Book Synopsis Ritual, Heritage and Identity by : Christiane Brosius
Download or read book Ritual, Heritage and Identity written by Christiane Brosius and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2020-11-29 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the importance of ritual and ritual theory to discourses of authenticity and originality, thereby deepening our insight into concepts of cultural heritage, identity and nation in a globalised world. The volume is the first interdisciplinary attempt to understand the significance of rituals and related performative traditions in the creation of grounded cultural identities, ‘home’ and heritage as geographically experienceable locations. It assembles perspectives from social and cultural anthropology, performance studies, education and arts that can deal with the politics of revitalisation and preservation of ritualised traditions. While some chapters in this book emphasise on the ritualisation of cultural heritage by concentrating on power relations and politics, as well as actual processes of identification, especially for marginalised ethnic groups or migrant communities, others explore how rituals as intangible heritage are strategically employed by different groups all over the world to make their claims public and to improve and negotiate their position on a local, national or global platform. This book recognises ritualised performances as transnational and cross-cultural phenomena, which are not only tied to and defined via national territories and identities but which also demand new theoretical and methodological approaches towards the discussion of rituals and heritage.

Book Synopsis Ritual, Media, and Conflict by : Ronald L. Grimes
Download or read book Ritual, Media, and Conflict written by Ronald L. Grimes and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-03-23 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rituals can provoke or escalate conflict, but they can also mediate it and although conflict is a normal aspect of human life, mass media technologies are changing the dynamics of conflict and shaping strategies for deploying rituals. This collection of essays emerged from a two-year project based on collaboration between the Faculty of Religious Studies at Radboud University Nijmegen in the Netherlands and the Ritual Dynamics Collaborative Research Center at the University of Heidelberg in Germany. An interdisciplinary team of twenty-four scholars locates, describes, and explores cases in which media-driven rituals or ritually saturated media instigate, disseminate, or escalate conflict. Each multi-authored chapter is built around global and local examples of ritualized, mediatized conflict. The book's central question is: "When ritual and media interact (either by the mediatizing of ritual or by the ritualizing of media), how do the patterns of conflict change?"

Download or read book Anthropology written by Christoph Wulf and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-04-08 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in German, Christoph Wulf’s Anthropology sets its sights on a topic as ambitious as its title suggests: anthropology itself. Arguing for an interdisciplinary and intercultural approach to anthropology that incorporates science, philosophy, history, and many other disciplines, Wulf examines—with breathtaking scope—all the ways that anthropology has been understood and practiced around the globe and through the years. Seeking a central way to understand anthropology in the midst of many different approaches to the discipline, Wulf concentrates on the human body. An emblem of society, culture, and time, the body is also the result of many mimetic processes—the active acquisition of cultural knowledge. By examining the role of the body in the performance of rituals, gestures, language, and other forms of imagination, he offers a bold new look at how culture is produced, handed down, and transformed. Drawing such examinations into a comprehensive and sophisticated assessment of the discipline as a whole, Anthropology looks squarely at the mystery of humankind and the ways we have attempted to understand it.

Book excerpt: In an era defined by the relentless march of technology, the seamless integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into our daily lives has ushered in a transformative landscape. At the forefront of this evolution are the Digital Natives of Generation AI, navigating the complexities of a digital world where algorithms are integral to their daily experiences. This juncture presents a dual influence, marked by the continuous progression of technological advancements and the dynamic ways the youngest members of our society engage with and adapt to the digital environment. As we stand at the crossroads of youth studies and AI, there arises a pressing need to comprehend the profound impact of this convergence on the future leaders of our world. Addressing this imperative, Exploring Youth Studies in the Age of AI emerges as a comprehensive solution to unravel the complexities and opportunities within this evolving landscape. This book, meticulously crafted for academics, researchers, educators, policymakers, and technology ethicists, serves as a guiding beacon in understanding how AI shapes the experiences of today's youth and, in turn, how youth culture influences the development and application of AI technologies.

