Beschreibung
Based on fieldwork in the Romanian village of Sateni, this book offers an ethnographic, interdisciplinary interpretation of social interactions in a low trust society. Radu Umbres makes sense of the villagers' worldview, one divided between strong moral relationships and deep suspicion towards the rest of the village society.

Über den Autor
Radu Umbres is an anthropologist fusing ethnographic research with cognitive approaches to morality, cooperation, and communication. He studied Sociology at the University of Bucharest and the University of Oxford, followed by a PhD in Anthropology at University College London after two years of fieldwork in a Romanian village. After postdoctoral fellowships at Institut Jean Nicod, Paris and New Europe College, he currently teaches at National School of Political and Administrative Studies Bucharest. His recent work focuses on apparently-irrational cultural imitation in cargo cults, the mechanisms of social initiation by pranking, and revisiting other classical themes in anthropology from a cognitive perspective.
