In volume 1, Professor Verdon sought to identify what crippled social anthropologys original project, that of understanding sociocultural variability. He found its cause in a universal, Aristotelian cosmology that renders groups ontologically variable to their principles of social organization, by defining them in terms of behaviour regulation. In this second volume, he develops a cure to that cosmological malaise: to define groups outside all behaviour regulation, and to define a separate group for every type of activity (unifunctional groups). From these two new cosmological requirements he sets out to define all the main concepts of social anthropology in what he calls an operational language (defined with respect to anthropologys aims, not as entities with intrinsic anthropological attributes): groups, corporations, descent, territoriality, lineages, segmentation, sovereignty and so on.He then applies this language to translate classical ethnographies operationally. He first chose the most famous ethnographies of so-called segmentary lineage societies, the Nuer (Sudan), Tallensi (Ghana) and Tiv (Nigeria), and then added the Berbers from the Rif (Morocco), the Yao (Malawi) and Australian Aborigines. All those societies were described as having descent groups. Translated operationally, ONLY ONE of them retains descent groups (the Tallensi). This leads him radically to transform the ethnographic landscape of social anthropology. Where all ethnographers saw descent groups almost everywhere, he finds them to be rare occurrences, now replaced with clientelistic social formations.Overall, setting out to define a set of etic (objective) concepts, he discovers that this language actually yields much better emic approaches to social organization (an approach closer to the actors subjective experience).

Bridgerton is the runaway Netflix success that has captured the hearts and imaginations of its biggest ever global audience. Producers Chris Van Dusen and Shonda Rhimes have ripped up the Regency drama rulebook to create a series that speaks to a modern audience. Apart from the intense sexual chemistry, inspired casting and a lavish costume budget, what sets Bridgerton apart is the extensive use of location shooting. Step forward Bath: the Georgian architectural jewel gets to play many different parts of fashionable London. Bridgertons Bath takes you on a tour of all these locations from No.1 The Royal Crescent (the Featheringtons house on Grosvenor Square) to Abbey Green (Covent Garden) and the Abbey Deli (Modiste couturier) on Abbey Street. Bridgerton intersects with Jane Austens world at the Assembly Rooms where one of the early balls takes place, while the 18th-century Bath Guildhall also gets a place on the series dance card. A key character in the drama is Lady Danbury, played by Adjoa Andoh, and her grand mansion is Baths former Sydney Hotel, today the Holburne Museum. Gunters Tea Room was a celebrated London patisserie and in Bridgerton it can be found on Trim Street. Many Bath streets feature regularly, including Beauford Square, a place for regular carriage trips and the Royal Crescent, which in Series One, reverberated to the sound of galloping hooves as our heroine (or her stunt double) raced to stop a duel. The book includes a feature on how the series was filmed in the city, and includes a detailed map so you can follow your own Bridgerton Walking Tour of this beautiful city, which has more to offer besides.

Las clases del curso que dictó Sebreli en la Academia del Sur entre 1996 y 1997 sobre las revoluciones políticas, sociales y culturales del siglo XX. Verdadero testamento intelectual del gran ensayista argentino.Mediados de la decada de 1990. Los paises que pocos años antes habian pertenecido a la orbita del comunismo atravesaban transiciones turbulentas cuyo impacto recorria todo el planeta. En ese contexto historico inedito y en la cumbre de su carrera (venia de publicar El asedio a la modernidad y El vacilar de las cosas), Juan Jose Sebreli dicto en Buenos Aires un curso sobre revoluciones politicas, sociales y culturales. Su proposito: analizar sin concesiones el siglo XX a la luz de la idea de revolucion y tratar de entenderlo dando por tierra con cualquier tipo de mito. En estas clases, con audacia y lucidez, siempre fiel a su espiritu implacablemente desconfiado, Sebreli la emprende con el reves de los hechos para encontrar los elementos de verdad sepultados en estratos de interpretaciones doctrinarias. Nada se libra de su escrutinio impiadoso: desde el concepto mismo de revolucion, pasando por los tipos de organizaciones que las llevaron adelante y los metodos que utilizaron, hasta las versiones canonicas de los hitos que llegaron a cristalizar como indiscutibles: la revolucion rusa y las revoluciones chinas; la guerra civil española; el fascismo, el nazismo, el estalinismo y la Segunda Guerra Mundial; los movimientos de posguerra; la revolucion cubana, y como repercutieron esos procesos en emergentes de la cotidianeidad social como la liberacion sexual, las revueltas estudiantiles, la moda y el cine. El curso fue grabado, luego volcado en papel y, finalmente, corregido a mano por el propio Sebreli cuyo estilo coloquial y marcas de oralidad Marcelo Gioffredecidio conservar en esta edicion, que amplifica la voz reflexiva y el ethos intelectual del ultimo gran ensayista argentino.

