Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage collectif s'interroge sur l'implication et la préoccupation éthique, deux concepts qui se trouvent au cœur des pratiques de terrain des anthropologues. Ce recueil n'a nullement l'intention de redéfinir, une fois de plus, les enjeux globaux de la discipline.

Book Synopsis Sustainable Dwelling by : Gérald Ledent
Download or read book Sustainable Dwelling written by Gérald Ledent and published by Presses universitaires de Louvain. This book was released on 2020-01-23 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the social and spatial dimensions of dwelling from the perspective of sustainability. This publication avoids the traditional energy and technological dimensions of sustainability to position the notion of sustainable dwelling at the crossroads of spatial polyvalence and residents' empowerment. In the field of housing, this publication identifies the recurrent properties of 'sustainable space’ and the variety of the socio-cultural practices that can embody them. Its purpose is to comprehend how the concept of sustainability is reflected in housing spaces as well as to analyse how inhabitants put those spaces to the test.
Book Synopsis Engager l'anthropologie pour le développement et le changement social by : Sten Hagberg
Download or read book Engager l'anthropologie pour le développement et le changement social written by Sten Hagberg and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2013 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present APAD Bulletin contains a selection of papers presented at the APAD 2010 Conference in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, on the theme "Engaging Anthropology for Development and Social Change: Practices, Discourses and Ethics." Anthropological engagements face important challenges at the interface of research and development. The different ways by which anthropologists take on societal problems - either in their research capacity, as development experts, as activists, or as citizen - are inscribed in a longstanding debate. In this APAD Bulletin, the contributors deal with the central questions of how and under which conditions anthropology engages with society. The papers range from epistemological reflections and methodological queries to the anthropology of per diem and of public health, as well as to practical problems confronting anthropologists engaged in development cooperation. [PLEASE NOTE: This volume's Introduction is in English text. The remaining text is French language text only. There is no English translation.] (Series: APAD Bulletin - Vol. 34)
Book Synopsis Du missionnaire à l'anthropologue by :
Download or read book Du missionnaire à l'anthropologue written by and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2012 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'engouement du public pour les écrits missionnaires, les journaux ou les récits de voyage alimente de nos jours toute une politique de réédition. Anthropologues et historiens découvrent ou redécouvrent avec un grand intérêt les ressources ethnohistoriques et ethnolinguistiques des journaux de bord tenus par les missionnaires européens ou indigènes, catéchistes ou évangélistes. répondant tantôt à la demande d'information de l'autorité institutionnelle de leur congrégation, tantôt à leur propre quête et curiosité. De la traduction de la Bible en langue vernaculaire à la production de traités savants sur la parenté ou la religion primitive, en passant par l'élaboration érudite de dictionnaires, de nombreux missionnaires ethnologues ont apporté une contribution majeure à l'émergence de la discipline ethnologique. A partir des années 1960, la consécration de l'anthropologie comme discipline universitaire et la professionnalisation du métier d'ethnologue ont amené les générations plus récentes à repenser les liens, les compromis ou les malentendus entre vocation religieuse et carrière d'ethnologue. Depuis lors s'est ouvert un vaste débat méthodologique entre historiens, anthropologues et missiologues. Les questions sur les rapports entre l'action missionnaire et l'action ethnologique demeurent nombreuses. Le cas de figure qu'incarne Michael Singleton, ancien missionnaire devenu ethnologue puis anthropologue formé par Sir Evans-Pritchard, a semblé aux éditeurs de ce livre une occasion idéale pour revenir sur ce sujet complexe. C'est en son hommage que sont publiées ici un ensemble de contributions présentées lors d'un colloque, tenu à Louvain-la-Neuve, en mars 2005, et qui ont été abondamment retravaillées. L'ouvrage se veut une imitation à poursuivre la réflexion à la lumière de cas souvent très différents mais complémentaires.
