Abstract

"This book reveals the roots of interracial conflict between gangs in Los Angeles. The author argues that violence and mistrust between racialized gangs are the result of state and media efforts to popularize racial ideology to serve capitalistic and colonial interests and interrupt class solidarity"--

Abstract

Desde una mirada socioantropológica, esta obra ofrece nuevas herramientas y perspectivas teórico-metodológicas para discutir problemáticas vinculadas a los procesos de organización y subjetivación indígenas, así como para analizar procesos de memorias colectivas en contextos diversos. Se trata de indagaciones que buscan comprender la materialidad del mundo desde las formas de ser, habitar y recordar de grupos subordinados y alterizados, fundamentalmente, de la Patagonia argentina. De este modo, pampas, ceremoniales, cuerpos, volcanes, taperas, plantas medicinales, restos humanos, así como relatos y discursos, son recorridos en estas páginas a partir de diversas memorias para hacer posibles aproximaciones a la producción de disensos ontológicos y a la participación de lo tangible en nuestras formas de ser juntos.

Abstract

"Cartoneras are community-based publishing collectives that make low-cost books out of waste materials in contexts where paperbacks can cost over a month's minimum wage. The first of its kind, Eloísa Cartonera, was born in Buenos Aires in the aftermath of the 2001 economic crisis. As many families lost work, many turned to other ways of supporting their families by picking through trash for objects to recycle, including cardboard. The founding members of Eloísa began to buy cardboard from these cartoneras with the idea of using it to create hand-painted books (typically priced for the middle class and higher in Latin America) at an affordable price. Cartoneras have their own specific aesthetics, much like zines in the US and Europe, while also finding ways to experiment with, and potentially break down, some social markers between and social institutions and systems"--

Abstract

"How do objects mediate human relationships, and possess their own social and political agency? What role does material culture--such as prestige consumption as well as commodity aesthetics, biographies, and ownership histories--play in the production of social and political identities, differences, and hierarchies? How do (informal) consumer subcultures of collectors organize and manage themselves? Drawing on theories from anthropology and sociology, specifically material culture, consumption, museum, ethnicity, and post-socialist studies, Materializing Difference addresses these questions via analysis of the practices and ideologies connected to Gabor Roma beakers and roofed tankards made of antique silver. The consumer subculture organized around these objects--defined as ethnicized and gendered prestige goods by the Gabor Roma living in Romania--is a contemporary, second-hand culture based on patina-oriented consumption. Materializing Difference reveals the inner dynamics of the complex relationships and interactions between objects (silver beakers and roofed tankards) and subjects (Romanian Roma) and investigates how these relationships and interactions contribute to the construction, materialization, and reformulation of social, economic, and political identities, boundaries, and differences. It also discusses how, after 1989, the political transformation in Romania led to the emergence of a new, post-socialist consumer sensitivity among the Gabor Roma, and how this sensitivity reshaped the pre-regime-change patterns, meanings, and value preferences of prestige consumption."--
