Book Description
Este libro pionero supone uno de los primeros intentos de establecer una lectura en extensión y en profundidad de algunos de los más importantes textos de la antropología, con el fin de caracterizar las semejanzas y diferencias de los textos antropológicos respecto de los de otras disciplinas, tanto de las ciencias como de las humanidades, y contribuir a la teoría literaria desde la perspectiva de la escritura antropológica. La esencia del libro está constituida por el análisis desde diversos ángulos de cuatro figuras muy distintas de la antropología: Claude Lévi-Strauss, Edward Evan Evans-Pritchar, Bronislaw Malinowski y Ruth Benedict. Así, Tristes trópicos se analiza como un texto hojaldrado, configurado por diferentes géneros de escritura, superpuestos unos a otros. La obra de Evans-Pritchar se aborda desde el punto de vista de las técnicas retóricas que emplea para caracterizar a la sociedad africana. Se estudia a Malinowski desde la perspectiva de la construcción del del etnógrafo en el interior del texto etnográfico. Y, finalmente, Geertz analiza cómo las dos más famosas obras de Ruth Benedict -El hombre y la cultura y El crisantemo y la espada- sirven para criticar la cultura americana mientras se dedican a describir culturas contrapuestas.

Abiayalan Pluriverses

Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
Abiayalan Pluriverses: Bridging Indigenous Studies and Hispanic Studies looks for pathways that better connect two often siloed disciplines. This edited collection brings together different disciplinary experiences and perspectives to this objective, weaving together researchers, artists, instructors, and authors who have found ways of bridging Indigenous and Hispanic studies through trans-Indigenous reading methods, intercultural dialogues, and reflections on translation and epistemology. Each chapter brings rich context that bears on some aspect of the Indigenous Americas and its crossroads with Hispanic studies, from Canada to Chile. Such a hemispheric and interdisciplinary approach offers innovative and significant means of challenging the coloniality of Hispanic studies.

Working Life and Gender Inequality
Author: Angelika Sjöstedt
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000367754
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
In the modern globalized world of work, society’s capitalist and patriarchal norms perpetuate old and create new differences based on gender, class, ethnicity, age, and other social categorizations. This book proposes a novel conceptual framework offering theoretical and methodological insights for thinking through the present and future inequality challenges in the globalized world of work and working life issues in the context of spatio-temporal relations. Bringing together global feminist studies of intersectionality and transnationalism, work-life research, and studies of space, place, and identity, this edited collection responds to the growing interest in peripheries, rurality, and other spaces beyond the urban and business market centres. In crossing the theoretical boundaries between intersectionality and peripherality, this volume brings these concepts together to identify how racism, capitalism and heteropatriarchy operate on bodies in the name of work, particularly as expressed in precarious labour conditions. It also advocates for transnational solidarity as part of feminist ethics, while providing an opportunity to reflect on ways forward for feminist intersectional studies of work and working life, drawing on embodied relationality and a feminist ethics of care. Working Life and Gender Inequality explores the intersectional nature of gender, class, race and other inequalities from a global and spatial perspective. It will be of value to researchers, academics, students, managers, consultants, and policy makers in the fields of organizational studies, leadership, feminist and gender studies, working life, intersectionality and transnational feminism.

Messy Ethnographies in Action
Author: Alexandra Plows
Publisher: Vernon Press
ISBN: 162273551X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
This edited collection of chapters showcases original and interdisciplinary ethnographic fieldwork in a range of international settings; including studies of underground pub life in North East England; Finnish hotels; and bio-scientific institutions in the Amazonian rainforest. Informed by John Law’s concept of ethnographic “mess,” this book makes a unique, empirically-informed, contribution to an understanding of the social construction of knowledge and the role that ethnography can and does play (Law, 2004). It provides a range of colourful snapshots from the field, showing how different researchers from multiple research environments and disciplines are negotiating the practicalities, and epistemological and ethical implications, of “messy” ethnographic practice as a means of researching “messy” social realities. Law notes that “social…science investigations interfere with the world…things change as a result. The issue, then, is not to seek disengagement but rather with how to engage” (ibid p14). Drawing on their own situated experiences, the book’s contributors address the “messy” implications of this and also explore the (equally messy) issue of why engage. They reflect on the process of undertaking research, and their role in the research process as they negotiate their own position in the field. What is ethnography “for”? What impact should, or do, we have in the field and after we leave the research site? What about unintended consequences? When (if ever) are we “off duty?” What does “informed consent” mean in a constantly shifting, dynamic ethnographic context? Is ethnography by its very nature a form of “action research?” By providing a wide range of situated explorations of “messy ethnographies,” the book presents a unique, hands-on guide to the challenges of negotiating ethnography in practice, which will be of use to all researchers and practitioners who use ethnography as a method.
