With half of humanity already living in towns and cities and that proportion expected to increase in the coming decades, society - both Western and non-Western - is fast becoming urban and even mega-urban. As such, research in urban settings is evidently timely and of great importance. Anthropology in the City brings together a leading team of anthropologists to address the complex methodological and theoretical challenges posed by field-research in urban settings, clearly identifying the significance of the anthropological paradigm in urban research and its centrality both to mainstream acade

Die Stadt ist mehr als Architektur und Demographie, sie ist auch Idee und Vorstellung. Verschiedene Gruppen, Szenen und Subkulturen prägen diese Vorstellungen und werden auch von ihr geprägt. Stadtanthropologen tauchen in dieses Bedeutungsgewebe ein und erforschen das Leben, wie es in der Stadt 'wirklich' vor sich geht.Das Buch bietet eine Einführung in die urbane Feldforschung, die als Schlüsseldisziplin des 20. Jahrhunderts maßgeblich das Nachdenken über Stadt bestimmt hat: Es enthält Beiträge von führenden Vertretern ebenso wie vom vielversprechenden Nachwuchs. Comics der Künstlerin Nele Brönner kommentieren die Arbeitsweise des Feldforschens.Mit Texten von Peter Jackson, Les Back, Ruth Behar, Moritz Ege, Rolf Lindner, Mirko Zardini, Margarethe Kusenbach, Loïc Wacquant. The city is more than demography and architecture, it is a state of mind. Various groups, scenes and subcultures, widely known as "man in the street", shape and are shaped by urban space and its history according to imaginations, nightmares and dreams. Urban anthropologists get immersed in this closely knit fabric of urban culture and conduct field research with all their senses. The reader provides a compact introduction into urban anthropology, which has become the key discipline in exploring cities and city live as sites of encounter, conflict and sensation. It introduces the most influential writers in the field as well as young and upcoming field researchers. With essays by Peter Jackson, Les Back, Ruth Behar, Moritz Ege, Rolf Lindner, Mirko Zardini, Margarethe Kusenbach, Loic Wacquant.

Malaria remains one of the main causes of mortality and morbidity in sub-Saharan Africa. Matian van Soest looks at the malaria epidemic in the peri-urban zones of Uganda's capital Kampala against the backdrop of recent socio-ecological transformations. Based on long-term ethnographic research, the book provides a holistic picture of the malaria epidemic in central Uganda, revealing the highly localized character of an epidemic that once spanned across almost the entire globe. Understanding, and ultimately tackling the disease, requires an appreciation of the social, political, as well as ecological circumstances that frame this epidemic.