Una exploración de la psiquis colectiva; de los sentimientos, afectos y representaciones que hicieron posible el vertiginoso ascenso de la ultraderecha en la Argentina. Los odios y resentimientos, pero tambien las ilusiones y demandas hacia el futuro.Cristian Alarcon (coordinador)Paula Sibilia, Luis Ignacio Garcia, Moira Perez,Micaela cuesta, Rossana Reguillo, Hernan BorisonikSebastian Carassai, Mariana Luzzi y Maria Soledad Sanchez.El cambio de epoca merece una exploracion del animo social. Desde la filosofia, la sociologia, la ciencia politica, la historia y el psicoanalisis, esta serie de ensayos hacen foco en las representaciones, los sentimientos y humores que dieron lugar e impulso al veloz ascenso de la ultraderecha en la Argentina. En este mundo de promesas rotas -del Estado de Bienestar inviable a la autorrealizacion que no se alcanza- florecen las pasiones tristes: frustracion, resentimiento, indignacion, odio. Y se potencia la explotacion politica de las emociones propias de esta etapa del capitalismo en el que las logicas del deber, el interes colectivo o la trascendencia fueron desplazadas por las del individualismo mientras se tensaba hasta romperse el lazo que anudaba trabajo con futuro.Los textos de este libro trazan ese diagnostico y tambien invitan a imaginar un futuro. Evadiendo los analisis rapidos y polarizantes, la tentacion de asignar valores negativos o positivos segun el voto, buscan en un presente opaco destellos de lo que vendra.Cristian Alarcon, autor de las novelas de no ficcion Cuando me muera quiero que me toquen cumbia y Si me queres, quereme transa, y del Premio Alfaguara de Novela El tercer paraiso, creo y dirige desde 2012 la revista digital Anfibia, que propone un cruce entre el periodismo narrativo y la academia. Con ese espiritu reunio estos ensayos que configuran una pintura de la epoca.

Fascism is back. This time no swastikas, Nazi flags, or deadly bureaucracy, but MAGA hats, right-wing extremist memes, and a triumphant fist held high. For the first time in modern history, far right parties in some European countries have won a larger share of the votes than the Conservatives and the Social Democrats.Fascism hollows out democracies from within. It starts with language, not tanks. With democratic elections, not a coup.But how do fascists mobilise citizens? How has fascism become normalised in Europe again? And how do we stop it?

O que é uma mulher que não é mãe? Tudo o que ela quiser ser.E se, em vez de retratar mulheres sem filhos como tristes, egoístas ou disfuncionais, as víssemos como pessoas autônomas, com uma nova visã

In this bold and intimate semi-autobiographical novel, La Maison, Emma Becker transports the reader behind the closed doors of a Berlin brothel, where she worked for two years not only to earn a living, but to immerse herself in a world she wanted to understand and to write about with unflinching honesty. What emerges is a deeply personal, unsentimental, and often surprising account of life inside the brothel, where Becker explores not just the physical aspects of sex work, but the emotional, psychological, and social complexities that shape it.With frankness and literary insight, she recounts her encounters with clients, her growing self-awareness, and, most poignantly, the friendships and solidarity she finds among the other women who work there. Far from reducing sex work to cliche or voyeurism, Becker gives space to the quiet routines, shared laughter, private pain, and hard-won dignity of a profession often misunderstood and rarely written about from the inside.Part memoir, part sociological study, and wholly literary, La Maison challenges preconceptions about sex, agency, and femininity, offering a provocative and compassionate exploration of what it means to inhabit multiple identitiesas worker, writer, woman, and witness.

Are we seeing history repeat itself?An urgent, surprising and altogether persuasive read, Repeat: A Warning from History will open your eyes.We live in an age that seems eerily familiar. A time of dictators, populists, organised lying, European wars, grabs for territory, ideological extremism and antisemitism. A time when things are falling apart and the centre is struggling to hold. The insurrection on the Capitol in January 2021 evoked chilling memories of the calamity of Hitler in the 1920s and 30s. The world needs to learn the lessons of these decades, and fast. Dennis Glover retells the story of the interwar years in a series of lessons drawn from unfolding events and the unheeded omens of those who spoke out but were ignored.

Una puerta de entrada esencial al pensamiento de Simone Weil, con dos de sus ensayos más lúcidos sobre la libertad, la opresión y la violencia, acompañados por una introducción actual y accesible de Juan Evaristo, que invita a leer a Weil como una pensadora imprescindible para nuestro tiempo.Una de las pensadoras mas radicales del siglo XX, como nunca la habias leido.Simone Weil escribio con una lucidez implacable sobre la libertad, la fuerza y la injusticia, sin separar nunca el pensamiento de la experiencia. Esta antologia reune dos de sus textos mas impactantes, perfectos para quienes se acercan por primera vez a su obra: Reflexiones sobre las causas de la libertad y de la opresion social, un ensayo filosofico de sorprendente actualidad sobre las estructuras de poder y la condicion humana, y La Iliada o el poema de la fuerza, una lectura poderosa del poema homerico como simbolo universal de la violencia y su capacidad de deshumanizacion. Ambos textos comparten una idea central: que la fuerza, cuando domina la vida individual o colectiva, destruye no solo a los oprimidos, sino tambien a los vencedores. Weil nos invita a mirar esa fuerza de frente, sin ilusiones, y a preguntarnos que puede significar hoy resistirla, tanto en el plano politico como en el etico. La edicion se completa con una introduccion inedita del filosofo Juan Evaristo, que traza un puente entre el pensamiento de Weil y los dilemas contemporaneos, y nos recuerda por que esta autora incomoda y luminosa sigue siendo una voz insustituible.
