Description for Trusting and its Tribulations: Interdisciplinary Engagements with Intimacy, Sociality and Trust
Hardback. Editor(s): Broch-Due, Vigdis; Ystanes, Margit. Num Pages: 294 pages, black & white illustrations. BIC Classification: JFFP. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 161 x 237 x 21. Weight in Grams: 558.
Despite its immense significance and ubiquity in our everyday lives, the complex workings of trust are poorly understood and theorized. This volume explores trust and mistrust amidst locally situated scenes of sociality and intimacy. Because intimacy has often been taken for granted as the foundation of trust relations, the ethnographies presented here challenge us to think about dangerous intimacies, marked by mistrust, as well as forms of trust that cohere through non-intimate forms of sociality.
