Book Synopsis The Anthropology of Latin America and the Caribbean by : Harry Sanabria
Download or read book The Anthropology of Latin America and the Caribbean written by Harry Sanabria and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-09-16 with total page 571 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first single-authored comprehensive introduction to major contemporary research trends, issues, and debates on the anthropology of Latin America and the Caribbean. The text provides wide and historically informed coverage of key facets of Latin American and Caribbean societies and their cultural and historical development as well as the roles of power and inequality. Cymeme Howe, Visiting Assistant Professor of Cornell University writes, “The text moves well and builds over time, paying close attention to balancing both the Caribbean and Latin America as geographic regions, Spanish and non-Spanish speaking countries, and historical and contemporary issues in the field. I found the geographic breadth to be especially impressive.” Jeffrey W. Mantz of California State University, Stanislaus, notes that the contents “reflect the insights of an anthropologist who knows Latin America intimately and extensively.”

Book Synopsis The Anthropology of Marriage in Lowland South America by : Paul Valentine
Download or read book The Anthropology of Marriage in Lowland South America written by Paul Valentine and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2017-05-09 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Foremost scholars of indigenous Amazonia explore the vast and interesting gap between rules and practice, demonstrating how sociocultural systems endure and even prosper due to the flexibility, creativity, and resilience of the people within them."--Jeremy M. Campbell, author of Conjuring Property: Speculation and Environmental Futures in the Brazilian Amazon "A landmark volume and a major contribution to the study of kinship and marriage in Amazonian societies, an area of the world that has been pivotal to our understanding of the biocultural dimensions of cousin marriage and polygamy."--Nancy E. Levine, author of The Dynamics of Polyandry: Kinship, Domesticity, and Population on the Tibetan Border This volume reveals that individuals in Amazonian cultures often disregard or reinterpret the marriage rules of their societies—rules that anthropologists previously thought reflected practice. It is the first book to consider not just what the rules are but how people in these societies negotiate, manipulate, and break them in choosing whom to marry. Using ethnographic case studies that draw on previously unpublished material from well-known indigenous cultures, The Anthropology of Marriage in Lowland South America defies the tendency to focus only on the social structure of kinship and marriage that is so common in kinship studies. Instead, the contributors to this volume examine the people that conform to or deviate from that structure and their reasons for doing so. They look not only at deviations in kinship behavior motivated by gender, economics, politics, history, ecology, and sentimentality but also at how globalization and modernization are changing the ancestral norms and values themselves. This is a richly diverse portrayal of agency and individual choice alongside normative kinship and marriage systems in a region that has long been central to anthropological studies of indigenous life. Paul Valentine is professor emeritus of anthropology at the University of East London. Stephen Beckerman is adjunct professor at the University of Utah. Together, Valentine and Beckerman have coedited Revenge in the Cultures of Lowland South America and Cultures of Multiple Fathers: The Theory and Practice of Partible Paternity in Lowland South America. Catherine Alès is director of research at the National Center for Scientific Research, Paris, and is the author of Yanomami, l’ire et le désir.
Book Synopsis Research in Latin America by : Marie Lissette Canavesi Rimbaud
Download or read book Research in Latin America written by Marie Lissette Canavesi Rimbaud and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-09-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research in Latin America in the 21st century, by a field anthropologist, studies socio-cultural processes, which denote the diverse practices of human groups in places that can be exotic or not, present in different political contexts. Generally, countries, through their national bodies and international organizations, hire field anthropologists, independent consultants, who became the "Field of the Balance" between the human groups that are studied and the national policies in the different countries, as well as the policies of the organizations that support the financing of actions aimed at these human groups. The anthropologist as a subject of knowledge and mediator between cultures, when carrying out fieldwork handles different flexible and fundamental tools that go hand in hand with participant and distance observation. It can be said that the field anthropologist is the one who carries out the study par excellence of the habitus between politics and culture. In this case, as a mother, university professor and field anthropologist consultant, life was very complex, but I never stopped having adventurous situations. To our reader, I wish that you can feel how wonderful the profession of a field anthropologist is, of being able to know different cultures that teach us their values, human beings that rise from poverty and bring up their families and the different lifestyles, which make you think which culture is more valid, the one that respects the world and the environment, or the one that is destroying it over time through consumerism. I hope that when reading these pages, the reader can transport themselves to the field work of this anthropologist, who committed herself in body and soul to the profession, because she wanted to change inequity, and make the invisible ones visible.

Book Synopsis Mapping a New Museum by : Laura Osorio Sunnucks
Download or read book Mapping a New Museum written by Laura Osorio Sunnucks and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-20 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mapping a New Museum seeks to rethink the museum’s role in today’s politically conscious world. Presenting a selection of innovative projects that have taken place in Latin America over the last year, the book begins to map out possibilities for the future of the global museum. The projects featured within the pages of this book were all supported by The Santo Domingo Centre of Excellence for Latin American Research (SDCELAR) at the British Museum (BM), with the aim of making the BM’s Latin American collections meaningful to communities in the region and others worldwide. These projects illustrate how communities manage cultural heritage and, taken together, they suggest that there is also no all-encompassing counter-narrative that can be used to "decolonise" museums. Reflecting on, and experimenting with, the ways that research happens within museum collections, the interdisciplinary collaborations described within these pages have used collections to tell stories that destabilise societal assumptions, whilst also proactively seeking out that which has historically been overlooked. The result is, the book argues, a research environment that challenges intellectual orthodoxy and values critical and alternative forms of knowledge. Mapping a New Museum contains English and Spanish versions of every chapter, which enables the book to put critical stress on the self-referentiality of Anglophone literature in the field of museum anthropology. The book will be essential reading for students, scholars and museum practitioners working around the world.
