Brown B.: Phil Issues in Psychology

Critical Topics in Contemporary Anthropology

Anthropology and Psychology

Law, Science and Society

In the post-9/11 security environment, the use of genetic data has extended shifted from that of evidence to intelligence. Central to this shift, Erin Kruger argues here, has been a radical reconfiguration of genetic imaging systems. And it is in the context of this shift that she analyses the role of the image in determining the scientific validity - and with it the legitimacy - of genetic data. How, she asks, is genetic imagery attributed meaning? How does it come to be understood as truthful and trustworthy? Kruger draws upon the insights of recent work in Science and Technology Studies to address these questions in the context of various legal and other institutional agendas, technologies, discourses and controversies.

In the post-9/11 security environment, the use of genetic data has extended beyond the confines of the criminal legal domain and into the realms of national security, defense, immigration, humanitarian, army and military operations. As such, the function of genetic data has shifted from that of evidence to intelligence. Central to this shift, Erin Kruger argues here, has been a radical reconfiguration of genetic imaging systems. And it is in the context of this shift that she analyses the role of the image in determining the scientific validity – and with it the legitimacy – of genetic data. How, she asks, is genetic imagery attributed meaning? How does it come to be understood as truthful and trustworthy? Kruger draws upon the insights of recent work in Science and Technology Studies to address these questions in the context of various legal and other institutional agendas, technologies, discourses and controversies. In so doing – and in contrast to public discourses that unproblematically parade the benefits of technological innovations – she demonstrates both the complexity and the contingency of scientific presentations of truth.

The Forensic Image: Scientific Visualization and DNA

Routledge Contemporary Africa

Rebecca Upton closely examines how women in a rural part of southern Africa give voice to contemporary issues of environment, health, economic disparity and the impact of migration on everyday lives through production of baskets for a global marketplace. These objects and cultural artifacts are both an insight into Tswana culture as well as a new means through which women produce, tell and re--¿tell narratives of cultural and global, financial success and resistance.

As globalization has shifted the market in tourism--‐dependent Botswana, women who are responsible for the production of baskets have entered a new and expanded market economy where locally made baskets carry Tswana symbols and meanings into international contexts and construct and contest the idea of sustainability and gender ideology. These objects and cultural artifacts are both an insight into Tswana culture as well as a new means through which women produce, tell and re--‐tell narratives of cultural and global, financial success and resistance. In this book, Rebecca Upton closely examines how women in a rural part of southern Africa give voice to contemporary issues of environment, health, economic disparity and the impact of migration on everyday lives. The ‘traditional’ Tswana patterns, tears of the giraffe and knees of the tortoise, have long been used by women to convey particular messages about ethnic group affiliation, meaningful cultural origin stories and cautionary morality tales. Today, these same patterns have come to take on additional meanings as a result of local interpretation of global impact on Tswana communities. Emphasizing the role that African material culture plays in mediating between social worlds, this book will be of interested to those who research in the fields of African art and anthropology, economics, gender and sustainability. .

Economics as Social Theory

Amartya Sen - who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Economic Science in 2003 - is one of the leading economists of his generation. The important new book provides an exposition and assessment of Amartya Sen's socio-economics, both positive and especially normative, including his contributions to welfare economics, ethics and the theory-and-policy approach of 'human development'. The exposition and assessment will include discussion of the historical and intellectual contexts. The book also analyzes Sen's contributions to philosophy, the second field in which Sen has published and held appointments.

@text Amartya Sen - who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Economic Science in 2003 - is one of the leading economists of his generation. He is best known for his deep critique of the liberal and utilitarian inheritances in economics, including the treatment (or neglect) of values and value-judging in public contexts; and his construction of a partial alternative, including entitlements analysis, the capabilities approach and, extending from those two, an integrative development philosophy centered on the direct and instrumental values of freedom and democracy.

What role do subcultures play in the radicalisation of Islamist, right-wing and left-wing groups? How are the norms of subcultures adopted by radicalised individuals and reflected in their lifestyle, identity and choices? Violent radicalisation is often portrayed as a deviant behaviour resulting from social and political dissociation. At the same time Islamist, right-wing and left-wing terrorist groups have all found sections of the population to sympathise with their aims and provide them with moral and logistical support. Through comprehensive systematic research, rigorous analysis of the empirical data and a range of interviews with active and former radicals Daniela Pisoiu construct a theoretical framework to explain the transition to radicalisation and political violence in Germany. Her conclusions provide us with a wider understanding of the role of subcultures in violent radicalisation and demonstrates that, far from a marginal and abnormal phenomenon, this radicalisation is a matter of traceable long term and holistic socialisation.

Ethnographic Methods has been a popular book with students and researchers. This new edition retains much of the quality of earlier ones with more detailed examples of methods in practice, and better coverage of digital, virtual and visual approaches. Ethnography is presented here as a reflexive, responsible, and relevant methodology.

Anthropological Studies of Creativity and Perception

With growing popular and academic interest in the development and importance of three-dimensional modelling and technologies across a range of practices, this book advances analyses of three-dimensional models from perspectives in anthropology, anatomy, architecture and history, examining the ways in which models shape perceptions of bodies, buildings and histories. Focusing on models in practice - that is, on how they have been made, used and interpreted over time in social and cultural contexts - 3D Modelling: Bodies and Buildings in Anthropology, Anatomy and Architecture, explores the importance of models in the constitution and communication of knowledge. With attention to the multiple and changing ways in which models are created and employed, the material dimensions of models and their implications, the kinds of knowledge generated by models in action and the social relations formed through model making and use, this volume engages with current debates concerning material culture, knowledge production and creativity. Presenting detailed empirical case studies from across a range of disciplines, it addresses key questions surrounding the reasons for which models take particular forms, the effects of their material and visual qualities in relation to bodily action and the senses, and the ways in which they carry or disrupt cultural values and ideals. As such, it will appeal to scholars across the social sciences and humanities with interests in in the connections between knowledge, practice and perception.
