Edible Identities: Food as Cultural Heritage
Food - its cultivation, preparation and communal consumption - has long been considered a form of cultural heritage. A dynamic, living product, food creates social bonds as it simultaneously marks off and maintains cultural difference. In bringing together anthropologists, historians and other scholars of food and heritage, this volume closely examines the ways in which the cultivation, preparation, and consumption of food is used to create identity claims of 'cultural heritage' on local, regional, national and international scales. Contributors explore a range of themes, including how food is used to mark insiders and outsiders within an ethnic group; how the same food's meanings change wit...
Sounds of Attraction
Popular music in former Yugoslavia appear to have had a much deeper impact on the development of the socialist state and its successors than is usually thought to be the case. The collection by the authors from the region presents feelings, stories and memories on popular music in Yugoslavia and its successor states.
Meje
Knjiga predstavlja temeljni uvod v antropologijo mej in sodobni primer slovenskega obmejnega območja. V prvih poglavjih so obravnavane glavne raziskovalne smeri, ki so vplivale na antropološke raziskave ob mejah, raziskave mej na izbranih mejnih območjih in sodobna vprašanja, ki oblikujejo antropološke raziskave v okviru interdisciplinarnega polja raziskav mej. Drugi del knjige obravnava različne, z mejami povezane vidike ob slovensko-madžarski meji na Goričkem. Etnografska poglavja posredujejo razumevanje, kako so se meje in mejni režimi spreminjali v zadnjih desetletjih, kako so te spremembe vplivale na obmejno območje in kako akterji ob meji z množico mejnih praks doživljajo in odgovarjajo na te spremembe.
Labour Mobility in the EU
V šestih prispevkih monografije so analizirani obstoječi in porajajoči se izzivi na področju delovne mobilnosti v Evropski uniji, pri čemer jih avtorji obravnavajo skozi prizmo mobilnih delavcev v različnih poklicih. Z večdisciplinarnim pristopom in uporabo različnih metodoloških prijemov so avtorji ustvarili ogrodje za analitične diskusije o učinkih mobilnosti v EU, učinkovitosti in pravičnosti prostega pretoka oseb znotraj EU ter večplastnosti posledic za posameznike, države članice in nacionalne politike. Prvi prispevek je teoretski uvod v tematiko, ki mobilnost izčrpno predstavi kot teoretski koncept, politično agendo in temeljno evropsko vrednoto. Kompleksni preplet mn...
Blue Horizons
As a result of opening of internal borders within the EU and rapid development of affordable navigation technology, there is a constantly increasing number of people in the Mediterranean who have adopted a lifestyle that revolves around living working and traveling on sailing boats. On the ground of ethnography among liveaboards in Greece the book discusses the following questions: How can we conceptualise these novel forms of movements that seem to sit uncomfortably in between the standard dichotomized division of work within migration studies and wider social sciences: internal/international migration, temporary/permanent, migration/tourism? How do we theoretically and methodologically sit...
Music from Both Sides
Matija Arko, po domače Hojer, rojen v Sodražici, se je v mladosti izselil v Ameriko in s seboj prinesel veselje do glasbe in harmonike. Glasba je postala pomemben del njegovega življenja in s svojo skupino Hoyer trio je postal zelo priljubljen med Slovenci v ZDA pa tudi med izseljenci drugih narodnosti. S prepletanjem slovenske ljudske glasbe in različnih oblik ameriške popularne glasbe tistega časa je postavil temelje t. i. polka glasbe, ki je zaradi privlačnosti prestopila etnične meje in pozneje dosegla vsesplošno popularnost. Veliko glasbe Matije Arka je dokumentirane in ohranjene na gramofonskih ploščah, ki nudijo vpogled v njegovo delo in zgodovino slovenske glasbe v ZDA. O Matiji Arku, v Ameriki bolj znanem kot Matt Hoyer, in o njegovem glasbenem ustvarjanju smo vedeli v Sloveniji zelo malo. S pričujočo knjigo, ki je angleški prevod slovenske knjige, želimo opozoriti nanj, na njegovo delovanje in na glasbo, ki je ohranjena na starih gramofonskih ploščah.
Rediscovering the Great War
The Great War was a turning point of the twentieth century, giving birth to a new, modern, and industrial approach to warfare that changed the world forever. The remembrance, awareness, and knowledge of the conflict and, most importantly, of those who participated and were affected by it, altered from country to country, and in some cases has been almost entirely forgotten. New research strategies have emerged to help broaden our understanding of the First World War. Multidisciplinary approaches have been applied to material culture and conflict landscapes, from archive sources analysis and aerial photography to remote sensing, GIS and field research. Working within the context of a material and archival understanding of war, this book combines papers from different study fields that present interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches towards researching the First World War and its legacies, with particular concentration on the central and eastern European theatres of war.
Mladi podjetniki
Knjiga je zbirka antropoloških raziskav in etnografskih opisov mladih kot subjektov sodobnega kapitalizma. Zanimanje mladih za podjetništvo in usmerjanje mladih v podjetništvo sta obravnavana kot družbena pojava s političnimi, ekonomskimi in moralnimi implikacijami. Avtorji preučujejo podjetništvo mladih na primeru Slovenije, vendar pri tem vključujejo širši pogled ter primere iz Španije, Brazilije in ZDA. Poglavja knjige prinašajo vpoglede v antropološke študije mladih, antropološke konceptualizacije podjetništva, diskurze o mladih podjetnikih v politikah Evropske unije, raznolikost podjetniških podvigov in podjetniškega izobraževanja v Sloveniji ter avtoetnografijo mlade antropologinje v svetu zagonskih podjetij.
