Nouvelles données chronologiques, biologiques et alimentaires sur l'enfant Mésolithique de Verberie - Le Buisson Campin (Oise) by Françoise Audouze, Dorothée G. Drucker, Frédérique Valentin

Le corps et la corde by Olivia Kindl

“…The transformation of bodies is therefore made possible by concrete ritual processes that use of ropes, causing transformations in social status, alterations in perspective and changes of scale—so many aspects that lead to more general anthropological questions concerning the ritual memory of bodies in movement and a certain ritualized praxis of bodies.…”

La formazione musicale storico-culturale nell’infanzia by Carla Cuomo, Nicola Badolato

“…The second part establishes a link between this specific training and the didactics of listening, looking in particular at the possibility of combining the study and analysis of the formal and narrative musical structures in a piece of art music with the improvement of the perception of the ‘before-now-after’ timeline, a concept that underlies the work of teachers in the historical-anthropological field, especially in primary schools.…”

Traiettorie del filologicamente corretto. Il campo del folklore nell’operato di un maestro contemporaneo delle danze sarde by Alessandro Deiana

“…This article aims to show some little explored articulations of the philologically correct category in the anthropological field. The thesis that we intend to demonstrate is that the philologically correct is not only a critical tool at the service of institutional and cultured vision, or a rhetorical tool at the disposal of heritage policies: it can also be used from below for the purpose of a local micro-counter-hegemony. …”

Looking back at the parcoursArianna in the Val d'Anniviers by Thierry Amrein

“…The afore-mentioned objectives should have been attained thanks to the creation and deployment of an original “specifically feminine” micro-entrepreneurship within a local economic fabric essentially turned towards tourism.Starting from the results of a long-lasting anthropological field in the framework of this course of training, which also highlights the growing diversity of the populations in the Swiss alpine valleys, I question the fact that the initiators of this type of project implicitly make the women alone bear the responsibility and the charge of the new social dynamics which they attempt to initiate, without seriously taking into account the local norms of the sexual division of the tasks within the domestic sphere.…”

Le paysage et l’artifice en géographie by Dylan Simon

“…The article examines the different uses of this founding geographer’s notion of the landscape: perceived first of all as the physiognomy of a relationship between (material) civilisation and a “natural” milieu, it is then defined by a more anthropological approach, which to a certain degree dissolves the specificity of the notion. …”

Construction géopolitique pour le développement durable d'une enclave métropolitaine du MERCOSUR by Diana Arellano, Carla Cossi

“…The work proposes a diachronic analysis of the advances and setbacks in the geopolitical construction of the Binational Metropolitan Area, which makes up the cities of Posadas, Garupá and Candelaria (belonging to the province of Misiones, in Argentina) and Encarnación, Cambyretá and San Juan del Paraná (belonging to the Itapúa department, in Paraguay) as a subnational cross-border urban enclave of Mercosur. From an anthropological perspective, we seek to advance a characterization of the explanations that support the persistent vocation for integration in this metaphorically kaleidoscopic territoriality; understanding the particular reality of these border cities, which due to their geographical and urban contiguity were grouped into a study unit, which combines multiple local practices, which mix, overlap, oppose, contradict and exclude each other, beyond the state political limits that divide them. …”

Does Sense of Place Still Exist? by Helena Ruotsala

“…Researches are now paying more attention to the changed nature of the concept, e.g. for the multivocality of places. The anthropological literature on space and place forms my theoretical framework, with which I study some empiric cases from my familiar environment, from Finnish Lapland and from Kola Peninsula. …”
