Sandaran Sepi Antropologi

Pengetahuan lokal atau yang lebih dikenal dengan kearifan lokal menjadi salah satu bahan pembicaraan yang menarik. Local Wisdom ada yang menyebutnya. LIPI Press pada tanggal 22 Juli mengadakan webinar sebagai bentuk kick off dari program Akuisisi Pengetahuan Lokal yang telah berjalan setahun terakhir. Webinar ini turut dihadiri oleh Plh. Kelapa LIPI: Pak Agus, Kepala BRIN: L.T. Handoko, Anggota DPR dari Golkar: Mbak Dyah Roro yang membahas pengetahuan lokal masyarakat Bawean-Gresik.  Webinar Akuisisi Pengetahuan Lokal bersama LIPI Press Menurut Antropolog LIPI dari bidang Kependudukan: Herry Yogaswara lebih tepatnya menggunakan istilah pengetahuan lokal. Karena budaya bersifat relatif. Bicara kearifan lokal tidak bisa disamaratakan. Ada nilai lokal yang bagi masyarakat A dianggap baik belum tentu baik bagi masyarakat B. Jadi lebih universal jika menggunakan kata pengetahuan lokal. Sebagai sebuah filosofi budaya yang memegang teguh lokalitas dari suatu daerah secara kontekstual. Sia...

 "Pokok seneng cangkruk, gondrong, cekakakan ngopi iku arek antro" Demikian stereotyping, pandangan orang luar bahkan kawan se-FISIP sendiri kala itu. Dunia kampus yang dinamis menyajikan beragam karakter dan jenis mahasiswa Surabaya. Terlebih di FISIP UNAIR, saya teringat pada awal masuk perkuliahan, ada mahasiswa yang dapat ditebak dari gaya dandan. Hari ini dinamakan outfil. Chasing anak antrop dan politik dapat dilihat dari mahasiswa cowoknya. Tanpa janjian tapi seperti seragam.  Kerabat road to Rinjani  Kuliah-Cangkruk-PKL-Kuliah-SC-Cangkruk. Menjadi ritual umum mahasiswa antropologi. Tapi siapa sangka dibalik kegiatan yang sering bertemu dengan banyak orang tersebut ada kegiatan lain yang tidak bisa dilakukan: Mendaki Gunung. Itulah kenapa saat proses inisiasi di Bumi Perkemahan Jolotundo ketika menjadi peserta. Dalam temaram padang bulan di Bulan September itu saya melihat dengan sedikit terbengong puncak Pawitra Gunung Penanggungan yang terlihat eksotis.  "Pe...

" Covid-19 came onto this stage and obliterated the one remaining obstacle to a digital future - human attitudes " (Fareed Zakaria)  Ada yang berbeda dengan inisiasi antrop unair tahun ini. Bukan lagi antro camp di salah satu asrama sewaan sebuah kantor di Kota Surabaya. Rangkaian acara dilaksanakan secara daring. Berawal dari fasilitas google meeting sampai penggunaan Zoom .  Dari awal hingga puncak prosesi inisiasi dilakukan tanpa menimbulkan kerumuman.  Cekrek Layar 1 Pandemi Covid-19 yang telah setahun melanda negeri memukul semua sektor kehidupan. Ada banyak perubahan yang harus dihadapi dan diterima. Kerja di rumah (WFH), sekolah daring, ibadah daring sampai banyak kaum rebahan yang berupaya produktif dalam ruang gerak yang terbatas. Termasuk mahasiswa Antropologi. Pandemi membawa konsekuensi dalam kuliah, penelitian, kuliah lapangan hingga mengupayakan regenerasi kerabat lewat KKA.  Simak Juga: Antro Camp dan Regenerasi KKA   Rangkaian acara diubah. Pros...

Jennifer M.Sandoval English   ISBN: 1138671843  2016   324 Pages  Alterity or othernessis a central notion in cultural anthropology and philosophy, as well as in other disciplines. While anthropology, with its aim of understanding cultural difference, tends to take otherness as a fact, there have been vigorous attempts in contemporary philosophy, particularly in phenomenology, to answer the fundamental question: What is the Other? This book brings the two approaches to otherness - the hermeneutical pragmatics of anthropology, and the radical reflection of philosophy - together, with the goal of enriching one through the other. The philosophy of the German phenomenologist Bernhard Waldenfels, up to now little known to anthropologists, has a central position in this undertaking. Waldenfels's concept of a responsivity to the Other offers to cultural anthropology the possibility of a philosophical engagement with the Other that does not contradict the project o...

  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 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: 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...
