    Abstract: "Questions of Method in Cultural Studies" collects a lively group of scholars from across the social sciences and humanities to consider one of the most vexing issues confronting the proverbial "anti-discipline" of cultural studies. Covering such topics as the media, feminism, and politics, these original essays identify what methods have prevailed in the interdisciplinary pursuit of cultural studies. They also analyze what kinds of methodological choices are made, privileged, or even attacked in the academy and among the disciplines. Examining the relationship between cultural studies and traditional disciplines, the politics of knowledge, and spatial and temporal models, this book probes the possibility of method in explicit terms for scholars and students in media, communications, sociology, and allied fields

    Parallel Title: Print version Delaney, David Territory
    DDC: 304.2/3
    RVK:
    Keywords: Human geography ; Human territoriality ; Territorialität ; Territorium ; Anthropogeografie
    Abstract: This short introduction conveys the complexities associated with the term "territory" in a clear and accessible manner, and provides an interdisciplinary survey of the many strands of research in the field. Specific areas addressed include: interpretations of territorial structures; the relationship between territoriality and scale; the validity and fluidity of territory; and the practical social processes associated with territorial re-configurations. David Delaney stresses that how we understand territory is inseparable from our understanding of power, including political power, economic power, and cultural power. In making sense of territory in this way, he presents an overview of how territory is understood across a range of perspectives. He also offers a close, critical reading of Robert Sack's classic work, "Human Territoriality: Its Theory and History". In an extended illustrative case study, the book explores how territoriality has unfolded in the context of Israel/Palestine
    Abstract: Cover -- Contents -- Illustrations -- Series Editors' Preface -- Acknowledgments -- 1 Entering the Territory of Territory -- Introduction -- The Social Life of Territory -- Practical Definitions and a Grammar of Territory -- What Is Territory For? -- Seeing Around and Through Territory -- Concluding Remarks -- 2 Disciplining and Undisciplining Territory -- Introduction -- Territory and its Disciplines -- Deterritorializing the Disciplines -- Concluding Remarks -- 3 Human Territoriality and its Boundaries -- Introduction -- Overview -- Beyond Human Territoriality -- 4 Parsing Palisraelestine -- Introduction -- The Unfolding of Sovereignties -- Reconfiguring Property -- The Israeli Territorial System of Control -- Concluding Remarks -- 5 Further Explorations -- Books -- Topical Works -- Journals -- The Internet -- Bibliography

    Series Statement: Blackwell companions to anthropology 5
    Parallel Title: Print version Companion to the anthropology of Japan
    RVK:
    Keywords: Ethnology ; Japan Social life and customs ; Japan ; Anthropologie
    Abstract: A Companion to the Anthropology of Japan is an unprecedented collection of original essays by some of the field's most distinguished scholars of Japan which, taken together, offer a comprehensive overview of the field. Aiming to retire stale and misleading stereotypes, the authors present new perspectives on Japanese culture and society - past and present - in accessible language. A Companion to the Anthropology of Japan covers a broad range of issues, controversies, and everyday practices, including the unacknowledged colonial roots of anthropology in the Japanese academy; legacies of nationalist research; eugenics and nation-building; majority and minority cultures; class and status; genders and sexualities; urban spectacle and rural "undevelopment"; domestic, corporate, and educational ideologies and practices; the mass media, leisure, and "infotainment" industries; women's and men's sports; fashion and food cultures; ideas of nature, life, and death; new and folk religions; and science and biotechnology.; Collectively, these chapters not only demonstrate Japan's significance for anthropological research but also help make Japanese society accessible to readers unfamiliar with the country. A Companion to the Anthropology of Japan is a reference volume for scholars, but is also designed to serve as a primary text for courses in anthropology and sociology, history, and Japan and East Asian Studies
