This thesis examines the implementation of Creative Europe, the European cultural funding programme that was adopted in 2013 by the European Union (EU). The research reveals the context and what made possible the reform of european policies for culture, showing how this process is inscribed within a long-term metamorphosis of public action in Europe.Scholarly literature focused on recent EU cultural policy reforms often describes a "neoliberal turning point" associated with a "creative turn". The redefinition of european cultural policies in the name of "creativity" is accompanied by a generalisation of project-based funding as well as the introduction of an entrepreneurial lexicon and tools specific to new public management to oversee the process of subsidising culture. However, this work tends to be limited to analysing the policy changes that are generated by these processes from a conceptual, discursive or a strictly formal perspective. On the contrary, our analysis seeks to question the hypothesis of a "turning point" by exploring the practical implictions of these changes. In doing so, the analysis of the reform of european policy makes it possible to identify the concrete processes that are at work in what tends to be discussed as the "neoliberalisation" of public policies.We connect three levels of analysis: the cognitive frameworks that justify a public policy and its reform, the elaboration of the political instruments that give it substance, and the concrete implementation of the latter. Our theoretical framework combines sociology of justification with political sociology of the instruments of public action and management tools, and sociology of translation. Our material is based on an analysis of the academic literature on the "creative turn" and grey literature produced by the european institutions, as well as a series of ethnographic interviews and observations – including several weeks in the context of a contact desk of the Creative Europe programme and many months in a cultural lobbbying ...

Se trata a partir de la antropología feminista de reconstruir con otra mirada la historia a partir de dos momentos de inflexión en los cuales un sistema de principios y valores vitales, sensibles e intuitivos fue reemplazado por otro basado prioritariamente en la razón y la violencia. Escisión que trajo consigo el dominio y sojuzgamiento de la naturaleza, de hombres y pueblos considerados "inferiores" y particularmente de las mujeres, que pasaron a ser tenidas como propiedad privada y excluidas dentro del nuevo orden civilizatorio patriarcal. Sostiene que la expulsión de la mujer de la historia, la religión, las ciencias y las artes, provocó y provoca todavía un trauma social, cultural e individual en la psique de los seres humanos modernos. El artículo permite visualizar los símbolos originarios de un orden matricial latente todavía en el inconciente o imaginario ancestral, y las posibilidades que ofrece como sistema de principios y valores vitales para comprender, explicar y transformar el mundo desde un modelo de sociedad dialéctico, más solidario y creativo.

