Why Does Cockapoo Vomit ?

UADY Nahmad Sitton


The first Friday in April 2011, in an emotional ceremony, Professor Solomon Nahmad Sitton, Center for Research and Higher Studies in Social Anthropology in Oaxaca, Bronislaw Malinowski received the medal awarded by the Society of Anthropology Applied in Seattle, Washington, U.S. of A. Nahmad Professor is an eminent Mexican anthropologist who has distinguished himself fighting for indigenous causes in Mexico and other Latin American countries through their academic work and its management of public agencies and research centers.


Bronislaw Malinowski Award is awarded anthropology professionals with long experience have been dedicated to understanding and serving the needs of people where they work. Professor Nahmad Sitton could not be an appropriate candidate for this award.

Professor Margaret Dalton, also of CIESAS Oaxaca, gave a brief biography of Professor Nahmad Sitton. Then Nahmad Sitton gave a speech in which he presented both his career and his personal philosophy that anthropology is the best way to achieve both the recognition of cultural differences and peace for all peoples of the world. Discussed his work with Julio de la Fuente, a student of Malinowski, and Guillermo Bonfil Batalla, Arturo Warman, Ted Downing and colleagues.

Both Margarita Dalton's speech as that of Solomon Nahmad Sitton were made in English. Mexico-US researcher Martha Rees had translated into English, and the text of the translation was projected, along with photographs that allude to the life and work of Solomon Nahmad, on two large screens on the sides of the Presidium.


In his speech, Professor Nahmad Sitton also thanked his colleagues in the Department of Anthropology at the Autonomous University of Yucatan, who promoted his nomination Malinowski well as those who supported his candidacy, beginning with Dr. Virginia García Acosta, Director National Center for Research and Higher Studies in Social Anthropology. At the end of his speech, prof. Sitton Nahmad received a standing ovation by the and members of the Society for Applied Anthropology (SFAA) and its affiliated companies participating in the conference.

We celebrated with great excitement this award to Professor Solomon Nahmad Sitton, an eminent anthropologist researcher who has taken the lead academic and personal support to the causes of indigenous peoples of Mexico and the Americas, even at the expense of their own welfare or safety personal. Solomon Congratulations!

Where Can I Go In Nyc For A Clitoris Piercing

Malinowski received the actual chips How do academic books Book

In anthropology we call 'chips' to a kind of 'identikit' of the books we read. In general, it is important to keep our files on a topic in one place. Before, we used files that were accumulated plastic cards half letter-size cardboard. Now I'm recommending to my students using the program Zotero (downloadable in several languages, including in English, http://www.zotero.org/) running in the Mozilla Firefox browser.

tabs on each topic can be saved in Zotero folders, and also can be linked together by means of the tongue 'related'.

is important to at least one tab on exposure and on research for every book that serves as an overview and can help us remember the main points raised in the books.
  • Bibliographic : Do not forget the name or author name (s), title of book publishing house, in each tab page. In Zotero this information is filled using the tab "Information"
  • Details Book as a mechanism of exposure (to create note "Exhibition" in Zotero, clicking on the tab 'notes')
Content of the Exhibition "
    • thesis or argument: what is or what the author tries to prove? Method
    • Exposure: How does the author or to prove his thesis? What sub-thesis develops? (Usually each chapter develops one of the arguments related to the general thesis)
    • bibliographic Country: What are the authors and main against or in favor of which structure their arguments? What are the main authors and with whom dialogue in each chapter? What are the arguments of this / these authors and how it differs from the argument of the book or author?
  • Card of the book as a result of an investigation (create note "Research" in Zotero, clicking on the tab 'notes' again)
    • Thesis: What was the starting point for preparation of the book?
    • Methodology: Is it a conceptual only, or have an ethnographic component or other 'field'? How planned research? How did you do?
    • Results: How far the final outcome of the initial central question? Country
    • literature: What authors began work and why they were not enough? (Never enough)
not forget to label (two or more) to each of your notes and each of your index cards. For the bibliographic record that is going to tab 'marks' in Zotero. For each of the notes attached to this form (ie for the sub-tabs) this is done at the bottom of the form (where it says 'marks').

online tools should not be obfuscated, it is important to understand that they serve so that we can use the content we produce and we get from other sources. There is to be feared, but neither should we think they can do more than what we can program them to do. Think content first, then how you will create your inventory, carefully selecting your categories of classification. No categories neutral, nor are there categories perfect, but there are categories and ways of organizing information are more useful than others. It is you who will decide the order that suits you, once you've decided, install and open Zotero creates folders and begins to sort your information.

Elastic Brown Cm A Sign Of Pregnancy?

bioarchaeology pioneer of Campeche

Last Friday was presented at the Palacio Canton, Merida, Yucatan, the book Natives, Europeans, and Africans in Colonial Campeche coordinated by Vera Tiesler , Pilar Zabala and Andrea Cucina (University Press of Florida, 2010). This is a groundbreaking book because it is the result of a project from its inception, was proposed as interdisciplinary. Recently in my research workshop were reading The logic of social science , by Jürgen Habermas (Tecnos 1993), where Habermas explains the epistemological differences between the nomological sciences, including biology, and in hermeneutics, including them the story.

Vera Tiesler and his team have made a concerted effort to bring both disciplines nomological (if bioarchaeology, osteology and archeology) and hermeneutics (in this case history, architecture and social geography) to the study's first post-Conquest cemetery the city of Campeche. The result is a remarkable book, both its purpose clearly circumscribed (the cemetery and historical context) as a multidisciplinary approach.

