Sociology of Development

Abstract: Development is not simply an economic fact; it is the aim of social movements, whose objectives and characteristics are determined by the type of underdeveloped or developing society in which they are formed. The diversity of these movements controls the manifold approaches to industrial civilization.

Appropriate museology and the “new museum ethics”. Honoring diversity

Abstract: This article focuses on what I see as two key movements in the museum world today: the emergence and adoption of a “new museum ethics,” and appropriate museology. I describe how these movements inform one another in both theory and practice; and how they manifest a growing respect for diversity – diversity in the ways different communities make sense of the museum as well as the objects that end up in museums, and diversity in actual practice.

Dakwah dalam masyarakat multikultural

Abstract: Indonesia is a country which has so many ethnicities, tribes, cultures, languages, andreligions. Such diversity is prone to conflict and discord and therefore, there must be asystematic, programmed, integrated, and sustainable effort to maintain the integrity of thenation and as a multicultural country.A step to be taken to realize it is by planting a multicultural understanding to thesociety. Planting a multicultural understanding is not intended to eliminate differences but toeliminate bias, develop dialogs and get to know the differences among them, so that mutualrespect and appreciation can be achieved. One form of planting a multicultural understandingcan be a dakwah activity which applies a cultural approach that is grounded in universalvalues of humanity.

Los Servicios Avanzados de Internet: Nuevas oportunidades para el desarrollo de los territorios rurales

Abstract: It is evident that, despite the existing diversity in European rural areas, there has been significant changes seen in them over the last two decades, both from a social and economic point of view. Although scientific literature still holds views generalising the most common problems affecting the rural areas, today it certainly must no longer be considered as a simple production surface. Rural areas are pluri-active and multifunctional spaces that provide values of high interest to society. Information and Communication Technologies contribute to the installation of new economic activities in these spaces, albeit both human capital and political initiatives are required to spread this reality throughout the European countryside, especially when it comes to the more peripheral areas at risk of abandonment.

Priest, development worker, or volunteer? Anthropological research and ascribed identities in rural Mozambique

Abstract: Over the last two decades anthropologists have devoted increasing analytical space to questioning, challenging, and reflecting on how different identities and positionalities structure power relations and shape social interactions in a diversity of research contexts. Many of these works reveal how identities are constructed, contested, and negotiated through the process of conducting research. During 16 months of ethnographic fieldwork in central Mozambique I was mistaken for a priest, alleged to be a spy, and assumed to be a U.S. Peace Corps volunteer. In this article, I explore how my identity, and the identities ascribed to me, shaped my interactions with people living in rural Mozambique and structured the types of relationships and data I was able to collect. My experience highlights the contextually grounded and negotiated nature of identity construction and how individual identities are understood and interpreted through broader historical, political, and economic contexts.

Kamaraj: a Study in Percolation of Style

Abstract: A Complex stratified polity such as that of India, containing a variety of political cultures and a great diversity of political structure, inevitably produces a multitude of styles of political behaviour. Such styles may be the product of different political cultures and processes of recruitment and training, and they interact with each other in significant ways. In particular, the new integrated political system encourages what I call the ‘percolation of style’ from one stratum of the system to another. The percolating process flows in two-ways—from the national arena to the local, and vice versa—and the process itself affects the nature of political styles. A style which was appropriate and effective in one arena will need adaptation if it is to meet the distinctive challenges of a different stratum in the political system. Percolation thus involves modification of style, and the whole process may be viewed as the gradual development of new styles responsive to the demands of new situations. Inevitably this leads to multitudinous tensions, destructive or creative, but the process is thus an integral part of political change and an understanding of stylistic percolation is an important key to the understanding of the nature and direction of political development.

Las políticas educativas acerca de la diversidad en Brasil

Abstract: The debate on the concept and meaning of diversity in education policies in Brazil and in the world must not fail to consider the context in which such a theme is problematized. The objective of this article, through an exploratory research guided by a bibliographical and documentary review, is to discuss, not only the dimension of the concept of diversity in educational policies in Brazil, but also the recurrence of its extension and scope in some strategies aimed at its Effectiveness as a right and respect for singularities. In this sense, we organize the present work in three sections: a) Diversity in educational policies: from concept to its meanings; b) Diversity in educational policies: from reaching their limits and c) Diversity in educational policies: some scores and recurrences. We conclude that universal education policies and diversity demand the political formation of man, an object that cannot and should not be reduced to the particularized ideology of social justice.

U.S. Institutional Programs in International Education.

Abstract: During the past 25 years an in creasing number of universi ties in the United States have accepted responsibility for manag ing programs which involve sending American students or professors abroad and/or bringing host-coun try professors and students to their campuses. In fact, more than 20 per cent of the universities and colleges in the U.S. currently operate such programs. It is common for an in stitution to sponsor three or four programs, although the number varies all the way from one to 30 or 40. Because there is great diversity, it is better to examine these interna
