Sensory Environmental Relationships: Between Memories of the Past and Imaginings of the Future

Sinopsis del Libro

Sensory environmental relationships – understood as dynamic, embodied, and emplaced affective sensory perceptions in (and of) the environment – invite us to remember the past, infuse our experiences of the present, and entice us to imagine the future. Ethnographically specific, socially and culturally nuanced approaches to environmental relationships require considerable conceptual and practical flexibility and inventiveness. Reflecting this commitment, 'Sensory Environmental Relationships' aims to offer a new anthropological understanding of how, in our individual and collective lives, senses, places, and temporalities intersect. While anthropologists have been studying the sensory environmental relationships in connection to people’s pasts and presents, futures remain conspicuously absent. By bringing different timeframes into the foreground of the analysis, this volume contributes to filling in the gap in our understanding of the human experience. The volume’s ethnographically based contributions address the questions of how embodied and emplaced practices of sensing, while moving or staying in place in diverse environments, engender, inform, and affect the processes of remembering (and forgetting) the past, experiencing the present, and imagining the future. Drawing on the fields of environmental anthropology, sensory studies, studies of movement and mobility, memory studies, and other related (sub)disciplines, as well as diverse, epistemologically and methodologically experimental approaches, the volume explores the ways in which sensory environmental relationships “touch” upon our pasts, presents, and futures.

Sobre las ruinas de la clase media

Un ensayo imprescindible para entender la sociedad actual en su totalidad. Este ensayo, que forma parte de la obra No society (Taurus), muestra como la desaparición de la clase media está estrechamente relacionada con la globalización y el drástico crecimiento del populismo. Así pues, fenómenos como el Brexit o Trump no son fruto de la irracionalidad, sino una consecuencia directa del modelo económico y social que, desde la segunda mitad del siglo XX, ha estado acabando la clase media. Esta ha sido sustituida por el mundo de las periferias, que actualmente abarca a la gran mayoría de...

Políticas culturales y gestión cultural

La creación de materiales metodológicos y referentes profesionales tiene en sí la opción de hacer más eficiente nuestra práctica, a través de un reciclaje ordenado de la experiencia. La consolidación del campo profesional del gestor y promotor cultural viene reclamando la configuración de referentes conceptuales que se construyan a partir de una lógica propia y un proceso interactivo con las diferentes disciplinas relacionadas a su campo de acción.
