Uno de los más importantes teóricos de los estudios culturales actuales examina críticamente en este libro el surgimiento, desarrollo y futuro de la indagación de la relación de las audiencias con los medios, uno de los temas más conflictivos de la cultura contemporánea. Su posición, apoyada en importantes trabajos de campo, enfrenta las teorías de los «efectos medibles» o de tiempos cortos, las teorías acotadas a los efectos individuales, para ubicar el estudio de las audiencias en el marco sociocultural, en la relación con el poder, en las luchas por el significado o por la producción de sentido. Los estudios de etnografía de la audiencia que Morley sintetiza en este libro se apoyan en un complejo trabajo interdisciplinario que, rompiendo con las formas tradicionales de los estudios sobre los «efectos» de los medios, ingresa contribuciones de la psicología, la sociología, la semiótica, la teoría de la ideología, la historia de los medios. Los sólidos trabajos de campo en los que se apoya, la innovación de sus estrategias metodológicas, dan cuenta de formas de investigación de la cultura contemporánea que rompen con muchos estereotipos y lugares comunes y contribuyen a un mayor rigor en la crítica y el análisis cultural.

Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.

The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Mixed race studies is one of the fastest growing, as well as one of the most important and controversial areas in the field of race and ethnic relations. Bringing together pioneering and controversial scholarship from both the social and the biological sciences, as well as the humanities, this reader charts the evolution of debates on 'race' and 'mixed race' from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century. The book is divided into three main sections: tracing the origins: miscegenation, moral degeneracy and genetics mapping contemporary and foundational discourses: 'mixed race', identities politics, and celebration debating definitions: multiraciality, census categories and critiques. This collection adds a new dimension to the growing body of literature on the topic and provides a comprehensive history of the origins and directions of 'mixed race' research as an intellectual movement. For students of anthropology, race and ethnicity, it is an invaluable resource for examining the complexities and paradoxes of 'racial' thinking across space, time and disciplines.
