Download or read book Critical Ethnography and Education written by Katie Fitzpatrick and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-04-28 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Fitzpatrick and May make the case for a reimagined approach to critical ethnography in education. Working with an expansive understanding of critical, they argue that many researchers already do the kind of critical ethnography suggested in this book, whether they call their studies critical or not. Drawing on a wide range of educational studies, the authors demonstrate that a methodology that is lived, embodied, and personal—and fundamentally connected to notions of power—is essential to exploring and understanding the many social and political issues facing education today. By grounding studies in work that reimagines, troubles, and questions notions of power, injustice, inequity, and marginalization, such studies engage with the tenets of critical ethnography. Offering a wide-ranging and insightful commentary on the influences of critical ethnography over time, Fitzpatrick and May interrogate the ongoing theoretical developments, including poststructuralism, postcolonialism, and posthumanism. With extensive examples, excerpts, and personal discussions, the book thus repositions critical ethnography as an expansive, eclectic, and inclusive methodology that has a great deal to offer educational inquiries. Overviewing theoretical and methodological arguments, the book provides insight into issues of ethics and positionality as well as an in-depth focus on how ethnographic research illuminates such topics as racism, language, gender and sexuality in educational settings. It is essential reading for students, scholars, and researchers in qualitative inquiry, ethnography, educational anthropology, educational research methods, sociology of education, and philosophy of education.
Download or read book Anthropologie written by Mondher Kilani and published by Armand Colin. This book was released on 2009 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pendant longtemps, l'anthropologie a été associée à l'étude des sociétés exotiques. Dès sa constitution, elle a cependant poursuivi un autre objectif, celui de transcender les particularismes et de penser l'humanité dans son ensemble. À une époque marquée par la globalisation, son privilège scientifique réside précisément dans cette capacité de varier les échelles d'observation et d'articuler l'universel et le particulier. Plus qu'une simple introduction, cet ouvrage a pour ambition de présenter les débats et les orientations qui traversent actuellement la discipline, d'interroger sa démarche et de l'inscrire dans l'histoire de la pensée de l'altérité. En abordant des problématiques en prise avec les transformations que le monde a connues depuis deux décennies (mondialisation, multiculturalisme, postcolonialisme, conflits de mémoires, génocides...), il souligne enfin que les questions épistémologiques qui se posent à l'anthropologie sont aussi des questions politiques.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Marqué par l'expérience de l'exil, ce volume témoigne d'un moment à la fois biographique et historique au cours duquel, comme nombre d'artistes et savants juifs européens, Claude Lévi-Strauss est réfugié à New York. Écrits entre 1941 et 1947, alors qu'il n'a pas encore délaissé ses réflexions politiques, les dix-sept chapitres de ce livre restituent une préhistoire de l'anthropologie structurale. Ces années américaines sont aussi celles de la prise de conscience de catastrophes historiques irrémédiables : l'extermination des Indiens d'Amérique, le génocide des Juifs d'Europe. À partir des années 1950, l'anthropologie de Lévi-Strauss semble sourdement travaillée par le souvenir et la possibilité de la Shoah, qui n'est jamais nommée. L'idée de "signifiant zéro" est au fondement même du structuralisme. Parler d'Anthropologie structurale zéro, c'est donc revenir à la source d'une pensée qui a bouleversé notre conception de l'humain. Mais cette préhistoire des Anthropologies structurales un et deux souligne aussi le sentiment de tabula rasa qui animait leur auteur au sortir de la guerre et le projet - partagé avec d'autres - d'un recommencement civilisationnel sur des bases nouvelles."--Page 4 of cover.
Download or read book Logics of History written by William H. Sewell Jr. and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-07-27 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While social scientists and historians have been exchanging ideas for a long time, they have never developed a proper dialogue about social theory. William H. Sewell Jr. observes that on questions of theory the communication has been mostly one way: from social science to history. Logics of History argues that both history and the social sciences have something crucial to offer each other. While historians do not think of themselves as theorists, they know something social scientists do not: how to think about the temporalities of social life. On the other hand, while social scientists’ treatments of temporality are usually clumsy, their theoretical sophistication and penchant for structural accounts of social life could offer much to historians. Renowned for his work at the crossroads of history, sociology, political science, and anthropology, Sewell argues that only by combining a more sophisticated understanding of historical time with a concern for larger theoretical questions can a satisfying social theory emerge. In Logics of History, he reveals the shape such an engagement could take, some of the topics it could illuminate, and how it might affect both sides of the disciplinary divide.

