Basels Integrationspolitik gilt als vorbildlich. Nächste Woche präsentiert die Regierung ein Gesetz, das gar Sanktionen bei Nichtanpassung ermöglicht. Doch nach den jüngsten Gewalttaten von Ausländern bleibt die Bevölkerung misstrauisch. In die Kritik geraten ist somit auch die bis anhin viel gerühmte Integrationspolitik der Stadt. Ihr zugrunde liegt ein 27-seitiges Leitbild, 1999 von einer Ethnologin der lokalen Universität entworfen und 2001 vom Grossen Rat mit deutlicher Mehrheit abgesegnet. >>weiter

Ricksha art as political indicator in Bangladesh

Anthropologist Joanna Kirkpatrick, Outlook India

Much has been written on jihadism, terrorist training camps and anti-secularism, but so far none of the published material has ever provided grass-roots evidence of where public opinion, the views of the chhoto lok, stand. Yet these are the very people the jihadis and worse are so successful in organizing.

Thus, it behooves analysts to take a look at the rickshas, an important source of visual revelations on public opinion. Ricksha pictures tend to be ignored by the gentry as vulgar and not art, but my years of research on ricksha art have shown me all too clearly what the common man in the streets has on his mind >>continue

Antropologer som konsulenter – i Sverige siden 1998

Published on August 4, 2004 by lorenz Posted in antropologi allment, antropologi utenfor akademia, business antropologi, sosialantropologi i Norge, Sverige og Danmark

Som i Norge var det to kvinner som har grunnlagt et antropologisk konsulentbyrå i Sverige. KulturDialog består av antropologene Eva Sennemark og Anette Moberg. De har holdt på siden 1998 og spesialisert seg på konsulenttjenester i helse- og integreringsspørsmål samt bistandsarbeid.

“Vi använder oss av kvalitativa metoder som djupintervjuer, fokusgrupper, deltagande observation och berättelseanalyser. Undersökningsmetoderna bygger på dialog med de berörda personerna och betonar därmed ett brukar- och inifrånperspektiv.” – Gå til KulturDialogs hjemmeside
