权力人类学介绍了来自广泛社会的案例研究,以研究围绕权力和赋权的问题,并质疑权力是否实际上正在转移到无权者手中。该系列借鉴了来自欧洲,中东,澳大拉西亚,非洲和美洲的民族志材料,探索传统上被剥夺权力的群体如何在后殖民和多元文化环境中获得影响力,从内战到新的通信技术,从宗教帝国主义到跨国矿业投资。报告调查了增强权能与经济发展、性别和环境保护之间的关系。贡献者面对后福柯的理论问题的性质,分配和权力的平衡,并询问是否修辞的“赋权”实际上掩盖了缺乏变化的既定权力关系。这是一个范围广泛的国际收藏,贡献者来自英国、葡萄牙、冰岛、捷克共和国、南非、津巴布韦、加拿大、新西兰和巴布亚新几内亚。
The Anthropology of Power presents case studies from a wide range of societies to examine the issues surrounding power and empowerment and to question whether power is actually being transferred to the powerless. This collection draws on ethnographic material from Europe, the Middle East, Australasia, Africa and the Americas exploring how traditionally disempowered groups gain influence in postcolonial and multicultural settings, from civil war to new communication technologies, from religious imperialism to transnational mining investments. It surveys the relationships between empowerment and economic development, gender and environmentalism. The contributors confront post-Foucauldian theoretical issues on the nature, distribution and balance of power, and ask whether the rhetoric of "empowerment" actually masks a lack of change in established power relations. This is a wide-ranging international collection featuring contributors from the UK, Portugal, Iceland, the Czech Republic, South Africa,Zimbabwe, Canada, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea.
