Springer Verlag, Japan Learning Strategies and Cultural Evolution during the Palaeolithic
Book SynopsisThis volume is motivated by the desire to explain why Neanderthals were replaced by modern humans, in terms of cultural differences between the two (sub-) species. It provides up-to-date coverage on the theory of cultural evolution as is being used by anthropologists, archaeologists, biologists and psychologists to decipher hominin cultural change and diversity during the Palaeolithic. The contributing authors are directly involved in this effort and the material presented includes novel approaches and findings. Chapters explain how learning strategies in combination with social and demographic factors (e.g., population size and mobility patterns) predict cultural evolution in a world without the printing press, television or the Internet. Also addressed is the inverse problem of how learning strategies may be inferred from actual trajectories of cultural change, for example as seen in the North American Palaeolithic. Mathematics and statistics, a sometimes necessary part of theory, are explained in elementary terms where they appear, with details relegated to appendices. Full citations of the relevant literature will help the reader to further pursue any topic of interest.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Experimental Studies of Cumulative Culture in Modern Humans: What are the Requirements of the Ratchet.- Factors Limiting the Number of Independent Cultural Traits That Can Be Maintained in a Population.- Inferring Learning Strategies from Cultural Frequency Data.- The Replacement of Neanderthals by Modern Humans and the Diversity in Cultural Transition Patterns: a Theoretical Perspective.- Simulating Geographical Variation in Material Culture: Were Early Modern Humans in Europe Ethnically Structured?.- “Learning in the Acheulean: Experimental Insights Using Handaxe Form as a ‘Model Organism’.- Behavioral Modernity and the Cultural Transmission of Structured Information: The Semantic Axelrod Model.- Evolution of Culturally Transmitted Teaching Behavior.- Transmission of Cultural Variants in the North American Paleolithic.- Mobility and Cultural Diversity in Central-Place Foragers: Implications for the Emergence of Modern Human Behavior.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Someone To Lend a Helping Hand: Women Growing Old
Book SynopsisBy providing descriptions of the experiences of thirty rural Minnesota women, often in their own words, this timely and topical book examines the expectations, beliefs and values of the women as they grow old in rural America. A lifecourse perspective fosters a better understanding of the aging process in terms of an individual's life experiences within the context of a cultural environment. To show how various elements shaped the women's lives in later years, and to give the fullest possible descriptions, the study combines both qualitative and quantitative research of the rural elderly in Minnesota. Through their stories, the women stress the cultural, familial and personal issues that continue to be important to them as they age. They explore the elements of continuity, as well as those of change, as a part of the lifecourse. Also detailed are their insights and experiences concerning interactions with different formal and informal support networks, as well as the more general topics. Table of Contents1. Formal and Informal Systems of Support: A Comparison of the United States and Denmark 2. Interpreting a Life 3. Looking to the Future 4. A Woman's Story 5.

Springer Verlag, Singapore The Rise of Legal Graffiti Writing in New York and Beyond
Book SynopsisThis pivot analyzes the historical emergence of legal graffiti and how it has led to a new ethos among writers. Examining how contemporary graffiti writing has been brought into new relationships with major social institutions, it explores the contemporary dynamics between graffiti, society, the art world and social media, paying particular attention to how New York City’s political elite has reacted to graffiti. Despite its major structural transformation, officials in New York continue to construe graffiti writing culture as a monolithic, criminal enterprise, a harbinger of economic and civic collapse. This basic paradox – persistent state opposition to legal forms of graffiti that continue to gain social acceptance – is found in many other major cities throughout the globe, especially those that have embraced neoliberal forms of governance. The author accounts for the cultural conflicts that graffiti consistently engenders by theorizing the political and economic advantages that elites secure by endorsing strong 'anti-graffiti' positions.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- The extraction of subway graffiti: The late 1960s to 1989.- The “clean train” era: Creating a space for the legal production of graffiti.- Responding to the new graffiti writing culture: Broader publics, art worlds, and the sphere of commodity exchange.- The moral panic over graffiti in New York City: Political elites and the mass print media.- Engendering desire for neoliberal penality and the logic of growth machines.- Conclusion.

