This book was released on 2012-01-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les liens entre anthropologie et interculturalité semblent « naturels » à première vue. Mais ces liens en fait ne vont pas de soi. C'est pourquoi cet ouvrage se donne pour objectif d'examiner le recours de la didactique des langues et de l'interculturel à divers courants et conceptions de l'anthropologie. Pour tous les auteurs rassemblés ici, il y a d'abord nécessité d'identifier, pour mieux les comprendre, les complexités de l'interculturalité mais aussi de se positionner dans le champ d'une anthropologie plurielle voire éclatée. Certains d'entre eux proposent l'anthropologie comme une approche didactique en soi au sein de la classe de langue, tandis que d'autres s'appuient sur ses concepts et outils pour mener leurs réflexions sur des situations d'enseignement-apprentissage. Ce livre s'adresse aux chercheurs, enseignants et anthropologues qui souhaitent interroger et s'interroger sur les relations entre anthropologie(s) et didactique. The seemingly 'natural' link between anthropology and interculturality is not self-explanatory. For this reason, this book aims to review the use of various forms and understandings of anthropology in language and intercultural education. First of all, it is necessary on the one hand to clarify the notion of interculturality, and on the other hand, to position oneself in the complex and multifaceted field of anthropology. While some authors in the volume describe how they initiate anthropological practices in the language classroom, others explain how they apply theories, concepts and methods from anthropology to research learning and teaching. The volume will be of great value to (novice) researchers, teachers and anthropologists interested in the relationship between anthropology and language and intercultural education.

Download or read book Communication et interculturalit Cultures et interactions interpersonnelles written by FRAME Alexander and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sous l’influence de la mondialisation, les contacts entre cultures et l’hybridation culturelle ne cessent de croître, projetant l’interculturalité au centre de l’espace public. Alors que certaines approches exclusivement focalisées sur les différences culturelles décrivent comment se comporter auprès de groupes étrangers, Communication et interculturalité analyse la manière dont les individus s’adaptent en tenant compte des différentes cultures et identités (professionnelles, organisationnelles, ethniques, régionales, familiales, etc...) qui constituent des repères sémiotiques et symboliques pouvant être mis au service du sens. Il explore ainsi la relation entre cultures, identités et communication interpersonnelle pour comprendre les dynamiques de construction de sens qui émergent dans une interaction réelle. Destiné à un public scientifique mais également à toute personne qui s’interroge sur les relations entre cultures et communication, cet ouvrage développe une approche sémiopragmatique novatrice de la communication interculturelle, inscrite dans le champ naissant de la culture-interaction.

Book excerpt: A decade after the approval of the UNESCO 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH), the concept has gained wide acceptance at the local, national and international levels. Communities are recognizing and celebrating their Intangible Heritage; governments are devoting important efforts to the construction of national inventories; and anthropologists and professionals from different disciplines are forming a new field of study. The ten chapters of this book include the peer-reviewed papers of the First Planning Meeting of the International Social Science Council’s Commission on Research on ICH, which was held at the Centro Regional de Investigaciones Multidisciplinarias (UNAM) in Cuernavaca, Mexico in 2012. The papers are based on fieldwork and direct involvement in assessing and reconceptualizing the outcomes of the UNESCO Convention. The report in Appendix 1 highlights the main points raised during the sessions.

Download or read book Culture Power Place written by Akhil Gupta and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1997-07-24 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthropology has traditionally relied on a spatially localized society or culture as its object of study. The essays in Culture, Power, Place demonstrate how in recent years this anthropological convention and its attendant assumptions about identity and cultural difference have undergone a series of important challenges. In light of increasing mass migration and the transnational cultural flows of a late capitalist, postcolonial world, the contributors to this volume examine shifts in anthropological thought regarding issues of identity, place, power, and resistance. This collection of both new and well-known essays begins by critically exploring the concepts of locality and community; first, as they have had an impact on contemporary global understandings of displacement and mobility, and, second, as they have had a part in defining identity and subjectivity itself. With sites of discussion ranging from a democratic Spain to a Puerto Rican barrio in North Philadelphia, from Burundian Hutu refugees in Tanzania to Asian landscapes in rural California, from the silk factories of Hangzhou to the long-sought-after home of the Palestinians, these essays examine the interplay between changing schemes of categorization and the discourses of difference on which these concepts are based. The effect of the placeless mass media on our understanding of place—and the forces that make certain identities viable in the world and others not—are also discussed, as are the intertwining of place-making, identity, and resistance as they interact with the meaning and consumption of signs. Finally, this volume offers a self-reflective look at the social and political location of anthropologists in relation to the questions of culture, power, and place—the effect of their participation in what was once seen as their descriptions of these constructions. Contesting the classical idea of culture as the shared, the agreed upon, and the orderly, Culture, Power, Place is an important intervention in the disciplines of anthropology and cultural studies.

