This book was released on 2020-12-26 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Entrevistas a Denise Arnold, Bruno Latour, Marcio Goldman, Pedro Pitarch, Eduardo Viveiros de CastroConversar Mundos es una compilación de cinco entrevistas, a una antropóloga y cuatro antropólogos, que presenta puntos de vista particulares sobre asuntos comunes: la importancia de la etnografía en el quehacer antropológico, el lugar de la comparación, las consecuencias de la renovación de la etnología amazónica, las ideas del "giro ontológico" y las implicancias intelectuales -y existenciales- de la actual crisis ecológica mundial. Conversar Mundos es también una provocación: la apuesta a montar una polifonía de voces para traducir estos temas a diferentes lenguas y acentos, como un ejemplo más del interminable esfuerzo antropológico para encontrar palabras que hagan conversar mundos -mientras los mundos no dejan de contrainterpretar a las palabras. Así, estas conversaciones enfatizan que la dimensión empírica de la antropología no se define por oposición a su dimensión especulativa: la "imaginación conceptual" tal vez sea otra forma de nombrar aquellas conexiones parciales -entre ideas, intuiciones, circulaciones, emociones- que describen y hacen posible toda "teoría etnográfica".

This book was released on 2022-02-21 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Qué significa ser humano en un mundo en el que las fronteras entre cultura y naturaleza son cada vez más porosas? ¿Qué prácticas éticas son posibles cuando se reconoce el papel que los no humanos desempeñan en la constitución de este y de otros mundos? En antropología, la aproximación a estas preguntas se presenta como un conjunto de posturas teóricas y metodológicas denominado giro ontológico. Este libro compila una variedad de perspectivas teóricas y etnográficas que matizan e incluso polemizan los fundamentos y alcances de este giro. Desde pieles animales que actúan como membranas protectoras contra las emanaciones peligrosas de los tesoros enterrados, procedimientos chamanísticospara restablecer el equilibrio cósmico de cuerpos y lugares, pasando por esculturas que actualizan duelos provocados por las acciones más cruentas de la guerra, tecnologías sonoras que transgreden géneros y prácticas musicales, hasta la emergencia de órganos anatómicos abiertos a la sensibilidad de manos que no están entrena- das para percibirlos, los textos de este volumen nos invitan a reflexionar sobre el tipo de realidades que se conjuran una vez que se desestabiliza la escisión ontológica entre naturaleza y cultura.
Book Synopsis Nunca fuimos modernos by : Bruno Latour
Download or read book Nunca fuimos modernos written by Bruno Latour and published by Siglo XXI Editores. This book was released on 2022-05-20 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contaminación de los ríos, embriones congelados, coronavirus, sida, agujero de ozono, robots... ¿Cómo comprender estos "objetos" extraños que invaden nuestro mundo? ¿Proceden de la naturaleza o de la cultura? Hasta aquí, las cosas eran simples: para los científicos, la gestión de esta división tradicional del trabajo no puede explicar la proliferación de híbridos. De ahí el sentimiento de pavor que generan y que los filósofos contemporáneos no consiguen disipar. ¿Y si hubiéramos tomado el camino errado? De hecho, nuestra sociedad moderna nunca funcionó de acuerdo a la gran división que sustenta su sistema de representación del mundo: la que opone radicalmente la naturaleza a la cultura. En la práctica, los modernos no dejaron de crear objetos híbridos, que proceden tanto de la una como de la otra y que se niegan a pensar. Nunca fuimos verdaderamente modernos, y hoy en día, para comprender nuestro mundo, hay que cuestionar ese paradigma fundador. Traducido a más de veinte lenguas, Nunca fuimos modernos renovó profundamente los debates de la antropología porque modificó por completo la división entre naturaleza en singular y culturas en plural. Al ofrecer una alternativa al posmodernismo, Bruno Latour abrió nuevos campos de investigación y brindó a la ecología posibilidades políticas inéditas.

