Author: Theory from the South
Author: Jean ComaroffPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317250621
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
As nation-states in the Northern Hemisphere experience economic crisis, political corruption and racial tension, it seems as though they might be 'evolving' into the kind of societies normally associated with the 'Global South'. Anthropologists Jean and John Comaroff draw on their long experience of living in Africa to address a range of familiar themes - democracy, national borders, labour and capital and multiculturalism. They consider how we might understand these issues by using theory developed in the Global South. Challenging our ideas about 'developed' and 'developing' nations, Theory from the South provides new insights into key problems of our time.

In two volumes, the SAGE Handbook of Social Anthropology provides the definitive overview of contemporary research in the discipline.

With 80 authors, contributing more than 60 chapters, this is the most comprehensive and up-to-date statement of research in Social Anthropology available and the essential point of departure for future projects. The Handbook is divided into four sections: -Part I: Interfaces examines Social Anthropology′s disciplinary connections, from Art and Literature to Politics and Economics, from Linguistics to Biomedicine, from History to Media Studies. -Part II: Places examines place, region, culture, and history, from regional, area studies to a globalized world -Part III: Methods examines issues of method; from archives to war zones, from development projects to art objects, and from ethics to comparison -Part IV: Futures anticipates anthropologies to come: in the Brain Sciences; in post-Development; in the Body and Health; and in new Technologies and Materialities Edited by the leading figures in social anthropology, the Handbook includes a substantive introduction by Richard Fardon, a think piece by Jean and John Comaroff, and a concluding last word on futures by Marilyn Strathern. The authors - each at the leading edge of the discipline - contribute in-depth chapters on both the foundational ideas and the latest research. Comprehensive and detailed, this magisterial Handbook overviews the last 25 years of the social anthropological imagination. It will speak to scholars in Social Anthropology and its many related disciplines.
The Time of Anthropology
Author: Elisabeth KirtsoglouPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000182622
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
The Time of Anthropology provides a series of compelling anthropological case studies that explore the different temporalities at play in the scientific discourses, governmental techniques and policy practices through which modern life is shaped. Together they constitute a novel analysis of contemporary chronopolitics. The contributions focus on state power, citizenship, and ecologies of time to reveal the scalar properties of chronopolitics as it shifts between everyday lived realities and the macro-institutional work of nation states. The collection charts important new directions for chronopolitical thinking in the future of anthropological research. The Introduction and Chapters 5, 6, and 8 of this book are freely available as downloadable Open Access PDFs at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.
Shifting States
Author: Alison DundonPublisher: Bloomsbury Academic
ISBN: 9781350125575
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
The 13 chapters in this collection were specially selected from over 400 papers given at the 'Shifting States' conference at the University of Adelaide in Australia in 2017. The papers were selected on the basis of their empirically rich and theoretically engaging contributions to the theme. The volume comprises an ethnographic examination of state agency and the relationships between surveillance, bureaucracy, infrastructure and personhood, making it relevant across a range of contemporary issues. Part I of the volume, 'Dialectics of Security, Surveillance and Struggle', examines trajectories of state organization and security in the context of late-capitalism and technological saturation. Examples here are taken from Aboriginal Australia and urban North America, and include discussions of militarisation, post-colonial settlements, and the politics of migration. Part II, 'Ethnographies of Infrastructure: Assemblage, Experimentation and Mobilization', presents ethnographies of industrial, energy, and transportation infrastructures, and uses these to think about how such large scale projects not only reflect government aspirations, but engender new realms for state-citizen engagements. Examples here are taken from Latin America, Post-Socialist Europe and South-east Asia, and examines issues of contingency, citizenship, and human security. Part III, 'Sensory States, and their Contingent Citizenries', explores the sensual life of state formations, opening up discussion of the politics of embodiment and affect. Examples here are again drawn from Australia, Europe and the Pacific, and include discussions of public health interventions, bio-medical power more broadly, and the politics of intimate relations. Moving seamlessly from the specific to the nation-wide, the volume develops new theoretical understandings of the state and will be of value for scholars of anthropology, political philosophy and political science.
Archaeology and Anthropology
Author: David ShanklandPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000181626
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
Though archaeologists have long acknowledged the work of social anthropologists, anthropologists have been much less eager to repay the compliment. This volume argues that the time has come to recognise the insights archaeological approaches can bring to anthropology. Archaeology's rigorous approach to evidence and material culture; its ability to develop flexible research methodologies; its readiness to work with large-scale models of comparative social change, and to embrace the latest technology all means that it can offer valuable methods that can enrich and enhance current anthropological thinking.Cross-disciplinary and international in scope, this exciting volume draws together cutting-edge essays on the relationship between the two disciplines, arguing for greater collaboration and pointing to new concepts and approaches for anthropology. With contributions from leading scholars, this book will be essential reading for students and scholars of archaeology, anthropology and related disciplines.
