The Anthropology of History ReassessedThe Popular and the Past in Chinese Indonesian Contexts. E-book. Formato PDF Evamaria Sandkühler - Regiospectra Verlag Berlin, 2020 -
The advent of the Chinese Lunar New Year – Imlek – makes red a dominant colour in the cityscapes of Semarang and Yogyakarta (Java, Indonesia), since decorations and advertisements are adapted to the 'season'. The shopping malls are particularly densely decorated in a shining combination of red and gold. Large numbers of people are attracted by the special Imlek entertainment programmes presented in the malls including lion and dragon dances, Mandarin songs, 'Chinese'-themed dances, martial arts, recitations of Mandarin poems and so forth. The general visual impression is thus completed by a soundscape, and together these carry the spectator away in an encompassing 'Chinese' ambience. The colourful, almost cheerful and widespread display of 'Chineseness' in various public spaces within the Indonesian context, however, contrasts with the image of Chinese Indonesians as an 'ethnic minority' that has been greatly repressed and discriminated against over a long period of time.This book therefore is interested in the intersections and tensions between the notions of 'the popular' and 'the past', embedded in a reassessed theoretical framework labelled 'The Anthropology of History' that has been refined to encompass strongly diverging ways of dealing with the past.
Perceptions of Change in VietnamHuman Environmental Values in a Peri-urban Area of Southeast Vietnam. E-book. Formato PDF Eva Fuhrmann - Regiospectra Verlag Berlin, 2020 -
Since the early 1990s, Vietnam is experiencing rapid economic growth, initiated by the dô?i mo´i reforms. While these policies improved living standards for many people in Vietnam, the economic growth also intensified threats to the natural environment through rising pollution. At the same time, Vietnam faces the adverse effects of phenomena like global climate change.Against this background, Perceptions of Change in Vietnam looks at the cognitive aspects of human-nature relations in Vietnam: What is nature? What kind of changes do people notice in their local natural environment? How do they explain these changes? And where do they see their own responsibilities in this context? Based on fieldwork in a peri-urban hamlet in the Southeast of Vietnam, this qualitative study paints a diverse picture of the perceptions of the local natural environment.
The Liberating Power of Income Generating Activities on Women’s Roles in GhanaMyth or Reality?. E-book. Formato PDF Eva Seraphim Tandoh Quansah - Regiospectra Verlag Berlin, 2020 -
Women empowerment has been a global issue for some time now. The quest to alleviate poverty and raise the status of women in Ghana has led to many interventions from both government and non-governmental organizations. These interventions are mostly economic in nature. Although these economic interventions where women are provided with basic capital to engage in various income generating activities have yielded some positive results, there are still some gender gaps. Women are different and located in different geographical, cultural, social, and economic environments; thus, different women need different interventions. Putting all women under one umbrella and treating them as a homogeneous group does not help in solving women’s problems.This study has explored how women’s income generating activities (dis)enable women’s agency, autonomy, and prompt an overlap in gender roles across urban and rural areas. It has brought out some contestation in gender roles due to a raise in economic status of women in the household, which juxtaposes gender inherited roles.