Book Synopsis The Need to Help by : Liisa H. Malkki
Download or read book The Need to Help written by Liisa H. Malkki and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2015-09-03 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Need to Help Liisa H. Malkki shifts the focus of the study of humanitarian intervention from aid recipients to aid workers themselves. The anthropological commitment to understand the motivations and desires of these professionals and how they imagine themselves in the world "out there," led Malkki to spend more than a decade interviewing members of the international Finnish Red Cross, as well as observing Finns who volunteered from their homes through gifts of handwork. The need to help, she shows, can come from a profound neediness—the need for aid workers and volunteers to be part of the lively world and something greater than themselves, and, in the case of the elderly who knit "trauma teddies" and "aid bunnies" for "needy children," the need to fight loneliness and loss of personhood. In seriously examining aspects of humanitarian aid often dismissed as sentimental, or trivial, Malkki complicates notions of what constitutes real political work. She traces how the international is always entangled in the domestic, whether in the shape of the need to leave home or handmade gifts that are an aid to sociality and to the imagination of the world.

Book Synopsis The Routledge Handbook of Social Studies of Outer Space by : Juan Francisco Salazar
Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of Social Studies of Outer Space written by Juan Francisco Salazar and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-10 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of Social Studies of Outer Space offers state-of-the-art overview of contemporary social and cultural research on outer space. International in scope, the thirty-eight contributions by over fifty leading researchers and artists across a variety of disciplines and fields of knowledge, present a range of debates and pose key questions about the crafting of futures in relation to outer space. The Handbook is a call to attend more carefully to engagements with outer space, empirically, affectively, and theoretically, while characterizing current research practices and outlining future research agendas. This recalibration opens profound questions of intersectional politics, race, equity, and environmental justice around the contested topics of space exploration and life off-Earth. Among the many themes included in the volume are the various infrastructures, networks and systems that enable and sustain space exploration; space heritage; the ethics of outer space; social and environmental justice; fundamental debates about life in outer space as it pertains to both astrobiology and SETI; the study of scientific communities; the human body and consciousness; Indigenous astronomical systems of Knowledge; contemporary space art; and ongoing critical interventions to overcome the legacies of colonialism and dismantle hegemonic narratives of outer space.
Download or read book Hippocrates' Woman written by Helen King and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-01-04 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hippocrates' Woman demonstrates the role of Hippocratic ideas about the female body in the subsequent history of western gynaecology. It examines these ideas not only in the social and cultural context in which they were first produced, but also the ways in which writers up to the Victorian period have appealed to the material in support of their own theories. Among the conflicting tange of images of women given in the Hippocratic corpus existed one tradition of the female body which says it is radically unlike the male body, behaving in different ways and requiring a different set of therapies. This book sets this model within the context of Greek mythology, especially the myth of Pandora and her difference from men, to explore the image of the body as something to be read. Hippocrates' Woman presents an arresting study of the origins of gynaecology, an exploration of how the interior workings of the female body were understood and the influence of Hippocrates' theories on the gynaecology of subsequent ages.
Book Synopsis Philosophy of Religion in Latin America and Europe by : Michael Schulz
Download or read book Philosophy of Religion in Latin America and Europe written by Michael Schulz and published by V&R Unipress. This book was released on 2021-04-12 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title of this publication suggests a double meaning: on the one hand, most of the contributions outline philosophies of religion relevant for Latin America, without, however, betraying an explicit Latin American perspective. Does not philosophical reason always articulate itself in the same way, whether in Berlin or Rio de Janeiro? On the other hand, the title refers to a specific form of philosophy that has developed regionally and bears explicit traces of its origins that differentiate it from philosophy in Europe. Does not philosophical reason always articulate itself in a specific cultural context? The charm of the book lies in the encounter of these two variants to think philosophically.
