Global Ideologies and Urban Landscapes
Author: Manfred Steger
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317985745
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 143
Book Description
How do political ideologies and urban landscapes intersect in the context of globalization? This volume illuminates the production of ideologies as both discursive and spatial phenomena in distinct contributions that ground their analysis in cities of the Global North and South. From Sydney to Singapore, Hong Kong to Hanoi, Las Vegas to Macau, conventional public spaces are in decline as sites of ideological dissent. Instead, we are witnessing the colonisation of urban space by market globalism (today’s dominant global ideology) and securitised surveillance regimes. Against this backdrop, how should we interpret the proliferation of metaphors that claim to communicate the essence of global transformation? In what ways do space and language work together to normalise the truth claims of powerful ideological players? What kinds of social forces mobilise to contest the cooptation of language and space and to pose alternative local and global futures? This volume poses these questions against the collapse of old geographical scales and cartographic techniques for identifying the contours of civil society. The city acts as an entry point to a new spatial analytics of contemporary ideological forces. This book was published as a special issue of Globalizations.

Book Description
El presente libro es una publicación colectiva del grupo de trabajo de CLACSO “Teoría social y realidad latinoamericana”. En esta ocasión ponemos a disposición del lector un conjunto de innovaciones teóricas orientadas a expandir el conocimiento sobre tópicos clásicos que desde mediados del siglo XX inciden de modo protagónico en la conformación de la agenda pública de las ciencias sociales en América Latina. A la cabeza de estos asuntos se sitúan el problema del cambio social, la dilucidación de la especificidad continental en el concierto mundial, la evolución histórica del Estado y de la economía, la prefiguración holística del futuro de la región, así como la permanente actualización de las coordenadas para una ciencia social crítica.

The Oxford Handbook of the Incas
Author: Sonia Alconini
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 019021936X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 881
Book Description
When Spaniards invaded their realm in 1532, the Incas ruled the largest empire of the pre-Columbian Americas. Just over a century earlier, military campaigns began to extend power across a broad swath of the Andean region, bringing local societies into new relationships with colonists and officials who represented the Inca state. With Cuzco as its capital, the Inca empire encompassed a multitude of peoples of diverse geographic origins and cultural traditions dwelling in the outlying provinces and frontier regions. Bringing together an international group of well-established scholars and emerging researchers, this handbook is dedicated to revealing the origins of this empire, as well as its evolution and aftermath. Chapters break new ground using innovative multidisciplinary research from the areas of archaeology, ethnohistory and art history. The scope of this handbook is comprehensive. It places the century of Inca imperial expansion within a broader historical and archaeological context, and then turns from Inca origins to the imperial political economy and institutions that facilitated expansion. Provincial and frontier case studies explore the negotiation and implementation of state policies and institutions, and their effects on the communities and individuals that made up the bulk of the population. Several chapters describe religious power in the Andes, as well as the special statuses that staffed the state religion, maintained records, served royal households, and produced fine craft goods to support state activities. The Incas did not disappear in 1532, and the volume continues into the Colonial and later periods, exploring not only the effects of the Spanish conquest on the lives of the indigenous populations, but also the cultural continuities and discontinuities. Moving into the present, the volume ends will an overview of the ways in which the image of the Inca and the pre-Columbian past is memorialized and reinterpreted by contemporary Andeans.

Espacio, espacialidad y multidisciplinariedad
Author: Marta Isabel Kollmann
Publisher: EUDEBA
ISBN: 9502319222
Category : Science
Languages : es
Pages : 226
Book Description
La Geografía, al no tener un campo teórico conceptual con autonomía propia dentro de las ciencias sociales, se vio obligada a apelar al uso de elementos teóricos ajenos a la disciplina. Entre otras causas, esta carencia se debe a la falta entre los geógrafos de reflexiones filosóficas y sociológicas sobre algunos temas. Este libro se propone sondear las bases teóricas y metodológicas sobre la elaboración de una “trialéctica de la espacialidad” y plantear una propuesta sobre los contenidos teóricos y metodológicos de una “nueva Geografía crítica” desde donde se supera la concepción clásica del espacio como vacío, cosa o mero contenedor de objetos por la de un espacio construido y complejo que, al igual que el tiempo, condiciona, a través de sus cambios, la conducta perceptiva y creadora de los individuos.

Global Archaeological Theory
Author: Pedro Paulo Funari
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 0306486520
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 379
Book Description
Archaeological theory has gone through a great upheaval in the last 50 years – from the processual theory, which wanted to make archaeology more "scientific" to post-processual theory, which understands that interpreting human behavior (even of past cultures) is a subjective study. This subjective approach incorporates a plurality of readings, thereby implying that different interpretations are always possible, allowing us to modify and change our ideas under the light of new information and/or interpretive frameworks. In this way, interpretations form a continuous flow of transformation and change, and thus archaeologists do not uncover a real past but rather construct a historical past or a narrative of the past. Post-processual theory also incorporates a conscious and explicit political interest on the past of the scholar and the subject. This includes fields and topics such as gender issues, ethnicity, class, landscapes, and consumption. This reflects a conscious attempt to also decentralize the discipline, from an imperialist point of view to an empowering one. Method and theory also means being politically aware and engaged to incorporate diverse critical approaches to improve understanding of the past and the present. This book focuses on the fundamental theoretical issues found in the discipline and thus both engages and represents the very rich plurality of the post-processual approach to archaeology. The book is divided into four sections: Issues in Archaeological Theory, Archaeological Theory and Method in Action, Space and Power in Material Culture, and Images as Material Discourse.
