A Problemática Social e o Discurso da Metrópole em Brecht
Este trabalho tem por objetivo uma breve análise da problemática social relacionado às metrópoles da modernidade. Tomar-se-á como base para nossa análise uma leitura de uma ópera de Bertolt Brecht, ‘Ascensão e queda da cidade de Mahagonny’, escrita no final dos anos 20 do século XX, época em que se inicia a grande depressão econômica, não só nos Estados Unidos, onde se desenrola a trama, mas em quase todos os continentes, por onde acabou se espal…
Conceptualising Doing Things
What happens when academics, who “conceptualise research questions”, and community groups, which aim to be “doing things”, collaborate? Building on STS research about collaboration, we focus on the collaborative experiences of three teams of academics and community groups to address environmental justice. Our research reveals a tension between the way two sets of actors understand the purpose and mode of science within environmental justice colla…
Spatio-Temporal Gait Parameters of Hospitalized Older Patients
Gait disorders are predisposing factors for falls. They are accessible to rehabilitation and can be analyzed using tools that collect spatio-temporal parameters of walking, such as the GAITRite® mat. The objective of this retrospective study was to find differences between the spatio-temporal parameters in patients who had fallen compared to patients who did not fall in a population of older patients hospitalized in acute geriatrics department. P…
Project Confluence
Background: Collaborations between community groups and academics within a university-managed research model (UMRM) can sometimes negatively impact a community, whereas community-owned and -managed research (COMR) can ensure collaborations remain committed to addressing issues of environmental injustice. Methods: Project Confluence leveraged the benefits of UMRM (i.e., access to research grants, interdisciplinary networking) to support the design…
A Mixed-Methods Approach for Evaluating the Relationship between Sustainable Urban Renewal Projects and Environmental Perception and Action in Chengdu
This article draws from a mixed-methods approach to explore the relationship between sustainable urban renewal projects and the way Chinese urban residents perceive and act upon the environment. We examine sustainable urban renewal projects in the city of Chengdu, called Ecological Housing Estate projects. By collaborating with nongovernmental organizations and local officials, we used a two-step process, including collecting freelists and semi-s…
The Retreat of the Human
Decades of violent upheaval during the Late Ming and Early Qing in Sichuan caused the human population to decrease dramatically. Subsequent processes of rewilding reveal the tight connection between humans and their environment as well as the human interpretation of such dramatic changes. First, the irrigation facilities and former agricultural landscape of Sichuan deteriorated along with the decline of the human population. Due to lack of labour…
Fertility trends, sex ratios, and son preference among Han and minority households in rural China
This paper presents new insights into contemporary Chinese demography and family life based on survey and interview data from rural households in Yunnan Province, China’s most ethnically and linguistically diverse region. Using both quantitative and qualitative data, we examine fertility trends, sex ratios, and son preferences in our study sample. We analyze differences between the majority Han and various ethnic minority groups that have been su…
Measuring Micrometers of Matter and Inventing Indices
Environmental protection agencies around the globe are establishing different methods for measuring particulates, and then integrating those measurements into a single air quality index with other pollutants. At the same time, scientific inquiry has also shifted to a theory of measurement that incorporates discrete and continuous measurement. This article reviews the relationship between discrete measurements and indices, while also speculating o…
Engaging truthiness and obfuscation in a political ecology analysis of a protest against the Pengzhou Petroleum Refinery
This article draws from an empirical case study of the use of truthiness and obfuscation during an environmental protest in China, to help highlight the complex issues that political ecology faces in the Post-Truth Era. By drawing on empirical data from social media and local interviews, this article documents rising social tensions associated with air pollution and the recent construction of a petroleum refinery outside of Chengdu. The article n…
Mindscaping the Landscape of Tibet
This contribution to Tibetan studies is an attempt to challenge the Orientalist critique against Tibetophiles through a phenomenological study of the Tibetan landscape. In the initial chapter the a
The West as the Other
The premise of Wang Mingming’s book is that Edward Said’s famous deconstruction of Orientalism had the unintended effect of discouraging the anthropological study of how non-European cultures also
The Influence of Inter-ethnic Relations on Historical Shifts in the Value Systems of Agricultural Goods and Practices among the Ersu and Han of Sichuan, China
Cet article consiste en une approche des relations inter-ethniques en Chine, essentiellement fondées sur des rapports à l'agriculture. L'analyse se focalise sur les Ersu et les Han qui ont conjointement cultivé la région de Songlin di au Sichuan au cours des trois cents dernières années. À la lumière des échanges qu'ils ont entretenus, il est possible de mettre en évidence des différences dans la façon dont les deux groupes attribuent de la valeu…

For those familiar with Chengdu, John Osburg's Anxious Wealth paints a provocative but recognizable picture of social ties among the city's wealthy residents and the importance of affect and gender
Shape Change and Variation in the Cranial Morphology of Wild Canids ( Canis lupus, Canis latrans, Canis rufus ) Compared to Domestic Dogs ( Canis familiaris ) Using Geometric Morphometrics
Wild canid populations exhibit different anatomical morphologies compared to domesticated dogs in North America. This is particularly important concerning archaeological sites, which may contain early domesticated species, for the proper identification of osteological remains. Previous studies have indicated domestic dogs exhibit a shorter rostrum accompanied by a crowded tooth row; however, none describe the overall complexity of these changes. …
