Ixtlan and Guelatao, indigenous Zapotec communities in the Sierra Norte of Oaxaca, Mexico, have achieved an important degree of community-based autonomy relying on dialogue at the internal and external level. This book explores the relation between the construction of autonomy and the exercise of intercultural dialogue at the intra-community, inter-community and external levels through the analysis of three main themes.

structure of Chinese from Hong Kong, with disturbing consequences for the Pacific Region. The Sino-British Joint Declaration of 1984 set the restoration of Hong Kong to the PRC at July 1, 1997.

Professions in Civil Society and the State: Invariant Foundations and Consequences
ISBN: 9789004178311 / Angielski / Twarda / 490 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Professions are central to any political sociology of major associations, organizations and venues in civil society underpinning democracy; they are not a subset of livelihoods in a mundane sociology of work and occupations. Professions in Civil Society and the State is at once elegant and startling in its directness and the sheer scope of its implications for future comparative research and theory. Not since Talcott Parsons during the early 1970s has any sociologist (or political scientist) pursued this line of inquiry. Sciulli's theoretical approach differs fundamentally from...

Marginalisation of Australian Aborigines
ISBN: 9783639150353 / Angielski / Miękka / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Despite years of policy attention, Aboriginal people
still represent the poorest and most marginalised group in the Australian society. Previous research has shown that indigenous Australians are significantly disadvantaged in terms of economic, social and cultural rights. With a notion of relative poverty in affluent societies and a framework involving non-economic factors as a point of departure, this book gives an empirical account of lived experiences of social exclusion in a specific urban indigenous community. The data analysis reveals that general misconceptions of Aboriginal... Despite years of policy attention, Aboriginal people

For when the guests come
ISBN: 9783639161410 / Angielski / Miękka / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. International languages of management, therapy,
marketing and advertising have their own jargon, specialized terminology and global standard phrases. In the development discourse, "sustainability", "rights based", "participatory" are some frequently used terms. The "right for children to participate" is among the development concepts that travel from an NGO in a Western country, to (in this case) youth and project workers in rural Ethiopia, and back to the donor - seemingly unaffected by the many local adaptations that the concept has undergone on the way. In the daily lives of village... International languages of management, therapy,

Sexual and Reproductive Issues Among the Akamba of Kenya

This book explores sexual and reproductive issues and their implication for the management of childbearing, STD and HIV/AIDS in an African community. The destabilisation of traditional African social institutions that provided support and maintained a balance between individuals, family and community has impacted negatively on reproductive health of both men and women. This change has also exposed them to dangers associated with sex. The author further discusses cultural perceptions and explanations of reproductive successes or failures and drawing on specific cases from the Akamba of Kenya,...

The Anthropology of Moralities
ISBN: 9781845455927 / Angielski / Twarda / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Anthropologists have been keenly aware of the tension between cultural relativism and absolute norms, and nowhere has this been more acute than with regards to moral values. Can we study the Other's morality without applying our own normative judgments? How do social anthropologists keep both the distance required by science and the empathy required for the analysis of lived experiences? The plurality of moralities has not received an explicit and focused attention until recently, when accelerated globalization often resulted in the collision of different value systems. Observing,...

Hungarian Elections in 2002 The Dynamics of National Symbols and Emotions
ISBN: 9783639102864 / Angielski / Miękka / 68 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Hungarian elections in 2002 serve as delicacy not only for political scientists, but also for all kinds of social scientists. The theory of rational choice is not enough in itself to explain the results of the two rounds. The role of emotions and symbols represented in the theory of symbolic politics seems to be unavoidable in the analysis.
There are two common features of the two-round elections all around the world: the participation is higher in the first round, and in the second one people tend to vote for the party that seems to be winning. Contrary to these tendencies in the... The Hungarian elections in 2002 serve as delicacy not only for political scientists, but also for all kinds of social scientists. The theory of ration...

The Indigenous Factor
ISBN: 9783639107975 / Angielski / Miękka / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Kapa haka (Maori dance group) is a cultural phenomenon unique to Aotearoa New Zealand. Part of what makes this performing art so unique is how it engages individuals to express themselves in a very powerful, creative and dynamic manner. In contrast, however, investigating the educational benefits associated with Maori students participating in kapa haka in New Zealand mainstream secondary schools, remains relatively unexplored. As a way of seeking to understand this cultural phenomenon, 20 Maori kapa haka students and 27 teachers were invited to share their experiences and perceptions about...

The Mexican Aristocracy: An Expressive Ethnography, 1910-2000
ISBN: 9780292719514 / Angielski / Miękka / 398 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Mexican aristocracy today is simultaneously an anachronism and a testimony to the persistence of social institutions. Shut out from political power by the democratization movements of the twentieth century, stripped of the basis of its great wealth by land reforms in the 1930s, the aristocracy nonetheless maintains a strong sense of group identity through the deeply held belief that their ancestors were the architects and rulers of Mexico for nearly four hundred years. This expressive ethnography describes the transformation of the Mexican aristocracy from the onset of the...

International Blogging: Identity, Politics, and Networked Publics
ISBN: 9781433102349 / Angielski / Twarda / 205 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Bloggers around the world produce material for local, national and international audiences, yet they are developing in ways that are distinct from the U.S. model. Through case studies of blogs written in English, Chinese, Arab, French, Russian, and Hebrew, this book explores the way blogging is being conceptualized in different cultural contexts. The authors move beyond the most highly trafficked sites to shed light on larger developments taking place online, calling into question assumptions that form the foundation of much of what we read on blogging and, by extension, on global amateur or...

Inequality, Poverty, and Neoliberal Governance : Activist Ethnography in the Homeless Sheltering Industry
ISBN: 9781442600867 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Why did the rate of homelessness remain at significant levels while the US economy was supposedly booming and hundreds of millions of dollars were spent in the homeless sheltering industry? Drawing upon five years of ethnographic fieldwork in a homeless shelter in Northampton, Massachusetts, Lyon-Callo argues that homelessness must be understood within the context of increasing neoliberal policies, practices, and discourses. As advocates, activists, policy makers, and homeless people focused attention on market-based and individualized practices of reform and governance, collective efforts...

Video Interaction Analysis: Methods and Methodology

This volume presents a collection of approaches to the emerging field of video analysis in the social sciences. Although the importance of visual qualitative methods has increased, video analysis cannot draw upon a single method or methodology. Therefore this book will structure the diverse approaches in order to identify their traditions. It assembles studies from linguistic anthropology as well as conversation analysis, sociological hermeneutics, ethnography, phenomenology and finally focused ethnography. Practical questions will be asked, as for instance, how the fact of being filmed...
