  • Théoriser La Violence En Amérique Retour Sur Trente Ans D’Ethnographie
    1208_0029_P_139_168_Bourgois_Q7:Mise en page 1 24/10/12 9:49 Page 139 Théoriser la violence en Amérique Retour sur trente ans d’ethnographie Philippe Bourgois A NTHROPOLOGUE travaillant depuis 1979 sur la violence, la pauvreté et les inégalités sociales, en Amérique centrale d’abord, puis aux États-Unis, j’ai craint, au fil des ans, d’être véritablement obsédé par la violence. Hélas, il est plus juste de dire que la violence s’est imposée à moi parce qu’elle est, et a toujours été, au cœur de l’organisation du pouvoir dans la vie quotidienne. L’ethnographe risque bien sûr de contribuer à un voyeurisme, une porno- graphie de la brutalité. Toutefois, le danger est plus grand encore de ne pas voir la violence ; bien souvent le discours anthropologique n’en tient pas compte alors qu’elle accable les populations étudiées. La violence est inéga- lement répartie dans le monde. La façon dont elle soutient différentes struc- tures de pouvoir et d’exploitation mérite d’être analysée et dénoncée. Hélas, si la violence physique directe se voit aisément, elle ne représente que la partie émergée de l’iceberg et masque bien souvent, aux yeux des chercheurs, des formes moins flagrantes – et variant insidieusement avec le temps – de coercition, de peur et d’assujettissement. En règle générale, ces déclinaisons de la violence ne sont pas perçues ou reconnues en tant que telles par les victimes et les auteurs de violences (qui bien souvent sont une seule et même personne). Pareil aveuglement légitime aux yeux de l’ensemble de la population les politiques publiques punitives qui infligent des souffrances aux plus vulnérables.

Poor ecological conditions con­ tribute to the nature of the dilemma, but another factor in the apparent cultural stagnation of the Northeast, may be the persistence of values and social practices traditiona.lly alig!1ed with the colonial sugar plantation system. Thus, this thesis represents e~ examination of the continuity of a given pattern, the man/patron relationship.

  • Paper We Map the Long-Term, Worldwide Shift in Gender Ratios Among Migrant Populations
    Gender Ratios in Global Migrations, 1850-2000 J. Trent Alexander Minnesota Population Center University of Minnesota Katharine M. Donato Department of Sociology Vanderbilt University Donna R. Gabaccia Department of History and Immigration History Research Center University of Minnesota Johanna Leinonen Department of History University of Minnesota April 2008 Funding for this project has been provided by the University of Minnesota's Office of International Programs, the Minnesota Population Center and the University of Minnesota's Immigration History Research Center. The collection of the source data was supported by grants to the Minnesota Population Center from the National Institute for Child Health and Human Development and the National Science Foundation. 1 Introduction Scholars in many disciplines have observed that men historically far outnumbered women among international movers. Two of geographer E.G. Ravenstein's late- nineteenth century "laws of migration" asserted that (1) short-distance migrants generally outnumbered longer distance ones, and that (2) within-country moves were usually dominated by women and between-country moves were dominated by men. Although many geographers have critiqued and extended Ravenstein's work, these two often- repeated laws have rarely been challenged since they were written in the late 1800s. Many textbooks in demography and world history presented these theories as conventional wisdom for much of the twentieth century (e.g., Peterson 1969: 264; United Nations 1979: 4; Manning 2005: 11). In the early 1980s, however, researchers at the U.S. Department of Labor and elsewhere pointed toward a "remarkable shift" in migrant gender ratios, from women constituting less than one-third of all U.S.-bound migrants in 1900 to almost one-half in the 1970s (Houston et al.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality o f the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “ Missing Page(s)” . I f it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image o f the page can be found in the adjacent frame. I f copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part o f the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer o f a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. I f necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

Anthropology in Our Moment in History: Interview with Philippe Bourgois Robert Borofsky, Hawaii Pacific University, Center for a Public Anthropology [email protected] How did you become an anthropologist? Discovering anthropology for me was like falling in love. I was a freshman in college and I knew nothing about the subject. I didn’t have a major. I took one of those big introductory classes in a large lecture hall because I was curious, but I didn’t really have any idea what anthropology might be. The very first lecture blew my mind. It was by an old- style style anthropologist talking about his fieldwork in the Amazon.

Photographing Anthropologists Photographing Cultures By Nirmala Jayaraman ******** Submitted in partial fulfillment Of the requirements for Honors in the Department for Anthropology UNION COLLEGE March, 2013 ABSTRACT Nirmala Jayaraman, Photographing Anthropologists Photographing Cultures. Department of Anthropology, March, 2013. My thesis explores how anthropologists use photography as a research method in capturing cultural realities different from their own. This was a library-based research study where coding and semiotic analysis were used to investigate photographs from anthropologists and my term abroad experience of photographing another culture in Vietnam, fall 2011. This analysis specifically looks at the photographs of Branislaw Malinowski’s fieldwork in the Trobriand Islands during the early 1900’s, of Margaret Mead’s fieldwork in a Balinese village during the 1930’s and 1940’s, and of Philippe Bourgois’ fieldwork in a San Francisco inner-city homeless community during the 1990’s. Over time, the camera lens shift from focusing on the anthropologist’s authoritative position to balancing objective and subjective lens’ to finally acknow- ledging the presence of multiple subjectivities both in front of and behind the camera.

  • Introduction to Socio-Cultural Anthropology Prof
    Introduction to Socio-Cultural Anthropology Prof. Erik Harms (Links to an external site.) Department of Anthropology (Links to an external site.) : 10 Sachem Street (Links to an external site.), Room 120 erik.harms@ya Course Meetings: Office Hours: TBD • • M,W,F, 9:10 -11:15 • Online -- on zoom Section Scheduling Doodle: Course Description: This course is an introduction to socio-cultural anthropology, the study of human society and culture. Anthropologists write ethnographies based on long-term intensive fieldwork and participant observation and also theorize broadly about “big questions” associated with human sociality: How do cultural models and belief systems influence the ways people interact in social settings? How does power work? What binds people together and what leads to conflict? And so on. This course will introduce students to some of the major themes in modern anthropological thinking about culture, symbolism, and social structure; power and human agency (or “free will”); sex and gender; race and ethnicity; economic relations, commoditization and gift exchange; cosmology and belief systems; and other topics. In addition to introducing students to highlights in the history of anthropological thought, students will read several recent ethnographies exploring the lives of urban drug users, Wall Street i-bankers, and others. Course Goals: 1. To learn the broad scope and methods of socio-cultural anthropology through cross-cultural analysis of Western and non-Western cultures, including the student’s own. 2. To learn concepts, terminology, and methods related to the comparative study of different forms of social organization, economic systems, and processes of cultural change. 3. To sample anthropological research methods via course projects.
