Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The concept of ‘industrial society’ is generally used for a type of social organization based on mass production of commodities. This type of societies began to dominate Western Europe toward the end of the eighteenth century, reflecting a strategy to expand export production in order to appropriate embodied labor and resources from elsewhere in the world-system. Perceived as progress and ‘development,’ this transition has shaped hegemonic worldviews and visions of a desirable future for all humankind, but current concerns with inequalities, resource depletion, and climate change suggest that such aspirations are not globally sustainable. Industrialization and urbanization tend to fundamentally transform sociocultural conditions and human–environmental relations. Anthropological perspectives can illuminate how the cultural inclinations and self-representations of industrial societies are geared to global political economy, sociology, and ecology.

Diffusion : Anthropological Aspects
- 2001
-
Ingår i: International Encyclopedia of the Social and Behavioral Sciences. - Oxford : Elsevier. - 9780080430768 ; , s. 3673-3676
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A chronological account of the anthropological study of cultural diffusion is presented, starting with nineteenth-century, and early twentieth-century, reconstructions of the cultural history of diffusion. Subsequent approaches, in particular the study of culture contact, acculturation, and culture change, as well as world-system and globalization studies, are presented and discussed in the remainder of the text. In this context, issues such as colonialism, underdevelopment, and cultural imperialism are also touched upon. A change in research focus is described in which the key topic of cultural origins has been replaced by a concern with questions of cultural homogenization and diversity. In conclusion, an argument is made for the relevance of diffusion studies for contemporary anthropology.
