliett ( Out of the Wild Night), Mary Downing Hahn ( The Girl in the Locked Room), Gail Carson Levine ( Ogre Enchanted), Leslie Margolis ( Ghosted), Katherine Arden ( Small Spaces), and William Alexander ( A Festival of Ghosts) as they share their latest books for the creepy holiday season.
