Facets of Urbanisation: Views from Anthropology By Sumita Chaudhuri (Editor)
2015 | 201 Pages | ISBN: 1443871117 | PDF | 4 MB
This book is the result of an international conference organized by the Commission on Urban Anthropology, the Commission on Human Rights of the International Union of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences (IUAES) and the Department of Anthropology of West Bengal State University, in collaboration with the Anthropological Survey of India, the Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Manav Sangrahalaya, the Indian Council of Social Science Research, the Indian Council of Medical Research, the Indian Museum, and the Centre for Alternative Research in Development. The theme of the conference was Mega-Urbanisation and Human Rights: Emerging Challenges and Opportunities. Rapid urbanisation began with the onset of industrialization, and has numerous social, economic, political and environmental implications. In the context of cities, where society is essentially heterogeneous and pluralistic due to the presence of several ethnic communities, the process of urbanisation becomes further complicated. This has particular implications for many people immigrating to the city, because the shifting of base involves not only the transcending of long physical distances, but also navigating additional cultural barriers that are associated with alien languages and different regions. Increasing urbanisation is emerging as a dominant trend all over the world, particularly in developing countries such as India. Besides examining the impact of urbanisation on human society, this volume also analyses the various different facets of urbanisation, including cultural adaptation; migration; gender distinction in the context of urbanisation; the growth of the Scheduled Tribes in the urban population; slums; urban space; entrepreneurship in the urban context; and the urban environment. Given its cross-cultural perspective, the book will be of great interest to researchers in the social sciences, including anthropologists and sociologists, academics, planners, and policy makers, as well as anyone interested in urban issues.

Wing-Chung Ho, "Ethnographic Inquiry and Lived Experience: An Epistemological Critique "
English | ISBN: 1138478903 | 2019 | 218 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Ho addresses two fundamental theoretical questions about how best to practice ethnographic inquiries to obtain qualitative, experience-near, and shareable accounts of human living. The first question is regarding the epistemology of ethnography. Ho posits that writing is epistemologically prior to the researcher's fieldwork experience in the production of ethnographic knowledge. This stance is developed using the theories of hermeneutics put forward by Paul Ricoeur and Hans-Georg Gadamer who both consider that once a text is produced, its meaning is dissociated from the intention of the author. The second question is: what is the putative object that the ethnographer writes about? Ho argues that "lived experience" (Erlebnis) offers such an ethnographic object. Since the lived experience that an ethnographer experiences during fieldwork cannot be studied directly, further theorizations of lived experience are necessary. Ho underscores both the non-discursivity and transcendence of lived experience in the lifeworld, and the way power is clandestinely imbued in everyday life in shaping subjectivity and practice. This theorization brings together Alfred Schutz's lifeworld theory and Michel Foucault's power/knowledge nexus. The result is a general theory of experience that is pertinent for ethnographic inquiries.

Entrepreneurship Skill Building: Focusing Entrepreneurship Education on Skills Assessment and Development
English | 2021 | ISBN: 303077919X | 190 Pages | PDF EPUB | 15 MB
This book explores the sea change in thinking about how to educate students of entrepreneurship, uses extant theory to develop a conceptual model of entrepreneurship skill development, describes an assessment tool for operationalizing this model, discusses how this tool can be utilized to develop entrepreneurship skills, and offers examples from the application of our approach in educational settings. It concludes with implications of this methodology for furthering both entrepreneurship education and the research that shapes it. The authors present an entrepreneurship skills assessment tool, which uses a theory of measurement that breaks from psychometrics (predictive approaches) and honors the volatility and uncertainty that characterizes entrepreneurship. This assessment tool can be used to integrate curriculum and co-curricular activities to ensure skill development. Focusing on a methodology for the measurement and development of entrepreneurship skills, this book will serve as a valuable resource to researchers and students alike.
