Understanding Culture; 21A.109 Students are introduced to anthropological fieldwork and the concept of culture from readings, films, and their own research projects in the Boston area. A ``hands-on'' approach to understanding cultural differences and what produces them. Students discover the excitement and challenges of systematically observing human interaction and convincing others of the accuracy of their findings. Introduction to Anthropology; 21A.100 What kinds of wisdom do other ways of life offer our own? How do other perspectives on the world challenge our assumptions about life? These questions are addressed through the four fields of anthropology: biological, cultural, and linguistic anthropology, and archaeology. We examine family and kinship, religion, economics, politics, survival of indigenous groups, and Western influences from an anthropological perspective to gain appreciation for cultural and ethnic diversity. Special Topics in Foreign Languages and Literatures; 21F.911 Advanced work in foreign languages and literatures for students wishing to pursue topics or projects not provided by regular subject offerings. Before registering, student must plan course of study with appropriate instructor in the section and secure the approval of the Section Head. Normal maximum is 6 units; to count toward HASS Requirement, 9 units are required. Exceptional 9-unit projects occasionally approved. Introduction to Linguistics; 24.900J

Peru Lima, Perú has served the seat of government for both the Incas and Spaniards, thus making Perú a land that is rich in history and culture. Peoples/Languages According to the 1994 State Department report, Peru has 22.9 million inhabitants and sixty-nine percent of the people live in the city. The main people groupings are Indian (45%), Mestizos (37%), and Caucasians (15%). Out of all of my case study countries, Perú has the highest percentage of indigenous people. Some Peruvians also are of African descent, and Lima and the coastal cities have Chinese and Japanese communities. As been mentioned earlier, Mestizos form a bridge between the Hispanic-European and Indian societies. Caucasians tend to be culturally homogeneous throughout the country, whereas the Mestizos and especially the Indians show greater cultural diversity. However, due to factors such as education, economic development, and the movement from rural to urban areas, a more homogeneous national culture is developing, especially in major cities.

Torriente While the United States is a nation of great diversity, culturally, linguistically and ethnically, ethnic and socio-cultural factors are largely ignored in training U.S. mediators. Little material exists in the area of mediation training regarding the intercultural aspects of conflict resolution and there is very little written in this area regarding international business negotiations. These factors can, however, make the difference between a successful or unsuccessful outcome in mediation proceedings. When people from different ethnic and socio-cultural backgrounds interact in attempting to conflict solutions, tensions and misunderstandings may arise which take the parties even further away from their goal of reaching a mutually satisfactory agreement. Rather than helping to resolve conflict, U.S. mediation models may inadvertently cause or escalate tensions if the mediator simply attempts to export and impose them upon an individual from a different ethnic or socio-cultural background without modification. The primary source of these possible tensions and misunderstandings is that the U.S. mediation model is founded upon cultural assumptions that are not generally accepted in Latin America. A basic principle of dispute resolution is that people bring their cultural assumptions to any dispute resolution process, including mediation. These assumptions are beliefs so completely accepted that they do not need to be stated, questioned, or defended. Cultural assumptions are a cluster of beliefs deemed to be fundamental by those who hold them, and those individuals may assume that their beliefs are (or should be) universally held. In an intercultural dispute resolution process, divergent cultural assumptions about conflict may cause one or both disputants to experience a sense of discomfort, uneasiness or cause escalating tensions requiring the termination of the mediation process.

Economic Globalization and Culture A Discussion with Dr. Francis Fukuyama Page 1 of 2 arlier this year, the Merrill Lynch Forum spoke with Dr. Francis Fukuyama about globalization. The conversation focused on how culture shapes, and is shaped by, the increasing worldwide economic integration. In his comments, Fukuyama challenges the view that globalization is leading to cultural homogeneity, arguing that societies largely maintain their individual characteristic despite economic pressures. In fact, Fukuyama asserts that these cultural values in many respects define how business is conducted within a nation. This does not mean that society is not influenced or altered by the process of globalization Fukuyama does believe there is a convergence of political and economic ideologies. Rather, he suggests that there are deeper elements of culture not easily abandoned. Q) To what extent has globalization been realized? I think that in many respects, globalization is still superficial. Although there is a great deal of talk about it currently, the underlying truth is that the global economy is still limited. It seems to me that the real layer of globalization is restricted to the capital markets. In most other areas, institutions remain intensely local. Trade, for example, is still predominantly regional. Relatively little trade flows beyond local regions: Asians trade mostly with Asians and Latin Americans trade mostly with Latin Americans. Even in more developed regions this practice holds true. Intra-European trade accounts for roughly 60% of all European trade.