Download or read book Anthropology as Cultural Critique written by George E. Marcus and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro es en lo esencial un intento de echar luz sobre la situación actual de la antropología social y cultural, momento «experimental» en que cada proyecto de investigación y escritura etnográficas es potencialmente un experimento que quiere cumplir su parte en la reconstrucción del edificio de la teoría antropológica, momento que es siempre un período de eclecticismo, ruptura de paradigmas, fragmentación, pero también aguda conciencia de las limitaciones de las teorías tradicionales para explicar la sociedad, la cultura y la naturaleza de la realidad. En ese marco la etnografía puede jugar un papel crucial en la reconceptualización teórica y la reconstrucción de la teoría social. Por eso los autores califican esta época como «momento etnográfico de las ciencias humanas». En tiempos en que el mundo se encamina aparentemente hacia una homogeneización creciente, la misión de esa disciplina consiste en redescubrir y revelarnos la diversidad, la presencia del «otro exótico», el «otro cultural», ese individuo de costumbres extravagantes que ya no mora exclusivamente en los territorios remotos y extraños, sino entre nosotros, en nuestra propia sociedad y aun en nuestras actitudes y construcciones imaginarias.
Download or read book Culture Through Time written by Emiko Ohnuki-Tierney and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthropological literature has traditionally been static and synchronic, only occasionally according a role to historical processes. but recent years have seen a burgeoning exchange between anthropology and history, each field taking on a powerful new dimension in consequence. Just what this means for anthropologists has not been clear, and this collection (eight core papers plus introduction and final commentary) introduces focus and direction to this interface between anthropology challenges several basic assumptions long held by anthropologists. Researchers can no longer be satisfied with approaches epitomized in 'the ethnographic present'. Society may be a bounded entity, but culture cannot be treated as such; a culture should be examined as it has interacted with other cultures and with its environment over time. Many traditionalists in anthropology, faced with these disturbing new challenges, fear the disintegration of the discipline; but these thoughtful papers demonstrate, on the contrary, its vitality, growth, and promise. In this volume, major figures in symbolic/semiotic anthropology offer various approaches to examining culture through time - culture mediated by history and history mediated by culture - in its complexity and dynamics. The eight core papers focus on particular cultures in various locales: Hawaii, Nepal, Spain, Japan, Israel, India, and Indonesia. No artifical unity - theoretical, thematic, or epistemological - has been imposed. The strength of the volume derives from a complementary diversity and tension, as each player, drawing on a particular culture, offers an original way of penetrating that culture's historical dimensions.
Download or read book Intercultural Encounters written by Wim M. J. van Binsbergen and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2003 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together fifteen essays investigating aspects of interculturality. Like its author, it operates at the borderline between social anthropology and intercultural philosophy. It seeks to make a contribution to intercultural philosophy, by formulating with great precision and painful honesty the lessons deriving from extensive intercultural experiences as an anthropologist. Its culminating section presents an intercultural philosophy revolving on the tenet 'cultures do not exist'. The kaleidoscopic nature of intercultural experiences is reflected in the diversity of these texts. Many belong to a field that could be described as "meta-anthropology", others are more clearly philosophical; occasionally they spill over into belles lettres, ancient history, and comparative cultural and religious studies. The ethnographic specifics supporting the arguments are diverse, deriving from various African situations in which the author has conducted participatory field research (Tunisia, Zambia, Botswana, and South Africa).

Download or read book Out of the Study and Into the Field written by Robert Parkin and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2010 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outside France, French anthropology is conventionally seen as being dominated by grand theory produced by writers who have done little or no fieldwork themselves, and who may not even count as anthropologists in terms of the institutional structures of French academia. This applies to figures from Durkheim to Derrida, Mauss to Foucault, though there are partial exceptions, such as Lévi-Strauss and Bourdieu. It has led to a contrast being made, especially perhaps in the Anglo-Saxon world, between French theory relying on rational inference, and British empiricism based on induction and generally skeptical of theory. While there are contrasts between the two traditions, this is essentially a false view. It is this aspect of French anthropology that this collection addresses, in the belief that the neglect of many of these figures outside France is seriously distorting our view of the French tradition of anthropology overall. At the same time, the collection will provide a positive view of the French tradition of ethnography, stressing its combination of technical competence and the sympathies of its practitioners for its various ethnographic subjects.