One of the great attractions of this book is a vindication of African American history in the Yucatan Peninsula, as part of the remains found in the cemetery under, according to the osteological, people of African descent. Certainly, as a presenter said at the presentation of the book, as Habermas does not tire of repeating logic social sciences, each approach has its limits. Here is the starting point have been archaeological remains, rather than ethnic and caste categories established in the historiography of the conquest of Mexico. However, since there are many texts that could be read as supplementary material castes and social classes in New Spain and its surrounding territories, I think that this limitation operates here as a strength, since this type of bio-ethnographic approach geographical and social never have been undertaken without accurate identification of the biological characteristics of human remains found.

This book is no longer one of the many results of the joint projects of our colleagues Vera Tiesler, Pilar Zabala and Andrea Cucina, three excellent teachers and researchers with whom I have the pleasure to work and socialize daily at the Department of Anthropology at the Autonomous University of Yucatan. Since 2002, this trio has become an interdisciplinary team, which sometimes included, as in this case, researchers from neighboring disciplines. We expect great things from this joint effort, and the book that we now provide us confirmed that expectation.

historical earthquake in Japan and radiation hazard

Vista Fukushima nuclear plant from Google Earth, March 2011


On Friday last November there was a massive earthquake in Sendai, Japan. The images of the disaster were, as long as there is major disasters, devastating. However, since the same Friday, the world began to see with concern the outcome of this great tragedy, especially since the nuclear plant in Fukushima, about 100 kilometers from Sendai, an explosion occurred in one of its reactors, which has followed an escalating emergency situation.

While on Monday it seemed possible that the situation was controlled, it is clear Wednesday Fukushima plant that has become a major disaster in Chernobyl in 1986.

These notes are more of an effort to sort my mind and allow me to accept, if not better understand what is happening in Japan. The three major nuclear disasters news than I have been at Three Mile Island in 1979 in the United States, the one at Chernobyl in 1986 and now east of Fukushima. To my knowledge, in all three cases the problem has been an excessive increase in temperature in the reactor at Three Mile Island by a fault that was never explained in Chernobyl a nuclear emergency drill during which and plant operators down to a minimum power and plant defenses (Petryna 2002), and now in Fukushima for damage caused by the earthquake and tsunami to the terms of the nuclear plant. In almost half a century has not been possible to remedy the source of these nuclear disaster, which continue as the root problems of cooling infrastructure.

disaster Anthropology (Garcia Acosta coord. 1996, Olivers-Smith and Hoffman eds. 1999) teaches us at least three things:
    disaster
  1. That tends to be analyzed by those who could be held liable as a strange fact isolated in society and history, but in reality there is continuity between the conditions in which there are and how to deal with them;
  2. disasters from happening almost always knew where that could happen. I was surprised that there had been signs that something terrible might happen to the reactors, but at this time the authorities of Japan and the companies operating plants vehemently deny that they had encountered problems earlier. In fact, the fact that the cooling remains a problem to us speaks to the continuity and long-term disasters (García Acosta 2004) and
  3. That pre-existing social relationships and the resulting disaster the latter do very difficult for radical transformation of social patterns, technology, culture and behavior, so that each disaster usually results in little preparation for possible replication.

I recently saw a series of photographs of Chernobyl, by David Schindler ( http://totallycoolpix.com/2011/01/chernobyl-25-years-later/ ), and I was struck by the manner in which they resemble the landscapes and structures in 'The Zone 'in the film Stalker (Mosfilm 1979), the great director Andrei Tarkovsky. It's like Tarkovsky and his team had traveled to the future the Chernobyl today, to create that movie. Strangely, in Ukraine people call 'The Zone' to the affected area. Will citing Tarkovsky?

For Chernobyl (Petryna 2002) has developed, after the nuclear disaster, a way of life that Petryna considered a form of 'biological citizenship', directly linked to claims of impairment of health, such and so the residents of 'The Zone' in Ukraine using their own poor health condition to survive, either through grants to households 'affected' or through networks of relationships that allow those who live there survive conditions of great health and psychological problems. The Ukrainian State, meanwhile, has managed to be seen as the benefactor and the people of Chernobyl, despite the economic and infrastructure assistance to the area is limited, and that people have had to give up idea of \u200b\u200bnormal health as in order to survive.

This alerts us to another common feature of the disaster, many people try and sometimes fail to use the disaster as a way to earn prestige in politics and / or obtain money profiting from the international aid itself. Several sites have appeared on the Internet to cheat online money donors, and stay some of the money that people are donating to the relief and rescue efforts for victims of the earthquake, tsunami and the nuclear tragedy that is unfolding. This phenomenon does not seem to stop phishing even before the immense pain and hardship that these disasters have caused.

Japan has been characterized by a high level of preparedness against potential natural disasters, beginning with earthquakes and tsunamis. The anti-tsunami barrier separating the city of Sendai coast shows this aspect of Japanese culture. It certainly seems strange that so many reactors are having problems right now, even those that have been completely turned off. It is assumed that when the reactors shut down to almost zero in danger.

The main enemy of Japan and indeed all of us at this point seems to be the air: aerial currents are natural (and perhaps the sea) that will determine the impact that this major disaster in Japan will have , in the near future, about our biological citizenship, and also on our level of concern about our common future in this world that can not only conceptualize only as 'global', but as a biological, ecological and radio-interconnected.
