Plaidant pour une approche interdisciplinaire et transnationale de l'anthropologie incluant entre autres sciences, philosophie et histoire, Christoph Wulf étudie toutes les façons dont l'anthropologie a été comprise et pratiquée tout autour du monde et à travers les âges.Pour se positionner de façon centrale au sein des différentes approches de la discipline, il choisit de se concentrer sur le corps humain. Symbole de la société, de la culture et de l'époque, le corps est également le résultat d'une série de processus mimétiques - acquisition active de savoirs culturels. L'étude du rôle du corps dans l'exécution des rituels, des gestes, des actes de langage comme d'imagination lui permet d'éclairer de façon nouvelle la manière dont la culture est produite, transmise et transformée.Ce tableau complet de la discipline dans son ensemble permet de sonder le mystère de l'humanité et les voies empruntées pour tenter de le percer.
Dans le contexte de la présente mondialisation, les cultures prétendent être les seules formes de vie justifiables. Mais la guerre pour les divers monopoles culturels réactive les fondamentalismes de toutes les religions et transforme les cultures en pouvoirs. L'objet de cet ouvrage est de reconsidérer les relations entre mondialisation, communautés et individus en situant les unes par rapport aux autres les cultures et les valeurs authentiques sur lesquelles elles sont fondées.
This Handbook is a collection of contributions of more than 300 researchers who have worked to grasp the Anthropocene, this new geological epoch characterised by a modification of the conditions of habitability of the Earth for all living things, in its biogeophysical and socio-political reality. These researchers also sought to define a historical and prospective anthropology that integrates social, economic, cultural and political issues as well as, of course, environmental ones. What are the anthropological changes needed to ensure that our human adventure will be able to continue in the Anthropocene? And what are the educational and political issues involved?Anthropocene is fast becoming a widely-used term, but thus far, there been no reference work explaining the thoughts of the greatest experts of the present day on this subject (at the intersection of biogeophysical and socio-political knowledge). A scientific and political concept (but which is also theconceptual vehicle for conveying the scientific community's sense of concern), this complex term is explained by international experts as they reflect on scientific arguments taking place in earth system science, the social sciences and the humanities. What these researchers from different disciplines have in common is a healthy concern for the future and how to prepare for it in the Anthropocene and also the identification of possible anthropological changes. This Handbook encourages readers to immerse themselves in reflections on the human adventure through descriptions of our differing heritages and the future that is in the process of being written.
This open access handbook is the first to take stock of and to provide a comprehensive international interdisciplinary review of developments in living culture since the Convention on Safeguarding Intangible Cultural Heritage began in 2003. It is based on an expanded concept of culture, as it has been used in UNESCO since the 1980s and signed by more than 180 countries. The convention makes clear the significant role of the Global South in raising planetary awareness of the importance of intangible cultural practices.
The first part of the book examines the relationship between the 1972 World Heritage Convention and the 2003 Convention on Intangible Cultural Heritage. The second part of the book focuses on colonialism, minorities, inequality, and the struggle for human rights. Perspectives from Nigeria, Brazil and the US show how colonialism still has a lasting effect today and what role the practices of intangible cultural heritage play in the struggles for the recognition of minorities. The third part looks at the contribution of intangible cultural heritage practices to the creation of meaning, community, and identity. How are these practices designed so that they allow as much participation as possible and lead to a successful handling of conflicts? The focus is on bottom-up processes. Part four examines several areas of aesthetics including music, dance, song, museum, architecture, and theater showing the importance of the aesthetic dimension and its contribution to the formation of individuals and communities. The fifth and final part of the book examines central problems of living culture and intangible cultural practices. This includes articles on new forms of community building, significance of digital and post-digital culture and metaphors. In the coming decades, intangible cultural heritage practices will become increasingly important for sustainable and peaceful planetary communication, to which the balance of this book and the perspectives based on it will make a significant contribution.
En choisissant d'encourager la compréhension entre l'Europe et les pays marqués par l'empreinte de l'Islam, les auteurs de cet ouvrage se fixent pour tâche de soumettre à un examen critique les généralisations et points de vue simplificateurs. Un dialogue interculturel exige que les uns et les autres sachent les modifier grâce à l'apport de connaissances nouvelles et les reformuler en développant des perspectives susceptibles de faire avancer la question.
L'ouvrage témoigne de l'actualité de la question européenne à un moment où la jeune génération et son éducation sont à la fois enjeux et acteurs de nouvelles formes culturelles hybrides. Sont ici analysées par des universitaires allemands et français des thèmes multiples : l'enfance et la génération, biographie et "gender", où l'on voit que la relation entre les générations est un facteur constitutif de l'éducation et de la formation, de même que la relation entre les sexes. L'ouvrage aborde également les répercussions fondamentales des nouveaux médias, des nouvelles technologies.
Cet ouvrage rassemble les contributions de neuf universitaires allemands qui ont cherché à comprendre les mécanismes et la portée sociale des rituels. Partant du constat que les rituels vont de pair avec des relations de pouvoir et qu'ils participent de la genèse, de la continuation ou de la transformation des communautés, les auteurs décrivent méticuleusement ces mises en scène dans lesquelles surgit une expérience de la différence. Les rituels structurent en permanence la réalité sociale, dont ils peuvent transformer l'ordre et les hiérarchies.
