New Books in Environmental StudiesMaron E. Greenleaf, "Forest Lost: Producing Green Capitalism in the Brazilian Amazon" (Duke UP, 2024)Forest Lost: Producing Green Capitalism in the Brazilian Amazon (2024) is an ethnography of forest carbon offsets and the wider effort to make the living rainforest valuable in the Brazilian Amazon. Situated in the state of Acre, which continuously had to grapple with a complex positionality between frontier and periphery, Maron E. Greenleaf explores forest carbon offset to understand green capitalism. Commodifying forest carbon offset requires keeping carbon in place through forest protection and valuation, unlike other forest commodities – for example Açaí berries, which also feature in the ethnography – that involve extraction.

AnthroArtNotes for an Anthropology of Plastics - Magdalena CrăciunNowadays fossil-based plastics are ubiquitous. They are in our clothes, buildings, cars, and roads. Accumulations of very small pieces of plastics, called micro-plastics and nano-plastics, are present everywhere in nature and various organisms, including humans, with effects whose gravity we are only now beginning to understand. In addition, fossil-based plastics are almost indestructible, being considered the “new immortals,” next to other man-made materials such as cement or radioactive waste. Then, in our “plasticized” world, how do we relate to plastics and how do we learn to approach its dangerous and almost eternal presence? These are some of the questions of an anthr...2023-03-2119 min

Che praticamente ogni struttura economica sociale culturale che sorregge il nostro mondo derivasse da una centralità del maschio, pure. Ma un conto è saperlo, un conto è farselo sbattere in faccia con la crudezza che solo un approccio filosoficamente rigoroso può avere. Una chiacchierata che voleva essere uno stress test per Samurai, un progetto che a ben vedere è un’apoteosi maschile. Con Samanta Picciaiola abbiamo parlato del potere che ha il desiderio di innescare cambiamenti, e di come ormai abbiamo silenziato questa nostra capacità di immaginare dando voce a ci...2022-04-151h 12
Nomadismo ProfessionaleSocietà liquida e flussi culturaliInsieme alla rivoluzione digitale e al cambiamento climatico, migrazioni, marginalizzazione sociale e globalizzazione sono i grandi fenomeni della nostra epoca. Ci sono due grandi intellettuali contemporanei che a questi temi hanno dedicato tutta la loro vita. Le loro teorie permettono di mettere meglio a fuoco le connessioni esistenti tra tutti questi ampi e variegati processi in atto: mi riferisco a Zygmunt Bauman che ha introdtto il concetto di società liquida e a Arjun Appadurai, teorico dei flussi culturali globali.

Some argue that the term ‘fascist’ would be useful in understanding the nature of politics in these countries, while others warn against an inflationary use of the term.

АнлерКто такой гражданин мира ? Разговор об одном итальянском фильме и о моей диссертацииВсе мы когда-либо слышали о понятии "гражданин мира", но иногда с трудом можем себе представить кто он и зачем стоит или не стоит следовать идеям космополитизма. У многих он весьма справедливо ассоциируется с колониализмом, империализмом или просто привилегированным статусом в обществе. Другие понимают под "космополитизмом" способность говорить на разных языках, желание путешествовать и открывать для себя страны и культуры. Что об этом думает современная философия, как итальянские пенсионеры могут быть гражданами мира и при чем тут моя диссертация - об этом новый выпуск Анлера.Кстати, публикуя этот эпизод, я узнала о том, что Salih Saasin Khalid, в роли Абу, сыграл в фильме самого себя. На деньги, заработанные на съемках, он смог уехать в Канаду. Источник : https://www.allocine.fr/film/fichefilm-273523/secrets-tournage/ Ссылки на авторов, которых я упоминаю :Appadurai, Arjun (2013).

Examining the role of designers, investors, and consumers in the era of digital products and services, Appadurai showed how technological innovation has turned disruption into the primary entrepreneurial ideology.

Dialoghi di Pistoia | Lezioni e conferenzeArjun Appadurai | Nuovi viaggi immaginari e flussi globali | Dialoghi di Pistoia 2013Arjun Appadurai, uno dei più importanti pensatori e antropologi al mondo, è anche il massimo studioso di globalizzazione e flussi globali: gli uomini hanno sempre viaggiato cercando altrove migliori condizioni di vita, ma con l’avvento della tecnologia e la conseguente modernità diffusa è cambiato radicalmente lo scenario creando nuovi flussi e nuovi panorami. Nel mondo in cui viviamo oggi viaggiano sia le persone sia le immagini: talvolta questi viaggi sono voluti, altre volte involontari e forzati. Ma in entrambi i casi, il viaggiare e il cambiamento di luogo offuscano alcuni aspetti dell’immaginazione, liberandone altri. «Noi che ci occupiamo di studi cul...2013-05-251h 01![CHIASMOS: The University of Chicago International and Area Studies Multimedia Outreach Source [audio]](http://chiasmos.uchicago.edu/chiasmosPodcastLogo_05_144.jpg)
