@book{2026:behnam_shad:the_sortin, title = {The Sorting of Humanity: Schemata and Practices of Human Differentiation}, year = {2026}, note = {Human differentiation encompasses human classification and categorization processes that we encounter on a daily basis. Klaus Behnam Shad offers a new framework of human differentiation that emphasizes social complexity and intersectionality. Uniquely integrating systems theory with political, psychological, and biological anthropology, this systemic-anthropological approach firmly rejects culturalizing, moralizing, and ideologizing stances that claim a supposed superiority. This provides valuable insights into group-based differentiation processes that would otherwise remain inscrutable.}, edition = {1}, publisher = {transcript}, address = {Bielefeld}, series = {Culture & Theory}, volume = {303}, author = {Behnam Shad, Klaus} }
