Download or read book Before Boas written by Han F. Vermeulen and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2015-07 with total page 748 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of anthropology has been written from multiple viewpoints, often from perspectives of gender, nationality, theory, or politics. Before Boas delves deeper into issues concerning anthropology’s academic origins to present a groundbreaking study that reveals how ethnography and ethnology originated during the eighteenth rather than the nineteenth century, developing parallel to anthropology, or the “natural history of man.” Han F. Vermeulen explores primary and secondary sources from Russia, Germany, Austria, the United States, the Netherlands, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, France, and Great Britain in tracing how “ethnography” originated as field research by German-speaking historians and naturalists in Siberia (Russia) during the 1730s and 1740s, was generalized as “ethnology” by scholars in Göttingen (Germany) and Vienna (Austria) during the 1770s and 1780s, and was subsequently adopted by researchers in other countries. Before Boas argues that anthropology and ethnology were separate sciences during the Age of Reason, studying racial and ethnic diversity, respectively. Ethnography and ethnology focused not on “other” cultures but on all peoples of all eras. Following G. W. Leibniz, researchers in these fields categorized peoples primarily according to their languages. Franz Boas professionalized the holistic study of anthropology from the 1880s into the twentieth century.

Book Synopsis The Delusions of Economics by : Gilbert Rist
Download or read book The Delusions of Economics written by Gilbert Rist and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2011-11-24 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Delusions of Economics, Gilbert Rist presents a radical critique of neoclassical economics from a social and historical perspective. Rather than enter into existing debates between different orthodoxies, Rist instead explores the circumstances that prevailed when economics was 'invented', and the resultant biases that helped forge the construction of economics as a 'science'. In doing so, Rist demonstrates how these various presuppositions are either obsolete or just plain wrong, and that traditional economics is largely based on irrational convictions that are difficult to debunk due to their 'religious' nature. As a result, we are prevented from properly understanding the world around us and dealing with the financial, environmental, and climatic crises that lie ahead. Provocative and original, this essential book provides incontrovertible proof that the construction of a new economic paradigm - pluralistic, ecologically compatible, grounded in reality - has now become a necessity.
Book Synopsis Anthropologie de la modernité by : Laurent-Sébastien Fournier
Download or read book Anthropologie de la modernité written by Laurent-Sébastien Fournier and published by Armand Colin. This book was released on 2021-02-10 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Qu’est-ce que l’anthropologie des sociétés modernes ? Peut-on pratiquer l’anthropologie chez soi ? Au premier abord, ces questions peuvent sembler étranges, tant l’anthropologie reste associée aux sociétés traditionnelles et exotiques, à la distance et à l’éloignement. Pourtant, toutes les sociétés humaines peuvent aujourd’hui faire l’objet d’un discours anthropologique. La décolonisation, puis la globalisation, ont contribué à la possibilité d’un tel renouvellement de la discipline, de sorte que l’idée d’une anthropologie « chez soi » est devenue de plus en plus acceptable. Comment, dès lors, tourner vers soi-même le fameux « regard éloigné » de l’anthropologie ? L’ouvrage analyse les notions de temps, d’espace, de culture, de société et de corps, qui sont des thématiques transversales pour témoigner des diverses façons de faire de l’anthropologie de la modernité, tout en prenant en compte les dynamiques contemporaines de la globalisation et de la fragmentation.
Book Synopsis Global Perspectives on the Internationalization of Higher Education by : Branch, John D.
Download or read book Global Perspectives on the Internationalization of Higher Education written by Branch, John D. and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2023-02-24 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transnational higher education was triggered largely by the marketization of higher education, which itself manifests in such characteristics as academic rankings, institutional branding, and an emphasis on managerialism. Recent advances in technology, and the global COVID-19 pandemic, have also driven a “virtual” internationalization of higher education, with universities expanding their digital footprints overseas, accelerating their distance education offerings, and exploring such innovations as virtual exchange programs. Global Perspectives on the Internationalization of Higher Education documents contemporary perspectives on the internationalization of higher education and considers its history throughout the years in order to understand potential future directions. Covering key topics such as student recruitment, institutional branding, and student mobility, this premier reference source is ideal for administrators, principals, researchers, academicians, practitioners, scholars, instructors, and students.