Book Synopsis Youth Fantasies: The Perverse Landscape of the Media by : jan jagodzinski
Download or read book Youth Fantasies: The Perverse Landscape of the Media written by jan jagodzinski and published by Springer. This book was released on 2004-08-20 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Youth Fantasies is a collection of studies conducted in cross-cultural collaboration over the past ten years that theorizes 'youth fantasy'; as manifested through the media of TV, film, and computer games. Unlike other media studies and education books, the authors employ both Lacanian and Kleinian psychoanalytic concepts to attempt to make sense of teen culture and the influence of mass media. The collection includes case studies of X-Files fans, the influence of computer games and the 'Lara Croft' phenomenon, and the reception of Western television by Tanzanian youth. The authors see this book as a much needed reconciliation between cultural studies and Lacanian psychoanalysis, and attempt to highlight why Lacan is important to note when exploring youth fantasy and interest in the media, especially in shows like X-Files .
Book Synopsis Human Beings and their Images by : Christoph Wulf
Download or read book Human Beings and their Images written by Christoph Wulf and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-02-24 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing the image into dialogue with the imagination, mimesis and performativity, Christoph Wulf illuminates the historical, cultural and philosophical aspects of the relationship between images and human beings, looking both at its conceptual and physical manifestations. Wulf explores the cultural power of the image. He shows that images take root in our personal and collective imaginaries to determine how we feel, how we perceive the arts and culture, and how our bodies respond with physical actions, in games and dance to rituals and gesture. By showing how imagination occupies an essential place in our daily conduct, Wulf makes a significant contribution to how we think about the role of images in culture, the arts and society.
Book Synopsis Youth, Society and Mobile Media in Asia by : Stephanie Hemelryk Donald
Download or read book Youth, Society and Mobile Media in Asia written by Stephanie Hemelryk Donald and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-04-28 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the influence of mobile media technology on the lives of young people in East and North Asia, South East Asia and Australia. It discusses the impact information communication technologies have today on social identity, well-being, participation and exclusion. It explores current media practices and their innovative, transformative and disruptive uses at the local, the regional, the national, and the global level. In particular, it analyses mobile media not as a discrete object, but rather as part of a dynamic communication and information environment in which human-object relations are constantly reconfigured. It covers key theoretical and conceptual themes in youth mobile media research focusing on social, cultural and political aspects, including coverage of key themes such as regulation and technology, practices, pedagogies, aesthetics, social change, and representations of mobile youth. The book includes new accounts of recent research into the uses of mobile media by young people, and how these are situated in a broader socio-political context. Case studies include mobile panics in Australia (the notorious Kings of Wirrabee sexual assault case) and Japan (the scandals of high school girls as teenage prostitutes) in which mobile media use has had significant impact. This book offers an up-to-date examination of the influence of information communication technologies on young people’s lives in the region.
Book Synopsis Children, Development and Education by : Michalis Kontopodis
Download or read book Children, Development and Education written by Michalis Kontopodis and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-03-30 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historical anthropology is a revision of the German philosophical anthropology under the influences of the French historical school of Annales and the Anglo-Saxon cultural anthropology. Cultural-historical psychology is a school of thought which emerged in the context of the Soviet revolution and deeply affected the disciplines of psychology and education in the 20th century. This book draws on these two schools to advance current scholarship in child and youth development and education. It also enters in dialogue with other relational approaches and suggests alternatives to mainstream western developmental theories and educational practices. This book emphasizes communication and semiotic processes as well as the use of artifacts, pictures and technologies in education and childhood development, placing a special focus on active subjectivity, historicity and performativity. Within this theoretical framework, contributors from Europe and the U.S. highlight the dynamic and creative aspects of school, family and community practices and the dramatic aspects of child development in our changing educational institutions. They also use a series of original empirical studies to introduce different research methodologies and complement theoretical analyses in an attempt to find innovative ways to translate cultural-historical and historical anthropological theory and research into a thorough understanding of emerging phenomena in school and after-school education of ethnic minorities, gender-sensitive education, and educational and family policy. Divided into two main parts, “Culture, History and Child Development”, and “Gender, Performativity and Educational Practice”, this book is useful for anyone in the fields of cultural-historical research, educational science, educational and developmental psychology, psychological anthropology, and childhood and youth studies.

This book is ideal for students of media studies, communication studies and sociology.
