Intro

What is Anthropology?

  • In a basic sense, Anthropology is the study of humanity itself, of what makes us human. It further focuses on a wide variety of aspects like human behavior, culture, society and biology, in the present but also across the whole of human history. In doing so, Anthropology also takes a lot of its inspiration from other social science disciplines.

Why Anthropology?

  • By studying the way humans interact with one-another in the cultural and societal spaces they are apart of, throughout history and in the present, the goal is to come up with explanations and understandings for why certain human behavior exists. At the same time the study is able to celebrate the diversity we all share as the human race, by showcasing humanity in all its beauty and pain over it’s entire history

What is cultural anthropology?

What is cultural anthropology?

Cultural anthropology dives deeper than tourist experiences. It's a branch of anthropology that delves into the social and cultural practices of human societies across the globe.

What are the main features of cultural anthropology?

  • Holistic Approach: Cultural anthropology takes a holistic approach, examining a culture's social organization, language, religion, economy, and material culture to understand the whole picture.
  • Ethnography: The primary research method involves ethnography, where anthropologists immerse themselves in a culture for extended periods, observing and participating in daily life.
  • Cultural Relativism: This field promotes cultural relativism, encouraging the understanding of cultures on their own terms, not through the lens of our own.
  • Focus on Meaning: Cultural anthropologists strive to understand the meaning behind cultural practices, beliefs, and customs.

What are important sub-areas in cultural anthropology?

  • Medical Anthropology: Explores the intersection of culture and health, examining beliefs about illness, healthcare practices, and the cultural impact of diseases.
  • Linguistic Anthropology: Studies the relationship between language, culture, and thought, exploring how language shapes our understanding of the world.
  • Political Anthropology: Examines how power is organized and contested within different cultures, including political systems, leadership structures, and social movements.
  • Economic Anthropology: Studies how cultures produce, distribute, and consume goods and services, analyzing different economic systems and their cultural contexts.
  • Urban Anthropology: Focuses on the study of culture in urban environments, examining social life, community dynamics, and the impact of urbanization.
  • Legal Anthropology: Explores the relationship between law and culture, examining how legal systems are shaped by cultural values and practices.

What are key concepts in cultural anthropology?

  • Culture: The shared system of beliefs, values, practices, and behaviors that shape a group of people's way of life.
  • Ethnocentrism: The tendency to view one's own culture as superior to others. Cultural anthropology works against this bias.
  • Social Structure: The way a society is organized, including social hierarchies, kinship systems, and gender roles.
  • Cultural Adaptation: How societies adapt their social and cultural practices to their environment and resources.
  • Cultural Change: The dynamic nature of cultures, constantly evolving due to internal and external factors.

Who are influential figures in cultural anthropology?

  • Franz Boas: A pioneer in cultural anthropology, Boas emphasized cultural relativism and the importance of studying cultures in their entirety.
  • Margaret Mead: Famous for her studies of gender roles in different cultures, she challenged traditional gender stereotypes.
  • Bronislaw Malinowski: A key figure in developing ethnography, he spent years living amongst islanders in the Pacific, documenting their culture through participant observation.
  • Claude Lévi-Strauss: French anthropologist whose work focused on symbolism and the way cultures create meaning through myths and rituals.
  • Clifford Geertz: Promoted the concept of "thick description," aiming to understand cultural practices from the perspective of the people who participate in them.

Why is cultural anthropology important?

  • Cross-Cultural Understanding: Cultural anthropology fosters an appreciation for the diversity of human cultures and promotes tolerance and understanding.
  • Challenging Biases: It helps us identify and challenge our own cultural biases and ethnocentrism.
  • Understanding Ourselves: By studying other cultures, we gain a deeper understanding

What is ethnology?

What is ethnology?

Ethnology, closely linked to cultural anthropology, focuses on the systematic study and comparison of human cultures across the globe. It aims to understand the similarities and differences in social structures, customs, beliefs, and languages. While cultural anthropology often emphasizes fieldwork, ethnology might rely more on existing data and historical records for comparison.

What are the main features of ethnology?

  • Comparative Approach: Ethnology is known for its comparative approach, analyzing cultural similarities and differences across various societies.
  • Focus on Classification: It often seeks to classify cultures into categories based on shared characteristics, such as social organization, kinship systems, or subsistence strategies.
  • Historical Context: Understanding how cultures have evolved and changed over time is a key aspect of ethnology.
  • Cultural Diffusion: Studying the spread of cultural traits and practices from one society to another is another important theme.

What are important sub-areas in ethnology?

  • Social Ethnology: Examines the social organization of different cultures, including kinship systems, social stratification, and political systems.
  • Religious Ethnology: Studies the diverse forms of religious beliefs and practices across cultures, exploring their impact on social life and worldview.
  • Economic Ethnology: Analyzes different economic systems and subsistence strategies employed by various societies.
  • Linguistic Ethnology: Explores the relationship between language and culture, examining how language shapes thought and social interaction.
  • Legal Ethnology: Studies the legal systems of different cultures, analyzing how they reflect cultural values and social norms.
  • Technological Ethnology: Examines the development and use of technology across cultures, exploring its impact on societies and material culture.

What are key concepts in ethnology?

  • Culture: The shared system of beliefs, values, practices, and behaviors that shape a group of people's way of life.
  • Social Structure: The way a society is organized, including social hierarchies, kinship systems, and gender roles.
  • Cultural Universals: These are elements found in all or most cultures, such as language, family structures, or religious beliefs.
  • Cultural Variation: The vast diversity of cultural practices and beliefs observed across human societies.
  • Acculturation: The process of cultural change that occurs when two or more cultures come into contact.

Who are influential figures in ethnology?