Seguendo un approccio genealogico e alla luce delle teorie sul multiculturalismo, questo lavoro analizza il museo in quanto istituzione pubblica nazionale, fabbrica di identità, strumento dello Stato-nazione e luogo di esercizio delle politiche di riconoscimento. Oggetto di tale ricerca è il museo di etnografia e delle culture che dagli anni '80 è testimone di numerose critiche e di una crisi di identità, dovuta alla sua eredità coloniale e alla sua missione anacronistica in un contesto postcoloniale e globalizzato. In seguito ai movimenti dei popoli indigeni e allo sviluppo di norme internazionali relative alla diversità culturale e alla restituzione dei beni culturali promosse dalle agenzie delle Nazioni Unite quali l'UNESCO e dalle istituzioni europee, i musei di etnografia sono diventati teatri in cui si negoziano e si costruiscono le identità e in cui si mediano le domande di riconoscimento. Si sono così adottate delle nuove strategie istituzionali per superare il modello etnografico e la chiave di lettura essenziale per interpretare e comprendere questo cambiamento di paradigma è il principio di riconoscimento. Seguendo una prospettiva pluridisciplinare e attraverso casi studio in Europa e negli Stati Uniti, questo lavoro intende costruire un ponte tra la filosofia politica e la museologia. Propone così un'analisi di differenti istituzioni secondo quattro principi di riconoscimento concernenti il caso dei popoli indigeni, il rapporto all'universalismo, la relazione alla storia coloniale e la globalizzazione. ; Through a genealogical approach and in the context of theories on multiculturalism, this work intends to analyse museums as public institutions, builders of identity, nation-state instruments and venues for the exercise of politics of recognition. The following research focuses on ethnographic and cultural museums, which have subject to criticism since the 1980's due to their colonial legacy and anachronic mission in today's global and post-colonial world. Thanks to indigenous people movements and the development by European institutions and UN agencies such as UNESCO of international norms on cultural diversity and return of cultural property, museums have turned into theatres where indentities are built and claims for recognition are negotiated. As a result, new institutional strategies have been adopted in order to go beyond the ethnographic approach. The principle of recognition is key to understand this paradigm shift. Following a pluridisciplinary approach and through case studies in Europe and in the United States, this work aims at building a bridge between political philosophy and museum studies. It proposes an analysis of various institutions based on four principles of recognition in relation to indigeneous peoples, universalism, colonial history and globalisation. ; À partir d'une approche généalogique et à la lumière des théories sur le multiculturalisme, ce travail analyse le musée en tant qu'institution publique nationale, fabrique d'identités, instrument de l'État-nation et lieu d'exercice des politiques de reconnaissance. L'objet de cette recherche est le musée d'ethnographie et des cultures qui depuis les années '80 a été témoin de nombreuses critiques et d'une crise d'identité, du fait notamment de son héritage colonial et de sa mission anachronique dans le contexte du monde postcolonial et globalisé d'aujourd'hui. Suite aux mouvements des peuples autochtones et au développement des normes internationales relatives à la diversité culturelle et au retour des biens culturels promues par différentes agences des Nations Unies comme l'UNESCO ainsi que par les institutions européennes, les musées d'ethnographie sont devenus des théâtres où se négocient et se construisent des identités et où s'arbitrent les demandes de reconnaissance. De nouvelles stratégies institutionnelles ont ainsi été adoptées afin de dépasser le modèle ethnographique. Le principe de reconnaissance est notamment une clé de lecture essentielle pour interpréter et comprendre ce changement de paradigme. En suivant une perspective pluridisciplinaire et à travers des études de cas en Europe et aux États-Unis, ce travail vise à établir une passerelle entre la philosophie politique et la muséologie. Il propose ainsi une analyse de différentes institutions selon quatre principes de reconnaissance concernant le cas des peuples autochtones, le rapport à l'universalisme, la relation à l'histoire coloniale et la globalisation.

Carbon matters. And it is computed. In a culture. Underlying calculations are configured; and they could be configured otherwise. To open a space for conceptual discussion about carbon, this article attempts to reconstruct the extended and distributed practices of knowing carbon emissions with the help of scholarship from the field of Science and Technology Studies (STS) on heterogeneity and qualculation. To that end, the following pages serve to characterise the machinic quality of a specific technology, one which is often construed as a means for reconciling capitalism with "Nature": the corporate social construction and accounting of carbon dioxide emissions. This allows us to problematise and contextualise the distributed and heterogeneous intelligence assembled by human and non-humans to make intelligible their corporation's carbon footprint. Politically, engagement with this kind of intelligence is key to a critical understanding of the limits to managing the environment. By engaging empirically with carbon accounting, this article offers a contribution to the analysis of the hegemonic to dealing with environmental issues (ecological modernisation) and illustrates the generative quality of conceptual work on heterogeneous assemblages. These two fields require brief introductions.

