For a History of Anthropology in the Plural

2023

What are the reasons behind the “scientific” positioning that anthropology had adopted since its origins up to a few decades ago? They were certainly cognitive reasons, but they were intertwined with political concerns, ideological frameworks and cultural references. The urge to gain academic legitimacy, reliance on “Western-centric” perspectives and the aspiration to build broad, universal knowledge all played a role. Another significant role was played by its involvement in the project and the projection of colonial supremacy. These are all implicit factors that started to take on an increasingly deliberate problematic form, and finally culminated in the “crisis of representation”, fallin…

Values as a hobby: the transformation and survival of cultural ritual values in the process of desecration

2023

The paper examines how values lose their sacred or protected significance and turn into values as a hobby. Using an excerpt from Arundhati Roy's novel “The God of Small Things”, a trend of transformation of values is outlined, which raises questions about the importance of different values, both sacred and secular, for the representatives of these values. In short, the question is one of the value of values: is their practice (affirmation) meaningful in the basic sense of these values, or is this practice mere imitation as a hobby? The article gives several examples that show the versatility of this topic. The case of Qutb’s Islamism highlights the importance of the distinction between priv…

International audience; Since the 2000s, several researchers from various disciplines recognize and questionthe information structure as the communication processes in territorial approaches.Catalyse method modelled some, whose specifications have been described over thepublications of the INTI network (available on-http://halshs.archivesouvertes.fr/INTI/fr/) or disciplinary (see www.sfsic. org andhttp://rfsic.revues.org/).The structuring of information has seen technological developments described byother colleagues on INTI (JJ.

De la conscience fière au stigmate social : le virilisme ouvrier à l’épreuve des années 1968

2014

La masculinité ouvrière, en tant que caractère(s) du masculin, ressortit, on le sait, au virilisme : l’exhibition du corps fort liée à la dureté du travail, une manière d’exacerbation de la masculinité, relèvent de la culture ouvrière. Dès lors, le virilisme désignerait en première approche une forme d’ostentation de la virilité, qui en vient à faire système : non pas seulement l’exaltation de vertus masculines supposées – force, courage, endurance, etc., mais aussi réflexion, sagacité, etc. ...

Punainen nainen ja kuoleman diskurssi

2003

Artikkelissa tarkastellaan vuoden 1918 työväenperinteessä hahmottuvaa naiskuvaa keskittyen kuolemaa käsitteleviin lauluihin ja runoihin. Aineisto koostuu arkistoaineistosta ja kirjoittajan isoisän sotilasmuistiosta. Punaiset laulut ja runot ovat luokkataistelun aseita ja jo sellaisenaan kiistävää folklorea. Niiden faattinen funktio oli motivoida yksilöt kollektiiviksi sekä ylläpitää ja vahvistaa ryhmän yhteistä ideologista identiteettiä. Niiden keskeiset teemat ovatkin juuri ideologia ja kuolema. Teemojen kautta hahmottuvat paitsi kuolemankäsitykset myös naiskuva - sekä yleinen että kuoleman kautta positioituva. Olennaista on naisen asema suhteessa sotaan. Perinteinen nainen on kuolemaan nä…

O cechach życia w nowym kapitalizmie. Richard Sennett i inspiracja dla antropologii neoliberalizmu

2016

Obowiązujące stosunki ekonomiczne zawsze związane są ze specyficznymi praktykami kulturowymi. Te praktyki kulturowe dostarczają ram dla doświadczania status quo. Współczesny neoliberalizm wydaje się formą kapitalizmu szczególnie przywiązaną właśnie do praktyk kulturowych, w istocie ideologicznych, które skrywają rozmaite relacje władzy, przymus i strukturalne zależności, także te ekonomiczne. Pozostają przy tym trudno uchwytne. Richard Sennett tak nacechowany współczesny kapitalizm nazywa nowym kapitalizmem. Jego analiza zmian instytucjonalnych, ale i osobistych, społecznych kosztów dostarcza krytycznych opisów, które mogą być inspiracją dla antropologii neoliberalizmu. Ta zaś jawi się jako…

HEALTH COVER, THE CASE OF MARTIN AND CAROLINA IN AUSTRALIA

2014

This research examines, from a qualitative perspective, some public opinion related to issues associated with the management of a tensed situation. In that process, it identifies some of the subtle differences in the Anglo-Latino cultural expectations. Martin, an Argentine tourist, contracted the Gullien-Barre syndrome in Australia, while enjoying his honeymoon vacation on a Tasmanian island with his partner Carolina. With the passing of days, Martin lost his mobility and was finally hospitalized in emergency. Doctors induced Martin into a coma temporarily because his muscles were paralyzed by the action of the virus. Health costs were more expensive than the family could absorb in Australi…

Le Rotte Mediterranee di Imago Mundi e l’immagine contemporanea della Wunderkammer

2017

Attraverso l’analisi di Rotte Mediterranee, una delle molteplici mostre itineranti di “Imago Mundi”, la collezione in progress di arte contemporanea che Luciano Benetton commissiona e raccoglie nei suoi viaggi intorno al mondo, l’articolo dimostra come questo archivio di opere sia esso stesso un’opera, un’azione di mecenatismo contemporaneo. “Imago Mundi” è un continuo viaggio di ricerca, una mappa antropologico-visuale complessa, giocata tra la raccolta materiale delle collezioni e la loro registrazione virtuale nel catalogo digitale. Per la sua struttura espositiva enciclopedica, “Imago Mundi” rimanda al modello delle Wunderkammern: un caleidoscopio di immagini dove locale e globale coesi…
