Sociologia ambiental
A obra Sociologia ambiental: possibilidades epistêmicas e realidades complexas, organizada por Léo Peixoto Rodrigues, Rafael Braz Da Silva e Camila Dellagnese Prates, aborda a questão ambiental a partir de aspectos tanto de natureza filosófica, epistemológica e metodológica quanto de natureza empírica. Estruturado em oito capítulos, o livro reúne estudos de pesquisadores brasileiros e estrangeiros que se dedicaram a pesquisas que enfocam as questões socioambientais, considerando os problemas sociais decorrentes da degradação do meio ambiente, a fim de ressignificar a sociologia ambiental por meio de novos olhares e novas abordagens.
Diversidade sociológica
Este livro apresenta ao leitor um conjunto de estudos sobre uma pluralidade de dinâmicas sociais, elaborados à luz de diferentes abordagens sociológicas. Os trabalhos evidenciam não somente a complexa rede de relações que constituem a realidade social contemporânea, mas mostram também as diferentes facetas – teórica, metodológica e epistemológica – da realização da pesquisa em sociologia.
Pesquisa em Desenvolvimento, Ambiente e Conflitos
Este livro reflete um esforço de investigação nos últimos 10 anos do grupo de pesquisa Tecnologia, Meio Ambiente e Sociedade – Temas (www.ufrgs.br/temas). Nele são empreendidas análises com abordagens no campo da Socioantropologia, com referenciais teóricos e empíricos variados. Perpassando todos os textos, são notórias as reflexões em torno das possibilidades de apreensão de questões que se situam na relação Sociedade – Natureza e que mobilizam o debate sobre a viabilidade de grandes projetos de desenvolvimento.
Transnational Law and Local Struggles
The global spread of transnational mining investment, which has been taking place since the 1990s, has led to often volatile conflicts with local communities. This book examines the regulation of these conflicts through national, transnational and local legal processes. In doing so, it examines how legal authority is being redistributed among public and private actors, as well as national and transnational actors, as a result of globalizing forces. The book presents a case study concerning the negotiation of land transfer and resettlement between a transnational mining enterprise and indigenous peasants in the Andes of Peru. The case study is used to explore the intensely local dynamics involved in negotiations between corporate and community representatives and the role played by legal ordering in these relations. In particular, the book examines the operation of a transnational legal regime managed by the World Bank to remedy the social and environmental impacts of projects which receive Bank assistance. The book explores the nature and character of the World Bank regime and the multiple consequences of this projection of transnational law into a local dispute.
Global Modernity and Social Contestation
"A new generation of truly global sociology, grappling with the contemporary world through the lenses of critique, contestation, and social movements. A significant contribution." - Göran Therborn, University of Cambridge "This is a truly global and politically challenging book, bringing together top level researchers and sharply tackling its themes. People from every corner of the planet and from all walks in the social sciences will surely profit from reading it." - Carolina Mera, University of Buenos Aires How can we link contemporary social processes – which have typically been theorized in terms of the concept of modernity – with contemporary social movements, conflicts, and mobili...
The Reader
The Reader encourages students to explore significant topics that impact their lives and have shaped the wider culture around them. Classic, timeless readings underscore the staying power of each topic (including identity; marriage and family; faith and religion; langua≥ education; work; wealth and property; popular culture; and war, terrorism, and protest) but are complicated by current issues, contemporary perspectives, and varied genres that offer new opportunities for critique and exploration. The Reader draws on research that connects reading and writing in order to help students practice literacy strategies that broaden and strengthen their reading, writing, and researching skills. Three rhetoric chapters explain how the problem-posing, problem-solving aspects of college-level inquiry require that students engage texts and the research that informs them using a process of thoughtful questioning-and that students bring this questioning methodology to their own processes of inventing, researching, drafting, and revising.
Sustainable Rural Development
This book brings together several systems-level approaches to the consideration of the interaction of livelihood choices, natural resource management and participatory action research on sustainable development. By focusing on these approaches to community change, the volume hopes to encourage readers to consider how they might adopt methods such as Sustainable Livelihoods Approach (SLA), Community Capitals Framework (CCF) and Participatory Action Research (PAR) in their own research, practice and teaching. Thus, this volume will engage readers in reflection about the importance of systems-level approaches that address poverty from the perspective of the poor, natural resource management that maintains the resource for future generations, and the engagement of local people in designing and implementing, and thus owning, strategies that address equity as well as economic security and the environment. This book was originally published as a special issue of Community Development.
Environment and Culture
Following upon the first two volumes in this series, which dealt with a broad spectrum of topics in the environment and behavior field, ranging from theoretical to applied, and including disciplinary, interdisciplinary, and professionally oriented approaches, we have chosen to devote sub sequent volumes to more specifically defined topics. Thus, Volume Three dealt with Children and the Environment, seen from the combined perspective of researchers in environmental and developmental psy chology. The present volume has a similarly topical coverage, dealing with the complex set of relationships between culture and the physical environment. It is broad and necessarily eclectic with respect to co...
Affective Dimensions of Fieldwork and Ethnography
This book illustrates the role of researchers’ affects and emotions in understanding and making sense of the phenomena they study during ethnographic fieldwork. Whatever methods ethnographers apply during field research, however close they get to their informants and no matter how involved or detached they feel, fieldwork pushes them to constantly negotiate and reflect their subjectivities and positionalities in relation to the persons, communities, spaces and phenomena they study. The book highlights the idea that ethnographic fieldwork is based on the attempt of communication, mutual understanding, and perspective-taking on behalf of and together with those studied. With regard to the in...
