Sandaran Sepi Antropologi

Mas kalau masuk Antrop ngapain aja?  Gali kuburan?  Ilmu perbintangan ya?  Kalau lulus jadi apa?  Masih mengalami berondongan pertanyaan di atas? sabar jelaskan dengan pelan-pelan dan tabah. Antropologi adalah ilmu yang unik dan asyik jika kita menjiwainya. Lulus 13 tahun yang lalu sampai hari ini kerap mendapat pertanyaan serupa. Apalagi saya termasuk sarjana antrop yang masih bergelar S.Sos. setahun setelah itu (2008) yang lulus dapat gelar S.Ant. (gelar yang lebih merepresentasikan bahwa telah melewati kawah candradimukha antrop).  Trinil 2003  Apa asyiknya kuliah di antrop? Jawaban pertanyaan ini tentu beda di setiap generasi. Jaman selepas jadi maba dan diinisiasi saya menghadapi realita baru pembelajaran yang jauh ketika masa SMA. Ada mata kuliah Prasejarah dengan dosen yang nyentrik, berkacamata tebal jenggotan dan bisa merokok di kelas. Itulah asyiknya kuliah di FISIP era itu, kelas belum ada AC. Absen masih manual lihat nilai belu...

Author(s): Terry Williams Publisher: Columbia University Press, Year: 2017 ISBN: 0231177909,9780231177900 "Picturing myself dying in a way I choose myself seems so comforting, healing and heroic. I'd look at my wrists, watch the blood seeping, and be a spectator in my last act of self-determination. By having lost all my self-respect it seems like the last pride I own, determining the time I die."-Kyra V., seventeen Reading the confessions of a teenager contemplating suicide may be uncomfortable, but we must do so to understand why self-harm has become an epidemic, especially in the United States. What drives teenagers to self-harm? What makes death so attractive, so liberating, and so inevitable for so many? In Teenage Suicide Notes, the sociologist Williams evaluates young people in rural and urban contexts and across race, class, gender, and sexual orientation. His approach, which combines sensitive portrayals with objective sociological analy...

Author(s): Pink, Sarah Series: Home Publisher: Bloomsbury Academic, Year: 2017 ISBN: 9781474239141,1474239145,9781474239158,1474239153 Making Homes: Anthropology and Design  is a strong addition to the emerging field of design anthropology. Based on the latest scholarship and practice in the social sciences as well as design, this interdisciplinary text introduces a new design ethnography which offers unique and original approaches to research and intervention in the home. Presenting a coherent theoretical and methodological framework for both ethnographers and designers, the authors examine 'hot' topics – ranging from movements and mobilities to im/material environments, to digital culture – and confront the challenges of a research and design environment which seeks to bring about the changes required for a sustainable, resilient, 'safe', and comfortable future. Written by leading experts in the field, the book draws on real-life examples from a ...

Author(s): Maria do Mar Pereira Publisher: Routledge, Year: 2017 ISBN: 131743367X, 9781317433675 Feminist scholarship is sometimes dismissed as not quite ‘proper’ knowledge – it’s too political or subjective, many argue. But what are the boundaries of ‘proper’ knowledge? Who defines them, and how are they changing? How do feminists negotiate them? And how does this boundary-work affect women’s and gender studies, and its scholars’ and students’ lives? These are the questions tackled by this ground-breaking ethnography of academia inspired by feminist epistemology, Foucault, and science and technology studies. Drawing on data collected over a decade in Portugal and the UK, US and Scandinavia, this title explores different spaces of academic work and sociability, considering both official discourse and ‘corridor talk’. It links epistemic negotiations to the shifting political economy of academic labour, and situates the smallest (but fiercest) departmental negotiations wi...

Author(s): Nicolas Peterson, Anna Kenny (eds.) Series: Monographs in Anthropology Publisher: Australian National University Press, Year: 2017 ISBN: 1760461326, 9781760461324 The contribution of German ethnography to Australian anthropological scholarship on Aboriginal societies and cultures has been limited, primarily because few people working in the field read German. But it has also been neglected because its humanistic concerns with language, religion and mythology contrasted with the mainstream British social anthropological tradition that prevailed in Australia until the late 1960s. The advent of native title claims, which require drawing on the earliest ethnography for any area, together with an increase in research on rock art of the Kimberley region, has stimulated interest in this German ethnography, as have some recent book translations. Even so, several major bodies of ethnography, such as the 13 volumes on the cultures of northeastern South Australia and the ...

Author(s): Alice Elliot, Roger Norum, Noel B. Salazar (eds.) Series: Worlds in Motion Publisher: Berghahn Books, Year: 2017 ISBN: 1785334808,9781785334801 Research into mobility is an exciting challenge for the social sciences that raises novel social, cultural, spatial and ethical questions. At the heart of these empirical and theoretical complexities lies the question of methodology: how can we best capture and understand a planet in flux?  Methodologies of Mobility  speaks beyond disciplinary boundaries to the methodological challenges and possibilities of engaging with a world on the move. With scholars continuing to face different forms and scales of mobility, this volume strategically traces innovative ways of designing, applying and reflecting on both established and cutting-edge methodologies of mobility.

Author(s): Didier Fassin (Editor) Publisher: Duke University Press, Year: 2017 ISBN: 9780822369776 What happens when ethnographers go public via books, opinion papers, media interviews, court testimonies, policy recommendations, or advocacy activities? Calling for a consideration of this public moment as part and parcel of the research process, the contributors to If Truth Be Told explore the challenges, difficulties, and stakes of having ethnographic research encounter various publics, ranging from journalists, legal experts, and policymakers to activist groups, local populations, and other scholars. The experiences they analyze include Didier Fassin’s interventions on police and prison, Gabriella Coleman's multiple roles as intermediary between hackers and journalists, Kelly Gillespie's and Jonathan Benthall's experiences serving as expert witnesses, the impact of Manuela Ivone Cunha's and Vincent Dubois's work on public policies, and the vociferous at...
