Our Bodies, Our Crimes
Drawing on surveys and interviews with almost 300 female military personnel, Melissa Herbert explores how women's everyday actions, such as choice of uniform, hobby, or social activity, involve the creation and re-creation of what it means to be a woman, and particularly a woman soldier. Do women feel pressured to be "more masculine," to convey that they are not a threat to men's jobs or status and to avoid being perceived as lesbians? She also examines the role of gender and sexuality in the maintenance of the male-defined military institution, proposing that, more than sexual harassment or individual discrimination, it is the military's masculine ideology--which views military service as the domain of men and as a mechanism for the achievement of manhood--which serves to limit women's participation in the military has increased dramatically. In the wake of armed conflict involving female military personnel and several sexual misconduct scandals, much attention has focused on what life is like for women in the armed services. Few, however, have examined how these women negotiate an environment that has been structured and defined as masculine.

"Pense positivo", "olhe pelo lado positivo", "veja o copo meio cheio"... Mas, se toda essa positividade é a resposta, por que muitos de nós se sentem ansiosos, deprimidos e esgotados?

Chairman Mao's Children
In the 1960s and 1970s, around 17 million Chinese youths were mobilized or forced by the state to migrate to rural villages and China's frontiers. Bin Xu tells the story of how this 'sent-down' generation have come to terms with their difficult past. Exploring representations of memory including personal life stories, literature, museum exhibits, and acts of commemoration, he argues that these representations are defined by a struggle to reconcile worthiness with the political upheavals of the Mao years. These memories, however, are used by the state to construct an official narrative that weaves this generation's experiences into an upbeat story of the 'China dream'. This marginalizes those still suffering and obscures voices of self-reflection on their moral-political responsibility for their actions. Xu provides careful analysis of this generation of 'Chairman Mao's children', caught between the political and the personal, past and present, nostalgia and regret, and pride and trauma.
Procesos interculturales
Repensar la antropología política en el marco de la multiculturalidad y desde una perspectiva teórica que enfatiza la necesidad histórica de asumir el carácter plural de las sociedades estatales contemporáneas, es parte de las motivaciones centrales de esta obra. Los procesos interculturales a los que me refiero son básicamente aquellos en los que participan los pueblos natales y los Estados nacionales, configurando sistemas históricos de larga duración y caracterizados por una especial dinámica sistémica. Se trata también de un ejercicio de sistematización conceptual, que busca recoger algunos de los aportes que en las últimas décadas ha generado la vertiente pluralista de la antropología social.
