Bringing together the work of anthropologists and historians, this volume, first published in 1984, challenges the notion that interests and emotions are polar opposites, and questions how far the history of the family in Europe and America can be organized around the central trend of 'sentimentalization'.

This landmark study of family relations in a village in southern Germany is the product of deep reflection on anthropological approaches to historical problems.

Space and Self thus sets the terms for current discussion of these topics and provides new approaches to studying their cultural specificity.
