Download or read book Novel Approaches to Anthropology written by Marilyn Cohen and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2013-09-05 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of interdisciplinary essays reflect current contributions to literary anthropology. Novel Approaches to Anthropology: Contributions to Literary Anthropology showcases the myriad ways that anthropologists bring their disciplinary perspectives, theories, concepts, and pedagogical strategies to interpreting fiction and travel writing written in the past and present. The authors integrate insights from the reflexive deconstructive turn in anthropology and from critical Marxist and feminist approaches that ground interpretation in the political, economic, and social constraints and experiences of everyday life. The contributors share the view that fiction, like all artistic expression, is rooted in specific historical and cultural contexts. Literature, like all artistic expression, stimulates a critical imagination by allowing readers to take a fresh look at their own society and culture.

Download or read book Conceptualizing Iranian Anthropology written by Shahnaz R. Nadjmabadi and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During recent years, attempts have been made to move beyond the Eurocentric perspective that characterized the social sciences, especially anthropology, for over 150 years. A debate on the “anthropology of anthropology” was needed, one that would consider other forms of knowledge, modalities of writing, and political and intellectual practices. This volume undertakes that challenge: it is the result of discussions held at the first organized encounter between Iranian, American, and European anthropologists since the Iranian Revolution of 1979. It is considered an important first step in overcoming the dichotomy between “peripheral anthropologies” versus “central anthropologies.” The contributors examine, from a critical perspective, the historical, cultural, and political field in which anthropological research emerged in Iran at the beginning of the twentieth century and in which it continues to develop today.

This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Current Anthropological Literature, Vol. 2 This little volume is issued as a guide to the collections from the Plains Indians in the American Museum of Natural History, but it is much more than that. It sums up certain facts and gives certain interpretations of the anthropology of those people. It is abundantly illustrated by drawings and photographs and has three very interesting maps. It deals not only with the strictly Plains tribes, but considers also a number of related peoples living on the borders of the Plains, and on the western plateau in and beyond the Rocky Mountains.

Download or read book Engaged Anthropology written by Stuart Kirsch and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2018-03-30 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does anthropology have more to offer than just its texts? In this timely and remarkable book, Stuart Kirsch shows how anthropology can—and why it should—become more engaged with the problems of the world. Engaged Anthropology draws on the author’s experiences working with indigenous peoples fighting for their environment, land rights, and political sovereignty. Including both short interventions and collaborations spanning decades, it recounts interactions with lawyers and courts, nongovernmental organizations, scientific experts, and transnational corporations. This unflinchingly honest account addresses the unexamined “backstage” of engaged anthropology. Coming at a time when some question the viability of the discipline, the message of this powerful and original work is especially welcome, as it not only promotes a new way of doing anthropology, but also compellingly articulates a new rationale for why anthropology matters.

Download or read book Global Health written by Mark Nichter and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2008-04-24 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this lesson-packed book, Mark Nichter, one of the world’s leading medical anthropologists, summarizes what more than a quarter-century of health social science research has contributed to international health and elucidates what social science research can contribute to global health and the study of biopolitics in the future. Nichter focuses on our cultural understanding of infectious and vector-borne diseases, how they are understood locally, and how various populations respond to public health interventions. The book examines the perceptions of three groups whose points of view on illness, health care, and the politics of responsibility often differ and frequently conflict: local populations living in developing countries, public health practitioners working in international health, and health planners/policy makers. The book is written for both health social scientists working in the fields of international health and development and public health practitioners interested in learning practical lessons they can put to good use when engaging communities in participatory problem solving. Global Health critically examines representations that frame international health discourse. It also addresses the politics of what is possible in a world compelled to work together to face emerging and re-emerging diseases, the control of health threats associated with political ecology and defective modernization, and the rise of new assemblages of people who share a sense of biosociality. The book proposes research priorities for a new program of health social science research. Nichter calls for greater involvement by social scientists in studies of global health and emphasizes how medical anthropologists in particular can better involve themselves as scholar activists.

This book was released on 2020-03-17 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Cabana and Clark have chosen to base their research into migration on careful study of how real people actually behave over time and space. We are well served by this rugged empiricism and by the multidisciplinary breadth of their approach."—Dean R. Snow, Pennsylvania State University "A thorough survey of the ways in which anthropologists across the four subfields have defined and analyzed human migration."—John H. Relethford, author of Reflections of Our Past: How Human History Is Revealed in Our Genes All too often, anthropologists study specific facets of human migration without guidance from the other subdisciplines (archaeology, biological anthropology, cultural anthropology, and linguistics) that can provide new insights on the topic. The equivocal results of these narrow studies often make the discussion of impact and consequences speculative. In the last decade, however, anthropologists working independently in the four subdisciplines have developed powerful methodologies to detect and assess the scale of past migrations. Yet these advances are known only to a few specialized researchers. Rethinking Anthropological Perspectives on Migration brings together these new methods in one volume and addresses innovative approaches to migration research that emerge from the collective effort of scholars from different intellectual backgrounds. Its contributors present a comprehensive anthropological exploration of the many topics related to human migration throughout the world, ranging from theoretical treatments to specific case studies derived primarily from the Americas prior to European contact.

This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Current Anthropological Literature, Vol. 1 Methode der Ethnologie; by Ankerniann in his address before the congress of German and Austrian anthropologists at Heilbronn (Archiv fur Anthropologic, X, Heft 4, Korrespondenz-Blatt, pp. 156-162) and in previous publications; and by Foy, in his Führer durck das Rautenslrauck-Joest-Museum, 1910, Introduction, as well as in his introduction to Graebner's Methode. Dr Rivers enthusiastically embraces the doctrines of the German ''ethnological" school and tells the story of his "conversion," a result of his studies of relationship terms and secret societies in Melanesia. From one point of view Dr Rivers is, no doubt, right in contrasting the two schools. Similarities in culture may be ascribed to independent developments under similar environments on the basis of the psychic unity of mankind; or they may be interpreted as indicating cultural diffusion and, ultimately, genetic relationship. The two schools adopt these alternative explanations of ethnic phenomena. Dr Rivers forcibly represents this contrast. Referring to the conventionalization of realistic designs, he says: "The transitions which have been taken to be evidence of independent processes of evolution based on psychological tendencies common to mankind are by the modern German school ascribed to the mixture of cultures and of peoples" (p. 888); or again: "In every case where British anthropologists see evolution, either in the forms of material objects or in social and religious institutions, the modern German school sees only the evidence of mixture of cultures, either with or without an accompanying mixture of the races to which these cultures belonged" (p. 888). Now, apart from their adoption of these alternative explanations, is there such an "immense divergence of thought and method" between the two schools? In no way. On the contrary, we see here one and the same methodological procedure and, from a wider point of view, a tendency of human thought common enough in the history of science; namely, the dogmatic application of an interpretative principle, with no regard to the merits of the individual case to which the principle is applied. Thus, the method pursued by both schools must be characterized as uncritical. (For a further elaboration of this topic see Boas' review of Graebner's Methode in Science, vol. 34, No. 884; and Lowie's forthcoming article in the Journal of American Folk-Lore.) Dr Rivers' own position is radically different from that of Gracbner. Notwithstanding his confessed "conversion," he may have adopted the practice of the "ethnological" school in his Melanesian work, but he has not embraced its spirit.
