Download or read book Antropolog a del g nero written by Aurelia Martín Casares and published by Ediciones Cátedra. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Existe una tendencia muy generalizada a confundir "género" con "mujeres"; es decir, a pensar que cualquier investigación de género se centrará exclusivamente en las mujeres, mostrándolas persistentemente como víctimas del sistema patriarcal. Otro error común consiste en identificar "género" con "sexo" y, por tanto, creer que se trata de un concepto dual (masculino y femenino). Este libro pone de manifiesto la falacia de ambas afirmaciones y abre el horizonte intelectual a nuevas interpretaciones y metodologías de investigación que se alejan de los estereotipos tradicionales. Analiza la construcción de las identidades de género en diferentes culturas del mundo, desde los «hijras» de la India a la Samoa de Margaret Mead, y realiza un recorrido por la historia de la Antropología del género.

Book excerpt: This collection brings together key theoretical issues and rich ethnographic cases in the feminist anthropology of Latin America in order to explore the ways that 'place' - understood both geographically and metaphorically - can serve as a key vehicle for analyzing the cultural, social, and historical specificity of gender relations and ideologies. Like Dorothy Hodgson's volume, Gendered Modernities, the book seeks to unite ethnographic specificity with theoretical cohesion in a way that demonstrates the unique contribution that anthropology can make to gender and area studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antropologías Feministas en México: Epistemologías, éticas, prácticas y miradas diversas constituye un esfuerzo colectivo que plasma una poderosa conversación entre antropólogas de varias instituciones, regiones y generaciones. A través de 20 capítulos se abordan desde los modelos epistemológicos surgidos en los años 80, hasta los acercamientos metodológicos, como el dialógico y el colaborativo. Se presentan trayectorias personales y temas abordados desde la perspectiva feminista, que dan cuenta de la persistencia de la cultura patriarcal y la violencia estructural que lesiona los derechos de las mujeres y de otros sujetos diversos, pero también se documentan expresiones de su agencia desde la academia, el activismo político, las organizaciones de la sociedad civil, los movimientos de mujeres indígenas, afrodescendientes, campesinas, lgtb+, entre otros; mostrando la vigencia del feminismo como una de las corrientes teórico-políticas más significativas de este milenio. La obra en su conjunto es una contribución a los debates actuales y al diálogo dentro y fuera de las ciencias antropológicas.
Download or read book Empowering Women written by Carmen Diana Deere and published by University of Pittsburgh Pre. This book was released on 2001-01-15 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The expansion of married women's property rights was a main achievement of the first wave of feminism in Latin America. As Carmen Diana Deeere and Magdalena Leon reveal, however, the disjuncture between rights and actual ownership remains vast. This is particularly true in rural areas, where the distribution of land between men and women is highly unequal. In their pioneering, twelve-country comparative study, the authors argue that property ownership is directly related to womenÆs bargaining power within the household and community, point out changes resulting from recent gender-progressive legislation, and identify additional areas for future reform, including inheritance rights of wives.
Download or read book Women s Right to the City written by Cruz Armando González Izaguirre and published by Nomos Verlag. This book was released on 2019-11-20 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der Autor analysiert, wie Frauen ihre politischen Ansprüche auf "Wohnen mit der Familie" als politischer Kategorie in der Gestaltung von Stadträumen in Sinaloa (Mexiko) Mitte der 70er und 80er Jahre gestalteten. Frauen forderten und verstärkten die kulturelle und politische Bedeutung der Selbstverwaltung der Frauen, während sie versuchten, ihre dringenden Wohnbedürfnisse zu erfüllen: ein Stück Land für ihre Kinder zu erwerben und diesen zu legalisieren. Diese intergenerationelle Beziehung zwischen der politischen Partizipation von Frauen und der Familie als politischer Kategorie zeigt, dass die Familie ein entscheidender Faktor bei der Entwicklung von Siedlungen unterschiedlicher Intensität und Bedeutung war. Das politische Engagement der Frauen fand während ihres gesamten Kampfes um den Zugang zu Wohnraum statt: Landnahme, Organisation neuer Siedlungen und Erlangung des rechtlichen Eigentums an ihren Grundstücken. Die individuellen und kollektiven Erfahrungen der Frauen zeigen daher einen dynamischen Prozess der politischen Subjektwerdung, der auf dem Anspruch "ein Stück Land für die Familie" basiert.

Download or read book After Exile written by Amy K. Kaminsky and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can an exiled writer ever really go home again? What of the writers of Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile, whose status as exiles in the 1970s and 1980s largely defined their identities and subject matter? After Exile takes a critical look at these writers, at the effect of exile on their work, and at the complexities of homecoming -- a fraught possibility when democracy was restored to each of these countries. Both famous and lesser known writers people this story of dislocation and relocation, among them Jose Donoso, Ana Vasquez, Luisa Valenzuela, Cristina Peri Rossi, and Mario Benedetti. In their work -- and their predicament -- Amy K. Kaminsky considers the representation of both physical uprootedness and national identity -- or, more precisely, an individual's identity as a national subject. Here, national identity is not the double abstraction of "identity" and "nation, " but a person's sense of being and belonging that derives from memories and experiences of a particular place. Because language is crucial to this connection, Kaminsky explores the linguistic isolation, miscommunication, and multilingualism that mark late-exile and post-exile writing. She also examines how gender difference affects the themes and rhetoric of exile -- how, for example, traditional projections of femininity, such as the idea of a "mother country, " are used to allegorize exile. Describing exile as a process -- sometimes of acculturation, sometimes of alienation -- this work fosters a new understanding of how writers live and work in relation to space and place, particularly the place called home.
Download or read book Culinary Art and Anthropology written by Joy Adapon and published by Berg. This book was released on 2008-08-01 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Culinary Art and Anthropology is an anthropological study of food. It focuses on taste and flavour using an original interpretation of Alfred Gell's theory of the 'art nexus'. Grounded in ethnography, it explores the notion of cooking as an embodied skill and artistic practice. The integral role and concept of 'flavour' in everyday life is examined among cottage industry barbacoa makers in Milpa Alta, an outer district of Mexico City. Women's work and local festive occasions are examined against a background of material on professional chefs who reproduce 'traditional' Mexican cooking in restaurant settings. Including recipes to allow readers to practise the art of Mexican cooking, Culinary Art and Anthropology offers a sensual, theoretically sophisticated model for understanding food anthropologically. It will appeal to social scientists, food lovers, and those interested in the growing fields of food studies and the anthropology of the senses.
