Indigenous Peoples and the Collaborative Stewardship of Nature - Knowledge Binds and Institutional Conflicts (Paperback): Anne... Indigenous Peoples and the Collaborative Stewardship of Nature - Knowledge Binds and Institutional Conflicts (Paperback)
Anne Ross, Kathleen Pickering Sherman, Jeffrey G Snodgrass, Henry D Delcore, Richard Sherman
R1,270 Discovery Miles 12 700 Ships in 9 - 17 working days

Involving Indigenous peoples and traditional knowledge into natural resource management produces more equitable and successful outcomes. Unfortunately, argue Anne Ross and co-authors, even many "progressive" methods fail to produce truly equal partnerships. This book offers a comprehensive and global overview of the theoretical, methodological, and practical dimensions of co-management. The authors critically evaluate the range of management options that claim to have integrated Indigenous peoples and knowledge, and then outline an innovative, alternative model of co-management, the Indigenous Stewardship Model. They provide detailed case studies and concrete details for application in a variety of contexts. Broad in coverage and uniting robust theoretical insights with applied detail, this book is ideal for scholars and students as well as for professionals in resource management and policy.

Systematic Methods for Analyzing Culture - A Practical Guide (Hardcover): Jeffrey G Snodgrass, Evan R. Polzer, William Cody... Systematic Methods for Analyzing Culture - A Practical Guide (Hardcover)

R4,467 Discovery Miles 44 670 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Systematic Methods for Analyzing Culture is a practical manual that provides step-by-step instruction for collecting and analyzing cultural data. This compact guide explains complex topics in straightforward and practical terms, via research examples, textual and visual software guides, and hands-on exercises. Through each chapter's introductory examples, the manual illustrates how socially learned knowledge provides group members with shared understandings of the world, which allow for mutually intelligible interactions. The authors then carefully walk readers through the process of eliciting those socially learned, shared, and thus cultural representations of reality, which structure the thinking and practice of individuals inhabiting social groups. Specifically, the book shows how researchers can elicit such thought and behavior via methods such as free lists, pile sorts, cultural consensus and consonance analysis, textual analysis, and personal network research. The book will help both undergraduate and graduate students identify ways to unpack the "black box" of culture, which may be absent or given only cursory attention within their training and respective fields. The book's clear and systematic step-by-step walkthroughs of each method will also encourage more established researchers, educators, and practitioners-from diverse fields and with varying levels of experience-to integrate techniques for assessing cultural processes into their research, teaching, and practice.

Casting Kings - Bards and Indian Modernity (Paperback, New): Jeffrey G Snodgrass Casting Kings - Bards and Indian Modernity (Paperback, New)
Jeffrey G Snodgrass
R746 Discovery Miles 7 460 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Based on three years of anthropological fieldwork in the Indian state of Rajasthan, Casting Kings explores the manner in which semi-nomadic performers known as Bhats understand, and also subvert, caste hierarchies. A number of scholars have recently contended that caste is invented and thus a fiction of a kind. But focus in these studies is typically placed on the way caste is imagined according to the agendas and desires of elite Westerners such as colonial officials. In this book, by contrast, the author argues that Bhats themselves understand the imaginative dimensions of caste relations. Indeed, such insights are shown to lie at the heart of the Bhats traditional profession of praise- and insult-singing. Likewise, the author demonstrates how the ability to cleverly rework and even sabotage lingering caste inequalities continues to form the basis for Bhat claims to status and dignity in contemporary India.

The Avatar Faculty - Ecstatic Transformations in Religion and Video Games (Hardcover): Jeffrey G Snodgrass The Avatar Faculty - Ecstatic Transformations in Religion and Video Games (Hardcover)
Jeffrey G Snodgrass
R1,938 Discovery Miles 19 380 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The Avatar Faculty creatively examines the parallels between spiritual and digital activities to explore the roles that symbolic second selves—avatars—can play in our lives. The use of avatars can allow for what anthropologists call ecstasy, from the Greek ekstasis, meaning "standing outside oneself." The archaic techniques of promoting spiritual ecstasy, which remain central to religious healing traditions around the world, now also have contemporary analogues in virtual worlds found on the internet. In this innovative book, Jeffrey G. Snodgrass argues that avatars allow for the ecstatic projection of consciousness into alternate realities, potentially providing both the spiritually possessed and gamers access to superior secondary identities with elevated social standing. Even if only temporary, self-transformations of these kinds can help reduce psychosocial stress and positively improve health and well-being.
