Antropologia e performance
No teatro, nas artes performáticas, no cinema, na antropologia, na sociologia, na psicanálise, na linguísticas, nas pesquisas sobre folclores e nos estudos de gênero, o conceito de performance é formulado a partir de diferentes campos do saber e da expressão artística. Neste livro, três linhas mestras - drama, estética e ritual - que estruturam este conceito se trançam e transformam.
Silenciosa ou Silenciada?: Uma Análise Psicanalítica e Discursiva da Voz Feminina
Silenciosa ou silenciada? Uma análise psicanalítica e discursiva da voz feminina a partir de uma obra cinematográfi¬ca, relevante pela realidade que a permeia. Esta obra traz nuances do "silêncio" da voz feminina na contemporaneidade, por meio de uma análise social e clínica de Meryem, a protagonista da série 8 em Istambul (2020) exibida na Netflix. Ao conhecer Meryem, mulher sensível, ao mesmo tempo vigorosa, direciono minha atenção sobre o silenciamento da voz feminina, que pode se tornar sintomática e assumir diferentes modos de significações do silêncio e consubstancialmente diferentes modos de manifestações do silenciamento nos discursos femininos. Os pressupostos teór...
Gaza no coração
Gaza é, de alguma forma, o centro do mundo. E este livro se situa nesse campo, ao perseguir a realidade dos fatos e, ao mesmo tempo, oferecer subsídios para a desconstrução da interpretação hegemonicamente aceita que tem justificado o genocídio dos palestinos há 76 anos, ocasionando a pior de todas as crises: a crise de humanidade. Com o título inspirado no livro de poemas publicado pelo chileno Pablo Neruda em 1937 para tratar dos horrores da Guerra Civil Espanhola, Gaza no coração nasce de um sentimento de profunda angústia, mas também de um desejo poderoso de esperança e justiça. Por essa razão, a solidariedade é o fio condutor dos capítulos que formam a coletânea — e foi o tema gerador das reflexões desenvolvidas pelas autoras e autores. O resultado é um livro que trata de aspectos centrais da história do povo palestino, ao mesmo tempo que revela os fundamentos de sua histórica resistência. Um livro que é, para todas as pessoas envolvidas, uma obrigação moral, um compromisso ético e uma declaração de esperança. — Rafael Domingos Oliveira, na Introdução
A experiência da imagem na etnografia
Temas clássicos da antropologia, como espaço, memória, corpo, religiosidade, experiência e performance têm a partir da imagem uma perspectiva analítica inovadora, que permite que o pesquisador incorpore gestos, olhares, posturas e movimentos, e que o espectador amplie sua percepção de modo ao mesmo tempo racional e sensível. É disso que trata este livro, que é resultado de um longo investimento do Grupo de Antropologia Visual da USP em incorporar a imagem na pesquisa antropológica - sua apropriação nas pesquisas permite uma via mais fértil ao imaginário, às experiências sensoriais e a toda a pletora de sentidos que não se restringem a simplesmente olhar e descrever, mas a uma experiência sensorial sinestésica, que não deixa de lado gestos, olhares, posturas e movimentos. O livro reúne textos de 21 pesquisadores e o link para 9 vídeos.
Sexuality in Muslim Contexts
This groundbreaking book explores resistance against the harsh policing of sexuality in some Muslim societies. Many Muslim majority countries still use religious discourse to enforce stigmatization and repression of those, especially women, who do not conform to sexual norms promoted either by the state or by non-state actors. In this context, Islam is often stigmatized in Western discourse for being intrinsically restrictive with respect to women's rights and sexuality. The authors show that conservative Muslim discourse does not necessarily match practices of believers or of citizens and that women's empowerment is facilitated where indigenous and culturally appropriate strategies are developed. Using case studies from Pakistan, Iran, Indonesia, China, Bangladesh, Israel and India, they argue persuasively that Muslim religious traditions do not necessarily lead to conservative agendas but can promote emancipatory standpoints. An intervention to the construction of 'Muslim women' as uniformly subordinate, this collection spearheads an unprecedented wake of organizing around sexualities in Muslim communities.
The Anthropology of Experience
Fourteen authors, including many of the best-known scholars in the field, explore how people actually experience their culture and how those experiences are expressed in forms as varied as narrative, literary work, theater, carnival, ritual, reminiscence, and life review. Their studies will be of special interest for anyone working in anthropological theory, symbolic anthropology, and contemporary social and cultural anthropology, and useful as well for other social scientists, folklorists, literary theorists, and philosophers.
Naming the Mind
Intelligence, motivation, personality, learning, stimulation, behaviour and attitude are just some of the categories that map the terrain of `psychological reality'. These are the concepts which, among others, underpin theoretical and empirical work in modern psychology - and yet these concepts have only recently taken on their contemporary meanings. This fascinating work is a persuasive explanation of how modern psychology found its language. Kurt Danziger develops an account that goes beyond the taken-for-granted quality of psychological discourse to offer a profound and broad-ranging analysis of the recent evolution of the concepts and categories on which it depends. Danziger explores this process and shows how its conse
Contemporary Bioethics
This book discusses the common principles of morality and ethics derived from divinely endowed intuitive reason through the creation of al-fitr' a (nature) and human intellect (al-‘aql). Biomedical topics are presented and ethical issues related to topics such as genetic testing, assisted reproduction and organ transplantation are discussed. Whereas these natural sources are God’s special gifts to human beings, God’s revelation as given to the prophets is the supernatural source of divine guidance through which human communities have been guided at all times through history. The second part of the book concentrates on the objectives of Islamic religious practice – the maqa' sid – which include: Preservation of Faith, Preservation of Life, Preservation of Mind (intellect and reason), Preservation of Progeny (al-nasl) and Preservation of Property. Lastly, the third part of the book discusses selected topical issues, including abortion, assisted reproduction devices, genetics, organ transplantation, brain death and end-of-life aspects. For each topic, the current medical evidence is followed by a detailed discussion of the ethical issues involved.
Beginnings in Ritual Studies
Beginnings in Ritual Studies lays the groundwork for the interdisciplinary study of ritual by broadening the conception of it and articulating its connections to a wide range of cultural activities. Accessible to scholars and students, Beginnings addresses such fundamental issues as definitions, types, and theories of ritual. The volume integrates field research and theory in considering ritual's relation to religious, civil, medical, and theatrical dimensions of culture. The first and second editions garnered widespread praise from the scholarly community and became a standard work in the burgeoning field of ritual studies. In this third edition, Grimes adds a new preface and revises the descriptive and theoretical essays that form the core of the volume.
The Fear of Islam, Second Edition
The Fear of Islam investigates the context of Western views of Islam and offers an introduction to the historical roots and contemporary anxiety regarding Islam within the Western world. Tracing the medieval legacy of religious polemics and violence, Green orients readers to the complex history and issues of Western relations to Islam, from early and late modern colonial enterprises and theories of "Orientalism," to the production of religious discourses of otherness and the clash of civilizations that proliferated in the era of 9/11 and the war on terror. In this second edition, Green brings the reader up to date, examining the Islamophobic rhetoric of the 2016 US presidential election and ...
