Der Dürrnberg bei Hallein. Mit einem Beitrag von Mona Abd El Karem. Das vierte Gräberfeld nach Kammelhöhe, Sonneben [DF 5] und Moserfeld-Osthang [DF 6] liegt unterhalb der Hexenwand am Nordhang des Mosersteines. In den 1930er Jahren wurden von O. Klose die bescheidenen Gräber 15, 103, 104 und 105 sowie das große Wagengrab 112 mit der berühmten bronzenen Schnabelkanne untersucht. Später kam Grab 50 hinzu und fanden Nachgrabungen in bekannten Gräbern statt. 1990-94 erfasste K. W. Zeller im westlichen Teil des Hexenwandfeldes 22 neue Gräber und Siedlungsbefunde. Damit liegen 29 Gräber mit bis zu 8 Toten je Grab und mindestens 72 Bestattungen insgesamt vor, die sich im Zentrum der Mittelterrasse konzentrieren und von Ha D1 bis Lt B2 reichen. Baulich handelt es sich um hölzerne, meist von Steinsetzungen eingefaßte Grabkammern in bis zu drei Ebenen übereinander und unter kleinen Grabhügeln. Bis auf eine altgegrabene Brandbestattung in Grab 50 kommen nur Körpergräber vor, meist in O-W-Ausrichtung. Nachgewiesen sind 22 Frauen, 6 Mädchen, 25 Männer und 2 Jungen. Häufig waren Trachtbestandteile, Speisebeigaben und Trankbeigaben, ein Drittel der Männer hatte Waffen. Die meisten Gräber waren antik beraubt. 260 Seiten mit 145 Textabb., 16 Tab. und 53 Farb- und s/w-Tafeln sowie 7 Falttafeln als Beilagen in Rückentasche, Großformat, gebunden (Dürrnberg-Forschungen; Band 7.

Now in paperback: David Graeber’s “fresh . . . fascinating . . . thought-provoking . . . and exceedingly timely” (Financial Times) history of debt   Here anthropologist David Graeber presents a stunning reversal of conventional wisdom: he shows that before there was money, there was debt. For more than 5,000 years, since the beginnings of the first agrarian empires, humans have used elaborate credit systems to buy and sell goods—that is, long before the invention of coins or cash. It is in this era, Graeber argues, that we also first encounter a society divided into debtors and creditors.Graeber shows that arguments about debt and debt forgiveness have been at the center of political debates from Italy to China, as well as sparking innumerable insurrections. He also brilliantly demonstrates that the language of the ancient works of law and religion (words like “guilt,” “sin,” and “redemption”) derive in large part from ancient debates about debt, and shape even our most basic ideas of right and wrong. We are still fighting these battles today without knowing it.

In anthropology as much as in popular imagination, kings are figures of fascination and intrigue, heroes or tyrants in ways presidents and prime ministers can never be. This collection of essays by two of the world’s most distinguished anthropologists—David Graeber and Marshall Sahlins—explores what kingship actually is, historically and anthropologically. As they show, kings are symbols for more than just sovereignty: indeed, the study of kingship offers a unique window into fundamental dilemmas concerning the very nature of power, meaning, and the human condition. Reflecting on issues such as temporality, alterity, and utopia—not to mention the divine, the strange, the numinous, and the bestial—Graeber and Sahlins explore the role of kings as they have existed around the world, from the BaKongo to the Aztec to the Shilluk and beyond. Richly delivered with the wit and sharp analysis characteristic of Graeber and Sahlins, this book opens up new avenues for the anthropological study of this fascinating and ubiquitous political figure.

This innovative book is the first comprehensive synthesis of economic, political, and cultural theories of value. David Graeber reexamines a century of anthropological thought about value and exchange, in large measure to find a way out of quandaries in c

From bestselling writer David Graeber, a powerful argument against the rise of meaningless, unfulfilling jobs, and their consequences.Does your job make a meaningful contribution to the world? In the spring of 2013, David Graeber asked this question in a playful, provocative essay titled “On the Phenomenon of Bullshit Jobs.” It went viral. After a million online views in seventeen different languages, people all over the world are still debating the answer. There are millions of people—HR consultants, communication coordinators, telemarketing researchers, corporate lawyers—whose jobs are useless, and, tragically, they know it. These people are caught in bullshit jobs. Graeber explores one of society’s most vexing and deeply felt concerns, indicting among other villains a particular strain of finance capitalism that betrays ideals shared by thinkers ranging from Keynes to Lincoln. Bullshit Jobs gives individuals, corporations, and societies permission to undergo a shift in values, placing creative and caring work at the center of our culture. This book is for everyone who wants to turn their vocation back into an avocation.

