Download or read book El antropólogo y el mundo global written by Marc Augé and published by Siglo XXI Editores. This book was released on 2019-11-22 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hubo un tiempo en que los antropólogos se dedicaron a estudiar las relaciones sociales en grupos y contextos reducidos, como en sus comienzos lo hiciera Boas con los indios de la costa oeste de los Estados Unidos, y más tarde Malinowski con los habitantes de las islas Tobriand, frente a Nueva Guinea. Pero todos sabemos que el mundo ha cambiado rápidamente desde entonces, y con él, también nuestras existencias individuales y colectivas. Hoy el "observador" forma parte de aquellos a quienes observa, ya que el contexto se ha vuelto planetario. En este esperado libro, Marc Augé, uno de los intelectuales franceses más destacados en la actualidad, recorre sus experiencias como etnólogo y antropólogo (sus primeras investigaciones en las tierras de África y América, sus posteriores reflexiones sobre la modernidad tardía), para hablarnos del otro y dar cuenta, a la vez, de este cambio de escala. En su propia historia, nos propone Augé, se puede leer la historia de la disciplina, sus transformaciones y derivas. Así, con una agudeza sin concesiones y un estilo tan lúcido como ameno, estas páginas resultan un ejercicio de intervención crítica sobre el mundo contemporáneo y nosotros mismos. Las nuevas tecnologías, las grandes metrópolis, la proliferación de ámbitos de circulación, de consumo y de comunicación han cambiado radicalmente nuestra percepción y producido, por ende, otras formas de subjetividad que reclaman una mirada antropológica de esta naturaleza. Con el tono de quien hace un balance necesario para ir más allá, Augé pone en acto una antropología de la globalización capaz de reflexionar sobre sí misma y, a la vez, de acometer la tarea mayor de echar luz sobre las modernas sociedades occidentales.

