Anthropologists have traditionally studied Europe's "others" and the marginalized and excluded within Europe's and North America's boundaries.

E-BooksThe Marginalized in Death A Forensic Anthropology of Intersectional Identity in the Modern Era



The Marginalized in Death A Forensic Anthropology of Intersectional Identity in the Modern Era
Free Download Jennifer F. Byrnes, "The Marginalized in Death: A Forensic Anthropology of Intersectional Identity in the Modern Era"
English | ISBN: 1666923095 | 2022 | 372 pages | EPUB/pdf | 8 MB
This volume bridges the gap between forensic and cultural anthropology in how both disciplines describe and theorize the dead, highlighting the potential for interdisciplinary scholarship. As applied disciplines dealing with some of the most marginalized people in our society, forensic anthropologists have the potential to shed light on important and persistent social issues that we face today. Forensic anthropologists have successfully pursued research agendas primarily focused on the development of individual biological profiles, time since death, recovery, and identification. Few, however, have taken a step back from their lab bench to consider how and why people become forensic cases or place their work in a larger theoretical context. Thus, this volume challenges forensic anthropologists to reflect how we can use our toolkit and databases to address larger social issues and quandaries that we face in a world where some are spared from becoming forensic anthropology cases and others are not. As witnesses to violence, crimes against humanity, and the embodied consequences of structural violence, we have the opportunity-and arguably, the responsibility-to transcend the traditional medico-legal confines of our small sub-discipline, by synthesizing forensic anthropology casework into theoretically grounded social science with potentially transformative impacts at a global scale.

E-BooksThe Anthropology of the Future



The Anthropology of the Future
Free Download The Anthropology of the Future By Rebecca Bryant, Daniel M. Knight
2019 | 239 Pages | ISBN: 1108434371 | PDF | 2 MB
Study of the future is an important new field in anthropology. Building on a philosophical tradition running from Aristotle through Heidegger to Schatzki, this book presents the concept of 'orientations' as a way to study everyday life. It analyses six main orientations - anticipation, expectation, speculation, potentiality, hope, and destiny - which represent different ways in which the future may affect our present. While orientations entail planning towards and imagining the future, they also often involve the collapse or exhaustion of those efforts: moments where hope may turn to apathy, frustrated planning to disillusion, and imagination to fatigue. By examining these orientations at different points, the authors argue for an anthropology that takes fuller account of the teleologies of action.

Innovations in Psychological Anthropology
Free Download Innovations in Psychological Anthropology
English | 2024 | ISBN: 1032318554 | 153 Pages | PDF (True) | 3 MB
This volume offers a bold and long-overdue intervention into the field of psychological anthropology. It asks how scholars might both constructively destabilize old frameworks borne from the field's complex past and seed innovative new engagements in order to chart ethical, responsible, and constructive ways forward. The contributions cover such topics as white supremacy and the production of knowledge, new perspectives on the "disabled" mind, the importance of ethnographic refusal, silence in narrative, and the racialization of therapeutic methods. This timely book seeks to reinvigorate the field and lay groundwork for a new bridge between the subdiscipline and the wider anthropological community. It is an ideal text for courses in anthropology, psychology, and the wider social sciences and humanities.

E-BooksThe Anthropology of Intensity Language, Culture, and Environment



The Anthropology of Intensity Language, Culture, and Environment
Free Download Paul Kockelman, "The Anthropology of Intensity: Language, Culture, and Environment "
English | ISBN: 1316519724 | 2022 | 290 pages | PDF | 4 MB
What counts as too close for comfort? How can an entire room suddenly feel restless at the imminence of a yet unknown occurrence? And who decides whether or not we are already in an age of unliveable extremes? The anthropology of intensity studies how humans encounter and communicate the continuous and gradable features of social and environmental phenomena in everyday interactions. Focusing on the last twenty years of life in a Mayan village in the cloud forests of Guatemala, this book provides a natural history of intensity in exceedingly tense times, through a careful analysis of ethnographic and linguistic evidence. It uses intensity as a way to reframe Anthropology in the age of the Anthropocene, and rethinks classic work in the formal linguistic tradition from a culture-specific and context-sensitive stance. It is essential reading not only for anthropologists and linguists, but also for ecologically oriented readers, critical theorists, and environmental scientists.
