The Social Life of Economic Inequalities in Contemporary Latin America
This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This edited volume examines how economic processes have worked upon social lives and social realities in Latin America during the past decades. Through tracing the effects of the neoliberal epoch into the era of the so-called pink tide, the book seeks to understand to what extent the turn to the left at the start of the millennium managed to challenge historically constituted configurations of inequality. A central argument in the book is that in spite of economic reforms and social advances on a range of arenas, the fundamental tenants of socio-economic inequalities have not been challenged substantially. As several countries are now experiencing a return to right-wing politics, this collection helps us better understand why inequalities are so entrenched in the Latin American continent, but also the complex and creative ways that it is continuously contested. The book directs itself to students, scholars and anyone interested in Latin America, economic anthropology, political anthropology, left-wing politics, poverty and socio-economic inequalities.
Return from the World
"In Return from the World, anthropologist Gregory Duff Morton traces the migrations of landless Brazilian peasants who choose to leave cities and the opportunities they offer to return to their home villages. Exploring this phenomenon in cities such as Belo Horizonte and the surrounding villages of Rio Branco and Maracujá, Morton seeks to understand what it means to deliberately turn one's back on the promise of economic growth. Leaving cities and giving up their positions in factories, construction sites, and as domestic workers, rural migrants travel hundreds of miles back to villages without running water or dependable power. There, they often take up farming, engaging in subsistence agriculture or laboring as hired hands in nearby plantations. Bringing their stories vividly to life, Morton dives into the dreams and disputes at play in finding freedom in the shared rejection of accumulation"--
Etnografias possíveis
"Que longo trajeto o da etnografia! De um conceito usado pelos antropólogos para se referir ao seu fazer, o que incluía o estranhamento, o trabalho de campo, mas também um diálogo teórico com autores da disciplina, até sua banalização atual, sendo sinônimo para todo o procedimento de pesquisa não quantitativa que envolva contato direto com pessoas – ou, até, como no caso, contato mediado por uma câmera de filmar". CARMEN RIAL (presidente da Associação Brasileira de Antropologia) Carmen Rial acerta em cheio ao dizer, no prefácio do livro, o quanto a etnografia, ao mesmo tempo em que ganhou novos campos, perdeu elementos que a caracterizavam em seu escopo inicial. A etnografia...
Das Regieren der Favela
Wie trotzen Rio de Janeiros selbstgebaute Favelas ihrer Verbannung aus der offiziellen Stadt? Wie begegnen sie der Gewaltherrschaft der Drogengangs, Milizen und Militärpolizei? Kann sich ihre Jugend mit Baile-Funk-Tänzen und Hip-Hop-Lyrics die urbane Bürgerschaft erkämpfen oder verwandelt gar die Pfingstbewegung die Favela in eine Stadt Gottes? Stephan Lanz geht diesen Fragen zu Rios sozialräumlichen Peripherien anhand des foucaultschen Begriffs des Regierens nach, der jenseits des Politischen auch kulturelle und religiöse Praktiken erfasst. Nicht zuletzt zeigt er damit einige blinde Flecken der westlichen Stadtforschung bezogen auf urbane Realitäten im Globalen Süden auf.
Consumos alimentares em cenários urbanos - múltiplos olhares
Esta coletânea nasce no interior do Laboratório de Comunicação, Cidade e Consumo (LACON), grupo de pesquisa vinculado ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Comunicação Social da Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ). Na condição de parceiro institucional, o LACON cumpre seu compromisso atendendo ao chamado da Rede Iberoamericana de Pesquisa Qualitativa em Alimentação e Sociedade (REDE NAUS) para investimentos na divulgação de estudos relativos a esse fértil tema: consumos alimentares em cenários urbanos. Além dos brasileiros, pesquisadores da Espanha, do México e da Argentina nos ajudam a melhor compreender a ideia de que os consumos alimentares definem e são definidos na subjetividade e nos valores que imprimem às mercadorias, sejam objetos ou humanos objetificados.
