Book excerpt: In the 21st century Anthropology is under continuous pressure to redefine itself to explore sweeping biological and social transformations that are taking place in the society today. Anthropology over the years is recognized as the discipline that studies man in time and space. The focus of anthropological research is on human population(s) living in an ecological niche. Anthropology has traditionally followed a four fold division recognizing 1. Palaeo-anthropology/Pre-historic Archaeology2. Social/Cultural Anthropology3. Biological Anthropology4. Linguistic Anthropologyas distinct areas of specialization. However, over the years emphasis has shifted. The science of Man in society while conforming to the broad four fold division has over the years developed numerous sub-disciplines that cater to the challenges of comprehending impact of technology and rampant industrialization, global warming and biological interventions on mankind. Various new frontiers have opened in the last century that demands anthropological skills for intervention. The present volume is only an attempt to provide a glimpse to the readers of various methodological and functional modalities of the discipline on a broad platform.To pay befitting tribute to the subject of Anthropology, it will be perfectly in order to state that the discipline has the unique distinction of being a melting pot of all the basic and applied sciences - earth, -physical, -life, -medicine as well as - social and humanities. In the past contributions made by the fraternity has helped mankind pass many milestones. Its contributions to exploring complexities of human civilization are well acknowledged. This volume explores new frontiers that discipline with its advanced theoretical insights and methodological tools is examining. Review articles and other papers take a critical view of the past accomplishments and future possibilities. The volume is presented to you with the hope that it will become a ready reckoner for future researchers looking for new themes and research paradigms.

Download or read book Anthropology and Politics written by Joan Vincent and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2022-08-16 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In considering how anthropologists have chosen to look at and write about politics, Joan Vincent contends that the anthropological study of politics is itself a historical process. Intended not only as a representation but also as a reinterpretation, her study arises from questioning accepted views and unexamined assumptions. This wide-ranging, cross-disciplinary work is a critical review of the anthropological study of politics in the English-speaking world from 1879 to the present, a counterpoint of text and context that describes for each of three eras both what anthropologists have said about politics and the national and international events that have shaped their interests and concerns. It is also an account of how intellectual, social, and political conditions influenced the discipline by conditioning both anthropological inquiry and the avenues of research supported by universities and governments. Finally, it is a study of the politics of anthropology itself, examining the survival of theses or schools of thought and the influence of certain individuals and departments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this innovative collaborative ethnography of Italian-Chinese ventures in the fashion industry, Lisa Rofel and Sylvia J. Yanagisako offer a new methodology for studying transnational capitalism. Drawing on their respective linguistic and regional areas of expertise, Rofel and Yanagisako show how different historical legacies of capital, labor, nation, and kinship are crucial in the formation of global capitalism. Focusing on how Italian fashion is manufactured, distributed, and marketed by Italian-Chinese ventures and how their relationships have been complicated by China's emergence as a market for luxury goods, the authors illuminate the often-overlooked processes that produce transnational capitalism—including privatization, negotiation of labor value, rearrangement of accumulation, reconfiguration of kinship, and outsourcing of inequality. In so doing, Fabricating Transnational Capitalism reveals the crucial role of the state and the shifting power relations between nations in shaping the ideas and practices of the Italian and Chinese partners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The best known, most often cited history of anthropological theory is finally available in paperback! First published in 1968, Harris's book has been cited in over 1,000 works and is one of the key documents explaining cultural materialism, the theory associated with Harris's work. This updated edition included the complete 1968 text plus a new introduction by Maxine Margolis, which discusses the impact of the book and highlights some of the major trends in anthropological theory since its original publication. RAT, as it is affectionately known to three decades of graduate students, comprehensively traces the history of anthropology and anthropological theory, culminating in a strong argument for the use of a scientific, behaviorally-based, etic approach to the understanding of human culture known as cultural materialism. Despite its popularity and influence on anthropological thinking, RAT has never been available in paperback_until now. It is an essential volume for the library of all anthropologists, their graduate students, and other theorists in the social sciences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthropology is more relevant than ever before to making sense of the constant intercultural encounters taking place around the world. Even though the discipline was born out of the need to understand the way humans interact, it had for decades been trapped in a counter-cultural stance that effectively disarmed it of any direct influence on public affairs. Recent global trends, however, have brought this academic discipline to the attention of governments, agencies, and social entrepreneurs, because of its capacity to create bridges of understanding between people of contrasting cultures. This ability is today more necessary than ever before in facing the challenges posed by the shrinking of our world. This volume provides reflections on what anthropological research can offer through its “thick” analyses. We are convinced that ethnographic research can contribute to a better understanding of social phenomena in our global times.

This book was released on 2009-05-27 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 15th Congress of the European Anthropological Association, held under the title "MAN AND ENVIRONMENT: TRENDS AND CHALLENGES IN ANTHROPOLOGY", was organized by the Department of Biological Anthropology, Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary. The Congress was also a celebration of the 125th anniversary of the founding of the Department of Biological Anthropology of the university. The Congress strived to encompass all aspects of physical anthropology pertinent to the understanding of human origins as well as the variability of ancient and present populations. The main topic was: Man and Environment in the Past and at Present – Trends and Challenges in Anthropology. At the beginning of the 21st century it seemed important to summarize what we had learned in the last hundred years in order to help our younger colleagues in physical anthropology in understanding the current trends and to provide them with suggestions for their future research. The present volume contains a collection of the selected papers presented in the congress. The first section discusses some aspects of the human evolution and adaptation and reflects on the race concept. The second section discusses some skeletal variations in different populations and the effects of isolation, migration and life-style on genetic structure of populations. The third session gives an overview of the current state of our knowledge about growth and ageing that may mould our general approach to human ecology. This book will be especially useful physical anthropologists, human biologists, human geneticist, medical and bio-demographical scientists interested in knowing more about human variability.
