Images of the Body in India
This intriguing book engages with the concept of the body in its cultural context by acknowledging and demonstrating that the human body is understood differently in Western and Indian cultures. The contributors go on to show that any attempt to put forward a single concept of the body withinIndian culture would be misleading. Divided into three parts, the book examines the considerable and often conflicting variations in body images and body concepts. In Part One the contributors focus on the representation of the body in religious and philosophical texts; representations that emerged from reading, translating and interpreting classical writings from diverse historical and anthropological approaches. Through predominantly ethnographic studies, Part Two explores the role of the body in narratives and ritual performance, from dance to ritualistic ceremonies. Visualisation processes of the body are examined in Part Three, focusing on developments in modern and contemporary periods: from visual practices at the Mughal court, to the multiple bodies of the bride, and the influence of new media. This volume is a fascinating collection of articles for those in the fields of sociology and anthropology, history, religion, cultural studies and South Asian studies.
Hazardous Future
Since culture, the media and the arts deal with the perception and the processing of catastrophe, what kind of social knowledge does this process produce and how does it contribute to the sustainable development of societies?The book seeks to understand how societies and cultures deal with disaster and the rhetorical means they resort to in order to represent it. It is situated on the cusp between the response to natural catastrophe, the renewed awareness of human vulnerability in the face of environmental hazard and irresponsible policies and the social role of traditional knowledge and humanistic ideas for the preservation of human communities. It aims to be diverse, in disciplinary allegiance and cultural situation, and relevant, by bringing together articles by well-known scholars and policy makers to jointly discuss the possibilities of reframing hazard for the future, so that one may learn from restored behavior instead of repeating the mistakes of the past.
علم الأناسة : التاريخ والثقافة والفلسفة
يركز هذا الكتاب على دراسة لأناسه الحديثة (الأنثروبولوجيا) من عدة جوانب، بالإضافة إلى تحليل تكوينيات الإنسان الطبيعية والثقافية وتأويلاتها الفلسفية يعالج الكتاب إشكالية خلقية حول شروط التعارف بين البشر، مبينا كيف تخلص الفكر الغربي الحديث بالتدريج من المركزية الذاتية والشروع في التواصل مع الحضارات الأخرى من أجل حماية العالم من الأخطار الناتجة عن العولمة والصراع من أجل الموارد التي تناقصت بسبب التبذير وتزايد السكان. كما يعالج إشكالية معرفية حول شروط التعاون بين الاختصاصات وكيف تمكن الفكر المعاصر بالتدريج وبفضل مناهج التحليل والفهم من تجاوز العلوية والضعانية والانتقال إلى تعدد الاختصاصات.
أنثربولوجيا التعليم
يشكل كتاب علم الانثروبولوجيا التربوي اليوم مجالا مهما في التعليم، إذا يتسم بالتنوع والتعددية، حيث لا يمكن لأية نظرية تربوية الادعاء بأنها تستطيع وبشكل منفرد إنتاج المعرفة الأساسية اللازمة للتعليم وينطبق ذلك أيضا على علم الانثروبولوجيا الذي لم يعد هنالك وجود لما يسمى بالأنثروبولوجيا المعيارية التي تعتمد على الحقيقة الشاملة للأيدولوجيات، بل على العكس، فالمعرفة الانثروبولوجية بشكل عام هي بالضرورة معرفة متعددة ومتغايرة ولذلك فان علم الانثروبولوجيا التربوي مقيد بأن يكون نسبيا جزئيا وانتقاليا محددا.
Repetition, recurrence, returns : how cultural renewal works
