Where Is 'Community' In Community Based Forestry?, Courtney G. Flint, A. E. Luloff, James C. Finley Jun 2008

Where Is 'Community' In Community Based Forestry?, Courtney G. Flint, A. E. Luloff, James C. Finley

Sociology, Social Work and Anthropology Faculty Publications

Community-based forestry and community-based natural resource management have become increasingly common terms in both the scientific and popular press. However, as with so many other concepts currently in vogue, rarely do studies invoking them incorporate either a grounded theoretical understanding or practical inclusion of the central term: community. Community emerges through communication and interaction among people who care about each other and the place they live. In its purest form, community is marked by its multiple and often conflicting perspectives. This article draws upon recent research experience with the Ford Foundation's community-based forestry initiative to illustrate the importance of solidly …

Message In A Bottle: Lyrical Laments And Emotional Expression In Mandopop, Marc L. Moskowitz Jun 2008

Message In A Bottle: Lyrical Laments And Emotional Expression In Mandopop, Marc L. Moskowitz

Faculty Publications

This article explores the ubiquitous themes of loneliness, isolation and anomie in Mandopop (Mandarin Chinese language pop music). This is not to imply that people in the PRC and Taiwan are lonelier than people from other countries but, rather, that being human they experience these emotions. What is distinctive here is that Mandopop becomes a primary conduit to express feelings that are sanctioned in daily speech. The article addresses these concerns and uses in-depth interviews in Shanghai and Taipei to find out why Mandopop's themes of loneliness and isolation are so resonant to its fans.

Black Women, Beauty, And Labor: Towards An Archaeology Of African-American Women In Indianapolis, Indiana, Genesis M. Snyder Jun 2008

Black Women, Beauty, And Labor: Towards An Archaeology Of African-American Women In Indianapolis, Indiana, Genesis M. Snyder

Masters Theses

For two consecutive summers (2002 and 2003), I conducted fieldwork in the Ransom Place Archaeology neighborhood on the near Westside of Indianapolis, Indiana. I found myself increasingly drawn to the material culture left behind by the African-American women who had lived in the area roughly 100 years ago. Such material culture begs many questions: What social and political forces influenced the construction of African-American women's understandings of self in the early twentieth century? Who was responsible for the construction and dissemination of beauty ideals, notions about women's work, and how did those ideals differ across the color line? Using as …

La Cultura En Disputa: Pintura Figurativa E Identidad Étnica Entre Los Ishir (Alto Paraguay), Ana Maria Spadafora, Luisina Morano Jun 2008

La Cultura En Disputa: Pintura Figurativa E Identidad Étnica Entre Los Ishir (Alto Paraguay), Ana Maria Spadafora, Luisina Morano

Tipití: Journal of the Society for the Anthropology of Lowland South America

Desde mediados del Siglo XX, los ishir del Gran Chaco han sufrido transformaciones económicas, políticas e ideológicas que derivaron en una substitución de pautas y prácticas de comportamiento y pusieron en disputa el valor y el significado de la cultura en el nuevo contexto. Esta discusión se manifiesta—como en muchos otros casos etnográficos—en una marcada fractura generacional entre padres que vivieron la vida montaraz e hijos cuya crianza citadina los ubica en un umbral lejano a la experiencia del monte y en un contexto interétnico ajeno a los valores y motivaciones culturales de los ancianos. Sobre la base de nuestra …

Social Networks And Cultivated Plants: Exchange Of Planting Materials And Knowledge, Joana Cabral De Oliveira Jun 2008

Social Networks And Cultivated Plants: Exchange Of Planting Materials And Knowledge, Joana Cabral De Oliveira

Tipití: Journal of the Society for the Anthropology of Lowland South America

Este artigo discute a dinâmica de trocas e importação de plantas cultivadas feitas pelos Wajãpi, grupo indígena que vive nas bacias dos rios Amaparí e Jarí na Amazônia brasileira. A história dos Wajãpi é permeada por intensas relações de trocas entre subgrupos Wajãpi, com outros grupos indígenas e, mais recentemente, com não-índios, sendo as espécies cultivadas um objeto de vivo interesse nessas relações. Parto de dados sobre os sistemas de classificação nativos das plantas cultivadas para reconstruir a dinâmica e os padrões de relações sociais internas a esse grupo, bem como suas alteridades. Procuro desvendar assim, uma intricad rede de …