Book Synopsis The German Invention of Race by : Sara Eigen
Download or read book The German Invention of Race written by Sara Eigen and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The German Invention of Race, historians, philosophers, and scholars in literary, cultural, and religious studies trace the origins of the concept of "race" to Enlightenment Germany and seek to understand the issues at work in creating a definition of race. The work introduces a significant connection to the history of race theory as contributors show that the language of race was deployed in contexts as apparently unrelated as hygiene; aesthetics; comparative linguistics; anthropology; debates over the status of science, theology, and philosophy; and Jewish emancipation. The concept of race has no single point of origin, and has never operated within the constraints of a single definition. As the essays in this book trace the powerful resonances of the term in diverse contexts, both before and long after the invention of the scientific term around 1775, they help explain how this pseudoconcept could, in a few short decades, have become so powerful in so many fields of thought and practice. In addition, the essays show that the fateful rise of racial thinking in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries was made possible not only by the establishment of physical anthropology as a field, but also by other disciplines and agendas linked by the enduring associations of the word "race."
Download or read book Anthropologie written by Mondher Kilani and published by Armand Colin. This book was released on 2009 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pendant longtemps, l'anthropologie a été associée à l'étude des sociétés exotiques. Dès sa constitution, elle a cependant poursuivi un autre objectif, celui de transcender les particularismes et de penser l'humanité dans son ensemble. À une époque marquée par la globalisation, son privilège scientifique réside précisément dans cette capacité de varier les échelles d'observation et d'articuler l'universel et le particulier. Plus qu'une simple introduction, cet ouvrage a pour ambition de présenter les débats et les orientations qui traversent actuellement la discipline, d'interroger sa démarche et de l'inscrire dans l'histoire de la pensée de l'altérité. En abordant des problématiques en prise avec les transformations que le monde a connues depuis deux décennies (mondialisation, multiculturalisme, postcolonialisme, conflits de mémoires, génocides...), il souligne enfin que les questions épistémologiques qui se posent à l'anthropologie sont aussi des questions politiques.
Book Synopsis Scientific Diasporas as Development Partners by : Gabriela Tejada
Download or read book Scientific Diasporas as Development Partners written by Gabriela Tejada and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2010 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last two decades, globalisation has accelerated international migration flows, particularly of skilled labour. Yet increasing migration by skilled workers from developing countries («brain drain») has raised serious concerns internationally about the adverse development impact on their countries of origin. This book, however, highlights the positive aspects of skilled labour migration as scientific diasporas are playing a growing role in the transfer of technology, skills and knowledge («brain gain») to their home countries. This is a very significant development in a globalised world where science, technology and knowledge can trigger economic and social transformations. The book presents solid empirical evidence of the contributions scientific diasporas make to their countries of origin, based on primary surveys of skilled migrants from Colombia, India and South Africa employed in Switzerland, a major destination country. The findings lead to a better understanding of the motives for migration, the profile of the scientific diaspora communities in Switzerland, and the varied ways in which they help their home countries. The book makes a significant contribution to the international policy debate and dialogue on migration and development. In particular, it shows how to leverage the potential of scientific diasporas as agents of home country development, by identifying good practices and offering specific recommendations for the countries of origin and of destination.
Book Synopsis The Tension Between Group Rights and Human Rights by : Koen De Feyter
Download or read book The Tension Between Group Rights and Human Rights written by Koen De Feyter and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2008-07-31 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discussion of group rights, while always a part of the human rights discourse, has been gaining importance in the past decade. This discussion, which remains fundamental to a full realisation by the international community of its international human rights goals, requires careful analysis and empirical research. The present volume offers a great deal of material for both. It makes a strong case in favour of a multidisciplinary approach to human rights and explores the origins and social, anthropological and legal/political dimensions of human rights and internationally recognised group rights. It explores legal issues such as the reservations to international treaties and methodological questions, including the question of deliberative processes which allow seemingly absolute requirements of human rights to be reconciled with culturally sensitive norms prevailing within various groups. The discussion continues by looking at specific contexts, including the situations of women, school communities, ethnic and linguistic minorities, migrant communities and impoverished groups. The final part of the volume examines the 'state of play' of human rights and group rights in international law, in international relations and in the context of internationally sponsored development policies. Here the authors offer a meticulous and critical presentation of the legal regulation of human rights and group rights and point to numerous weaknesses which continue to exist and which call for additional work by legal thinkers and practitioners.
Book Synopsis Remapping Knowledge by : Mihai I. Spariosu
Download or read book Remapping Knowledge written by Mihai I. Spariosu and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2006-03-01 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growing interdependence of the local and the global demand innovative approaches to human development. Such approaches, the author argues, ought to be based on the emerging ethics of global intelligence, defined as the ability to understand, respond to, and work toward what will benefit all human beings and will support and enrich all life on this planet. As no national or supranational authority can predefine or predetermine it, global intelligence involves long-term, collective learning processes and can emerge only from continuing intercultural research, dialogue, and cooperation. In this book, the author elaborates the basic principles of a new field of intercultural studies, oriented toward global intelligence. He proposes concrete research and educational programs that would help create intercultural learning environments designed to stimulate sustainable human development throughout the world.