Die Unterscheidung von Forschung über die Bildung und Forschung in der Bildung (STENHOUSE 1981) hat viel zur Entwicklung einer angewandten Praxisforschung in Bildungskontexten beigetragen, wenngleich es immer noch wenige Lehrende an Hochschulen gibt, die ihre eigene Praxis aktiv erforschen. Noch seltener sind hier Praktikerinnen und Praktiker, die persönliche und professionelle Wechselwirkungen kultureller Vielfalt im Hochschulalltag kritisch reflektieren (BRUNNER 2006), wenngleich die "internationalen Studierenden" den wechselseitigen Dialog zwischen dem lokalen Hochschulpersonal und den Studierenden unter Anerkennung der verschiedenen Realitäten und Wissensformen seit Langem einfordern (KOEHNE 2006).
In diesem Beitrag erläutere ich, wie das Paradigma der Narrationsforschung mich im Rahmen meiner eigenen Promotionsforschung mit post-graduierten Studierenden aus vielen Kulturen im britischen Hochschulsystem bei der Erkundung unterschiedlicher Realitäten und Wissensdeutungen über Lernen und Lehren angeleitet und zugleich herausgefordert hat. Ich werde aufzeigen, dass Praxisforschung ein iterativer Prozess ist, in dem Forschung und Praxis unauflöslich miteinander verbunden sind. Durch die autoethnografische Exploration meiner eigenen Praxis bemühe ich mich, meine "subject positions, social locations, interpretations, and personal experiences" fortlaufend durch das "refracted medium of narrators' voices" (CHASE 2005, S.666) zu erkunden. Einige exemplarische Einblicke dazu werden im Zuge dieses Beitrags näher dargestellt.

Der Beitrag befasst sich mit einer Form der Marktforschung, die sich Methoden der Beobachtung und Alltagsforschung, wie sie aus Ethnologie und qualitativer Sozialforschung bekannt sind, zunutze macht. Bei der ethnografischen Marktforschung geht es um das Verständnis des realen Konsumentenalltags und der ihm inhärenten Logiken. Dies umfasst sowohl die Frage, wie Menschen mit Produkten und Dienstleistungen interagieren, als auch die Freilegung der Alltagsroutinen, Wissensstrukturen und Relevanzmuster, die ihrem Alltagshandeln zugrunde liegen. Dokumentarische Videoaufzeichnungen spielen dabei in enger Verzahnung mit ethnographischen Methodensettings eine immer bedeutendere Rolle. Vor diesem Hintergrund beleuchtet der Beitrag zum einen die Gründe für die Popularität dieser Methoden, da dies die Grundlage ist, um ihren potenziellen Nutzen und ihre Einsatzmöglichkeiten zu beurteilen. Zum anderen wird ein systematischer Überblick über die Methoden, die in der ethnographischen und video-gestützten Marktforschung zum Einsatz kommen, gegeben. Neben der Analyse ihrer jeweiligen Einsatzfelder werden die damit verbundenen forschungspraktischen Implikationen diskutiert, um abschließend ihren Nutzen und ihre Grenzen vor dem Hintergrund kommerzieller Forschungslogiken darzustellen.

In ethnomethodologischen Untersuchungen erhält die Spannung zwischen Subjektivität und Objektivität, die der gesamten qualitativen Sozialforschung inhärent ist, spezielle Bedeutungen. Tatsächlich werden diese Begriffe in ethnomethodologischen Forschungsberichten oder in methodologischen Schriften selten verwendet: Zu einem großen Teil wird vorausgesetzt und häufig explizit anerkannt, dass Ethnomethodolog(inn)en die Praktiken, die sie untersuchen, "verstehen" müssen, bevor sie sie analysieren können, und dass dieses "Verstehen" die Forschenden selbst involviert, indem sie ihr "Mitgliederwissen" benutzen. In gewisser Weise wird der nicht zu vermeidende Gebrauch dieses Mitgliederwissens für das Verstehen dessen, was andere tun, dann von einer impliziten Ressource zu einem expliziten Thema der Analyse. Dies kann illustriert werden anhand der Betrachtung zweier Forschungsstrategien, durch die die Ethnomethodologie (unrühmlich) bekannt wurde: die "breaching experiments", die von ihrem Begründer Harold GARFINKEL initiiert wurden, und die Verwendung von Aufzeichnungen und Transkriptionen verbaler Interaktionen durch den erfolgreichsten Ableger der Ethnomethodologie, die Konversationsanalyse, wie sie von Harvey SACKS angestoßen wurde. Spielarten einer dritten Strategie, der Ethnografie, beinhalten die Ethnografie spezifischer (sub-) kultureller Praktiken, die Ethnografie der Technologienutzung, und die Auto-Ethnografie werden ebenfalls hinsichtlich der Behandlung des Mitgliederwissens als Ressource und Thema diskutiert.

