Tatlin's Tower and Worker and Kolkhoz Woman by Vera Mukhina. Tatlin’s Tower, or the project for the Monument to the Third International (1919–20),[1] was a design for a grand monumental building by the Russian artist and architect Vladimir Tatlin, that was never built.[2] It was planned to be erected in Petrograd (now St. Petersburg) after the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, as the headquarters and monument of the Comintern (the third international).

The Politics of Ontology: Anthropological Positions — Cultural Anthropology. At first blush, “ontology” and “politics” make strange bedfellows.
Ontology evokes essence, while politics, as modern, democratic, multiculturalist citizens tend to understand it, is about debunking essences and affirming in their stead the world-making capacities of human collectives. Yet this notion of a social construction of reality itself instantiates a particular ontology, and a powerful one at that—and here we also mean politically powerful. Still, as anthropologists we are attuned to the “powers of the weak”—to the many complex connections, some of them crucially negative, between power differences (politics) and the powers of difference (ontology). How might “the otherwise” be rendered manifest ethnographically?

Based on the list in Dunn, Kawana, Brewer (2000). World-systems theory (also known as world-systems analysis or the world-systems perspective),[1] a multidisciplinary, macro-scale approach to world history and social change, emphasizes the world-system (and not nation states) as the primary (but not exclusive) unit of social analysis.[1][2] Background[edit] Gringo Trails.

Ecological anthropology. Some societies have proven to be sustainable for centuries or even millennia.
Others have degraded their habitat and depleted the natural resources in it to the extent of undermining their economic and social viability thereby leading to sociocultural disintegration and even collapse. (1 of 4) The Bomb Under The World - The Human Race: A Species at the Crossroads - by Gwynne Dyer. Nature–culture divide. The nature–culture divide, refers to a theoretical foundation of contemporary anthropology.
Early anthropologists sought theoretical insight from the perceived tensions between culture, as a social entity, and nature, as a bio-physical entity. The argument became framed as to whether the two entities function separately from one another, or if they have a continuous biotic relationship with each other. Debate during the 1960s and '70s extended the debate to the role of women (as nature) and men (as culture). Ecophenomenology. A New Geometry of fear :: the road from Smithson to Nelson February 15, 2013 · by simeon kaminski · in Academic art, Conceptual art, Contemporary Art, Environment, Galleries, geography, human geography, infrastructure, Research art, roads, Uncategorized · I’ve mentioned Robert Smithson before in a previous post and still haven’t quite satisfied myself (and probably never will) that whatever I’ve read and written about his work Asphalt Rundown adequately describes the profound influence this work has had on a particular type of environmental art.
The Ivory Tunnel: What is Ecological Phenomenology (Ecophenomenology)? If environmental philosophy is a young field, ecological phenomenology as such is even younger, dating back perhaps two decades to foundational works, most notably Erazim Kohak's The Embers and the Stars (University of Chicago Press, 1984) and Neil Evernden's The Natural Alien (University of Toronto Press, 1985).
Both works offer remarkably similar invocations to an encounter of environmental thought with phenomenology. In a lyrical and deeply personal paean to the "moral sense of nature" (13), Kohak asserts that "[we] must approach nature anew, undertaking no less than a phenomenology of nature as the counterpart of our moral humanity" (22). Evernden directly addresses the vitiation (and the possibility of redemption) of the environmental movement, observing that "[i]f what we are is entailed in the story we create for ourselves, then only a new story will alter us and our actions. ...

David Wood (2001) The Need for a Rapprochment with Naturalism. An Order of Forest: Notes on “Friction: An Ethnography of Global Connection” by Anna Lownhaupt Tsing (Princeton University Press, 2005) Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing’s most recent book proposes “friction” as a paradigm through which to understand the overlapping and often conflicting objectives of social entities that coalesce around the forest resources of the South Kalimantan region of Borneo.
Tsing claims to pioneer a new method for understanding how “local” and “global” intersect through the actions of different groups such as the Meratus Dayak who inhabit South Kalimantan, Indonesian students’ nature clubs, Suharto and post-Suharto governments, foreign mining and timber corporations, and international and domestic NGO’s. While it has become quite commonplace to direct social-scientific fieldwork towards the study of local-global imbrications, Tsing’s work is noteworthy for her deft and continual movement between a particular place and its global tentacles—not only when chronicling the activities of the Meratus Dayak, but also when dealing with international NGO’s and corporations. Offers a vivid image of global friction. Neil Postman. Neil Postman (March 8, 1931 – October 5, 2003) was an American author, media theorist and cultural critic, who is best known by the general public for his 1985 book about television, Amusing Ourselves to Death.
For more than forty years, he was associated with New York University. Postman was a humanist, who believed that "new technology can never substitute for human values". Biography[edit] Postman was born to a Jewish family in New York City, where he would spent most of his life.[1] In 1953, he graduated from State University of New York at Fredonia where he played basketball.[2][3] At Teachers College, Columbia University he was awarded a master's degree in 1955 and an Ed.D in 1958.[2] In 1959, he began teaching at New York University (NYU).[2] He died of lung cancer in Flushing, Queens on October 5, 2003.[2] Works[edit] The Gnostic Religion: Amazon.co.uk: Hans Jonas.

Lewis Mumford, KBE (October 19, 1895 – January 26, 1990) was an American historian, sociologist, philosopher of technology, and literary critic. Particularly noted for his study of cities and urban architecture, he had a broad career as a writer.
Mumford was influenced by the work of Scottish theorist Sir Patrick Geddes and worked closely with his associate the British sociologist Victor Branford. Life[edit] Mumford was born in Flushing, Queens, New York, and graduated from Stuyvesant High School in 1912.[2] He studied at the City College of New York and The New School for Social Research, but became ill with tuberculosis and never finished his degree. In 1918 he joined the navy to serve in World War I and was assigned as a radio electrician.[1][3] He was discharged in 1919 and became associate editor of The Dial, an influential modernist literary journal.

Ethnomethodology is the study of methods people use for understanding and producing the social order in which they live.[1] It generally seeks to provide an alternative to mainstream sociological approaches.[2] In its most radical form, it poses a challenge to the social sciences as a whole.[3] On the other hand, its early investigations led to the founding of conversation analysis, which has found its own place as an accepted discipline within the academy.
