But where are “the people”? unfinished agendas in the people of Puerto Rico / Giusti-Cordero, Juan A   Journal Article
Giusti-Cordero, Juan A Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract The People of Puerto Rico is a comprehensive ethnography of major types of rural communities in pre-1950 Puerto Rico but was less successful in reconnecting those localities in a coherent portrayal of the island's social formation. A reexamination of this work's best-known subcultures, Santa Isabel (Sidney Mintz' "Cañamelar") and Ciales (Eric Wolf's "San José"), offers entry points to these communities, as well as to the key concepts that Mintz and Wolf constructed reciprocally through their research: rural proletarian and peasant, plantation and hacienda. Also present are the too-implicit spatial referents of these concepts-lowland and highland, foreland and hinterland-and their associated crop types, sugar and coffee. In this article, the historical space of Santa Isabel and Ciales will be reconsidered, in part with reference to often-overlooked nuances and caveats in Mintz' and Wolf's chapters. Foregrounding the spatial/ecological referent in "Cañamelar" and "San José" opens our sights to counterpoints between sugar and livestock, and to patterns of highland-lowland migration, kin networks, and social interaction. Familiar concepts take on new meanings as we discern supra-municipal, sub-insular, and intermediate island regions and move closer to specifying historical situations (Mintz) while renewing our theorization (Wolf).

Canada-EU Turbot war of 1995 and the cybernetic model of decisi / Howe, Brendan; Kerby, Matthew   Journal Article
Howe, Brendan Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract This paper examines how and why in March 1995 certain elements of the Canadian government decided to take unilateral forceful action against foreign fishing off the Grand Banks and go against a long tradition of cooperation and multilateralism. In particular, it will address to what extent existing models of decision-making (in particular rational and bureaucratic models) adequately explain the process that went on in Ottawa at this time. The findings are that even though the bureaucratic politics model of decision-making can be used in a parliamentary structure like Canada, it is insufficient to explain Canadian decision-making processes during the Turbot War, and thus must be supplemented by a more inclusive cybernetic approach.

Climate Change and Biodiversity Loss : Two Sides of the Same Coin / McElwee, Pamela   Journal Article
McElwee, Pamela Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract While often treated separately, biodiversity loss and climate change are related and mutually reinforcing problems. Rising temperatures and other climate impacts have seriously altered the composition, function, and structure of many ecosystems and species, some irreversibly. Policies to tackle both problems are clearly needed, but siloed approaches continue to dominate proposed solutions. There are also risks that some climate policies, such as the expansion of afforestation or bioenergy, will have increasingly negative risks on biodiversity. Integrated, innovative, and urgent solutions are needed in order to fulfill increasing calls for transformative change in how we live with nature.

Collusion and bickering: landscape, religion and ethnicity in the central Himalayas / Tuladhar-Douglas, Will   Journal Article
Tuladhar-Douglas, Will Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract By considering bickering, gossip and similar artful kinds of talk that reproduce social categories in a central Himalayan town, it is possible to see that participants in such talk collude in constructing a social landscape that grounds the relational distinctions foregrounded in those conversations. Following on from discussions that suggest anthropology of the environment must consider other social relations, here it is proposed that the environment is inescapably part of relational social distinctions. Collusion in the production of such shared landscapes, it is argued, is a key aspect of achieving ordinary life and, in certain contexts, can become the basis for resistance to the imposition of unwanted categorical distinctions.

Crime statistics in a Nigerian traditional city: a geographic analysis / Badiora, Adewumi Israel   Journal Article
Badiora, Adewumi Israel Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The study identified predominant crime type and pattern of crime occurrence in Ile-Ife, Nigeria. The research used crime data, by type and location, from January 2005 to December 2010. The spatial distribution of crime types revealed that 68 cases (49%) of offences against individuals occurred in the core area of the city, 40 (29%) in the transition area and 31 (22%) in the suburban, while 184 (20%), 265 (30%) and 451 cases (50%) of offences against property occurred in the core, transition and suburban respectively. The study concluded that there was notable geographical variation in the pattern of crime locations and that this differs with regard to crime type.