"The research project 'The Internet as a space for interaction', which completed its mission
in Autumn 1998, studied the constitutive features of network culture and network
organisation. Special emphasis was given to the dynamic interplay of technical and social
conventions regarding both the net's organisation as well as its change. The ethnographic
perspective chosen studied the Internet from the inside. Research concentrated upon three
fields of study: the hegemonial operating technology of net nodes (UNIX) the network's
basic transmission technology (the Internet Protocol IP) and a popular communication
service (Usenet). The project's final report includes the results of the three branches explored. Drawing upon the development in the three fields it is shown that changes that come about on the Net are neither anarchic nor arbitrary. Instead, the decentrally organised Internet is based upon
technically and organisationally distributed forms of coordination within which individual
preferences collectively attain the power of developing into definitive standards." (author's abstract)

Dargestellt wird die Konzeption einer um ethnographische Vorgehensweisen erweiterten Konversationsanalyse. Sie soll zum einen den methodisch kontrollierten Zugang zu "inhaltlicheren" Aspekten natürlicher Alltagsgespräche eröffnen. Zum anderen soll sie die Grundlage für die Konzeption der Konversationsanalyse als einer allgemeinen Methodologie zur Untersuchung sprachlicher Phänomene legen. In gegenstandsbezogener Hinsicht wird der methodische Ansatz umgesetzt in Untersuchungen zur Konstitution der Semantik von Wörtern im Gespräch, zum Argumentieren in konfliktären Interaktionssituationen und zur Gruppenkonstitution und sozialen Kategorisierung in verbalen Interaktionen zwischen Jugendlichen.

This open access book provides insight into the domestic space of people with an immigrant or refugee background. It selects and compares a whole spectrum of dwelling conditions with ethnographic material covering a variety of national backgrounds – Latin America, North and West Africa, Eastern Europe, South Asia – and an equally broad range of housing, household and legal arrangements. It provides a fine-grained understanding of migrants' lived experience of their domestic space and shows the critical significance of the lived space of a house as a microcosm of societal constellations of identities, values and inequalities. The book enhances the connection between migration studies and research into housing, social reproduction, domesticity and material culture and provides an interesting read to scholars in migration studies, policy makers and practitioners with a remit in local housing and integration policies. "This wonderful edited collection extends our understanding of migration not only into the confines of the domestic space but also into the territory of the ethnographer. What does it mean to be a guest in a migrant home? This collection of chapters traverses this question in diverse settings and circumstances of homemaking […]. Boccagni and Bonfanti have skilfully created an intricate lace of ethnographic accounts that provides a nuanced understanding of the built environments where migrants live, how they relate to their homes and how this is articulated in their attitudes toward majority society. The chapters, each on its own and together as a collection, advance our understanding of the researcher being a guest in the migrant home, just like the migrant being a guest in the host country. This complexity of ethnography and positionality makes this edited book an essential reading for migration scholars and ethnographers alike!" Iris Levin, Lecturer in Urban Studies, RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia "This book demonstrates how ethnographies of home and dwelling can bear on the study of migration and its manifestation in domestic space. Entering someone's home as a researcher challenges our ethical registers: the researcher moves between being a stranger and a guest. The authors point to the dilemmas researchers encounter in intimate settings and how they might be resolved. A valuable and timely book for researchers on dwelling, home and movement." Cathrine Brun, Professor of Human Geography, Centre for Lebanese Studies, Oxford, UK "This excellent collection delves into the relationship between migration, domesticity, and material culture. It is ethnographically rich and impressively varied in its geographical scope, with insights that will prove extremely useful to scholars and practitioners alike. The great strength of the volume lies in the fascinating diversity, granular detail and methodological care of the contributions, with authors deploying concepts and arguments that prepare a great deal of fertile ground for future work." Tom Scott-Smith, Associate Professor of Refugee Studies and Forced Migration, University of Oxford "This insightful collection departs from the simple yet significant question of roles: What happens when the researcher/participant relationship, becomes guest/host instead? By seeing and interpreting domestic spaces as ethnographic field sites, the contributions shed light on refugees' and other migrants' lived experiences of home and housing. Drawing on empirical evidence from diverse types of homes, across geographic locations, Migration and domestic space: Ethnographies of home in the making offers valuable and fresh perspective, encouraging new connections between material and emotional, public and private, in migration research."