Book Synopsis Demography: Analysis and Synthesis, Four Volume Set by :
Download or read book Demography: Analysis and Synthesis, Four Volume Set written by and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2005-12-20 with total page 2857 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This four-volume collection of over 140 original chapters covers virtually everything of interest to demographers, sociologists, and others. Over 100 authors present population subjects in ways that provoke thinking and lead to the creation of new perspectives, not just facts and equations to be memorized. The articles follow a theory-methods-applications approach and so offer a kind of "one-stop shop" that is well suited for students and professors who need non-technical summaries, such as political scientists, public affairs specialists, and others. Unlike shorter handbooks, Demography: Analysis and Synthesis offers a long overdue, thorough treatment of the field. Choosing the analytical method that fits the data and the situation requires insights that the authors and editors of Demography: Analysis and Synthesis have explored and developed. This extended examination of demographic tools not only seeks to explain the analytical tools themselves, but also the relationships between general population dynamics and their natural, economic, social, political, and cultural environments. Limiting themselves to human populations only, the authors and editors cover subjects that range from the core building blocks of population change--fertility, mortality, and migration--to the consequences of demographic changes in the biological and health fields, population theories and doctrines, observation systems, and the teaching of demography. The international perspectives brought to these subjects is vital for those who want an unbiased, rounded overview of these complex, multifaceted subjects. Topics to be covered: * Population Dynamics and the Relationship Between Population Growth and Structure * The Determinants of Fertility * The Determinants of Mortality * The Determinants of Migration * Historical and Geographical Determinants of Population * The Effects of Population on Health, Economics, Culture, and the Environment * Population Policies * Data Collection Methods and Teaching about Population Studies * All chapters share a common format * Each chapter features several cross-references to other chapters * Tables, charts, and other non-text features are widespread * Each chapter contains at least 30 bibliographic citations

Book Synopsis Challenges of the Internet of Things by : Imad Saleh
Download or read book Challenges of the Internet of Things written by Imad Saleh and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-10-08 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will examine the issues of IoT according to three complementary axes: technique, use, ethics. The techniques used to produce artefacts (physical objects, infrastructures), programs (algorithms, software) and data (Big data, linked data, metadata, ontologies) are the subject of many innovations as the field of IoT is rich and stimulating. Along with this technological boom, IoT uses colonize new fields of application in the fields of transport, administration, housing, maintenance, health, sports, well-being. ... Privileged interface with digital ecosystems now at the heart of social exchanges, the IoT develops a power to act whose consequences both good and bad make it difficult to assess a fair business.

Download or read book New Geographies written by Stephen Ramos and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-09 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Geographies journal aims to examine the emergence of the “geographic,” a new but for the most part latent paradigm in design today—to articulate it and to bring it to bear effectively on the social role of design. Although much of the analysis of this context in architecture, landscape, and urbanism derives from social anthropology, human geography, and economics, the journal aims to extend these arguments to the impact of global changes on the spatial dimension, whether in terms of the emergence of global spatial networks, global cities, or nomadic practices, and how these inform design practices today. Through essays and design projects, the journal aims to identify the relationship between the very small and the very large, and intends to open up discussions on the expanded role of the designer, with an emphasis on disciplinary reframings, repositionings, and attitudes.
Book Synopsis Tales of Research Misconduct by : Hub Zwart
Download or read book Tales of Research Misconduct written by Hub Zwart and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-09-14 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph contributes to the scientific misconduct debate from an oblique perspective, by analysing seven novels devoted to this issue, namely: Arrowsmith by Sinclair Lewis (1925), The affair by C.P. Snow (1960), Cantor’s Dilemma by Carl Djerassi (1989), Perlmann’s Silence by Pascal Mercier (1995), Intuition by Allegra Goodman (2006), Solar by Ian McEwan (2010) and Derailment by Diederik Stapel (2012). Scientific misconduct, i.e. fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, but also other questionable research practices, have become a focus of concern for academic communities worldwide, but also for managers, funders and publishers of research. The aforementioned novels offer intriguing windows into integrity challenges emerging in contemporary research practices. They are analysed from a continental philosophical perspective, providing a stage where various voices, positions and modes of discourse are mutually exposed to one another, so that they critically address and question one another. They force us to start from the admission that we do not really know what misconduct is. Subsequently, by providing case histories of misconduct, they address integrity challenges not only in terms of individual deviance but also in terms of systemic crisis, due to current transformations in the ways in which knowledge is produced. Rather than functioning as moral vignettes, the author argues that misconduct novels challenge us to reconsider some of the basic conceptual building blocks of integrity discourse.
