    Extractions: Human populations play a crucial role in shaping tropical forest environments. To isolate the most important variables and processes regulating social and ecological relations – including the symbolic construction of human interactions - we conduct comparative research in humid zones within tropical Africa, Asia and the Americas from a holistic perspective. Our research deals with the following general questions: a. What are the long-term ecological, social and economic consequences of the ways indigenous peoples shape the natural landscape to suit their needs for livelihood and social reproduction?;

    Extractions: Professor Harries-Jones has studied trade unions and local-level politics in Zambia, from which his book Freedom and Labour (1975) was a result. He maintains a continuing interest in the politics of Central and Southern Africa. More recently, he has turned his interest to the relations between culture and technology, in particular between communications technologies, social movements and public interest advocacy. Making Knowledge Count: Advocacy and Social Science (1991) presents case studies of trends in Canada. His last project was a book on ecological philosophy, Gregory Bateson and the cybernetic paradigm. These ideas are developed in his graduate teaching. He has also been concerned with developing social studies

67. How Cultural Anthropology Contributes To Culture: The Scientific Method In Late
    How cultural anthropology Contributes to Culture The Scientific Method in LateTwentieth Century cultural anthropology. The history of cultural anthropology.  
    http://www.oakland.edu/~dow/personal/papers/theory/ctoc2.htm
    
    Extractions: http://www.oakland.edu/~dow A paper presented in the session Science in Anthropology: Late 20th Century Debates at the 74th Annual Meeting of the Central States Anthropological Society, April 3-6, 1997, Milwaukee,Wisconsin In the 1990s a debate over the place of science in cultural anthropology developed (Chagnon 1995; D'Andrade 1995a, 1995b; Scheper-Hughes 1995; Drummond 1995; Hammel 1995; Cerroni-Long 1996; Dow 1996; Latour 1996; Michrina 1996). This is the latest battle in a conflict covering several decades (Diamond 1964). In the current line of battle on the anti-science side there are the symbolists who see cultural anthropology as a hermeneutic enterprise by which the meanings of cultural symbols are revealed through an endless process of interpretation much like the process through which Biblical texts have been teased into revealing their multitudinous meanings. On the science side there are the scientists who see anthropology taking its place along side the other sciences and developing a formal, logical, empirical knowledge of an objective world, in this case a world populated by human beings. The underlying saliency of this debate may be political. Which set of paradigms should be the basis for teaching cultural anthropology to graduate students? Which set should be the basis for forming a scholasticism to be entrenched in academic bureaucracies? Which set should receive grant money. Which set should be the basis for granting tenure? I suggest that much of the heat surrounding these debates is due to their academico-political consequences rather than to an essential incompatibility. Cannot several ways of knowing coexist?

    http://www.oakland.edu/~dow/personal/papers/meso/ca_of_ma.html
    
    Extractions: Middle America is the culture area that includes all the cultures south of the United States to the borders of Columbia. This is an area of 433,784 sq. km that contained a population of 122,656,331 people in 1992. Altitudes in other parts of Middle America vary between sea level and 5,747 m. (18,855 ft) creating a wide variety of temperatures. Rainfall in Middle America also varies widely. Steady easterly trade winds blowing across the Gulf of Mexico deposit large amounts of rain against the eastern escarpment of the Mesa Central and support tropical cloud and rain forest environments. Interior rain shadows make other parts of Middle America, such as the north central plateau of Mexico, into deserts. The north of Mexico is very dry and supported few native cultures. Although agriculture is difficult in the north, the aboriginal inhabitants cleverly adapted it to these dry environments by making use of what rain runoff there was in the valleys and by using river water for irrigation. Today expanded irrigation in the river systems has greatly improved agricultural productivity in the north. South of the Mesa Central the land is lower. It continues to be mountainous until one reaches the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, a low plain connecting the Atlantic with the Pacific coast. The region between the Mesa Central and the Isthmus of Tehuantepec contains two important culture areas: Morelos where temperature and climate favored commercial agriculture, particularly sugar cane, in the last century, and Oaxaca with less rainfall and a warmer temperature. Oaxaca has large Indian populations today.

    Extractions: Library Anthropology studies and uses cultural knowledge to understand different lifeways and help solve human problems. The Anthropology major is for students who desire to bridge differences in this increasingly multi-cultural world. Students learn to use the cultural perspective as a problem-solving tool while receiving excellent training that will prepare them for interactive professions or further graduate work. In these times of narrow specialties, Cultural Anthropology is refreshingly broad. Knowing and using cultural knowledge has multiple applications in teaching, research, business, evangelism, missions, and in solving national or world issues. Topics studied cover international, geographic, and local issues, from politics in developing countries to health care, to understanding cultural change as a consequence of evangelization. The study of Cultural Anthropology challenges the students' worldview and provides a framework for understanding diversity among people, an essential skill for effective work or ministry today. Anthropology also has a joint interdisciplinary major track with: International Business, which combines a minor in Anthropology with a strong business major for those wishing to do marketing, management, or work within multinational companies.

    Extractions: Cultural anthropologists at UCSC explore the worlds that human actors create through their meanings and practices, within the contexts of power and communication in which they are situated. The thrust of all cultural anthropology, UCSC's department included, is to understand the production and reproduction of practices and meanings from the viewpoints of those who create them. Although in the past anthropologists usually carried out research overseas, today many work in their own societies, and our program reflects both research approaches. Cultural anthropologists at Santa Cruz study an extremely broad range of issues and from a range of perspectives. We consider societies of diverse cultural traditions and economic levels, and the movements of people, objects, and ideas among them. We examine such topics as race and ethnicity, medicine, science, gender, sexuality, the environment, religion, law, popular culture, and politics. And we carry out comparative research that looks at different time periods and geographical locations. Undergraduate and graduate students engage with both theory and method. Cultural anthropology draws upon a range of social theory, including feminism, poststructuralism, political economy, and cognitive science, and students learn how these approaches can contribute to cultural analysis. Ethnographic methods are central to the discipline. In innovative courses, students learn how to carry out anthropological research through interviews, participant observation, surveys, the collection of oral histories, and the interpretation of archives. Students are also encouraged to use the department media lab to develop technical and creative skills in visual and audio media. In addition, students take ethnographic courses that focus in depth on particular areas of the globe, including the United States, Brazil, China, Indonesia, and various parts of Africa.

Cultural anthropology , also called socio-cultural anthropology, is one of four commonly recognized fields of anthropology , the holistic study of humanity. It reflects in part a reaction against earlier Western discourses based on an opposition between "culture" and "nature," according to which some human beings lived in a "state of nature." Anthropologists argue that culture IS "human nature," and that all people have a capacity to classify experiences, encode classifications symbolically, and teach such abstractions to others. Since culture is learned, people living in different places have different cultures. Anthropologists have also pointed out that through culture people can adapt to their environment in non-genetic ways, so people living in different environments will often have different cultures. Much of anthropological theory has been motivated by an appreciation of and interest in the tension between the local (particular cultures) and the global (a universal human nature, or the web of connections between people in distant places).
