Etnografías de la muerte y las culturas en América Latina
La muerte ha sido convencionalmente pensada como una realidad única, como quizás uno de los pocos universales que afecta y homogeneiza por igual a los sujetos de diferentes tradiciones y orígenes. Esta creencia consensuada, compartida de modo acrítico, forma parte de las ideas previas que guían los proyectos y programas referidos a la salud, a la enfermedad y a la muerte, diseñados y desarrollados desde instituciones y agencias. Este libro pretende brindar una selección de análisis antropológicos sobre la interacción entre la muerte y la cultura en un contexto convulso -el latinoaméricano- de difiícil comprensión desde la mirada eurocéntrica y occidental.Se ofrece un abanico plural de perspectivas y reflexiones sobre protagonistas, escenarios y problemas, donde la muerte tiene unas dimensiones singulares y una presencia obscena y compleja. Sus contribuciones están centradas en su mayoría en sociedades y pueblos indígenas, aunque también abordan la muerte en contextos mestizos, afromestizos, urbanos e inclusive en la frontera con Estados Unidos.
Unmasking Class, Gender, and Sexuality in Nicaraguan Festival
Masaya, a provincial capital of Nicaragua, cultivates an aggressively traditional identity that contrasts with Managua’s urban modernity. In 2001 the city was officially designated Capital of Nicaraguan Folklore, yet residents have engaged in a vibrant folk revival since at least the 1960s. This book documents the creative innovations of Masaya’s performing artists. The first extended study in English of Nicaraguan festival arts, Unmasking Class, Gender, and Sexuality in Nicaraguan Festival is an ethnographically and historically grounded inquiry into three festival enactments during the Somoza, Sandinista, and Neoliberal periods: the carnivalesque torovenado masquerades, the transvestit...
Sustainable Organic Agriculture for Developing Agribusiness Sector
Developing sustainable organic agriculture and resilient agribusiness sector is fundamental, keeping in mind the value of the opportunity presented by the growing demand for healthy and safe food globally, with the expectation for the global population to reach 9.8 billion by 2050, and 11 billion by 2100. Lately, the main threats in Europe, and worldwide, are the increasingly dynamic climate change and economic factors related to currency fluctuations. While the current environmental policy provides several mechanisms to support agribusinesses in mitigating organic food for daily increasing human population and stability of the currency, it does not contemplate the relative readiness of individuals and businesses to act correctly. Organic farming is the practice that relies more on using sustainable methods to cultivate crops and produce food animals, avoiding chemicals and dietary synthetic drug inputs that do not belong to the natural ecosystem. Organic agriculture can also contribute to meaningful socioeconomic, ecologically sustainable development, and significantly in the development of the agribusiness sector, especially in developing countries.
Shipwrecked Identities
In this historical ethnography, Baron Pineda traces the history of the port town of Bilwi, now known officially as Puerto Cabezas, on the Atlantic coast of Nicaragua to explore the development, transformation, and function of racial categories in this region. From the English colonial period, through the Sandinista conflict of the 1980s, to the aftermath of the Contra War, Pineda shows how powerful outsiders, as well as Nicaraguans, have made efforts to influence notions about African and Black identity among the Miskito Indians, Afro-Nicaraguan Creoles, and Mestizos in the region. In the process, he provides insight into the causes and meaning of social movements and political turmoil. Shipwrecked Identities also includes important critical analysis of the role of anthropologists and other North American scholars in the Contra-Sandinista conflict, as well as the ways these scholars have defined ethnic identities in Latin America.
APPROCHE DE LA CULTURE FEMININE DANS L AFRIQUE FRANCOPHONE
Après le livre Approche de la culture et littérature féminines francophones sur le continent américain aux XXe et XXIe siècles, notre groupe de recherche désirait se pencher sur ce qui se passe pour la femme, la culture et la littérature en Afrique. Nous avons donc fait appel à divers spécialistes qui ont donné leur point de vue sur la femme, le continent africain et la culture (qui inclut la littérature). Nous retrouvons des échantillons d’analyses qui font découvrir, comme dans le premier volume, la femme africaine, non blanche, donc noire ou basanée, dont la problématique ressemble à celle de l’Amérique. Ces deux livres donnent de la voix à ces femmes par l’interm...
