    Abstract: Since the end of the Pinochet regime, Chilean public policy has sought to rebuild democratic governance in the country. This book examines the links between the state and civil society in Chile and the ways social policies have sought to ensure the inclusion of the poor in society and democracy. Although Chile has gained political stability and grown economically, the ability of social policies to expand democratic governance and participation has proved limited, and in fact such policies have become subordinate to an elitist model of democracy and resulted in a restrictive form of citizen participation.

    Anthropology Now and Next : Essays in Honor of Ulf Hannerz (2014)

    Language: Undetermined
    Pages: 324 p.
    Edition: 1st edition
    Keywords: General Anthropology, Theory & Methodology in Anthropology
    Abstract: The scholarship of Ulf Hannerz is characterized by its extraordinary breadth and visionary nature. He has contributed to the understanding of urban life and transnational networks, and the role of media, paradoxes of identity and new forms of community, suggesting to see culture in terms of flows rather than as bounded entities. Contributions honor Hannerz' legacy by addressing theoretical, epistemological, ethical and methodological challenges facing anthropological inquiry on topics from cultural diversity policies in Europe to transnational networks in Yemen, and from pottery and literature to multinational corporations.

    Anthropology and Nostalgia (2014)
    New York, NY : [s.n.]
    Details
    ISBN: 9781782384540
    Language: Undetermined
    Pages: 244 p.
    Edition: 1st edition
    Keywords: General Anthropology, Theory & Methodology in Anthropology
    Abstract: Nostalgia is intimately connected to the history of the social sciences in general and anthropology in particular, though finely grained ethnographies of nostalgia and loss are still scarce. Today, anthropologists have realized that nostalgia constitutes a fascinating object of study for exploring contemporary issues of the formation of identity in politics and history. Contributors to this volume consider the fabric of nostalgia in the fields of heritage and tourism, exile and diasporas, postcolonialism and postsocialism, business and economic exchange, social, ecological and religious movements, and nation building. They contribute to a better understanding of how individuals and groups commemorate their pasts, and how nostalgia plays a role in the process of remembering.

    Bloom and Bust : Urban Landscapes in the East since German Reunification (2014)
    New York, NY : [s.n.]
    Details
    ISBN: 9781782384915
    Language: Undetermined
    Pages: 276 p.
    Edition: 1st edition
    Series Statement: Space and Place 13
    Keywords: Urban Studies
    Abstract: More than two decades of deconstruction, renovation, and reconstruction have left the urban environments in the former German Democratic Republic completely transformed. This volume considers the changing urban landscapes in the former East - and how the filling of previous absences and the absence of previous presence - creates the cultural landscape of modern unified Germany. This broadens our understanding of this transformation by examining often-neglected cities, spaces, or structures, and historical narration and preservation.
