In The Dilemma of Context, Scharfstein contends that the problems encountered with context are insoluble. He explains why this problem lays an intellectual burden on us that, while remaining inescapable,can become so heavy it destroys the understandingit was created to further.

In Race on Display in 20th- and 21st-Century France Knox turns the tables France's rhetoric of 'internal otherness', asking her reader not to spot those deemed France's others but rather to deconstruct the very gazes that produce them. Weaving together a vast corpus of colonial French children's comics, Francophone novels, and African popular music, fashion, and dance, Knox traces how the ways colonial 'human zoos' invited their French spectators to gaze on their colonized others still inform the frameworks through which racial and ethnic minorities are made-and make themselves-visible in contemporary France. In addition to analyzing how literature and music depicting immigrants and their descendants in France make race and ethnicity visible, Knox also illustrates how the works she analyzes self-reflexively ask whether they, as commodities sold within wider cultural marketplaces, perpetuate the culture of exoticism they seek to contest. Finally, Knox contends that to take seriously the way the texts interrogate the relationship between power, privilege, and the gaze also requires reconsidering the visions of normalcy from which racial and ethnic minorities supposedly depart. She thus concludes by exposing a critical 'blind spot' in French cultural studies-whiteness-before subjecting it to the same scrutiny France's 'visible minorities' face.

Para além do Atlântico negro de Paul Gilroy, o Atlântico da escravidão, noção abrangente cujas fronteiras vão ao coração dos continentes, ainda que constantemente retrabalhado por subdivisões linguísticas (o Atlântico lusófono, francófono, anglófono...) ou hemisféricas (Atlântico Sul, Norte). Este livro, no entanto, desafia essas fronteiras: surge como uma história cruzada entre o Atlântico Sul e o Atlântico Norte, entre um espaço lusófono e um outro, francófono; entre datas da abolição da escravatura separadas no tempo. Busca definir os vínculos, os efeitos de convergência, bem como as diferenças entre esses mundos. O livro reúne 12 historiadores para pensar as ligações entre escravidão, pós-escravidão, cidadania e subjetividade, entre os séculos XVII e XX, no Atlânticoda Escravidão.

Marginal People in Deviant Places revisits twentieth-century ethnographic studies of deviance, arguing that ethnographies that focus on marginal subcultures--ranging from Los Angeles hoboes to men who have sex with other men in St. Louis bathrooms, to taxi dancers in Chicago, to elderly Jews in Venice, California--produce new ways of thinking about social difference more broadly in the United States. Irvine demonstrates how the social scientists who told the stories of these marginalized groups offered an early challenge to then-dominant narratives of scientific racism and then offers a social history of certain American outsiders and a prehistory of the academic fields of ethnic studies and sexuality studies. Through the stories Irvine recounts in this book, she identifies an American paradox represented in a simultaneous desire for and rejection of outsiders and describes the rise of an outsider capitalism that integrates difference into American society by marketing it. Place plays a crucial role in this work as Irvine examines its role in shaping ethnographies about outsiders and therefore understandings of social difference. Irvine has visited the sites of each of the ethnographies about which she writes, collecting photos, videos, and archival materials that will help readers understand the importance of place in the generation of particular ethnographic stories. The open-access online edition of this book is richly illustrated to help convey the deep sense of emplacement of the ethnographies discussed in this book and includes a series of interviews with sociologists about how they conduct their work and understand their forebears.

Neerslag van een studiedag die in maart 1999 georganiseerd werd door het Universitair Centrum voor Ontwikkelingssamenwerking (UCOS) en het Centrum Leo Apostel (CLEA). Doel: de vaststelling onderzoeken dat communicatieproblemen tussen culturen veelal te maken hebben met het anders denken over en het anders zien en beleven van de realiteit. In die context bogen de auteurs zich over een aantal vragen: Is het "andere" werkelijk zo onoverbrugbaar "anders"? Of is dit slechts een interpretatie? En zijn er in de realiteit niet veel meer gelijkenissen dan we vermoeden? Hebben we niet sedert geruime tijd dezelfde soort basisuitgangspunten als de nieuwste bevindingen in de wetenschappen erbij betrokken worden - bijvoorbeeld in verband met ruimte en tijd? Enerzijds willen de auteurs kennissystemen uit andere culturen "de-exotiseren" via een vergelijking met de nieuwste bevindingen in de wetenschap. Anderzijds zijn ze van mening dat ook de wetenschappen baat kunnen hebben bij een vergelijking met enkele elementen uit de Afrikaanse kennissystemen.