Download or read book Prescribing HIV Prevention written by Nicola Bulled and published by Left Coast Press. This book was released on 2014-11-30 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical health communication scholars point out that the acceptance of HIV risk prevention methods are bound inside inequitable structures of power and knowledge. Nicola Bulled’s in-depth ethnographic account of how these messages are selected, transmitted and reacted to by young adults in the AIDS-torn population of Lesotho in southern Africa provides a crucial example of the importance of a culture-centered approach to health communication. She shows the clash between traditional western perceptions of how increased knowledge will increase compliance with western ideas of prevention, and mixed messages offered by local religious, educational, and media institutions. Bulled also demonstrates how structural and geographical forces prevent the delivery and acceptance of health messages, and how local communities shape their own knowledge of health, disease and illness. This volume will be of interest to medical anthropologists and sociologists, to those in health communication, and to researchers working on issues related to HIV.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between the literature and the anthropology of the eighteenth century is studied here on a double level: on the one hand that of literary production, with analysis of novels, collective works or autobiographies, and on the other hand that of poetical theory and the paratext, with the study of titles and forewords of novels and travel journals. These different studies converge in the fundamental idea that literature functions as a thought experience that allows us to transgress the borders of knowledge of man. French text.

Download or read book Scenarios of the Imaginary written by Josue V. Harari and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-30 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Proust to Beckett, from Blanchot to Derrida from Freud to Lacan, and from Lévi-Strauss to René Girard, all of our theories of modernity have been predicated upon a nostalgia for the real. In this lively and perceptive diagnosis of the malaise of contemporary theorists, Josué Harari interprets the French Enlightenment in terms of the relationship between theory and the imaginary, and explores the paradox by which theories that purport to describe the real lack any dimension of reality. Through readings of texts by some of the progenitors of influential modem theories, Harari explores the working strategies of the imaginary. In particular, he illuminates the founding moment, an instant of personal crisis for the author, during which a theory is infused by a fictional scenario: Montesquieu's "phantasm" of the body, resulting in his theory of government; Rousseau's narcissistic delirium in Emile, resulting in his theory of education; the theory of psychoanalysis, resulting from Freud's unconscious motives for choosing the Oedipal theory over the seduction theory of neurosis; and the theory of structural anthropology, generated by a psychodrama in Tristes Tropiques which Harari reads as a symptom of Lévi-Strauss's anguish when he is confronted with reality. Two striking chapters on Sade at the center of the book reveal the operation of the theoretical imaginary in libertine discourse. Scenarios of the Imaginary will find a wide audience among students and scholars of French literature, particularly of the eighteenth century, and of contemporary French thought, and among comparativists, literary theorists, anthropologists, and historians.
Download or read book L autorit religieuse et ses limites en terres d islam written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-03-15 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reprenant à nouveaux frais la question de l'autorité religieuse, ce livre présente différents cas d'étude en Asie centrale, à travers l'Empire ottoman, dans les Balkans et en Turquie. Sont examinés les rapports complexes qu'entretiennent, avec le pouvoir politique, cheikhs soufis, oulémas, sheikh ul-islâm, hégoumènes, ou encore clergé latin à l'époque prémoderne. Les XXe et XXIe siècles sont analysés du point de vue des transformations de l'autorité religieuse, certes fragmentée mais vigoureuse, en particulier chez les réformistes musulmans bosniaques et les Bektashis albanais, également parmi les Alévis d'Anatolie ou bien dans le soufisme féminin à Istanbul. Il apparaît que l'autorité religieuse dépasse le seul cadre des autorités traditionnelles et se heurte sans cesse à des limites théologiques, politiques, sociales ou institutionnelles. Ont contribué/contributors include: Elisabetta Borromeo, Xavier Bougarel, Rachida Chih, Nathalie Clayer, Jérôme Cler, Benoît Fliche, Anna Neubauer, Alexandre Papas, Nicolas Vatin, Gilles Veinstein. Reconsidering the question of religious authority, L'autorité religieuse et ses limites en terres d'islam offers various case studies located in Central Asia, throughout the Ottoman Empire, in the Balkans and in Turkey. The present volume discusses the complex relationships between political power and religious authorities, such as Sufi shaykhs, ulamas, sheikh ul-islâm, hegumens, and the latin clergy in the premodern period. The 20th and 21th centuries are analysed from the perspective of the transformation of religious authority - certainly fragmented but vigorous - among the Bosnian Muslim Reformists, the Albanian Bektashis, the Alevis of Anatolia, and in female Sufism in Istanbul. It appears that religious authority is not limited to traditional authorities and is continuously confronted with limits, whether theological, political, social or institutional.

Book excerpt: A collection of timely new scholarship, Repair: Sustainable Design Futures investigates repair as a contemporary expression of empowerment, agency, and resistance to our unmaking of the world and the environment. Repair is an act, metaphor, and foundation for opening up a dialogue about design’s role in proposing radically different social, environmental, and economic futures. Thematically expansive and richly illustrated, with over 125 visuals, this volume features an international, interdisciplinary group of contributors from across the design spectrum whose voices and artwork speak to how we might address our broken social and physical worlds. Organized around reparative thinking and practices, the book includes 30 long and short chapters, photo essays, and interviews that focus on multiple responses to fractured systems, relationships, cities, architecture, objects, and more. Repair will encourage students, academics, researchers, and practitioners in art, design and architecture practice and theory, cultural studies, environment and sustainability, to discuss, engage, and rethink the act of repair and its impact on our society and environment.