  • Edward Tylor: A British anthropologist considered the "father of anthropology." He emphasized the importance of studying cultures in a systematic and comparative way.
  • James Frazer: Scottish anthropologist known for his studies of myths, rituals, and magic across different cultures.
  • George Murdock: American anthropologist who developed a system for cross-cultural comparison based on a large database of ethnographic information.
  • Claude Lévi-Strauss: French anthropologist whose work on symbolism and the way cultures create meaning through myths and rituals is relevant to ethnology as well.

Why is ethnology important?

  • Comparative Understanding: Ethnology fosters a broader understanding of human cultures by analyzing similarities and differences across societies.
  • Cultural Change & History: Studying cultural change and historical interactions helps us understand how cultures evolve and adapt.
  • Appreciating Diversity: It promotes appreciation for the richness and diversity of human cultures and societies.
  • Social Issues: Ethnological insights can contribute to understanding social issues like ethnicity, migration, and globalization.

Resumen analitico del libro ULTRAS Y SKINHEADS, LA JUVENTUD VISIBLE de Teresa Adán Revilla

Imagenes, estilos y conflictos de las subculturas juveniles

(Ediciones Nobel)

La autora

Teresa Adán Revilla nació 1966 en Palencia. Ella es Licenciada en Filosofía por la Universidad de Salamanca. Estudiosa del fenómeno subcultural en España e Italia, ha publicado diversos artículos sobre él, siendo también el objeto de su propia tesis doctoral. Colaboraba además en diferentes proyectos de investigación relativos a la misma materia.

Introducción

En la introducción Revilla explica la motivación de su ensayo sobre Ultras y Skinheads: La Juventud Visible se trata de un fenómeno que llama la atención del público, autoridades y medios de comunicación españoles desde los años ochenta del siglo pasado. Con este estudio ella intentaba cubrir una vacío teórico existente en las ciencias sociales.

Este ensayo era en principio un trabajo académico sobre el grupo Ultras Sur, un análisis de la subcultura ultra centrado en el conocimiento de sus origines, peculiaridades, transformaciones y actividades. Al final terminó en un gran interés por lo que afecta aquellos grupos de jóvenes ultras y subculturas a sí mismo que se mueven en España. Estos tienen su origen en Gran Bretaña hacia mediados del siglo pasado (XX), y que se adopta en otros países europeos. La base común a la aparición de estas subculturas se encuentra en la vivencia, compartida por los jóvenes europeos, de las dificultades derivadas de su integración en el mundo de los adultos, motivadas por desajustes económicos, planes educativos, etc, en una combinación que suele condena a los jóvenes a una eterna adolescencia al final del siglo

Revilla introduzca el concepto de la juventud como un periodo de espera. Mientras se cumple este tiempo, que cada vez es más prolongado y donde no hay una sociedad a su medida, los jóvenes tratan de crearla. En consecuencia surgen sociedades alternativas (término derivada de la sociología inglesa), también en España a principios de los años 80, en coincidencia con la instalación de los jóvenes en los valores del desencanto y la decepción. La motivación de Revilla para investigar aquellas sociedades alternativas es la de la ignorancia de ellos por los sociólogos de la juventud.

En este libro Revilla habla de dos subculturas especialmente: los ultras y los skinheads, desde su nacimiento, puesto que tenían demasiados puntos en común. El libro se trata de una presentación previo de información de trasfondo histórico sobre sus existencias en

MUJERES EN MARRUECOS’: Una análisis desde el parentesco y el genero.

De Yolanda Aixelá

Eso es un resumen analitico del libro 'Mujeres en Marruecos: Un análisis desde el parentesco y el genero' (2000) de Yolanda Aixelá, En Mujeres en Marruecos la autora oferta una narración y interpretación de múltiples aspectos claves a la experiencia colectiva de las mujeres en los espacios urbanos de Marruecos. Además es un aproximación de las complejas realidades sociales, culturales, jurídicas, religiosas y sociales de la sociedad marroqui. El objetivo del estudio es el análisis del universo público y privado de las mujeres en relación al parentesco y la construcción del género como elemento explicativo para entender sus opciones, estrategias y elecciones. Es el objetivo de la investigación explicar cómo expresa esa construcción de género desde diferentes esferas: la esfera legislativa (derecho), la esfera laboral (trabajo), y la esfera política (movimientos). Le analizó el objeto del estudio desde las dos grandes disciplines de antropología y historia.

Los conclusiones de la investigación son basados en el trabajo de campo de Aixelá que consiste de un análisis de entrevistas con mujeres de Marruecos durante un periodo de nueve meses. Su organización para el análisis y la comparación se fundamentó en el estado civil de las mujeres.

A continuación del libro los conclusiones de la investigación están confirmado con ejemplos derivados de las entrevistas.

Primero parte del libro

En el ambito de su estudio, la autora dio una aproximación a los primeros trabajos sobre mujeres en el Magreb en el siglo XIX. A finales del siglo pasado se inicia con los primeros trabajos dedicados a las mujeres, correspondientes a los viajeros/exploradores y a la sociología jurídica francesa. Después se desarrollan estudios del parentesco sobre el norte de Africa y Occidente Próximo que aparecen desde medios de los años cincuenta. El capitulo termina con el aproximación de los estudios centrados en el género y en la vida cotidiana de las mujeres desde finales de los años sesenta hasta la actualidad en el mundo árabe en general. Los dos tipos de estudios más relevante para la investigación de Aixelá eran los del parentesco y el de mujeres.

La recuperación de los trabajos de viajeros es una tarea válida para esta investigación porque permite conocer la influencia que las mujeres tenían en las tribus y aproxima a cuáles eran sus tareas y comportamientos en la sociedad en los siglos XIX y XX. Así que traslada la actualidad la exóotica visión que se tenía de las mujeres y los recintos que las guardaban en el mundo musulman. Algunas viajeros
