Anthropologies of Education
Despite international congresses and international journals, anthropologies of education differ significantly around the world. Linguistic barriers constrain the flow of ideas, which results in a vast amount of research on educational anthropology that is not published in English or is difficult for international readers to find. This volume responds to the call to attend to educational research outside the United States and to break out of “metropolitan provincialism.” A guide to the anthropologies and ethnographies of learning and schooling published in German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Slavic languages, Japanese, and English as a second language, show how scholars in Latin America, Japan, and elsewhere adapt European, American, and other approaches to create new traditions. As the contributors show, educators draw on different foundational research and different theoretical discussions. Thus, this global survey raises new questions and casts a new light on what has become a too-familiar discipline in the United States.

Mobilising Place Management
Mobilising Place Management makes an important contribution to the mobilities field by arguing for the need to rethink place management. It takes a point of departure in the mobilities turn and relational place thinking while exploring the relationship between place and mobility. In a world of increasing mobility and global competition between nations, cities and urban regions, the managing of places seems more relevant than ever before. By examining various examples of place and mobilities that range from the airport, rural village, tourist site, port-city to the city region, this book argues that the management of places can be informed and enhanced by installing a greater awareness and understanding of mobility. This insight could potentially improve the ability of current place management to translate a relational and mobilities-orientated thinking into concrete actions, instructions, interventions, designs, plans, policies and management control systems. The book will be essential reading for researchers, practitioners and students in the field of place management and across urban studies, planning, design, geography, sociology, tourism, transport and history.
Imagining the Supernatural North
“Turning to face north, face the north, we enter our own unconscious. Always, in retrospect, the journey north has the quality of dream.” Margaret Atwood, “True North” In this interdisciplinary collection, sixteen scholars from twelve countries explore the notion of the North as a realm of the supernatural. This region has long been associated with sorcerous inhabitants, mythical tribes, metaphysical forces of good and evil, and a range of supernatural qualities. It was both the sacred abode of the gods and a feared source of menacing invaders and otherworldly beings. Whether from the perspective of traditional Jewish lore or of contemporary black metal music, few motifs in European cultural history show such longevity and broad appeal.

Metodefetichisme
Der findes mange forskellige slags forskere. Biologer, teologer og litterater for blot at nAevne et par stykker. De studerer vidt forskellige genstande og problemer. Men til deres undersogelser bruger de alle en form for metode til at afgrAense og definere den made, de udforer deres forskning pa: enten den kvantitative metode eller den kvalitative. De to metoder medforer to vidt forskellige tilgange til forskernes materiale.Siden 1980'erne har det typisk vAeret forskere inden for humaniora og de mellemlange uddannelser, der har benyttet sig af den kvalitative metode. Deres emne krAever ofte mere indlevelse, end den kvantitative metode kan tilbyde. I de seneste ar har den imidlertid ogsa vundet indpas i de tidligere hojborge for kvantitativ forskning som sundheds- og samfundsvidenskab. Men sporgsmalet er, om den kvalitative metode i den proces nu er begyndt at ligne den kvantitative, som den ellers opstod som et alternativ til?
