Mining, Mobility, and Social Change in the Global South
This volume focuses on how, why, under what conditions, and with what effects people move across space in relation to mining, asking how a focus on spatial mobility can aid scholars and policymakers in understanding the complex relation between mining and social change. This collection centers the concept of mobility to address the diversity of mining-related population movements as well as the agency of people engaged in these movements. This volume opens by introducing both the historical context and conceptual tools for analyzing the mining-mobility nexus, followed by case study chapters focusing on three regions with significant histories of mineral extraction and where mining currently ...
La ciudad desde la antropología: miradas etnográficas
En su diversidad de enfoques teóricos, entradas metodológicas, escalas espaciales y ciudades elegidas, La ciudad desde la antropología: miradas etnográficas tiene como finalidad proporcionar una muestra de la riqueza de las nuevas miradas e investigaciones etnográficas que antropólogas y antropólogos están produciendo sobre la ciudad contemporánea. Ciertamente, organizados en secciones sobre prácticas, imaginarios e identidades urbanas, los trece estudios de caso que componen esta publicación exploran procesos en metrópolis como Lima, São Paulo, Atenas y Madrid, y en ciudades intermedias del interior del Perú, de la Provincia de Buenos Aires y en Arica. Este volumen, pionero en el país y que surge de la reflexión producida desde el Grupo de Investigación Antropología de la Ciudad de la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, constituye un privilegiado caleidoscopio a través del cual es posible avisorar la complejidad, la profundidad y la variedad de nuestras ciudades y sus habitantes con sus cotidianidades, imaginarios y deseos.

Experiencias mineras locales en el Perú
Este libro presenta el estudio de caso de una comunidad peruana que desafía y amplía la bibliografía existente sobre los impactos de la minería en las comunidades rurales. En este sentido, busca comprender las transformaciones del espacio que las poblaciones rurales experimentan y moldean como respuesta al desarrollo de la minería a gran escala en los Andes peruanos. Así, relata las experiencias y las respuestas de las familias cercanas al proyecto de explotación de cobre La Granja, desarrollado en Cajamarca, en los Andes norteños del Perú, desde que las actividades mineras comenzaron, hace unos 25 años. Más detalladamente, este libro analiza las experiencias locales relacionadas a la tierra y la vivienda (acceso), las actividades agrícolas y no agrícolas (producción) y la historia migratoria (movilidad), así como las imágenes del pasado, presente y futuro (representaciones) que los hombres y las mujeres que viven en las cercanías del proyecto La Granja han construido desde 1994.
Nervous Mary
Amidst the horrors of the Spanish Civil War, one girl struggles to keep her family alive. Trapped in enemy territory during the Spanish Civil War, an impetuous, painfully nervous girl from a Catholic military family is called upon to put aside her worst fears and take charge of her young brothers, mentally ill mother and tortured prisoner-of-war father. In the process she unwittingly demonstrates the true meaning of bravery and loyalty. Based on the childhood & adolescent years of the author's mother-in-law in Madrid.
In Solidarity with the Earth
Based on case studies, the book creates a multidisciplinary conversation on the gendered vulnerabilities resulting from extractive industries and toxic pollution, and also charts the resilience and courage of women as they resist polluting industries, fight for clean water and seek to protect the land. While ecumenical in scope, the book takes its departure from the concept of integral ecology introduced in Pope Francis' encyclical Laudato Si'. The first three sections of the book focus on the social and ecological challenges facing minoritized women and their communities that are related to mining, pollutants and biodiversity loss, and toxicity. The final section of the book focuses on the ...
Rammed Earth Conservation
Includes a free CD containing the full contents of the book. The rammed earth technique, in all its variants, is widespread all over the world. This enormously prevalent building technique harbours an important richness of varieties both in application and in materials used. Interventions on historical rammed earth buildings have also been carried out in all the geographical areas where these structures are found. This historical heritage has undergone diverse forms of reconstruction, conservation, repair, substitution and/or structural consolidation. The different criteria applied require different techniques, materials or forms of intervention. The results of the interventions have also been manifold, both in terms of the impact on the building and the technical and material durability. With a view to these issues, this book deals with rammed earth architecture and its restoration, and, in a more general sense, with the construction techniques and restoration of all earthen structures. Rammed Earth Conservation will be a valuable source of information for academics and professionals in the fields of Civil Engineering, Construction and Building Engineering and Architecture.
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