Betafo, a rural community in central Madagascar, is divided between the descendants of nobles and descendants of slaves. Anthropologist David Graeber arrived for fieldwork at the height of tensions attributed to a disastrous communal ordeal two years earlier. As Graeber uncovers the layers of historical, social, and cultural knowledge required to understand this event, he elaborates a new view of power, inequality, and the political role of narrative. Combining theoretical subtlety, a compelling narrative line, and vividly drawn characters, Lost People is a singular contribution to the anthropology of politics and the literature on ethnographic writing.

It’s the Political Economy, Stupid brings together internationally acclaimed artists and thinkers, including Slavoj Žižek, David Graeber, Judith Butler and Brian Holmes, to focus on the current economic crisis in a sustained and critical manner.In sympathy with the subject matter, the book features powerful original artwork for the cover, and an internal design theme based on the movements of Goldman Sachs stock market values by activist designer Noel Douglas. What emerges is a powerful critique of the current capitalist crisis through an analytical and theoretical response and an aesthetic-cultural rejoinder. By combining artistic responses with the analysis of leading radical theorists, the book expands the boundaries of critique beyond the usual discourse.It’s the Political Economy, Stupid argues that it is time to push back against the dictates of the capitalist logic and, by use of both theoretical and artistic means, launch a rescue of the very notion of the social.

From the quintessential author of wartime Germany, A Time to Love and a Time to Die echoes the harrowing insights of his masterpiece All Quiet on the Western Front.   After two years at the Russian front, Ernst Graeber finally receives three weeks’ leave. But since leaves have been canceled before, he decides not to write his parents, fearing he would just raise their hopes.   Then, when Graeber arrives home, he finds his house bombed to ruin and his parents nowhere in sight. Nobody knows if they are dead or alive. As his leave draws to a close, Graeber reaches out to Elisabeth, a childhood friend. Like him, she is imprisoned in a world she did not create. But in a time of war, love seems a world away. And sometimes, temporary comfort can lead to something unexpected and redeeming.   “The world has a great writer in Erich Maria Remarque. He is a craftsman of unquestionably first rank, a man who can bend language to his will. Whether he writes of men or of inanimate nature, his touch is sensitive, firm, and sure.”—The New York Times Book Review

Bullshit Jobs: A Theory Hardcover May 15, 2018by David Graeber (author)

Durante generaciones hemos visto a nuestros antepasados más remotos como seres primitivos, ingenuos y violentos. Se nos ha dicho que solo era posible alcanzar la civilización sacrificando libertades o domesticando nuestros instintos. En este ensayo, los reconocidos antropólogos David Graeber y David Wengrow demuestran que estas concepciones, que surgieron en el siglo xviii, fueron una reacción conservadora de la sociedad europea ante las críticas de los intelectuales indígenas y que no tienen un aval antropológico y arqueológico. En el rastreo de esta falsa línea de pensamiento, este libro defiende que las comunidades de la prehistoria eran mucho más cambiantes de lo que se ha pensado; un planteamiento que desarticula los relatos fundacionales más arraigados, desde el desarrollo de las ciudades hasta los orígenes del Estado, la desigualdad o la democracia. El amanecer de todo es una nueva historia de la humanidad, un texto combativo que transforma nuestra comprensión del pasado y abre camino para imaginar nuevas formas de organización social. Una obra monumental que cuestiona las ideas de pensadores como Jared Diamond, Francis Fukuyama y Yuval Noah Harari. Porque la suposición de que las sociedades se vuelven menos igualitarias y libres a medida que se hacen más complejas y civilizadas no es más que un mito. á
