Indigenous Knowledge and Ethnomathematics
This book focuses on research at the crossroads of anthropology and ethnomathematics to document indigenous mathematical knowledge.
Racism in Metropolitan Areas
For several decades, a political discourse, which incites exclusion and hatred againt those who are perceived as different, has been gaining ground, most notably in affluent and developed countries. Focusing on the growth of racism in large cities and urban areas, this volume presents the views of international scholars who work in the social sciences and statements by non-practicing academics such as journalists and policy makers. The contributi…

Plea in favor of ‘trivial mathematics’ in a multimathemacy educational perspective
Sketching three different approaches to mathematics education, I choose for a pluralistic view, called multimathemacy. The focus is on cultural diversity and particular and local skills and insights in the out-of-school knowledge of the children. ‘Trivial mathematics’ as Hardy called it can be used as a bridge between these skills and insights and the abstract thinking in so-called pure mathematics. The sociocultural learning theory of the Vygots…

Neo-nationalism in Europe and beyond: Perspectives From Social Anthropology
By the early twenty-first century neo-nationalist forces have established themselves in a number of the world's large regions and subcontinents. From Australia to South Asia, in Eastern and Western Europe, comparable parties and movements have positioned themselves in national parliaments and governments, with some considerable impact on state power. In contrast to right-wing extremist parties in the past, these recent movements mostly operate wi…
La cosmologie navajo et la cosmologie occidentale
L'étude comparative des cosmologies est un type particulier d'approche comparative en anthropologie: je veux me concentrer sur des intuitions de base (ou des racines) dans l'étude d'un aspect spécifique de toute culture. Ces intuitions de base peuvent être interprétées comme des «prémisses» différant de culture en culture. Dans la description et la comparaison des cosmologies des Indiens Navajos et des peuples occidentaux, l'importance de cette a…
Intercultural education and Complex Instruction. Some remarks and questions from an anthropological perspective on learning
In this article we examine and discuss the relationship between intercultural education and Complex Instruction (CI) (as a specific form of co-operative learning). The goal of our examination is to gain a clearer idea of how CI can be used as a means for the enhancement of intercultural education. As a starting point for our discussion we reflect on learning as a fundamental cultural process-one that is conditioned by the basic intuitions that ex…

Donald Campbell on Cultural Relativism
smiling his ironic-but-gentle smile.I had just graduated as a PhD in Belgium and was proud to carry my first 'real' book with me: a collection of essays on cultural and linguistic relativism.My own contribution to the volume dealt to some extent with Don's work on perceptual illusions and cultural relativism and it was because of that work that I dared to enter his vault-like office.He made time and space, and started to question me.His first con…
Comparing Time and Temporality in Cultures
In this article I investigate how time perception and conceptualization in another culture (Navajo Indian culture) can be understood. The now 'classical' distinction between cyclical time (in non-western cultures) and linear time (in the western tradition) is challenged. Instead, a particular complex of temporality notions in the Navajo culture yields a series of interesting avenues for the study of time as a cultural, rather than a mere natural,…
