Book Description
EI análisis del conflicto social realizado en las décadas pasadas por la antropología, abrió paso a una concepción de los sistemas sociales más acorde con su complejidad, mostró el carácter precario y aproximativo de todo orden social y rompió la identificación del conflicto con anomia o desintegración de la sociedad. Los estudios se han orientado hacia la observación de conflictos de amplia extensión -como la lucha de clases o los movimientos sociales- sin descuidar los menos visibles, cotidianos y no por ello menos importantes, que afectan a los sistemas sociales. Los procesos de modernización efectuados en muchas de las sociedades estudiadas por los antropólogos, impusieron la ampliación del campo de análisis e introdujeron la consideración del factor internacional. La interpretación de los procesos y fenómenos relacionados con el conflicto ha sido marcada por dos grandes énfasis. Uno subraya su función en el ajuste, adaptación y mantenimiento de las relaciones y las estructuras sociales, como válvula de escape, factor de equilibrio, o ritualizado, como "reparador" de la cohesión perdida. Otro enfoque acentúa su papel como productor de fisuras y rupturas y por consiguiente, como agente del cambio social.

Cultural Shaping of Violence
Author: Myrdene AndersonPublisher: Purdue University Press
ISBN: 9781557533456
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
Violence and increasing public awareness of violence mark society's contemporary condition. Sept. 11, 2001 made this condition even more indelible. Cultural Shaping of Violence proposes that violence cannot be described, let alone understond or addressed, unless tied to the cultural settings that influence it. The book's 27 chapters, researched and written by 28 scholars of seven nationalities, document violence in 22 distinct cultural settings in 17 nation-states on five continents. Internal to each society, a number of sites of violence may thrive, from the domestic sphere to social institutions and political arenas. In whatever site or guise, violence reverberates throughout the social fabric and beyond.

Dwellers of Memory
Author: Pilar Riano-AlcalaPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351521497
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
Dwellers of Memory is an ethnographic study of how urban youth in Colombia came to be at the intersection of multiple forms of political, drug-related, and territorial violence in a country undergoing forty years of internal armed conflict. It examines the ways in which youth in the city of Medellin reconfigure their lives and, cultural worlds in the face of widespread violence. This violence has transgressed familiar boundaries and destroyed basic social supports and networks of trust. This volume attempts to map and understand its patterns and flows. The author explores how Medellin's youth locate themselves and make, sense of violence through contradictory and shifting memory practices. The violence has not completely taken over their cultural worlds or their subjectivities. Practices of remembering and forgetting are key methods by which these youth rework their identities and make sense of the impact of violence on their lives. While the experience of violence is rooted in urban space and urban youth, the memory dwellers use a sense of place, oral histories of death, and narratives of fear as survival strategies for inhabiting violent neighborhoods. The book also examines fissures in memory, the contradictory constructions of young people's subjective selves, and practices of gendered violence and terror. All have and continue to pose risks to the historical memory and cultural survival of the residents of Medellin. Dwellers of Memory offers an alternative ethnographic approach to the study of memory and violence, one that calls into question whether the, role of the ethnographer of violence is to be a mere witness of terror, or to oppose it by writing against it. It will be of interest to sociologists, anthropologists, and students of, ethnography.

Pages : 342
Book Description
Teens in Latin America and the Caribbean generally face a difficult path to adulthood. Poverty and unemployment, violence, political instability, and emigration are frequently the norm in their native countries. Those from poorer families must often work as well as attend school, and opportunities for higher education and good jobs are limited. Wealthier teens, on the other hand, are sheltered from harshness and enjoy private schools, vacations abroad, and access to American consumer products. Yet family is important no matter what the class, and most of these teens share a love of parties, music, and current fashions. Latin America and the Caribbean are important regions to the United States, since large numbers of Americans can trace their roots there. Teen Life in Latin America and the Caribbean allows U.S. teens to understand the unique challenges and opportunities of teens in 15 Latin American or Caribbean countries. Photos complement the text.
