Putting Anthropological Skills to Use in Engagement with Grassroots Community Organizations1
Academic anthropologists have many valuable skills to offer community-based non-profit organizations. Conceptualizing and tracing the embeddedness of the organization in its community, constituency, or client base, especially in situations of change, is essential in understanding and reformulating organizational mission, designing new programming, developing leadership and governance, building coalitions and alliances, measuring organizational ef…
Art builds the city BostonArte que faz a cidade: Community Murals and Local Identity
Três antropólogos empreenderam uma reflexão conjunta em torno de alguns murais comunitários (community murals) que visitaram nas ruas de Roxbury e Dorchester, conhecidos bairros de Boston habitados por uma população maioritariamente latina, afro-americana e cabo-verdiana. A ideia deste encontro em torno das pinturas de rua surgiu de prévias experiências etnográficas pessoais que tinham em comum uma atenção particular aos processos de construção d…
The Neighborhood Strikes Back: Community Murals by Youth in Boston's Communities of Color
Community murals in US inner city neighborhoods offer popular, grassroots representations of local identities and their relation to urban space and community culture. They are powerful tools in building neighborhood solidarity across ethnic groups, generations, and defended gang territories. Designed primarily for local consumption, murals circulate dramatic, alternative representations of local identity, heritage and history, contesting attribut…

Public Architecture in a Postimperial Capital: The Portuguese Pavilion at the 1998 Lisbon's World's Fair
Álvaro Siza Vieira's Portuguese Pavilion was the signature architectural showpiece of Lisbon's 1998 world exposition, Expo '98. Designed by the dean of Portuguese architects, and linked to the Portuguese state, the Pavilion attempted to break with older narratives of the country's past, representing the nation as both modern and European. It displays design continuities with older imperial themes, however, and does not escape long-standing entang…

Composing Lusophonia: Multiculturalism and National Identity in Lisbon’s 1998 Musical Scene
Following Portugal’s post-1974 transition to democracy and entry into the European Union in 1986, state reformulations of national identity increasingly stressed Portugal’s expertise in multicultural, especially international, affairs. By the 1990s, almost all discourses of national culture, history, and identity asserted Portuguese people’s historic facility in promoting dialogue and communication among the world’s cultures and nations and empha…

Remembering Vasco da Gama: Contested histories and the cultural politics of contemporary nation-building in Lisbon, Portugal
The quincentennial year of Vasco da Gama's arrival in India, 1998, was pivotal in new efforts to reimagine and represent Portuguese national identity, as Lisbon hosted the country's first international exposition, Expo '98. The iconography of Da Gama and the golden age of the Portuguese maritime "Discoveries" permeated new urban development and official cultural events at the fair, calling attention to the relevance of Portugal's past to its pres…

Classmates as Workmates: Informal Peer Activity In the Elementary School1
Drawing on case study data from an American urban school, this paper examines the elementary school classroom as a setting for children's learning of culturally appropriate modes of informal work group behavior. Rather than representing an intrusive, disfunctional element in schoolroom social organization, pupil peer activity is strongly conditioned, in form and function, by the classroom situational context and by school-sponsored norms for peer…
Teaching and Social Behavior: Toward an Organizational Theory of Instruction
Brokers and Symbols in American Urban Life
This paper strives for an understanding of an urban system as a whole through an investigation of the role of esthetic expression in everyday life. The research was carried out in New York in 1971 on behalf of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. Three ideas are put forward: 1) the usefulness of a neo-Redfield model understanding the and social processes of the city; 2) the importance of esthetic expression as an aspect of human relations, one…