The relatively frequent occurrence of rapid onset and very brief, but often florid, psychotic states, with periodic recurrence, alongside relatively low rates of PTSD and chronic psychosis, were unexpected findings from the 2004 East Timor Mental Health Study, conducted in the context of the country's recently won independence and in the wake of the atrocities endured in the protracted fight for sovereignty. Further unanticipated was the frequent association of recurrence with the time of the new moon (fulan lotuk) and other times or places of sacred (lulik) or associated cultural significance. The perceived violation of culturally sacrosanct lulikobligations often also appeared to foreshadow the initial onset of such patterns of distress. Significant episodes of trauma and loss appeared a hidden feature of affected individuals histories, which we argue have become symbolically entwined with local cultural understandings of ritual obligation, sacredness, and taboo.-ansi-language:EN-GB;mso-fareast-language: EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA;mso-bidi-font-style:italic'> This volume develops a dynamic but contextualized multi-level formulation of psychosis and psychotic-symptoms, able to incorporate a range of factors from the biological, through the sociocultural, to the political. The work is truly interdisciplinary drawing on both the quantitative and qualitative findings of our own study but further supported through local ethnography and broader anthropological enquiry into the outcomes of psychosis in non-Western settings; psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic anthropology; evidence and theory exploring links between trauma, dissociation and psychosis; and novel culturally-adaptable psychosocial focused interventions for psychosis. We situate both evidence and theorising in wider epistemological and political context, including in relation to the movement for Global Mental Health. Culturally patterned presentations of brief remitting-relapsing psychosis are ultimately conceived as the trade-off between competing fragmentary and synthetic forces: the former in part secondary to the lasting and deleterious effects of overwhelming loss, trauma and adversity; the latter emboldened by cultural meaning and social response in the context of broad ecological pressures demanding survival and resilience.

He holds an additional degree in Medical Anthropology and has undertaken postgraduate training in Systemic Practice. His principle clinical and research interest is the developmental, social and cultural aspects of psychotic phenomena and related implications for intervention. He undertook the key fieldwork forming the basis of this work in 2004, in the context of an 18-month mental health research program in Timor-Leste. In addition Dr Rodger has provided expert evidence relating to transcultural trauma-related psychiatric presentations for both asylum and criminal cases. Previous publications relate to the wider epidemiological research findings and implications from Timor-Leste, to critical-relational challenges to psychiatric practice, and to the anthropology of altered mental states.

Dr Steel has developed a program of mental health research across culturally diverse communities and settings with a particular focus on traumatic stress, forced displacement, conflict and culturally specific symptoms of mental disorder and distress. Within the Asia-Pacific region he is involved in collaborative mental health research programs in Vietnam, Aceh-Indonesia, and Timor-Leste as well as with asylum seeker and refugee communities in Australia and amongst Aboriginal communities in Far West New South Wales. His research with asylum seeker populations in Australia has helped to develop an evidence base on the adverse mental health consequences of harsh asylum policies including the use of immigration detention and temporary protection visas.
