Les crânes déformés de Saint-Etienne (Beaune, Côte d'Or, Ve-VIe siècles). Données archéologiques et anthropologiques
1995
The sector of the Saint-Étienne necropolis (Beaune), reveals the existence of two clearly separated zones which are characterized by different funeral and cultural practices: tomb architecture, archaeological material and artificially deformed crania. This seems to provide evidence of two distinct groups. A preliminary morpho-metrical study of four skulls and the examination of several CT scans of three of them, allow us to confirm the presence of artificial antero-posterior cranial deformations.
Nascita e sviluppi del concetto antropologico di cultura nei paesi di lingua tedesca
2022
Austrian and German anthropological traditions are considered in view of the influence they had on global anthropology. The chapter is built round the centrality of the anthropological notion of culture and cultural dynamics. The particularistic and relativist notion of culture is in fact believed to have emerged from in Germany from the XVIII century, where intellectuals have juxtaposed the term Kultur to Zivilisation. Within German anthropology, universalistic perspectives on culture have continued through the Nineteenth Century, as in the evolutionary approach of Gustav Klemm and Johann Jakob Bachofen. A different form of cultural universalism was introduced by Adolf Bastian with his the…
Introduction.
2019
In geography, the notion of scale has been discussed within diverse theoretical frameworks. The concept of geographical scale indicates socio-spatial organization within a bounded geographical area – usually labelled as size (such as province or continent) or level (such as global, national, regional, local, and even household). Besides these ‘technical’ definitions, recent research also includes more nuanced elaborations. The introductory chapter discusses four conceptualizations for understanding and utilizing the concept of scale that are critical in underscoring the power relations in heritage. These conceptualizations – scale as a hierarchy, scale as an instrument of power, scale as a …

Le non-public et la culture. Une étude de cas en banlieue
2012
Photographic exhibitions are organized since 2004 on the banks of the river Marne at Fleury-la-Rivière within the context of an annual event --the Festival de l'Oh!, initiated by the conseil général of the Val-de-Marne. This type of exhibition does not succeed in attracting the "non-public". The representations held by the people concerned can block their interaction with the works presented on such a public space. This study is part of an on-going general study of the non-public and its relation to culture. This is a qualitative study carried out in various "stops" of the Festival de l'Oh! The paper is only concerned with immigrants met in housing estates in the upper districts of Fleury.
The posthumous condition of gossip: Death and its reputational benediction
2017
Gossiping is ubiquitous in social life. In every imaginable corner of society, people from all walks of life are gossiping their living acquaintances. But what happens when the “third party,” i.e., the subject of gossip, is absent par excellence, not only temporarily and spatially, but definitively? Do people continue to gossip their dead acquaintances? What is the fate of gossip after its target dies? These are the questions this paper sets out to address. In doing so, it develops a non-reductionist sequential model of death as a social process in which biological death is only the starting point of the bio-social phenomenon of dying. Building on some classic anthropological theories and c…
Dallo studio delle culture indigene a un progetto di analisi critica della modernità. L’antropologia «fatta in» Colombia
2022
Based on a critical assessment of the historiography of Colombian anthropology, the chapter provides a synthesis of the history of anthropology made in Colombia, defined as “that produced in the country and which constitutes an empirical, methodological or conceptual contribution to new anthropological works or debates in Colombia” (Restrepo, Rojas, Saade 2017). The history of Colombian anthropology can be generally divided into three periods. The first goes from 1941 till 1968 and coincides with the birth and the institutional and academic consolidation of the disciplinary field. The second goes from 1968 till 1991: these years are marked by the rise and fall of the season of social and po…
