Estetica antropologica
Estetica antropologica è una nozione introdotta negli anni Sessanta del Novecento da Rolando Toro Araneda, psicologo e antropologo cileno, noto per avere ideato il Sistema Biodanza. Con questa idea il suo obiettivo era riscattare la parte luminosa dell’essere umano celata da un incessante lavorio culturale volto a valorizzare invece l’ombra, le nostre miserie e piccoli egoismi. Mettere in luce la grandezza umana, le capacità affettive, etiche, creative e legate alla conservazione della vita insite nella specie, risulta una proposta destabilizzante perché contraria all’approccio schivo nei confronti di teorie generalizzanti che sembra aver contraddistinto almeno una parte della rifle...
Degni di umanità
Degni di umanità è un dialogo ricco e stratificato tra antropologi di diverse generazioni e provenienti da campi eterogenei attorno agli aspetti meravigliosi dell’umano, in un periodo storico percepito come minaccioso e contraddistinto da un susseguirsi di catastrofi economiche, sanitarie, sociali e relazionali. Nel volume, emerge una precisa immagine del gesto antropologico come un gesto denso di cura verso l’umanità. Un gesto caratterizzato dall’incompiutezza, sia individuale sia sociale, e che può realizzarsi con la pratica, l’allenamento, la vivencia dell’incontro con l’Altro, attraverso un’estetica antropologica: un impegno incondizionato per un’umanità ancorata all...
Survival as Victory
Survival as Victory is the first anthropological study of daily life in the Soviet forced labor camps as experienced by Ukrainian women prisoners. Oksana Kis pulls from the written and oral histories of over 150 survivors to bring to life the gendered strategies of survival, accommodation, and resistance to the dehumanizing effects of the Gulag.
The Naked Man
"The Naked Man is the fourth and final volume [of Mythologiques], written by the most influential and probably the most controversial anthropologist of our time. . . . Myths from North and South America are set side by side to show their transformations: in passing from person to person and place to place, a myth can change its content and yet retain its structural principles. . . . Apart from the complicated transformations discovered and the fascinating constructions placed on these, the stories themselves provide a feast."—Betty Abel, Contemporary Review "Lévi-Strauss uses the structural method he developed to analyze and 'decode' the mythology of native North Americans, focusing on the area west of the Rockies. . . . [The author] takes the opportunity to refute arguments against his method; his chapter 'Finale' is a defense of structural analysis as well as the closing statement of this four-volume opus which started with an 'Ouverture' in The Raw and the Cooked."—Library Journal "The culmination of one of the major intellectual feats of our time."—Paul Stuewe, Quill and Quire
What I Believe
After two volumes of autobiography, Hans Kung now writes a short personal statement of his Christian belief.
Web Data Mining
Liu has written a comprehensive text on Web mining, which consists of two parts. The first part covers the data mining and machine learning foundations, where all the essential concepts and algorithms of data mining and machine learning are presented. The second part covers the key topics of Web mining, where Web crawling, search, social network analysis, structured data extraction, information integration, opinion mining and sentiment analysis, Web usage mining, query log mining, computational advertising, and recommender systems are all treated both in breadth and in depth. His book thus brings all the related concepts and algorithms together to form an authoritative and coherent text. The book offers a rich blend of theory and practice. It is suitable for students, researchers and practitioners interested in Web mining and data mining both as a learning text and as a reference book. Professors can readily use it for classes on data mining, Web mining, and text mining. Additional teaching materials such as lecture slides, datasets, and implemented algorithms are available online.

Ethnographies of Neoliberalism
Since 2008, the global economic crisis has exposed and deepened the tensions between austerity and social security—not just as competing paradigms of recovery but also as fundamentally different visions of governmental and personal responsibility. In this sense, the core premise of neoliberalism—the dominant approach to government around the world since the 1980s—may by now have reached a certain political limit. Based on the premise that markets are more efficient than government, neoliberal reforms were pushed by powerful national and transnational organizations as conditions of investment, lending, and trade, often in the name of freedom. In the same spirit, governments increasingly...