L'anthropologie historique et culturelle considère que le social se construit au cours de processus interactionnels entre les rituels, la mimésis sociale et la performativité. Les rituels orchestrent les rythmes de notre vie (familiale, personnelle, professionnelle), et si les grands rituels disparaissent, d'autres plus intimes sont inventés. Les rituels - anciens et inventés - permettent de " faire ensemble société ", et ils se transmettent par mimésis sociale. La performativité est l'activité de re-création personnelle et culturelle des rituels dans une mise en scène corporelle et identitaire. L'anthropologie historique et culturelle ouvre une réflexion interculturelle sur l'importance du corps - zone encore peu explorée - dans les constructions sociales. Cet ouvrage propose à la fois une réflexion théorique et une illustration de ses thèses, qui intéresseront le travailleur social, l'éducateur, l'enseignant, mais aussi, parce qu'écrit dans une langue claire, l'Homme du XXIe siècle désireux de " décoder " son époque.
This handbook provides an important overview of corporeality, embodiment and learning in education from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. Situating the body at the centre of educational practice, the editors and contributors introduce the concept of `tact' as a practical corporeal language. The chapters provide a spectrum of historical, conceptual, empirical and practical educational approaches for embodied pedagogical engagement. Tact and embodied knowledge form a significant component of a teacher's capability and professionalism: interacting with students, a pedagogue responds to them tactfully, emotionally, sensitively, and reflectively searching for the right thing to do, the right words to say, improvising in aural, linguistic, spatial, and visual way that are as restrained as they are enabled by the body. This handbook questions the familiar and established essentialist and naturalist view of the body to allow new perspectives on how corporeality affects learners.It will be of interest to scholars in education and philosophy as well as those researching in across social sciences.
Der Mensch bildet das Maß der Pädagogik. Denn Erziehung, Bildung und Sozialisation basieren auf expliziten und impliziten Annahmen über den Menschen. Diese ermglichen pädagogische Deutungen, Orientierungen und Legitimationen. Insofern ist die Frage nach dem Menschen für die Pädagogik zu allen Zeiten relevant. Mit ihr kommt in den pädagogischen Blick, was für den Menschen mglich und was für ihn notwendig ist. In einer durch Homogenisierung und kulturelle Diversität bestimmten globalisierten Welt verändern sich diese Menschenbilder grundlegend. Die Bedeutung dieser Veränderungen im Hinblick auf pädagogische Sachverhalte zu erforschen, ist eine zentrale Aufgabe Pädagogischer Anthropologie und der in ihrem Rahmen entwickelten Zugänge zum Menschen und seinen Beziehungen zur Welt. Das Handbuch Pädagogische Anthropologie zeigt, wie sich das Themenfeld im Dialog mit den Forschungen zur Hominisation, Historischen Anthropologie, Kulturanthropologie, Philosophischer und Ästhetischer Anthropologie entwickelt. Ziel ist es, den Themenkomplex erstmals grundlegend und umfassend zu erschließen.
Das Buch vereinigt die Ergebnisse aktueller theoretischer und empirischer Forschung zur kulturellen Bildung. Untersucht werden zentrale Sparten wie bildende Kunst, Tanz, Musik, Museum und weite Formen kulturellen Engagements sowie unterschiedliche Zielgruppen, wie Schülerinnen und Schüler, Erwachsene, Lehrkräfte und Professionelle aus kunstbezogenen Berufen.
This book articulates an educational theory as well as a political theory of the Anthropocene. Divided into three sections it addresses educational anthropology, cultures and institutions, and educational recommendations in the Anthropocene. Topics covered in the volume measure the impact of the idea of the Anthropocene on the type of anthropology that underlies education and on a phenomenology of relationship. It links the notion of the Anthropocene with cultures and institutions so as not to 'smooth out' or erase the latter. Finally, it presents proposals and recommendations for educational practices.
The work advocates rethinking education as an essential component in ensuring the sustainability of human life in society - by proposing to go beyond the approach of education for sustainable development or environmental education. The work also brings together empirical contributions in which proposals are elaborated for programs, pedagogical devices and experiments relatingto the preparation of the future in the field of education. This volume is of interest to researchers of the Anthropocene.
Historical anthropology is a revision of the German philosophical anthropology under the influences of the French historical school of Annales and the Anglo-Saxon cultural anthropology. Cultural-historical psychology is a school of thought which emerged in the context of the Soviet revolution and deeply affected the disciplines of psychology and education in the 20th century. This book draws on these two schools to advance current scholarship in child and youth development and education. It also enters in dialogue with other relational approaches and suggests alternatives to mainstream western developmental theories and educational practices.This book emphasizes communication and semiotic processes as well as the use of artifacts, pictures and technologies in education and childhood development, placing a special focus on active subjectivity, historicity and performativity. Within this theoretical framework, contributors from Europe and the U.S. highlight the dynamic and creative aspects of school, family and community practices and the dramatic aspects of child development in our changing educational institutions. They also use a series of original empirical studies to introduce different research methodologies and complement theoretical analyses in an attempt to find innovative ways to translate cultural-historical and historical anthropological theory and research into a thorough understanding of emerging phenomena in school and after-school education of ethnic minorities, gender-sensitive education, and educational and family policy. Divided into two main parts, "Culture, History and Child Development", and "Gender, Performativity and Educational Practice", this book is useful for anyone in the fields of cultural-historical research, educational science, educational and developmental psychology, psychological anthropology, and childhood and youth studies.
