The Social Life of the Mall
Paseo La Estación, a mall in Buenos Aires, is as much a place of transit as a place of encounter, where long-term residents and newcomers, people with and without jobs, homeowners and those without housing meet. In the process, social tensions emerge, especially when classist, migrantizing, and moralizing distinctions become relevant in conflict-laden negotiations of belonging. In an ethnography of the mall, Franziska Reiffen explores how people find opportunities for social, economic, and political participation in precarious conditions, and shows how people create socially meaningful places in a city characterized by diversity, inequality, and mobility.
Attention in Performance
This book elucidates how learning from actors enables an intense education of attention for anthropologists. Actors perform the perception of sunshine, the sensation of pain, affects such as shock and emotions such as happiness; they act quarrels, erotic attraction, leadership and submission on stage. In order to achieve that, they undergo an education of attention, allowing them to develop skills that are also useful for anthropologists, particularly when doing research on phenomena that often elude academic procedures. Drawing on her own acting experiences and ongoing research with actors from Africa and Europe, Cassis Kilian takes up Tim Ingold’s manifold proposals to reconfigure anthro...
Routledge Handbook of Migration and Development

Este libro reflexiona sobre las especificidades y multiplicidades de las experiencias del trabajo y de los trabajadores y trabajadoras en América Latina y el Caribe en clave histórica.

Los autores convocados emplean metodologías y estrategias narrati...
Migraciones africanas y afrodescendencias en Argentina
¿Cómo podemos dar cuenta de la presencia africana en Argentina cuando proviene de múltiples orígenes, se inserta en dinámicas históricas distintas, responde a formas heterogéneas de clasificación de la racialidad e interacciona social y políticamente a través de diversos agrupamientos? Este libro se presenta a modo de aporte al conocimiento tanto de la población afrodescendiente como de los inmigrantes africanos pasados y recientes. A través de una compilación de diversos trabajos de investigadores e investigadoras especialistas en distintas disciplinas con enfoque etnográfico, el libro indaga diversas cuestiones que no pretende unificar, sino poner en diálogo y perspectiva. E...
