Full textAbstract:
Sociocultural factors have long been implicated in body image and eating disorders. Decades of data, drawn from multiple disciplines, consistently demonstrate the influence of culture on body image and eating disorders across several levels of analysis. This chapter engages the rich empirical literature on this subject to retheorize the role and importance of these contextual factors in light of anthropological and related social theories relevant to contemporary circumstances. Specifically, this chapter first analyzes and operationalizes what we mean by “culture” in body image and eating disorder scholarship, describes trends in salient sociocultural factors, and highlights the varying impacts of globalization where societies are increasingly interconnected. It also urges research that builds on current understandings by increasing collaborations among not only multiple disciplines within the social sciences but also biological and clinical sciences.

Full textAbstract:
This article focuses on three overlapping trends in the historical study of human responses to illness, labeled as “new history of medicine, history of public health, and sociocultural history of disease.” The topics range from colonial epidemiology and pharmacopoeia to twentieth-century public health institutions and urban hygiene. But a consistent focus on the social, cultural, and symbolic components of diseases and cures unifies this historiography and distinguishes it from the narrower scope of the long-established field of the history of medicine.

van, José. Platform Mechanisms. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190889760.003.0003.
Full textAbstract:
The second chapter discusses how platforms introduce new mechanisms to social interaction through the mutual articulation of platform technologies, economic models, and user practices. The mechanism of “datafication” refers to the ability of networked platforms to render into data many aspects of the world that have never been quantified before. Datafication revolves around the capturing and circulation of data. “Commodification” concerns the transformation of online and offline objects, activities, emotions, and ideas into tradable commodities. It involves the development of multisided markets and new business models. Finally, the mechanism of “selection” is about the curation of most relevant topics, terms, actors, objects, offers, services, etc. It takes shape through personalization, trends and reputations, and moderation practices. Understanding the platform society requires a thorough analysis of the ecosystem’s mechanisms and the constantly evolving techno-commercial and sociocultural practices through which they take shape.

Full textAbstract:
This introductory chapter provides an overview of the book's main themes. This book brings together work that focuses on understudied and contemporarily resonant topics—scholarship that illuminates trends in the study of African American diplomacy, attempts to (re)open lines of theoretical inquiry, demonstrates creative use of archival materials, and motivates questions for further research. Topics range from consideration of early diplomatic appointees to assessments of those leaders who have served as policy makers, performers, and cultural ambassadors from the nineteenth century to the present. The chapters are informed by scholarship on African Americans as formal diplomatic appointees, studies of citizen diplomacy, and research that seeks to bring a global context to domestic affairs. The volume synthesizes the extant literature and, in so doing, bridges the scholarly gap between institutional and extra-institutional (i.e., sociocultural) forms of African American diplomacy throughout American history and suggests new directions in historiography.

Full textAbstract:
Latin America has a long urban tradition. Since the middle of the nineteenth century, it has been more urbanized than any other region on the globe except North America, northwestern Europe, and Australia/New Zealand. This has produced large urban working classes, large labor movements, and an equally large—and by now traditional—labor historiography, particularly in Latin America itself. This article discusses trends that have shifted the focus from organized labor to workers themselves and their sociocultural world inside and outside the factory. It covers working-class formation during the second half of the nineteenth century, the influence of anarchism and socialism on labor and urban life from the 1880s to the Great Depression, the relationship of organized labor and populist regimes from the latter event to the 1960s, and the emergence since then of what has been called “new unionism,” a more politically independent and grass-roots form of labor mobilization.

Full textAbstract:
There are three forms of modern Darwinian evolutionism in the social sciences and humanities: the gene-based biological, the social learning-based sociocultural, and gene–culture coevolution dealing with their interaction. This chapter focuses on cultural or sociocultural evolution. It begins with a discussion of the Darwinian-inspired evolutionary approach to history. It then outlines modern evolutionary phylogenetic methods borrowed from biology but now used extensively in the social sciences and humanities. The chapter provides examples of how language trees may be inferred; phylogenetic comparative methods that use language trees to answer questions about aspects of geographical, social, political, cultural, or economic organization; and phylogenetic investigations of material culture and traditions. It is concluded that culture does indeed “descend with modification.”

Full textAbstract:
The chapter provides an overview of recent developments in the theology and ethics of marriage. It places the debates first in a sociocultural context of deinstitutionalization and individualization which has rendered marriage more optional and more fragile, but not weakened its symbolic meaning. It is then shown how the Christian churches have responded to the challenges of late modern society, in particular the Roman Catholic Church with its new emphasis on conjugal love at the Second Vatican Council. Three main strands have marked the theological and ethical discourse subsequently: a revisionist position which defends the subjective and interpersonal aspects of marriage, a traditionalist position which insists on a divine plan for marriage and a corresponding theology of the body, and the approach of a new generation of scholars who accuse the traditionalists of an abstract and idealistic description of the spousal relationship and criticize the revisionists for their narrow focus on private interiority. In a third and final section three major trends are explored and perspectives developed: first, possible arguments for commending marriage over alternative forms of living together are assessed; second, it is argued how heterosexual marriage can still be proclaimed as the ethical norm without discriminating against deviant forms of sexual expression; third, the tension between interpersonal and institutional approaches to marriage is explored and the search for a balance between both poles suggested as a future challenge for the theology of marriage.

