L’étude Cultures croisées analyse les références culturelles communes et réciproques − une approche de l’interculturalité − des Allemands, des Italiens et des Français en matière de patrimoine architectural, historique, littéraire, cinématographique, théâtral et lyrique et sur des références ou des figures de la culture populaire. Conduite auprès de 4 500 personnes dans les trois populations, cette enquête, inédite dans son domaine et par son ampleur, cherche à sonder le fondement commun des cultures en Europe, d’une culture européenne ou de l’identité culturelle européenne par la culture. Les résultats confirment la corrélation des connaissances et du niveau d’éducation, mettent en évidence la prégnance des stéréotypes sur les peuples et l’absence d’une véritable culture commune. L’existence de quelques références transnationales massivement partagées montre néanmoins que l’interculturalité, qui suppose la connaissance des autres peuples, n'est pas hors de portée. L’étude invite à repenser objectifs, méthodes et outils de l’interculturalité européenne. Mit einem Ansatz der Interkulturalität analysiert die Studie Kreuzung der Kulturen die gemeinsamen und gegenseitigen kulturellen Referenzen der Deutschen, Italiener und Franzosen in Bezug auf das architektonische, historische, literarische, lyrische, Film- und Theatererbe sowie Referenzen oder Persönlichkeiten der Volkskul- tur. Im Rahmen dieser Studie wurden in den drei Ländern 4.500 Personen befragt. Die aufgrund ihres Themas und Umfangs einmalige Studie will das gemeinsame Fundament der Kulturen in Europa, einer europäischen Kultur oder der kulturellen europäischen Identität durch die Kultur erforschen. Die Ergebnisse bestätigen den engen Zusammenhang zwischen Kenntnis und Bildungsniveau, sie heben die Prägnanz von Stereotypen auf die Völker hervor und dass es keine wirklich gemeinsame Kultur gibt. Aber das Bestehen einiger weit verbreiteter transnationaler Referenzen belegt, dass die Interkulturalität, die…

Lo studio Incrocio di culture analizza le differenze culturali comuni e reciproche − un approccio all’inter- culturalità − di tedeschi, italiani e francesi in materia di patrimonio architettonico, storico, letterario, cinemato- grafico, teatrale e lirico e sui riferimenti o le figure della cultura popolare. L’inchiesta è stata condotta su 4.500 persone appartenenti alle tre popolazioni: si tratta di un’iniziativa inedita nel proprio ambito e per portata, che mira a sondare il fondamento comune delle culture in Europa, di una cultura europea o dell’identità culturale europea mediante la cultura. I risultati confermano la correlazione delle conoscenze e del livello di istruzione, mettono in evidenza la pregnanza degli stereotipi sui popoli e l’assenza di una vera e propria cultura comune. L’esistenza di alcuni riferimenti transnazionali fortemente condivisi mostra tuttavia che l’interculturalità, che suppone la conoscenza degli altri popoli, non è irraggiungibile. Lo studio invita pertanto a ripensare gli obiet- tivi, i metodi e gli strumenti dell’interculturalità europea. Mit einem Ansatz der Interkulturalität analysiert die Studie Kreuzung der Kulturen die gemeinsamen und gegenseitigen kulturellen Referenzen der Deutschen, Italiener und Franzosen in Bezug auf das architektonische, historische, literarische, lyrische, Film- und Theatererbe sowie Referenzen oder Persönlichkeiten der Volkskultur.

Adding her stimulating and finely framed ethnography to recent work in the anthropology of the senses, Kathryn Geurts investigates the cultural meaning system and resulting sensorium of Anlo-Ewe-speaking people in southeastern Ghana. Geurts discovered that the five-senses model has little relevance in Anlo culture, where balance is a sense, and balancing (in a physical and psychological sense as well as in literal and metaphorical ways) is an essential component of what it means to be human. Much of perception falls into an Anlo category of seselelame (literally feel-feel-at-flesh-inside), in which what might be considered sensory input, including the Western sixth-sense notion of "intuition," comes from bodily feeling and the interior milieu. The kind of mind-body dichotomy that pervades Western European-Anglo American cultural traditions and philosophical thought is absent. Geurts relates how Anlo society privileges and elaborates what we would call kinesthesia, which most Americans would not even identify as a sense. After this nuanced exploration of an Anlo-Ewe theory of inner states and their way of delineating external experience, readers will never again take for granted the "naturalness" of sight, touch, taste, hearing, and smell.

How educated and culturally savvy young people are transforming traditionally low-status manual labor jobs into elite taste-making occupationsIn today's new economy-in which "good" jobs are typically knowledge or technology based-many well-educated and culturally savvy young men are instead choosing to pursue traditionally low-status manual labor occupations as careers. Masters of Craft looks at the renaissance of four such trades: bartending, distilling, barbering, and butchering.In this in-depth and engaging book, Richard Ocejo takes you into the lives and workplaces of these people to examine how they are transforming these once-undesirable jobs into "cool" and highly specialized upscale occupational niches-and in the process complicating our notions about upward and downward mobility through work. He shows how they find meaning in these jobs by enacting a set of "cultural repertoires," which include technical skills based on a renewed sense of craft and craftsmanship and an ability to understand and communicate that knowledge to others, resulting in a new form of elite taste-making. Ocejo describes the paths people take to these jobs, how they learn their chosen trades, how they imbue their work practices with craftsmanship, and how they teach a sense of taste to their consumers.Focusing on cocktail bartenders, craft distillers, upscale men's barbers, and whole-animal butcher shop workers in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and upstate New York, Masters of Craft provides new insights into the stratification of taste, gentrification, and the evolving labor market in today's postindustrial city.
