Wind energy is often portrayed as a panacea for the environmental and political ills brought on by an overreliance on fossil fuels but this characterization may ignore the impact wind farms have on the regions that host them Power Struggles investigates the uneven allocation of risks and benefits in the relationship between the regions that produce this energy and those that consume it Jaume Franquesa considers Spain a country where wind now constitutes the main source of energy production In particular he looks at the Southern Catalonia region which has traditionally been a source of energy production through nuclear reactors dams oil refineries and gas and electrical lines Despite providing energy that runs the country the region is still forced to the political and economic periphery as the power they produce is controlled by centralized international Spanish corporations Local resistance to wind farm installation in Southern Catalonia relies on the notion of dignity the ability to live within one s means and according to one s own decisions Power Struggles shows how without careful attention renewable energy production can reinforce patterns of exploitation even as it promises a fair and hopeful future

Recruited to be a lecturer on a group tour of Indonesia, Edward M. Bruner decided to make the tourists aware of tourism itself. He photographed tourists photographing Indonesians, asking the group how they felt having their pictures taken without their permission. After a dance performance, Bruner explained to the group that the exhibition was not traditional, but instead had been set up specifically for tourists. His efforts to induce reflexivity led to conflict with the tour company, which wanted the displays to be viewed as replicas of culture and to remain unexamined. Although Bruner was eventually fired, the experience became part of a sustained exploration of tourist performances, narratives, and practices. Synthesizing more than twenty years of research in cultural tourism, Culture on Tour analyzes a remarkable variety of tourist productions, ranging from safari excursions in Kenya and dance dramas in Bali to an Abraham Lincoln heritage site in Illinois. Bruner examines each site in all its particularity, taking account of global and local factors, as well as the multiple perspectives of the various actors the tourists, the producers, the locals, and even the anthropologist himself. The collection will be essential to those in the field as well as to readers interested in globalization and travel.

Este libro reflexiona sobre el curso de la Antropología jurídica, concretamente, sobre los desarrollos de problemáticas asentadas en etnografías y en fuentes históricas. Asimismo, expone las consecuencias que tiene el derecho sobre la vida y muestra el encuentro de las tradiciones juridicas con las antropologicas: conflictos y normas, ritos y simbolos, leyes y costumbres, y encuentros y procesos. Establece tambien una tipologia de la justicia y algunos universales concretos para distintas civilizaciones.

Una de les fites a que aspira l’antropologia es el qüestionament de la realitat donada per descomptat, i alhora es una de les raons, entre moltes altres, que n’explica la capacitat de seducció. Els

La tarea propia de la Antropología filosófica, como indagación acerca de lo específico de la realidad humana, desde la confluencia de las aportaciones de las ciencias humanas, las diversas antropologias cientificas y la interpretacion critica de la filosofia, sigue siendo un objetivo no suficientemente resuelto todavia. Se nos ofrece aqui un nuevo intento de definir su estatuto epistemologico, asi como su complementario estatuto critico-ideologico.

"L''ecologia della mente" scrive Bateson in apertura di questo volume, che contiene i suoi piu importanti scritti teorici, "e una scienza che ancora non esiste come corpus organico di teoria o conoscenza". Ma questa scienza in formazione e nondimeno essenziale. Essa sola permette di capire, ricorrendo alle stesse categorie, questioni come "la simmetria bilaterale di un animale, la disposizione strutturata delle foglie in una pianta, l''amplificazione successiva della corsa agli armamenti, le pratiche del corteggiamento, la natura del gioco, la grammatica di una frase, il mistero della evoluzione biologica e la crisi in cui oggi si trovano i rapporti tra l''uomo e l''ambiente".
