Abstract:

This thesis characterizes feminist anthropology's past, present and future. The early years of feminist anthropology were committed to explication of the relationship between gender and power. Currently feminists are engaging in new post-modern ideas. Post-modern concerns with epistemology and knowledge/truth production resound with feminist observations, but post-modern concepts of power, resistance and deconstruction present problems for feminists. For post-modern anthropologists, traditional ethnography has been replaced by experimental texts. Feminist anthropologists created the textual in

Abstract:

This paper reconsiders the relation between what is studied, here homelessness, and the way of study, here anthropology. We will arrive at the notion of moral regulation which is useful in thoughts of the complex implications of otherwise seemingly disparate phenomena: homelessness and anthropology. Along the way we touch on order and morality. It is suggested that the professionalization of anthropology might be an active detriment to cogent anthropological analysis.

Abstract:

EthnoQuest, an interactive multimedia CD-ROM simulating a visit to a fictional village named Amopan, was conceived as an adjunct to college-level classroom instruction in introductory anthropology courses. Since these classes typically involve large numbers of students, the logistics on conducting actual fieldwork pose serious problems for instructors and students alike. The conception of an engaging, interactive, accessible learning tool that incorporates appropriate pedagogical principles has found its ultimate expression in EthnoQuest.

This work focuses on the use of anthropological and museum theory, methods and practices in the development and construction of a museum.

Abstract:

<p> Organizational culture is in need of new paradigms. As an ontological category it is flawed because the lack of academic consensus on what culture is tends to render it inadequate as an explanatory framework. As a field of praxis managers and practitioners tend to oversimplify culture, reducing it to one or two variables such as idealized norms or values, or as personality-writ-large. This leads to failed organizational culture change efforts, usually at great cost and effort as organizations fail to adapt beyond surface effects. Against these notions a new paradigm for organizational cul

Abstract:

Of The Currently Forming is an ethnographic exploration of a relatively recent diagnosis in clinical biomedicine – 'traumatic brain injury' or TBI. TBI has become a central preoccupation for researchers, clinicians, trauma centers, and public health departments across North America and Europe. Its epidemiological character is of startling concern, as its prevalence among the population is extraordinarily high. TBI is one of the most common causes of death in adults, and the leading cause of death and disability amongst young persons. Furthermore, TBI has become the "signature injury" of the US

The sense of smell, though rarely considered important in America, clearly delineates cultural boundaries; this is both demonstrated and promoted through marketing and advertising of consumer products. Historical analyses is invoked to explain why Americans have different tolerances for body odor than their European predecessors. Cultural perceptions of smell are assessed according to Maiy Douglas's models; they are also related to American views of disease and social structure. Odor control manifests as both the American ideal of self-control and as individual expression, or release. The inhe

Abstract:

Mexico was formerly an important breeding ground for six marine turtle species. Over the last several decades, overexploitation of turtles for their meat, eggs, and hides, as well as habitat destruction, has led to alarming rates of decline in all species. The problem of sea turtle conservation is a promising area for questions of anthropology and sustainable human systems because decline of these species is related to unsustainable development and subsistence practices that have disenfranchised small coastal fishing cooperatives.

Other theoretical approaches are therefore drawn upon to act as a framework for the thesis, including network theory (Law and Latour), and environmental relationism (Ingold).

Abstract:

This thesis explores the encounter between the Afghan-American community and the U.S. military-industrial complex in the production of cultural knowledge for counterinsurgency (COIN) operations in Afghanistan.

I discuss how such narratives gained currency and shaped the perceptions of Afghanistan in the U.S. foreign and security policy comm

Abstract:

Il presente lavoro di ricerca riflette sul concetto di Responsabilità Culturale (RC), che coniuga i due termini di responsabilità e cultura. Responsabilità è il dovere etico di garantire tanto alle generazioni presenti quanto a quelle future la possibilità di soddisfare i propri bisogni, le proprie aspirazioni, e di vivere le vite che hanno ragione di apprezzare.

Abstract:

The following paper explores the ways in which we currently understand eating disorders, examining the current theory and literature as well as providing the stories of three women and one man with first-hand experience with eating disorders. Through the use of formal interviews, the paper focuses not only on the ways in which an eating disorder affects an individual’s life but also on the ways in which an individual’s life affects the manifestation of his or her eating disorder.
