The Palgrave Handbook of Institutional Ethnography

  The Palgrave Handbook of Institutional Ethnography Paul C. Luken, Suzanne Vaughan Springer International Publishing;Palgrave Macmillan (2021) A comprehensive guide to the alternative sociology originating in the work of Dorothy E. Smith, this Handbook not only explores the basic, founding principles of institutional ethnography (IE), but also captures current developments, approaches, and debates. Now widely known as a “sociologyforpeople,” IE offers the tools to uncover the social relations shaping the everyday world in which we live and is utilized by scholars and social activists in sociology and beyond, including such fields as education, nursing, social work, linguistics, health and medical care, environmental studies, and other social-service related fields. Covering the theoretical and methodological underpinnings of IE, recent developments, and current areas of research and application that have yet to appear in the literature,The Palgrave Handbook of Institutional Ethnog...

Ethnography: A Theoretically Oriented Practice

  Ethnography: A Theoretically Oriented Practice Vincenzo Matera, Angela Biscaldi (eds) Springer International Publishing;Palgrave Macmillan (2021) This volume presents both a historical exploration of ethnography and a thematic discussion of major trends that, over different periods, have oriented and re-oriented research practice. As it overviews ethnography from different geographic and thematic perspectives, it further explores new lines of ethnographic research, including as feminist ethnography and visual research, that uncover non-traditional routes to anthropological knowledge. As the great ethnographer E. E. Evans-Pritchard wrote, “Anyone who is not a complete idiot can do fieldwork… but will [his contribution] be to theoretical, or just to factual knowledge?” As Evans-Pritchard highlights and as this book argues, successful ethnography must be connected to a sophisticated theoretical reflection rooted in social and cultural anthropology.

Design Ethnography

  Design Ethnography: Epistemology and Methodology Francis Müller SpringerBriefs in Anthropology Springer International Publishing;Springer (2021) This open access book describes methods for research on and research through design. It posits that ethnography is an appropriate method for design research because it constantly orients itself, like design projects, towards social realities. In research processes, designers acquire project-specific knowledge, which happens mostly intuitively in practice. When this knowledge becomes the subject of reflection and explication, it strengthens the discipline of design and makes it more open to interdisciplinary dialogue. Through the use of the ethnographic method in design, this book shows how design researchers can question the certainties of the everyday world, deconstruct reality into singular aesthetic and semantic phenomena, and reconfigure them into new contexts of signification. It shows that design ethnography is a process in which t...

Dealing with Disasters

  Dealing with Disasters: Perspectives from Eco-Cosmologies Diana Riboli, Pamela J. Stewart, Andrew J. Strathern, Davide Torri Palgrave Studies in Disaster Anthropology (2021)                                           Providing a fresh look at some of the pressing issues of our world today, this collection focuses on experiential and ritualized coping practices in response to a multitude of environmental challenges―cyclones, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, earthquakes, warfare and displacements of peoples and environmental resource exploitation.

Kuliah Lapangan Antropologi Dapat Apa?

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...

Teenage Suicide Notes: An Ethnography of Self-Harm

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...
