Anthropologue et sociologue majeur, Fei Xiaotong (1910‑2005), formé en Chine puis en Grande-Bretagne avant la deuxième guerre mondiale, propose ici une analyse comparatiste de la société chinoise orchestrée autour de trois plans : ville et campagne, passé et présent, Occident et Chine. Au cœur de cette entreprise, la quête des « racines » s’ouvre à une caractérisation de la société chinoise fondée sur « l’ordre par distinction des statuts ». Cette description systématisée des structures, pensées et pratiques chinoises, qui avait pour objectif initial tant de les réhabiliter que d’en montrer les limites aux yeux d’un lectorat urbain et éduqué, a permis d’asseoir les bases d’une réflexion sur les voies d’entrées de la Chine dans la modernité. Ce texte a fait de Fei Xiaotong l’un des plus grands noms des sciences sociales chinoises. De nombreux passages restent d’une étonnante actualité malgré le temps écoulé depuis sa parution initiale en 1948. Cette première traduction en français met à disposition des lecteurs francophones de tous bords un texte clair, précis, synthétique et brillant, qui présente la singularité chinoise de l’intérieur. Sa profondeur et son acuité en font une lecture essentielle pour toute personne s’intéressant à la Chine d’autrefois comme à celle d’aujourd’hui.

"This book advances the practice and theory of design ethnography. It presents a methodologically adventurous and conceptually robust approach to interventional and ethical research design, practice, and engagement. The authors, specialising in design ethnography across the fields of anthropology, sociology, human geography, pedagogy, and design research, draw on their extensive international experience of collaborating with engineers, designers, creative practitioners, and specialists from other fields. They call for, and demonstrate the benefits of, ethnographic and conceptual attention to design as part of our personal and public everyday lives, society, institutions, and activism. Design Ethnography is essential reading for researchers, scholars and students seeking to reshape the way we research, live, and design ethically and responsibly into yet unknown futures"--

Artists and creative workers have long been attracted to urban environments. Yet the ?creative city? of the 21st century comes with its own pitfalls. From precarity at the level of the worker to gentrification at the level of the city: the creative engine starts to sputter. Therefore, after or even against the creative city, this book explores the rise of the ?common city?. What is the value of commoning for cultural practices in urban contexts? The volume defends the hypothesis that a common culture offers better guarantees of urban sustainability than a purely market- or government-driven culture. After all, cultural dynamics are only possible by sharing.00We understand culture in a broad anthropological sense, as a socially shared sign and meaning system through which urbanites can give meaning to their environment and their lives. Creative labour and artistic practices keep cultural dynamics alive by intervening in such processes of meaning. They can question, redraw or simply confirm meaning-making processes, habits, values and norms. That is why culture is too important to be left to the market and the government alone. Culture belongs to everyone.00'The Rise of the Common City' examines the value of commoning for culture, but also the value of culture for commoning. What is the culture of the commons? And vice versa, what strategies, norms and rituals do commoners use to define a common space between government and market? The book sketches answers to these questions through conceptual and empirical work, ranging from sociology and philosophy over urban and cultural studies to law and policy science.00The volume includes contributions by Walter van Andel, Iolanda Bianchi, Gideon Boie, Giuliana Ciancio, Lara García Díaz, Pascal Gielen, Arne Herman, Gökhan Kodalak, Thijs Lijster, Lara van Meeteren, Hanka Otte, Ching Lin Pang, Tian Shi, Stavros Stavrides, Maria Francesca De Tullio, Louis Volont and Bart Wissink.

This book brings together theoretical knowledge from diverse fields as anthropology, biology, neurology, peace studies, political science, psychology, and sociology to address key challenges that transcend borders. It demonstrates how differences are created on many levels to reveal how the "othering project" is evident through national policies of immigration, through aspiring nationalisms, through genocidal inhumanity, and the subsequent effects of such othering evident in racial trauma. It further argues that we cannot limit our understanding of racism to forms of "white nationalism" or "whiteness movements" in the developed world and regions but look to the global formulation of such discrimination in colonial histories. The book introduces each chapter by providing rich ethnographic narratives from informants based upon the author's research on nationalism, racism, genocide, terrorism, trauma, scientific tolerance, and love and peace as well as some auto-ethnographic narratives from the author's research on these themes. J.P. Linstroth is Adjunct Professor at Barry University, USA, and an Honorary Professor of Anthropology and Faculty Member at Catholic University of New Spain, USA. He is the author of Marching Against Gender Practice: Political Imaginings in the Basqueland (2015), co-recipient of an Alexander von Humboldt Grant, and former Fulbright Scholar to Brazil. He has a D.Phil. degree in Social and Cultural Anthropology from the University of Oxford.

This volume is the first to focus solely on how specific individuals and groups in Byzantium and its borderlands were defined and distinguished from other individuals and groups from the mid-fourth to the close of the fifteenth century. It gathers chapters from both established and emerging scholars from a wide range of disciplines across history, art, archaeology, and religion to provide an accurate representation of the state of the field both now and in its immediate future. The handbook is divided into four subtopics that examine concepts of group and specific individual identity which have been chosen to provide methodologically sophisticated and multidisciplinary perspectives on specific categories of group and individual identity. The topics are Imperial Identities; Romanitas in the late antique Mediterranean; Macro and Micro Identities: Religious, Regional, and Ethnic Identities, and Internal Others; Gendered Identities: Literature, Memory, and Self in Early & Middle Byzantium. While no single volume could ever provide a comprehensive vision of identities on the vast variety of peoples within Byzantium over nearly a millennium of its history, this handbook represents a milestone in offering a survey of the vibrant surge of scholarship examining the numerous and oft-times fluctuating codes of identity that shaped and transformed Byzantium and its neighbours during the empire's long life.
