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.

Resistencia y territorialidad: culturas indígenas y afroamericanas (eBook)

Desde la década de los 80 numerosas organizaciones y movimientos indígenas y afrodescendientes han articulado sus reclamaciones identitarias y políticas en torno al concepto de territorio. Este concepto, que ha sido reconocido por el Convenio de la OIT sobre pueblos indígenas y tribales (Convenio nº169 de 1989), sobrepasa las demandas sobre la tierra ya que el concepto territorio engloba no sólo el suelo sino el subsuelo, la masa forestal, los recursos hídricos y, a la vez, reconoce unos derechos colectivos -inalienables e indivisibles-, así como la autonomía étnica.

The Chicano Struggle

La elaboración del círculo productivo romano como imperio mediterráneo (348-218 AC)

The Roman conquest of much of the west Mediterranean led to major transformations and this study discusses some aspects of the economic and political impact of such changes. Based largely on archaeological material Perez examines, for example, the Greek-Italian wine trade, major production centres in the Mediterranean, how goods from centres such as Etruria, Lazio and Campania ended up in cities recently conquered by Rome, in particular the markets and commercial routes along which products moved.

La evolución de los cruceros marítimos en España

El concepto de crucero turístico ha variado notablemente con respecto al pasado. La creciente importancia de los cruceros se refleja en la producción bibliográfica, aunque en lo referente a la dimensión histórica, la producción científica sigue siendo del todo insuficiente. Este trabajo pretende hacer un análisis exhaustivo de la evolución de los cruceros en España. Su estructura es cronológica, y se compone de seis capítulos y unas breves conclusiones finales. El período objeto de estudio va desde mediados del siglo XIX, época en la que se realizaran las primeras iniciativas,...