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".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La desilusión de la imagen. Arqueología, cuerpo(s) y mirada(s), plantea que las imágenes son vínculos entre distintas épocas y culturas, son síntomas e indicios que dejan huellas en el imaginario cultural. Son la elegíaca memoria como musa que deambula por los tiempos pero fuera de los tiempos (genealogía) o, en otros términos, las imágenes son Mnemosyne, es decir, la musa de todas las musas. Una arqueología de la imagen, implica considerar a la imagen desde la intermedialidad (entre-medios), los cuerpos y las miradas. Concebirla desde una crítica de la cultura en una contemporaneidad atravesada por la crisis. La pregunta ¿qué son las imágenes? que se formula desde la debilidad de cierta inocencia de la escritura, adquiere toda su dimensión desde el momento en que se confunde imagen con visualidad o imagen con medios audiovisuales, dejando por el camino todos los restos de imágenes que no son visuales. Aún más, ese debate se torna más complejo, cuando en su trasfondo está la «memoria» del holocausto (o de los holocaustos); las imágenes de la crisis política, económica y social o los miles de refugiados, en la paradigmática imagen de un niño muerto en la playa, deambulando por geografías europeas. La imagen es, en efecto, «nómada», viaja por territorios y culturas. Entonces, la inocencia de la pregunta se transforma en la imagen frágil de los que no tienen imagen. «La propuesta de Víctor Silva Echeto, es una de las mejor articuladas que conozco para pensar posibles alternativas a la situación de impasse a que parece abocarnos el mundo contemporáneo.» JENARO TALENS (escritor).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesús Martín-Barbero es conocido como el «maestro» de los estudios sobre Juventud y el gran especialista en cultura popular. Además, es considerado uno de los mayores expertos a nivel internacional en temas de comunicación, unos de los principales fundadores de los estudios comunicacionales y el autor de la Teoría de la mediación. Es el autor de referencia internacional para los análisis sobre sujetos juveniles y protagonismo social, palimpsestos de identidad, desafíos de la juventud, educación de los jóvenes, mundo digital y transformaciones de la subjetividad. Sus aportes en los estudios sobre la globalización y en la relación entre medios de comunicación y público le han proyectado como uno de los autores más sugestivos y relevantes de la intelectualidad crítica latinoamericana. En las dos últimas décadas, Jesús Martín-Barbero ha recopilado una serie de estimulantes textos sobre los jóvenes, reunidos ahora en este libro. La mayor parte de ellos giran en torno a dos conceptos centrales que el autor utiliza de manera metafórica y que se reflejan en el título. El palimsesto hace referencia a los antiguos pergaminos y remite a la constante rescritura y reciclaje que las culturas juveniles hacen del pasado. El hipertexto, por el contrario, nos conduce a las modernas ciberculturas y a las novedosas formas de comunicación a través de las cuales los jóvenes imaginan el futuro. Este uso creativo sobre ambos conceptos ha tenido un gran impacto en los estudios culturales y sobre la juventud en el ámbito iberoamericano.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To Write What one Could Not Tell Anyone You who live in all tranquility So warm and comfortable in your houses, You who come home at night to find The table laid and friendly faces around you, Consider if this is a man, He who toils in the mud, Who knows no rest, Who fights for a crust of bread, Who dies for the slightest reason. Consider if this is a woman, She who has lost her name and her hair, And even the strength to remember, Her gaze blank and her bosom chilled, Like a frog in winter. Do not forget that this happened, No, do not forget it: Engrave these words in your heart. Think of them in your home, in the street, When you sleep, when you rise; Repeat them to your children. Or else your house will crumble, You will be overcome by illness, And your children will turn away from you (Levi 1987:9, the translations is mine). At Auschwitz, Filip Müller was assigned to the Sonderkommando. Every day, with his fellow prisoners, he emptied the gas chambers of their piles of defiled corpses and loaded them into the crematorium furnaces of the extermination camp.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a detailed and comprehensive description of the Gitano community of Mexico City. The ethnographic study showcases the interplay between cultural reproduction, economic reproduction, and the Gitano / non-Gitano opposition. The first part of the book discusses how the cultural identity of this community is reproduced based on migratory processes, social relations and the dynamics of kinship and gender roles to understand the contradiction between value systems and practices in a patriarchal society. In the second part, emphasis is placed on the economic dynamism of this group in its interactions with the majority society in the context of informal economy and the group’s articulation with space and mobility in the territory. The analysis problematizes territorial mobility and circulation regimes based on fieldwork carried out in the process of active participation with Gitano families selling textile clothes and accessories through the country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Mediterranean in the Age of Globalization is a welcome corrective to the tendency to present globalization as a homogenous concept, and the failure to describe how it operates in specific regions. Ribas-Mateos examines globalization and migration across the Mediterranean, using an innovative, integrated framework so as to map social places by describing how social, political, cultural, and economic forces are embedded within a globalizing environment.The author articulates an original and compelling narrative, mapping the Mediterranean as a global place where international and regional forces are intertwined in multiple threads. In doing so, she identifies two key components of globalization--affecting specifically forms of welfare and issues of mobility--in the context of a weakening European welfare state and the relocation and reinforcement of Mediterranean borders. Nine Mediterranean cities are investigated as ""gateway"" cities, which shape two major effects of globalization: welfare and mobility. The book challenges conventional North-South perspectives, and focuses and systematizes the way international migration should be conceptualized.The originality of the book results from the author's fieldwork, which is rich in descriptive detail, and from a theory centered around global perspectives. Seven case studies in Southern Europe--Algeciras, Athens, Barcelona, Lisbon, Naples, Turin, and Thrace--deal with issues related to migration and the welfare state. She also includes two ethnographies that represent two Mediterranean gateways in the North-South Mediterranean division: Tangiers (in Morocco) and Durres (in Albania), which are mapped as border-cities in the global Mediterranean context. Because of its intrinsically multidisciplinary nature, this superb volume will be of particular interest to academics and social science researchers as well as policymakers and international agencies."

Download or read book Mobility and Globalization in the Aftermath of COVID-19 written by Maximiliano E. Korstanje and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-14 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that COVID-19 revives a much deeper climate of terror which was instilled by terrorism and the War on Terror originally declared by Bush's administration in 2001. It discusses critically not only the consequences of COVID-19 on our daily lives but also “the end of hospitality”, at least as we know it. Since COVID-19 started spreading across the globe, it affected not only the tourism industry but also ground global trade to a halt. Governments adopted restrictive measures to stop the spread of the virus, including the closure of borders, and airspace, the introduction of strict lockdowns and social distancing, much of which led to large-scale cancellations of international and domestic flights. This book explores how global tourists, who were largely considered ambassadors of democratic and prosperous societies in the pre-pandemic days, have suddenly become undesired guests.

