Journalistic Practices and the Remaking of Indian Leadership Traditions
AvUrsula Rao
Häftad, Engelska, 2013
516 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
At the turn of the millennium, Indian journalism has undergone significant changes. The rapid commercialization of the press, together with an increase in literacy and political consciousness, has led to swift growth in the newspaper market but also changed the way news makers mediate politics. Positioned at a historical junction where India is clearly feeling the effects of market liberalization, this study demonstrates how journalists and informants interactively create new forms of political action and consciousness. The book explores English and Hindi newsmaking and investigates the creation of news relations during the production process and how they affect political images and leadership traditions. It moves beyond the news-room to outline the role of journalists in urban society, the social lives of news texts and the way citizens bring their ideas and desires to bear on the news discourse.This important volume contributes to an emerging debate about the impact of the media on Indian society. Furthermore, it convincingly demonstrates the inseparable link between media related practices and dynamic cultural repertoires.
Bodies As Evidence
Security, Knowledge, and Power
AvMark Maguire,Ursula Raom. fl.
Inbunden, Engelska, 2018
1 562 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
From biometrics to predictive policing, contemporary security relies on sophisticated scientific evidence-gathering and knowledge-making focused on the human body. Bringing together new anthropological perspectives on the complexities of security in the present moment, the contributors to Bodies as Evidence reveal how bodies have become critical sources of evidence that is organized and deployed to classify, recognize, and manage human life. Through global case studies that explore biometric identification, border control, forensics, predictive policing, and counterterrorism, the contributors show how security discourses and practices that target the body contribute to new configurations of knowledge and power. At the same time, margins of error, unreliable technologies, and a growing suspicion of scientific evidence in a “post-truth” era contribute to growing insecurity, especially among marginalized populations.Contributors. Carolina Alonso-Bejarano, Gregory Feldman, Francisco J. FerrÁndiz, Daniel M. Goldstein, Ieva Jusionyte, Amade M’charek, Mark Maguire, Joseph P. Masco, Ursula Rao, Antonius C. G. M.

Celebrating Transgression
Method and Politics in Anthropological Studies of Cultures A book in Honour of Klaus Peter Koepping
AvUrsula Rao,John Hutnyk
Inbunden, Engelska, 2005

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Transgression is the stock in trade of a certain kind of anthropological sensibility that transforms fieldwork from strict social science to something more engaging. It builds on Koepping’s idea that participation transforms perception and investigates how transgressive practices have triggered the re-theorization of conventional forms of thought and life. It focuses on social practices in various cultural fields including the method and politics of anthropology in order to show how transgressive experiences become relevant for the organisation and understanding of social relations. This book brings key authors in anthropology together to debate and transgress anthropological expectations. Through transgression as method, as discussed here, our understanding of the world is transformed, and anthropology as a discipline becomes dangerous and relevant again.

Spatial Entrepreneurs
Actors and Practices of Space-Making Under the Global Condition
AvSteffi Marung,Ursula Rao
Inbunden, Engelska, 2023
1 203 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
As essential components of globalization, the study of practices and processes of space formation promotes a nuanced understanding of globalization. How do people create spaces for social action under the global condition, especially since the nineteenth century, when global interconnectedness increased rapidly? We explore the problem through specific case studies. Anthropologists, historians, geographers, sociologists, global studies scholars, and cultural studies scholars examine the agency of, e.g., members and staff of African regional organizations, Indian migrant workers, female GDR activists, Soviet planning experts, or US novelists. By studying elites as well as middle-class and micro-entrepreneurs – i.e. more and less influential actors – we encourage reflection on the relationship between power and space and examine how spatial entrepreneurs attempt to influence the shaping of space and their spatial literacy. The analysis aims at a better understanding of the different globalization projects, their crisis-like clashes, and the resulting conflictual development of spatial orders.

Kulturelle Verwandlungen
Die Gestaltung Sozialer Welten in Der Performanz
AvUrsula Rao
Häftad, Tyska, 2006
576 kr
Tillfälligt slut
Das Buch thematisiert soziale Wandlungsprozesse in verschiedenen kulturellen Kontexten. Es geht um den Umgang mit neuen Medienprodukten, die Bearbeitung interkultureller Erfahrungen in einer sich globalisierenden Welt, die dynamische Umsetzung von Geschlechteridentitäten und politische Effekte von sich verändernden Ritualen. Die Fallbeispiele veranschaulichen, wie Akteure hervortretenden Ereignissen durch ihre Aneignung einen veränderten Charakter oder eine neue Bedeutung geben. Dabei wird auch die Frage nach körperlich vermittelten Erfahrungen gestellt, die die Subversion etablierter Sichtweisen befördern. Die theoretische Aufarbeitung des Materials leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Bestimmung des Verhältnisses von Struktur und Kontingenz im sozialen Prozess.