Churchill, Robert Paul. Women in the Crossfire. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190468569.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Every year, thousands of girls and women die, often at the hands of blood relatives. These victims are accused of committing honor violations that bring shame upon their family—such transgressions range from walking with a boy in their neighborhood to seeking to marry a man of their own choosing to being a victim of rape. Women in the Crossfire presents a thorough examination of honor killing, an age-old social practice through which women are trapped and subjected to terror and deadly violence as consequences of the evolution of dysfunctional patriarchal structures and competition among men for domination. To understand the practice of honor killing, its root causes, and possibilities for protection and prevention, this book considers the issues from a variety of perspectives (epistemic, anthropological, sociological, cultural, ethical, historical, psychological, etc.) and makes use of original research—an analysis of a database of honor killing cases, published here for the first time. Specifically, the book addresses the salient traits and trends present in honor killing incidents and examines how honor is understood in sociocultural contexts where these killings occur. It illuminates socialization factors within honor-shame cultures that include gender construction, child-rearing practices, and adverse experiences that prime boys and men to take roles as one-day killers of sisters, daughters, and wives in the name of honor. In addition to this microcausal pathway, the book relies on theories of cultural evolution to explain how honor killing was an adaptation to specific ecological challenges and co-evolved with other patriarchic institutions.

Jin, Dal Yong. Critical Discourse of K-pop within Globalization. University of Illinois Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.5406/illinois/9780252039973.003.0006.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines the transformation of K-pop in the early twenty-first century in a broader sociocultural context. It maps out whether hybridity has generated new creative cultures, ones that are free from Western dominance, or whether this trend eventually oppresses local music. The aim is therefore to investigate the different cultural stages and transition of popular music in Korea occurring within the unfolding logic of globalization and to interrogate the adequacy of cultural hybridity as a plausible framework to explain cultural phenomena currently under way. In particular, it analyzes the development of English mixed into the lyrics of Korean popular music in order to identify and examine several key factors involved in the rapid growth of K-pop and its influence in the New Korean Wave. From the perspective gained from the combined angles of critical cultural studies and textual analysis, new insights are generated into the emerging discourse of cultural hybridization in Korean popular music.

Full textAbstract:
This book investigates a growing religious movement fusing beliefs and rituals deriving from Charismatic Evangelicalism and Judaism. Unlike analogous phenomena found in the West, such as Messianic Judaism (where Jewish-born people identify as believers in Jesus) or Christian Zionism (Evangelicals who emphasize the role of the Jews living in Israel by embracing Zionist activism), it addresses a different dimension of this trend emerging from the Global South. Based on an ethnography conducted during 2013–2015 within a religious community in Brazil, this book explains why former Charismatic Evangelicals (with no Jewish background) are adopting Jewish tenets and lifestyles. Focusing particularly on women’s conversion narratives, it investigates the reasons why Brazilian Charismatic Evangelicals are embracing rules derived from Orthodox Judaism, such as strict dress codes, eating kosher food, and observing menstrual taboos, while believing in Jesus as the Messiah. The analysis indicates that Judaizing Evangelical communities should be understood as a revival seeking to restore Christianity. The incorporation of Jewish elements aims to rebuild the authenticity of Christianity while distinguishing them from Charismatic Evangelicalism and its perceived scriptural inaccuracy, moral permissiveness, and materialism. This revival also involves recovering a collective past. References to a hidden Jewish heritage and a “return” to Judaism are mobilized for justifying strict adherence to Jewish practices. Drawing upon a sociocultural analysis, this study examines the historical, theological, religious, and subjective reasons behind this emerging Judaizing trend in Charismatic Evangelicalism. This book also engages with the literature of religious conversion, cultural change, and debates examining religious hybridization processes.

«‘Vida Ocupa’. Identidad y discurso de los ocupas de la ciudad autónoma de Buenos Aires», es un trabajo que indaga sobre los rasgos identitarios de quienes en la actualidad deben ocupar un inmueble de forma ilegal en la ciudad autónoma de Buenos Aires. A su vez, rescata las concepciones que el Estado tiene respecto a estos actores sociales, y las existentes dentro de los Medios de Comunicación, precisamente en la ficción «Okupas» del director Bruno Stagnaro y dentro de un informe sobre «casas tomadas» emitido por el programa periodístico «La Liga» en el año 2007. Los elementos teórico conceptuales desarrollados giran en torno a tres conceptos claves: DISCURSO, IDENTIDAD Y CULTURA. La identidad como emergente de la cultura, y el discurso como el espacio en el que se producen las significaciones sociales. De esta forma, a través de una mirada comunicacional y desde una perspectiva sociocultural, este libro da cuenta las experiencias de vida de los ocupas, desnaturalizando aquellos discursos hegemónicos que predominan en el imaginario social, reconociendo las representaciones que allí aparecen de la cultura popular y definiendo qué elementos de esa totalidad pertenecen a los rasgos constitutivos en las prácticas reales.