This book was released on 2021-06-04 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a decade that has seen the rise of far-right extremism, Western countries still face myriad threats of mass violence, including terrorism. Of particular concern is the phenomenon of “lone-wolf terrorism,” whereby acts of political violence are committed by individuals who are operating independently of any organized terrorist group, something which makes them inherently more difficult to identify in advance of an attack. Now there is a need for research that profiles these perpetrators, explores the incidents that occur, and analyzes the shifting changes in mass violence, technology, and terrorist behavior in modern times. Mitigating Mass Violence and Managing Threats in Contemporary Society explores the shifting definitions and implications of mass violence and covers important areas focused on the individuals who partake in these acts as well as weapon choice and the influence of weapon accessibility, how the attention-seeking behavior and promotion of violent actions is evolving, and how technology is used such as disseminating a manifesto prior to the incidents or using live streaming to broadcast incidents of mass violence as they transpire. The book also examines ways to prevent these incidents before they occur, which is a proven challenge with no single accurate profile for offenders, and whether perpetrators of mass violence share similar goals and motivations for their sprees, as well as commonalities in warning behaviors. This comprehensive research work is essential for law enforcement, military officials, defense specialists, national security experts, criminologists, psychologists, government officials, policymakers, lawmakers, professionals, practitioners, academicians, students, and researchers working in the fields of conflict analysis and resolution, crisis management, law enforcement, mental health, education, psychology, sociology, criminology, criminal justice, terrorism, and other social sciences.

Download or read book The Sustainable City XII written by C.A. Brebbia and published by WIT Press. This book was released on 2017-12-20 with total page 615 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grouping a selection of papers from the 12th International Conference on Urban Regeneration and Sustainability, this book refers to all aspects of urban environment and provides solutions that lead towards sustainability. The series maintains its strong reputation and a substantial number of contributions have been made from a diverse range of transnational delegates, resulting in a variety of topics and experiences. Urban areas face a number of challenges related to reducing pollution, improving main transportation and infrastructure systems and these challenges can contribute to the development of social and economic imbalances and require the development of new solutions. The challenge is to manage human activities, pursuing welfare and prosperity in the urban environment, whilst considering the relationships between the parts and their connections with the living world. The dynamics of its networks (flows of energy matter, people, goods, information and other resources) are fundamental for an understanding of the evolving nature of today’s cities. Large cities represent a productive ground for architects, engineers, city planners, social and political scientists able to conceive new ideas and time them according to technological advances and human requirements. The multidisciplinary components of urban planning, the challenges presented by the increasing size of cities, the amount of resources required and the complexity of modern society are all addressed. The published papers cover the following fields: Urban strategies; Planning, development and management; The community and the city; Infrastructure and society; Eco-town planning; Spatial conflicts in the city; Urban transportation and planning; Conservation and regeneration; Architectural issues; Sustainable energy and the city; Environmental management; Flood risk; Waste management; Urban air pollution; Health issues; Water resources; Landscape planning and design; Intelligent environment; Planning for risk and natural hazards; Waterfront development; Case studies.

Download or read book Principles of an Epistemology of Values written by Marià Corbí and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-12 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the need to create an “axiological epistemology”. This term refers to knowledge of what is axiological, i.e. everything related to human values, and the know-how on how to manage the study of values. In knowledge societies, we know and live axiological projects that we do not receive from anyone, but that we must construct ourselves in a situation of continuous change. In view of the fact that the axiological crisis in which we are immersed is the most serious one that humanity has suffered over its long history, the seriousness and urgency of the issue in question is evident. Adequate knowledge is required to solve this problem, which is at the root of all the problems we are experiencing. This work offers a potential solution that, in contrast to the past, cannot be definitive, but must be transformed throughout the continuous changes to ways of life as a result of technoscience. It will prove of great value to all those who must operate within human values and motivate groups, as well as to those interested in spirituality.