Book Synopsis Una antropologia alterada por la alteridad by : Philippe Descola
Download or read book Una antropologia alterada por la alteridad written by Philippe Descola and published by Rumbo Sur. This book was released on 2021-01-06 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lévi-Strauss, quien suele ser considerado políticamente como un conservador y que en 1937 aún era marxista, desarrolló la idea de que la antropología es revolucionaria porque nos permite vernos a nosotros a través de los ojos de los demás y así nos permite entender que el curso que la civilización occidental y el capitalismo industrial han seguido no es el único posible. Otras civilizaciones, otras culturas han escogido otras formas de vivir que no pueden ser transpuestas por analogía, porque ninguna experiencia histórica puede ser transpuesta. Estas otras formas de vivir pueden ser un estímulo para pensar alternativas para reformarnos o transformarnos, ya que otros han escogido o han seleccionado vivir en mundos muy distintos de los nuestros. El paso por la alteridad que permite la antropología es, en este sentido, absolutamente fundamental.Philippe Descola Acerca de la ColecciónEn el seno de la colección ethnographica, Palabra reversa edita entrevistas, diálogos, compilaciones de artículos y ensayos que exponen reflexiones antropológicas derivadas de experiencias de trabajo de campo. Durante la práctica etnográfica, los antropólogos se ven confrontados con diversas y variadas maneras de habitar el mundo, cuya comprensión transmiten luego a través de sus propios significados. La instancia de la escritura opera como una recreación imaginativa (Strathern 2014) de los efectos de dicha práctica. La escritura se muestra, así, como un lugar de pasaje. Ella transmite una experiencia etnográfica que oscila entre la identificación y la alteridad, y en esa oscilación se construyen y reconstruyen sentidos. La serie Palabra reversa intenta dar cuenta de la potencia de la etnografía para desplegar y ofrecer otros modos de vida, otras formas del pensamiento, otras miradas del mundo.https: //www.rumbosur.org/ethnographica/Acerca del autorPhilippe Descola es un etnólogo y antropólogo francés, dirige la cátedra creada por Claude Lévi-Strauss en el Collège de France que hoy se llama "Antropología de la naturaleza". Fue director del Laboratoire d'anthropologie sociale del Collège de France, profesor de la École des hautes études en sciences sociales de París y profesor invitado a múltiples universidades del mundo. Su experiencia etnográfica en un grupo indígena de la Amazonía ecuatoriana, los achuar, su proyección teórica y su elocuente erudición lo convirtieron en una de las figuras emblemáticas de la antropología contemporánea. Entre sus libros se destacan La selva culta (1986) -fruto de su investigación etnográfica acerca de los modos en que los achuar se vinculan con el entorno-; Las lanzas del crepúsculo (1993) que constituye una etnografía reflexiva que muestra el funcionamiento cotidiano de una investigación de campo; Más allá de naturaleza y cultura (2005) -obra magistral sobre las relaciones entre humanos y no-humanos- y La fábrica de las imágenes (2010) -fruto de su ambición de verificar si, en las formas de figuración, podían encontrarse los contrastes presentes en las diversas ontologías desarrolladas en Más allá de naturaleza y cultura.
Book Synopsis Cultural Materialism by : Marvin Harris
Download or read book Cultural Materialism written by Marvin Harris and published by AltaMira Press. This book was released on 2001-08-28 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural Materialism, published in 1979, was Marvin Harris's first full-length explication of the theory with which his work has been associated. While Harris has developed and modified some of his ideas over the past two decades, generations of professors have looked to this volume as the essential starting point for explaining the science of culture to students. Now available again after a hiatus, this edition of Cultural Materialism contains the complete text of the original book plus a new introduction by Orna and Allen Johnson that updates his ideas and examines the impact that the book and theory have had on anthropological theorizing.
Book Synopsis World Anthropologies by : Gustavo Lins Ribeiro
Download or read book World Anthropologies written by Gustavo Lins Ribeiro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-13 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.
Book Synopsis A defence of armed Art/Struggle by : Óscar Guardiola-Rivera
Download or read book A defence of armed Art/Struggle written by Óscar Guardiola-Rivera and published by Editorial Tadeo Lozano. This book was released on 2019-08-16 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Such obsessive antinomian attitude and constraint, which I have provocatively termed “armed” struggle in the way to (rather than as the opposite of) peace, present as spirit, collective effervescence, combat, or phantasm in institutionalizing or constitutive rituals (exemplified by the oath by sceptre episode in classical literature, and often imagined as an original “contract” authorized by a generic “will” that legitimates law in modern literature), is represented under the political economy of the industrial-colonial regime in a state of suspension or “emergency”. In this respect, as suggested above, the “state of emergency” that according to Benjamin has become the rule isn’t the consequence of violence. On the contrary, it’s the attempt to suspend combat, to externally impose upon peoples a fictive unity (the unity of their ‘needs’) and to extract from peoples their ability to use force as well as do battle against the sovereign.
