El fin del reino de lo propio

Autor: María Isabel Quiñones Arocho

Número de Páginas: 161

El proyecto antropológico se ha modificado a partir de una premisa básica: las personas y los lugares se han transformado debido a que las fronteras entre el "aquí" y el "allá" se hacen cada día más difusas. La antropología ya no puede apropiarse del viaje como recurso y metáfora en un mundo donde ahora se navega en los mares cibernéticos. La certeza del Otro habitando un tiempo y un espacio diferenciado se desvanece. Es necesario entonces hacer una recuperación de la diferencia, ya no como exterioridad sino como lo otro que nos habita. Tal vez sea la única manera de no exotizar al Otro --real o imaginado-- que hoy vive entre nosotros. Este ensayo explora la posibilidad de una recuperación de la diferencia como aquello que actúa desde adentro en un territorio definido como propio. Y donde además, el territorio es una ilusión que nos hace existir en un "no lugar". Espacio nuevo del trabajo antropológico.

Overcoming AIDS

Autor: Donald E. Morisky , W. James Jacob , Yusuf K. Nsubuga , Steven J. Hite

Número de Páginas: 334

As a result of the AIDS epidemic, many nations around the world have faced the demands of caring for a particularly vulnerable population of children, the orphans of parents who have died of AIDS or whose caregivers are terminally ill from the disease. Overcoming AIDS: Lessons Learned from Uganda offers an in-depth exploration of this global issue and provides a broad focus on evolving a constructive response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. This collaborative resource is the fourth in the Research in Global Child Advocacy book series, and it offers readers a glimpse into the experience of HIV/AIDS infected and affected people from the perspective of researchers, policy makers, and professionals who diligently work toward crafting a framework for action that is integrated across disciplines. Despite the enormity and intensity of the problem, chapter authors share a commitment to advocate for a better world in which social and economic disparities do not preclude children from experiencing a future that is bright with potential opportunities and hope.

Resilience and Contagion

Autor: Kristi Heather Kenyon

Número de Páginas: 298

HIV represents not only an unprecedented pandemic but also a site of civil society innovation. In the midst of devastation, activists in sub-Saharan Africa are progressing from traditional forms of health advocacy to strategies that engage human rights principles, techniques, and language. Employing a comparative case-study approach, Resilience and Contagion considers the efforts of nine local civil society organizations in Ghana, Uganda, South Africa, and Botswana. Kristi Heather Kenyon examines who adopts rights-based discourse and why, arguing that leadership, individual beliefs, and structure all play a critical role in framing advocacy. Beyond changing laws or policies, the most important impact of promoting the rights of people living with HIV, she attests, is that it enables individuals to interact with health services from a position of resilience, strength, and empowerment. This book delves into discourse at the juncture of human rights, social theory, and global health, prompting significant and relevant discussion on advocacy’s evolution in the region of the world hit hardest by the HIV pandemic. Drawing on 145 interviews, extensive participant observation, and...

Singing For Life

Autor: Gregory Barz

Número de Páginas: 270

Efforts within the past decade to address the HIV/AIDS pandemic in sub-Saharan Africa have dealt with HIV/AIDS principally as a medical concern—despite the fact that doctors continue to be confronted with the complex relationship of the disease to broader social issues. When medical and governmental institutions fail, artists step in. Contemporary performances in Uganda often focus on gender and health-related issues specific to women and youths, in which song texts warn against risky sexual environments or unprotected sexual behavior. Music, dance, and drama are principal tools of local initiatives that disseminate information, mobilize resources, and raise societal consciousness regarding issues related to HIV/AIDS. Through case studies, song texts, interviews, and testimonies, Singing for Life: HIV/AIDS and Music in Uganda examines the links between the decline in Uganda’s infection rate and grassroots efforts that make use of music, dance, and drama. Only when supported and encouraged by such performances drawing on localized musical traditions have medical initiatives taken root and flourished in local healthcare systems. Gregory Barz shows how music can be both a mode of ...

Africa's Management in the 1990s and Beyond

Autor: Mamadou Dia

Número de Páginas: 310

In 1992 the World Bank launched the Africa's Management in the 1990s research program, a comprehensive study of the issues of institutional capacity building in Sub-Saharan Africa and its effects on economic and social development. This report focuses on the program and on how to implement its main message: institutions must be both rooted in the local context and culture and open to outside challenges and influences. Chapters focus on the institutional aspects of capacity building, best practices in public administration, indigenous private sector development, and a framework for reconciliation between institutions.

The Analytic Hierarchy Process in Natural Resource and Environmental Decision Making

Autor: Daniel Schmoldt , Jyrki Kangas , Guillermo A. Mendoza , Mauno Pesonen

Número de Páginas: 308

Decision making in land management involves preferential selection among competing alternatives. Often, such choices are difficult owing to the complexity of the decision context. Because the analytic hierarchy process (AHP, developed by Thomas Saaty in the 1970s) has been successfully applied to many complex planning, resource allocation, and priority setting problems in business, energy, health, marketing, natural resources, and transportation, more applications of the AHP in natural resources and environmental sciences are appearing regularly. This realization has prompted the authors to collect some of the important works in this area and present them as a single volume for managers and scholars. Because land management contains a somewhat unique set of features not found in other AHP application areas, such as site-specific decisions, group participation and collaboration, and incomplete scientific knowledge, this text fills a void in the literature on management science and decision analysis for forest resources.

"In November 1782, Vicente Gonzales de Santianes, the governor of Nuevo Leon, received a sheaf of documents from a protracted legal dispute in the Indian town of San Miguel de Aguayo. At first glance, the case seems so utterly commonplace as to be beneath the notice of the region's chief magistrate. One of San Miguel's Tlaxcalan stoneworkers had been accused of an adulterous liaison with a townswoman"--Provided by publisher.

Pristine and Non-Pristine Earth

Autor: Curt Bergemeier

Número de Páginas: 223

At my age, I had no idea of writing anything, much less a book. But it came to me in many dreams, the same thing: "Get a big notebook, a pencil, dictionary, eraser, and sit down and start writing." Well, I did, and it kept coming to my thoughts that the good and evil that were living in the opposite condition of the nonpristine earth, and this is the truth. I still don't know why I wrote it. Maybe this is my destiny because I have two books I am now writing as well.

Children, Young People and Borders

Autor: Machteld Venken , Virpi Kaisto , Chiara Brambilla

Número de Páginas: 169

This edited volume increases knowledge about children and young people living in borderlands, passing through borders and (de)constructing borders, as well as highlights the potential of studying how children and young people imagine, act, cross, and inhabit symbolic and material borders. The study of borders and borderlands is growing extensively, but the experiences of children and young people in the turmoil of border changes and border crossings remain under-researched. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, this edited volume has a twofold objective: to increase knowledge about children and young people living in borderlands, passing through borders and (de)constructing borders; and to highlight the potential of studying how children and young people imagine, act, cross, and inhabit symbolic and material borders, with the aim of advancing the theoretical and empirical debate within border studies. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Borderlands Studies.