Haymarket Books Theater(s) and Public Sphere in a Global and
Book SynopsisVolume 1 of Theater(s) and Public Sphere in a Global and Digital Society explores the fundamental contribution that artistic and cultural forms bring to social dynamics and how these can consolidate cohabitation and create meaningfulness, in addition to fulfilling economic and regulatory needs. As symbolic forms of collective social practices, artistic and cultural forms weave together the meaning of territories, contexts, and peoples, and also of the generations who traverse them. These forms of meaning interact with the social imaginary, mediate marginalization, transform barriers into bridges, and are indispensable tools for any social coexistence and its continuous rethinking in everyday life. The various epistemic approaches present here refer to sociology, theatre studies, cultural studies, psychology, economy of culture, and social statistics which observe theatre as a social phenomenon. Contributors are: Maria Shevstova, Ilaria Riccioni, Roberta Paltrinieri, Gerhard Glüher, Raimondo Guarino, Mariselda Tessarolo, Raffaele Federici, Marco Serino, Maria Grazia Turri, Elena Olesina, Elena Polyudova, Marisol Facuse, Vincenzo Del Gaudio, Laura Gemini, Stefano Brilli, Jessica Camargo Molano, Annalisa Cicerchia, Simona Staffieri and Giulia Cavrini.Table of ContentsPrefaceAcknowledgementsList of Figures and TablesNotes on Contributors1 Artistic Processes and Characteristics: Key Problems of the Sociology of the Theatre In Dialogue with Pierre Bourdieu Maria Shevtsova2 The Social and Political Impact of the Theatre in Contemporary Society Ilaria Riccioni3 Theatre at University as a Way to Increase the Sense of Citizenship and Civil Spirit Roberta Paltrinieri4 Staged Passages between Art and Everyday Life Gerhard Glüher5 Urban Environment, Places for Performance A Groundbreaking Experience: Renato Nicolini and Estate Romana (1976–1985) Raimondo Guarino6 The Theatre as the Stage of an Elusive Further Society Mariselda Tessarolo7 Paris and Popular Theatre in Robert Michels La foule and the Audience in the Years of Classical Sociology Raffaele Federici8 The Undone Discipline A Historical and Critical-Theoretical Account of the Sociology of the Theatre Marco Serino9 Theatre as Intersubjective Space for the Mediation of Collective Identity Outline of a Psychoanalytic Perspective Maria Grazia Turri10 Historical Reenactment and Theatrical Performance On New Perspectives of Educational Methods Elena Olesina and Elena Polyudova11 Political Theatre in the 20th Century Elements for Archaeology Marisol Facuse12 Blast Theory between Public Space and Social Space Vincenzo Del Gaudio13 Live/Life Sharing The Use of Social Media by Contemporary Theatre Companies in Italy Laura Gemini and Stefano Brilli14 Theatre as a Means of “Interpreting” Lockdown The Case of Staged Jessica Camargo Molano15 Cultural Welfare Theatre in the Limelight Annalisa Cicerchia and Simona Staffieri16 Measuring Culture – How and Why?

Oxford University Press The Elizabethan New Years Gift Exchanges 15591603
Book SynopsisThe records of Queen Elizabeth''s New Year''s gift exchanges convey a wealth of information about the late Tudor court. Records of twenty-four exchanges survive from the forty-five years of Elizabeth''s reign, naming more than 1,200 participants. The vellum rolls record what was given to the Queen and what she gave in return. The gift rolls convey important information on a broad range of topics, including Elizabethan biography, language, and social and economic conditions, as well as the age''s costume, jewellery, and plate, yet they remain largely unstudied by scholars in the many disciplines that would benefit from such evidence. A. Jeffries Collins, the first scholar to undertake a comprehensive analysis of the rolls, lamented more than a half-century ago how little use had been made of them by professional historians. Elizabethan studies rarely cite the substantial and varied information found in these documents, and even that use has been almost wholly restricted to the seven NewTrade ReviewLawson's book is replete with enticing goodies * Gerit Quealy, Huffington Post *admirable ... Jane Lawson's edition of all the surviving gift rolls kept by the Elizabethan Jewel House to record gifts received and given by the Crown at New Year provides a fascinating journey through the plate, jewels, clothing and scribal books that reflect the brilliance of the late-sixteenth-century court. * Felicity Heal, English Historical Review *a work of consummate scholarly endeavor that should be consulted by any academic active in research on Elizabeth's court - the likelihood that one will find a reference relevant to one's research is high. * Samuel Morrison Gallacher, Sixteenth Century Journal *Table of ContentsAPPENDICES

Book SynopsisReveals that the globalization of American mass culture that seems unstoppable today began as early as the mid-nineteenth century.

Book SynopsisThis volume tackles the issues of globalization and sexuality.

It is dazzlingly ambitious in its scope, ranging from fellatio in the White House and bulimia in Fiji to AIDS in Africa and transgender in Taiwan." - New Internationalist "A gripping portrait of a world barely able to keep pace with enormous, rapid-fire changes.... Offering neither a dire warning nor a reason to rejoice, his savvy, energetic book truly maintains a global perspective." - Publishers Weekly

The University of Chicago Press Black Critics and Kings The Hermeneutics of Power
Book SynopsisHow can we account for the power of ritual? This is the guiding question of Black Critics and Kings, which examines how Yoruba forms of ritual and knowledge shape politics, history, and resistance against the state. Focusing on deep knowledge in Yoruba cosmology as an interpretive space for configuring difference, Andrew Apter analyzes ritual empowerment as an essentially critical practice, one that revises authoritative discourses of space, time, gender, and sovereignty to promote political-and even violent-change. Documenting the development of a Yoruba kingdom from its nineteenth-century genesis to Nigeria's 1983 elections and subsequent military coup, Apter identifies the central role of ritual in reconfiguring power relations both internally and in relation to wider political arenas. What emerges is an ethnography of an interpretive vision that has broadened the horizons of local knowledge to embrace Christianity, colonialism, class formation, and the contemporary Nigerian state. In this capacity, Yoruba òrìsà worship remains a critical site of response to hegemonic interventions. With sustained theoretical argument and empirical rigor, Apter answers critical anthropologists who interrogate the possibility of ethnography. He reveals how an indigenous hermeneutics of power is put into ritual practice-with multiple voices, self-reflexive awareness, and concrete political results. Black Critics and Kings eloquently illustrates the ethnographic value of listening to the voice of the other, with implications extending beyond anthropology to engage leading debates in black critical theory.