Book Synopsis The Ends of the World by : Déborah Danowski
Download or read book The Ends of the World written by Déborah Danowski and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-12-20 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The end of the world is a seemingly interminable topic Ð at least, of course, until it happens. Environmental catastrophe and planetary apocalypse are subjects of enduring fascination and, as ethnographic studies show, human cultures have approached them in very different ways. Indeed, in the face of the growing perception of the dire effects of global warming, some of these visions have been given a new lease on life. Information and analyses concerning the human causes and the catastrophic consequences of the planetary ‘crisis’ have been accumulating at an ever-increasing rate, mobilising popular opinion as well as academic reflection. In this book, philosopher Déborah Danowski and anthropologist Eduardo Viveiros de Castro offer a bold overview and interpretation of these current discourses on ‘the end of the world’, reading them as thought experiments on the decline of the West’s anthropological adventure Ð that is, as attempts, though not necessarily intentional ones, at inventing a mythology that is adequate to the present. This work has important implications for the future development of ecological practices and it will appeal to a broad audience interested in contemporary anthropology, philosophy, and environmentalism.
Book Synopsis Archeology of Violence, new edition by : Pierre Clastres
Download or read book Archeology of Violence, new edition written by Pierre Clastres and published by Semiotext(e). This book was released on 2010-10-08 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clastres's final, posthumous book on the affirmative role of violence in “primitive societies.” The war machine is the motor of the social machine; the primitive social being relies entirely on war, primitive society cannot survive without war. The more war there is, the less unification there is, and the best enemy of the State is war. Primitive society is society against the State in that it is society-for-war.—from the Archeology of Violence Anthropologist and ethnographer Pierre Clastres was a major influence on Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari's Anti-Oedipus, and his writings formed an essential chapter in the discipline of political anthropology. The posthumous publication in French of Archeology of Violence in 1980 gathered together Clastres's final groundbreaking essays and the opening chapters of the book he had begun before his death in 1977 at the age of 43. Elaborating upon the conclusions of such earlier works as Society Against the State, in these essays Clastres critiques his former mentor, Claude Lévi-Strauss, and devastatingly rejects the orthodoxy of Marxist anthropology and other Western interpretive models of “primitive societies.” Discarding the traditional anthropological understanding of war among South American Indians as arising from a scarcity of resources, Clastres instead identifies violence among these peoples as a deliberate means to territorial segmentation and the avoidance of a State formation. In their refusal to separate the political from the social, and in their careful control of their tribal chiefs—who are rendered weak so as to remain dependent on the communities they represent—the “savages” Clastres presents prove to be shrewd political minds who resist in advance any attempt at “globalization.”The essays in this, Clastres's final book, cover subjects ranging from ethnocide and shamanism to “primitive” power and economy, and are as vibrant and engaging as they were thirty years ago. This new edition—which includes an introduction by Eduardo Viverios de Castro—holds even more relevance for readers in today's an era of malaise and globalization.
Book Synopsis Cholas and Pishtacos by : Mary Weismantel
Download or read book Cholas and Pishtacos written by Mary Weismantel and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2001-12-15 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2003 Senior Book Prize from the American Ethnological Society. Cholas and Pishtacos are two provocative characters from South American popular culture—a sensual mixed-race woman and a horrifying white killerwho show up in everything from horror stories and dirty jokes to romantic novels and travel posters. In this elegantly written book, these two figures become vehicles for an exploration of race, sex, and violence that pulls the reader into the vivid landscapes and lively cities of the Andes. Weismantel's theory of race and sex begins not with individual identity but with three forms of social and economic interaction: estrangement, exchange, and accumulation. She maps the barriers that separate white and Indian, male and female-barriers that exist not in order to prevent exchange, but rather to exacerbate its inequality. Weismantel weaves together sources ranging from her own fieldwork and the words of potato sellers, hotel maids, and tourists to classic works by photographer Martin Chambi and novelist José María Arguedas. Cholas and Pishtacos is also an enjoyable and informative introduction to a relatively unknown region of the Americas.

Book Synopsis Tourism Imaginaries by : Noel B. Salazar
Download or read book Tourism Imaginaries written by Noel B. Salazar and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2014-06-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is hard to imagine tourism without the creative use of seductive, as well as restrictive, imaginaries about peoples and places. These socially shared assemblages are collaboratively produced and consumed by a diverse range of actors around the globe. As a nexus of social practices through which individuals and groups establish places and peoples as credible objects of tourism, “tourism imaginaries” have yet to be fully explored. Presenting innovative conceptual approaches, this volume advances ethnographic research methods and critical scholarship regarding tourism and the imaginaries that drive it. The various authors contribute methodologically as well as conceptually to anthropology’s grasp of the images, forces, and encounters of the contemporary world.
