Rooted Cosmopolitanism, Heritage and the Question of Belonging
Author: Lennart Wouter Kruijer
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1003861830
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
This book explores the analytical and practical value of the notion of "rooted cosmopolitanism" for the field of cultural heritage. Many concepts of present-day heritage discourses - such as World Heritage, local heritage practices, or indigenous heritage - tend to elide the complex interplay between the local and the global - entanglements that are investigated as "glocalisation" in Globalisation Studies. However, no human group ever creates more than a part of its heritage by itself. This book explores an exciting new alternative in scholarly (critical) heritage discourse, the notion of rooted cosmopolitanism, a way of making manifestations of globalised phenomena comprehensible and relevant at local levels. It develops a critical perspective on heritage and heritage practices, bringing together a highly varied yet conceptually focused set of stimulating contributions by senior and emerging scholars working on the heritage of localities across the globe. A contextualising introduction is followed by three strongly theoretical and methodological chapters which complement the second part of the book, six concrete, empirical chapters written in "response" to the more theoretical chapters. Two final reflective conclusions bring together these different levels of analysis. This book will appeal primarily to archaeologists, anthropologists, heritage professionals, and museum curators who are ready to be confronted with innovative and exciting new approaches to the complexities of cultural heritage in a globalising world.

Game of life and death
Author: Felipe R. Solís Olguín
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Ball games
Languages : es
Pages : 88
Book Description
Film director Roberto Rochín explains in the introduction the purpose of the book "Over 20 years have passed since the filming of "Ulama, the Game of Life and Death" in 1984.... However, the most important effect of the film has been the resurgence of the 'Ulama' ball game in the state of Sinaloa, which during the 1980's was on the verge of extinction. The ancestral sport is one of the most deep-rooted traditions that captures the very essence of Mexico's glorious past and which, fortunately have endure to the 21st century. Because the hazards of modernity continue to threaten the survival of our traditions, we decided to use this very modernity to our advantage by adapting this classic Mexican documentary film to new formats and incorporate an updated analysis and explanation of the concepts it reflects"--P. 9.

World Anthropologies
Author: Gustavo Lins Ribeiro
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000184498
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.
