Fields in Motion: Ethnography in the Worlds of Dance examines the deeper meanings and resonances of artistic dance in contemporary culture. The book comprises four sections: methods and methodologies, autoethnography, pedagogies and creative processes, and choreographies as cultural and spiritual representations. The contributors bring an insiders insight to their accounts of the nature and function of these artistic practices, giving voice to dancers, dance teachers, creators, programmers, spectators, students, and scholars. International and intergenerational, this collection of groundbreaking scholarly research points to a new direction for both dance studies and dance anthropology. Traditionally the exclusive domain of aesthetic philosophers, the art of dance is here reframed as cultural practice, and its significance is revealed through a chorus of voices from practitioners and insider ethnographers.

In The Edge of Extinction, Jules Pretty explores life and change in a dozen environments and cultures across the world, taking us on a series of remarkable journeys through deserts, coasts, mountains, steppes, snowscapes, marshes, and farms to show that there are many different ways to live in cooperation with nature. From these accounts of people living close to the land and close to the edge emerge a larger story about sustainability and the future of the planet. Pretty addresses not only current threats to natural and cultural diversity but also the unsustainability of modern lifestyles typical of industrialized countries. In a very real sense, Pretty discovers, what we manage to preserve...

Durante décadas, el profesor universitario ha sido valorado y considerado a tenor de sus logros como investigador, ocultando, y a veces olvidando, sus méritos docentes. Esta faceta, sin embargo, se nos revela como fundamental cuando pulsamos la opinión de los estudiantes. Una de las consecuencias de la entrada en el EEES es rescatar la relevancia de la docencia universitaria a todos los niveles: grado, máster y doctorado. La docencia es un acto de entrega, basado en la mutua confianza y el diálogo libre, veraz y reflexivo entre sus dos actores básicos: el docente y el aprendiz. Aquel docente que es capaz de obtener la mejor formación de cada uno de sus estudiantes, que fomenta un apre...