Canadian Journal of Sociology Online March - April 2002 Identity and Modernity in Latin America. Cambridge: Polity Press, 2000, 250 pages, $US 28.95 paper (0-7456-2624-6), $US 62.95 cloth (0-7456-2623-8) Identity and Modernity in Latin America Identity and Modernity is much more than a mere translation or an adaptation of Larraín's previous work for English-language readers. The author has written an introduction to Latin America that is both appealing for graduate students and scholars who are already familiar with Latin American history, politics and literature. Through an innovative approach and drawing on numerous and diverse sources, Larraín portrays the cultural transformations and processes of modernization that have occurred in Latin America since colonial times. Most of his theses are thought-provoking, and some of them are controversial. But his arguments are always clearly expressed and, as James Dunkerley, from the Institute of Latin American Studies at the University of London justly points out, Larraín's work is "delightfully free of the pious neologisms that so often infect cultural studies". But the "essentialist" bias is not only found in the defensive discourse of those who want to preserve Latin America's identity from being corrupted by Western modernity. The positivist and liberal theories of the end of the nineteenth century appealed to Latin Americans "to get rid of their Indo-Iberian legacy in order to become the 'North Americans of the south'" (p. 180). These old theories have evolved and mutated, but some of their core assumptions are still held by many, particularly the idea that there is a "cultural resistance" to modernization in Latin America. Some authors point to specific cultural values that hinder development and democracy: "resistance to change, the emphasis on order and unity, centralism, symmetry, organicity, tradition" (p. 176). In this respect, Larraín's book offers us some interesting insights to tackle current political and academic debates.

LAIR Home Collections Home UNC Libraries Catalogs ... Request Acquisition Pathfinder for Latin American Reference Sources Introduction Browsing Areas Encyclopedias Dictionaries ... Internet Resources Introduction A pathfinder is a tool for finding the way. It is not meant to be a comprehensive, all-inclusive bibliography, but instead a starting point for students with little idea where to begin research. The ideal pathfinder is one that leads to other places of learning and discovery. For those who seek to learn more about the important region of Latin America (here used to refer to all lands south of the United States), this pathfinder offers fundamental resources to begin investigation. Upon consulting these works one will have a much better grasp of the subject matter and ideas about where to proceed next. Back to the top Browsing Areas The Library of Congress classifies Latin American resources in a couple of general areas. It is useful to know these call numbers in order to browse works that may be of great help in research. Some other useful materials are located in other places based upon the predominant subject content, so don't rely solely on these areas but instead think broadly. For example, there are books about education or economics that have substantial information relevant to Latin America but they located in the areas for their respective disciplines instead of the general area for Latin America. Think interdisciplinary and look around in order to achieve the most effective results in your research.

Anthropology is the broad study of humankind around the world and throughout time. It is concerned with both the biological and the cultural aspects of humans. Included in anthropology are four main subdivisions: Physical Anthropology Mechanisms of biological evolution, genetic inheritance, human adaptability and variation, primatology, and the fossil record of human evolution Cultural Anthropology Culture, ethnocentrism, cultural aspects of language and communication, subsistence and other economic patterns, kinship, sex and marriage, socialization, social control, political organization, class, ethnicity, gender, religion, and culture change Archaeology Prehistory and early history of cultures around the world; major trends in cultural evolution; and techniques for finding, excavating, dating, and analyzing material remains of past societies Linguistic Anthropology The human communication process focusing on the importance of socio-cultural influences; nonverbal communication; and the structure, function, and history of languages, dialects, pidgins, and creoles

Recommendations This volume could well be the foundation for the development of a data bank that stores information on the history, culture, politics and education of Afro-Latin Americans. For emerging grassroots non-governmental organizations the information provided would be invaluable in their struggle for legitimacy. The book provides much useful information that could also serve as the scholarly base for film documentaries and other projects examining the history, culture and politics of the societies discussed here. By raising common issues it lays the groundwork for comparable transnational programs and areas of cooperation. Might one hope for a program - sponsored, say, by UNESCO or the Organization of American States, that seeks not just to catalogue distinct historical events but, first and foremost, to identify and monitor (currency being of primary importance here) the intersections of history, economics, politics and culture among nations with populations of African descent? The African Diaspora Research Project based at Michigan State University serves as a useful model. That project has, inter alia, brought together scholars and graduate students who jointly explore interdisciplinary issues pertaining to the African diaspora. A good point of departure might be Norman Whitten's proposal for reactivating studies of Afro-Ecuadorian communities.

Comparative perspectives Future examinations of present-day Afro-Latin Americans need to seek actively to extend the framework of the process to one that permits global comparison. That framework will have no a priori victors or successes contrasted with worst-possible cases; it will, one hopes, open the way for Afro-Latin Americans themselves to establish links with other peoples of African ancestry in transnational encounters much like the recent gathering in Uruguay discussed in the Postscript to this volume. The salient feature of these meetings is not the search for ready-made, all-purpose solutions; rather, it is the airing of reflections and histories that transcend individual cases. A possible future research area would be, for example, inter- and intra-Dominican relations in communities outside the national territory. Do Dominicans in the United States hold steadfastly to the single commonality of Dominicanness, irrespective of race or color? What happens when they come into contact with other Latin Americans whose socio-racial mix may not be so directly linked to a Haitian factor but whose societies nonetheless confer privilege, status and power on those who are of lighter hues? What happens when in the United States Dominicans and other Latin Americans confront the rigidly binary division of racial lines? But even this binarism is more complicated than it would appear.
