Book Description
" ... Francis Korn nos presenta ... un resumen de sus interrogantes sobre el concepto "clases sociales" y de sus dudas sobre la utilidad metodológica de esa noción en todos los estudios de Ciencias Sociales. Esta cuestión no es una novedad en sus reflexiones sino que la ha venido analizando a lo largo de una larga trayectoria dedicada a la sociología y a la enseñanza. El carácter "indiscutido" de la existencia clases sociales es objeto de un escrupuloso examen a fin de llegar a conclusiones inequívocas sobre su veracidad, su vigencia y su pertinencia. La utilización mundana de términos como "clase media", "clase baja", "clase distinguida", etc. ha provocado, en opinión de la autora, confusiones entre los observadores sociales y los científicos en numerosas ocasiones. Para abordar esta problemática, Francis Korn hace un recorrido histórico sobre la idea de clase y su utilización, especialmente en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires. Luego, estudia los métodos relativos a este concepto que han sido utilizados por los investigadores de las Ciencias Sociales, y establece un interesante diálogo con Claude Lévi-Strauss. Finalmente, el análisis cuestiona la utilidad de los sondeos de opinión, las encuestas y otros métodos tan utilizados durante los últimos años, a través de ejemplos de investigaciones "fraudes", en los cuales la ligereza metodológica provocó escándalos de resonancia pública ..."--Descripción del editor.

'Mixed Race' Studies
Author: Jayne O. Ifekwunigwe
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135170711
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 362
Book Description
Mixed race studies is one of the fastest growing, as well as one of the most important and controversial areas in the field of race and ethnic relations. Bringing together pioneering and controversial scholarship from both the social and the biological sciences, as well as the humanities, this reader charts the evolution of debates on 'race' and 'mixed race' from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century. The book is divided into three main sections: tracing the origins: miscegenation, moral degeneracy and genetics mapping contemporary and foundational discourses: 'mixed race', identities politics, and celebration debating definitions: multiraciality, census categories and critiques. This collection adds a new dimension to the growing body of literature on the topic and provides a comprehensive history of the origins and directions of 'mixed race' research as an intellectual movement. For students of anthropology, race and ethnicity, it is an invaluable resource for examining the complexities and paradoxes of 'racial' thinking across space, time and disciplines.

Juan de la Rosa
Author: Nataniel Aguirre
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199938873
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
Long considered a classic in Bolivia, Juan de la Rosa tells the story of a young boy's coming of age during the violent and tumultuous years of Bolivia's struggle for independence. Indeed, in this remarkable novel, Juan's search for his personal identity functions as an allegory of Bolivia's search for its identity as a nation. Set in the early 1800s, the novel is narrated by one of the last surviving Bolivian rebels, octogenarian Juan de la Rosa. Juan recreates his childhood in the rebellious town of Cochabamba, and with it a large cast of full bodied, Dickensian characters both heroic and malevolent. The larger cultural dislocations brought about by Bolivia's political upheaval are echoed in those experienced by Juan, whose mother's untimely death sets off a chain of unpredictable events that propel him into the fiery crucible of the South American Independence Movement. Outraged by Juan's outspokenness against Spanish rule and his awakening political consciousness, his loyalist guardians banish him to the countryside, where he witnesses firsthand the Spaniards' violent repression and rebels' valiant resistance that crystallize both his personal destiny and that of his country. In Sergio Gabriel Waisman's fluid translation, English readers have access to Juan de la Rosa for the very first time.
