Descubriendo mundos: una introducción a la investigación antropológica
Esta obra ha sido concebida a manera de guía para orientar los primeros ejercicios de investigación en antropología, abordando aspectos como: a) la problematización y la planificación de la investigación (proyección); b) el desarrollo de la investigación (ejecución); y c) la presentación y discusión de los resultados (reporte o informe). Así mismo se estudian aspectos como los métodos y técnicas de la indagación antropológica (etnografía, investigación en colaboración, entrevistas, talleres), enfoques teóricos clásicos y contemporáneos, uso de bases de datos bibliográficas, normas de citación, entre otros. Después de seguir esta guía, que incluye ejemplos y ejercicios, el estudiante o lector interesado en introducirse en la investigación antropológica tendrá las herramientas y conocimientos básicos para plantear y resolver una problemática de investigación y presentar los resultados de dicho proceso a manera de informe o artículo académico
Postsostenibilidad. Notas antropológicas para imaginar otros futuros comunes
Los autores de esta obra se ubican desde la antropología de la modernidad enfocándose inicialmente en entender cómo los modernos y la antropología como parte de su cosmología, constituyen la naturaleza, en oposición a la cultura y a partir de ahí ofrecen una perspectiva que entiende el desarrollo sostenible como un artefacto tecnocientífico que ordena el mundo, generando procesos coloniales y gubernamentales..
A History of Archaeological Thought
Bruce Trigger's new book is the first ever to examine the history of archaeology from medieval times to the present in world-wide perspective. At once stimulating and even-handed, it places the development of archaeological thought and theory throughout within a broad social and intellectual framework. The successive but interacting trends apparent in archaeological thought are defined and the author seeks to determine the extent to which these trends were a reflection of the personal and collective interests of archaeologists as these relate - in the West at least - to the fluctuating fortunes of the middle classes. While subjective influences have been powerful, Professor Trigger argues that the gradual accumulation of archaeological data has exercised a growing constraint on interpretation. In turn, this has increased the objectivity of archaeological research and enhanced its value for understanding the entire span of human history and the human condition in general.
Reconceptualizing The Peasantry
The concept of ?peasant? has been constructed from residual images of pre-industrial European and colonial rural society. Spurred by Romantic sensibilities and modern nationalist imaginations, the images the word peasant brings to mind are anachronisms that do not reflect the ways in which rural people live today. In this path-breaking book, Michael Kearney shows how the concept has been outdistanced by contemporary history. He situates the peasantry within the current social context of the transnational and post?Cold War nation-state and clears the way for alternative theoretical views.Reconceptualizing the Peasantry looks at rural society in general and considers the problematic distinctio...

Ethnography Through Thick and Thin
In the 1980s, George Marcus spearheaded a major critique of cultural anthropology, expressed most clearly in the landmark book Writing Culture, which he coedited with James Clifford. Ethnography through Thick and Thin updates and advances that critique for the late 1990s. Marcus presents a series of penetrating and provocative essays on the changes that continue to sweep across anthropology. He examines, in particular, how the discipline's central practice of ethnography has been changed by "multi-sited" approaches to anthropology and how new research patterns are transforming anthropologists' careers. Marcus rejects the view, often expressed, that these changes are undermining anthropology....
Cultural Heritage Management and Indigenous People in the North of Colombia
Cultural Heritage Management and Indigenous People in the North of Colombia explores indigenous people's struggle for territorial autonomy in an aggressive political environment and the tensions between heritage tourism and Indigenous rights. South American cases where local communities, especially Indigenous groups, are opposed to infrastructure projects, are little known. This book lays out the results of more than a decade of research in which the resettlement of a pre-Columbian village has been documented. It highlights the difficulty of establishing the link between archaeological sites and objects, and Indigenous people due to legal restrictions. From a decolonial framework, the archaeology of Pueblito Chairama (Teykú) is explored, and the village stands as a model to understand the broader picture of the relationship between Indigenous people and political and economic forces in South America. The book will be of interest to researchers in Archaeology, Anthropology, Heritage and Indigenous Studies who wish to understand the particularities of South American repatriation cases and Indigenous archaeology in the region.
