Foreign News gives us a fascinating, behind-the-scenes look into the practices of the global tribe we call foreign correspondents. Exploring how they work, Ulf Hannerz also compares the ways correspondents and anthropologists report from one part of the world to another.Hannerz draws on extensive interviews with correspondents in cities as diverse as Jerusalem, Tokyo, and Johannesburg. He shows not only how different story lines evolve in different correspondent beats, but also how the correspondents' home country and personal interests influence the stories they write. Reporting can go well beyond coverage of a specific event, using the news instead to reveal deeper insights into a country or a people to link them to long-term trends or structures of global significance. Ultimately, Hannerz argues that both anthropologists and foreign correspondents can learn from each other in their efforts to educate a public about events and peoples far beyond our homelands.The result of nearly a decade's worth of work, Foreign News is a provocative study that will appeal to both general readers and those concerned with globalization.

A rich, witty, and accessible introduction to the anthropology of contemporary cultures,Cultural Complexity emphasizes that culture is organized in terms of states, markets, and movements. Hannerz pays special attention to the interplay between the centralizing agencies of culture, such as schools and media, and the decentering diversity of subcultures, and considers the special role of cities as the centers of cultural growth. Hannerz discusses cultural process in small-scale societies, the concept of subcultures, and the economics and politics of culture. Finally, he presents the twentieth-century globalization of culture as a process of cultural diffusion, polycentralism, and local innovation, focusing on periods of intensive cultural productivity in Vienna, Calcutta, and San Francisco.

Within a relatively short time, urban anthropology has emerged as one of the most vital fields of anthropology. During its formative period, however, it has lacked intellectual coherence. Exploring the Cityis a bold first attempt to provide just such a coherent and unified theoretical understanding of urbanism. Hannerz draws upon the urban perspectives of other disciplines as well, such as history, sociology, and geography, to bring intellectual unity to the history and development of urban anthropology.

This work provides an account of culture in an age of globalization. Ulf Hannerz argues that, in an ever-more interconnected world, national understandings of culture have become insufficient. He explores the implications of boundary-crossings and long-distance cultural flows for established notions of "the local", "community", "nation" and "modernity" Hannerz not only engages with theoretical debates about culture and globalization but raises issues of how we think and live today. His account of the experience of global culture encompasses a shouting match in a New York street about Salman Rushdie, a papal visit to the Maya Indians; kung-fu dancers in Nigeria and Rastafarians in Amsterdam; the nostalgia of foreign correspondents; and the surprising experiences of tourists in a world city or on a Borneo photo safari.

In this masterly, state of the art work, Ulf Hannerz maps the contemporary social world of anthropologists and its relation to the wider world in which they carry out their work.Raising fundamental questions such as 'What is anthropology really about?', 'How does the public understand, or misunderstand, anthropology?' and 'What and where do anthropologists study now, and for whom do they write?', Hannerz invites anthropologists to think again about where their discipline is going.Full of insights and practical advice from Hannerz's long experience at the top of the discipline, this book is essential for all anthropologists who want their craft to survive and develop in a volatile world, and contribute to new understandings of its ever-changing diversity and interconnections.

What is a small country? Is a country small because of the size of its territory or its population? Can smallness be relative, based on the subjective perception of a country's inhabitants or in comparison with one's neighbors? How does smallness, however it is defined, shape a country and its relations with other countries? Answers to these questions, among others, can be found in Small Countries, the first and only anthropological study of smallness as a defining variable.In terms of population size, some two thirds of the countries of the world can now be considered small countries, and they can be found in all world regions except North America and East Asia. They exhibit great diversity with regard to culture, history, and institutional arrangements, so there can be no model of any "typical" small country. Yet the essays collected by Ulf Hannerz and Andre Gingrich identify a range of family resemblances in such areas as internal connectivity and sensibilities of identity. Contributors describe a number of similar problems with which small countries must cope, on domestic levels as well as in their transnational and global encounters. For some small countries, challenges such as media organization and branding have a negative impact on real or perceived vulnerability, while for others, the same challenges facilitate success stories.Comparative case studies cover a diverse set of regions, including the Caribbean, Middle East, Africa, and Europe, and employ diverse anthropological approaches. Tacit assumptions about scale, identities, and networks in everyday social life are best revealed through close, interpretive effort. At times a sense of shared belonging comes to the fore with particular events, such as a national crisis or an unexpected success in international sports, offering scope for situational analyses. In showing how small countries confront globalization, Small Countries reveals how the sense of scale intensifies when the world as a whole shrinks.Contributors: Regina F.

A number of these key concepts—‘the end of history,’ ‘the clash of civilizations,’ ‘the coming anarchy,’ ‘the world is flat,’ ‘soft power,’ ‘the post-American century’—suggest what could become characteristic of this new, interconnected world.

"Ska en kultur vara mer som en åsiktskorridor, eller får man finna sig i att den kan verka mer som en labyrint? Och hur påverkas vårt svar på frågan när världen blir mer sammanhängande, en 'global by', och gränserna mellan kulturer blir mindre tydliga och ofta överskrids?"
Den frågan ställer sig Ulf Hannerz inledningsvis i denna bok om mångfald, en upptäcktsresa i olika kulturer, om mångfald i olika bemärkelser, om somliga ords komplicerade och lätt missförstådda väg genom historien, i tiden och rummet. Här handlar det om mänsklig mångfald, om människor som alltid flyttat. Om frihet och trygghet. Om friheten att tänka annorlunda.
Två Kråkor tillhörde ursprungsbefolkningen i USA och han dyker upp redan i bokens inledning, som symbol och självtänkare.
Hannerz tar med läsaren på en intellektuell, kanske krävande men öppen och stimulerande resa i den globala byn. Detta har varit hans arbetsfält under ett helt forskarliv. Han hjälper oss att lyfta blicken, att inse att uttrycken är många oavsett var människan föds, lever och vandrar vidare.
Ulf Hannerz är professor i antropologi, bosatt i Stockholm, men med forskning på många universitet i USA och på andra ställen. Har utgivit böcker på både svenska och engelska.

Barbro Alving rapporterar från Berlinolympiaden och går vilse i franska hotell, dagspressjournalister upplever andra världskrigets bombningar i London, Stig Dagerman träffar en lidande författare i efterkrigstidens Ruhr. Men Europa räcker förstås inte till.
Tre världsdelar avverkas av en kringflackande Artur Lundkvist. Rolf Blomberg blir forskningsluffare i Sydamerika, Gunnar och Alva Myrdal pekar på vad Sverige kan lära av Amerika. Ester Blenda Nordström tar sig österut, med en expedition till bortersta Sibirien. Sten Bergman umgås med Nya Guineas kannibaler, en svensk missionär ser Maos trupper komma till en kinesisk småstad och Gerd Almgren följer Guldkustens väg till självständighet. Alla är de svenska skribenter – i alla upptänkliga väderstreck.
Ulf Hannerz, själv berest professor emeritus i socialantropologi, porträtterar ett tjugotal resenärer och deras rapportering till en hemmapublik om världens mångfald mellan 1900 och 1960. Det var en tid av krig, en tid då gamla kolonier blev nya uländer. I det svenska hörnet av världen växte ett folkhem fram, men ännu fanns ingen tv och inga billiga charterresor.
