Abstract

This book provides an up-to-date introduction to the important and growing field of urban anthropology. This is an increasingly critical area of study, as more than half of the world's population now lives in cities and anthropological research is increasingly done in an urban context. Exploring contemporary anthropological approaches to the urban, the authors consider: - How can we define urban anthropology? - What are the main themes of twenty-first-century urban anthropological research? - What are the possible future directions in the field? The chapters cover topics such as urban mobilities, place-making and public space, production and consumption, politics and governance. These are illustrated by lively case studies drawn from urban settings across the world. Accessible yet theoretically incisive, Introducing Urban Anthropology will be a valuable resource for anthropology students as well as of interest to those working in urban studies and related disciplines such as sociology and geography. The revised second edition includes updated theoretical discussions and new ethnographic case studies. It features a new chapter on neoliberalism and post-neoliberalism, and engages more extensively with digital transformations of urban life.

Abstract

"This book examines how women in Guinea articulate themselves politically within and outside institutional politics. It documents the everyday practices that local female actors adopt to deal with the continuous economic, political, and social insecurities that emerge in times of political transformations. Carole Ammann argues that women's political articulations in Muslim Guinea do not primarily take place within women's associations or institutional politics such as political parties; but instead women's silent forms of politics manifest in their daily agency, that is, when they make a living, study, marry, meet friends, raise their children, and do household chores. The book also analyses the relationship between the female population and the local authorities and discusses when and why women's claim making enjoys legitimacy in the eyes of other men and women, as well as representatives of 'traditional' authorities and the local government. Paying particular attention to intersectional perspectives, this book will be of interest to scholars of African studies, social anthropology, political anthropology, the anthropology of gender and urban anthropology, gender studies, and Islamic studies"-- Provided by publisher.

Abstract

Arua como lugar estratégico para a observação da vida urbana no que esta tem de mais peculiar é o tema central deste livro. A proposta é simples e exploratoria: procurar diferentes aproximações a esta realidade complexa a partir do olhar da antropologia, da história, da sociología e da arquitectura, em contextos geográficos e temporais distintos. A rua surge como problema a identificar e como lugar privilegiado para a troca e circulação de saberes disciplinares. Enquanto imagem e símbolo de um modo de vida urbano, lugar onde ocorrem as sociabilidades mais "típicas" da cidade, a rua condensa e viabiliza todo um imaginário feito de discursos, memórias e emoções, que atravessam e elaboram simbolicamente a cidade naquilo que ela tem de mais original. Espaço, tempo e sociabilidade são apenas tres tópicos que ajudam a ler as contribuições da presente colectânea, cujos autores partilham urna preocupação fundamental: apreender a rua à escala de quem a vive, de perto e em situação. Na Paris popular oitocentista, nos actuais campos de refugiados ou na Lisboa dos séculos xix e xx, vamos ao encontro dos lugares da rua.

Abstract

Olhar as cidades e a vida urbana numa perspectiva etnográfica constitui o desafio deste livro. Compreender as cidades de dentro, de baixo, a partir de urna relação próxima entre quem vê e quem é observado permite ir ao encontro do que de mais incerto e surpreendente as cidades nos têm para oferecer polícias, associações, culturas juvenis, práticas de lazer, territorios psicotrópicos, identidades étnicas, práticas habitacionais ... Etnografias Urbanas reúne um conjunto de comunicaóes, comentários e reflexões, de cariz interdisciplinar, realizadas no encontro Cidade e Diversidade: Perspectivas de Desenvolvimento em Antropologia Urbana que, em Setembro de 2001, reuniu cerca de vinte investigadores de várias "gerações" e pertengas disciplinares.

Abstract

Au moment où la ville se défait et disparaît dans de vastes conurbations sans borne, le regard anthropologique s'avère plus que jamais nécessaire pour retrouver, sans préjugé ni modèle a priori, les genèses et les processus qui recréent l'espace partagé de la ville. L'anthropologue Michel Agier défend et décrit une approche situationnelle et dynamique prolongeant les trois traditions d'enquête urbaine de l'école de Chicago, de l'école de Manchester et de l'anthropologie française du contemporain. L'ethnographie urbaine et réfl exive permet de repenser la ville à partir des citadins et des logiques sociales, politiques et culturelles qui la font naître et se transformer. La question du faire-ville est ainsi au centre d'une réfl exion qui se fonde sur des enquêtes menées dans les quartiers périphériques, les « favelas » et les campements en Afrique noire, au Brésil, en Colombie et plus récemment en Europe.
