Ethnographic methodologies developed in social anthropology and sociology hold considerable promise for addressing practical, problem-based research concerned with the construction site. The extended researcher-engagement characteristic of ethnography reveals rich insights, yet is infrequently used to understand how workplace realities are lived out on construction sites. Moreover, studies that do employ these methods are rarely reported within construction research journals. This paper argues that recent innovations in ethnographic methodologies offer new routes to: posing questions; understanding workplace socialities (i.e. the qualities of the social relationships that develop on construction sites); learning about forms, uses and communication of knowledge on construction sites; and turning these into meaningful recommendations. This argument is supported by examples from an interdisciplinary ethnography concerning migrant workers and communications on UK construction sites. The presented research seeks to understand how construction workers communicate with managers and each other and how they stay safe on site, with the objective of informing site health-and-safety strategies and the production and evaluation of training and other materials.

This is a book about solar collectors and the place of these artefacts in a political energy debate that has aroused strong feelings in Sweden during the last twenty-five years. It is a book about the hopes for a less polluted earth, which solar collectors have come to symbolise, and a book about the ways in which problems in utilising solar energy are culturally perceived. One main aims of this study has been to find out more about the conflicting perceptions of solar collectors as 'saviours of the world' and simultaneously as uninteresting or less credible artefacts that 'may come in the future'. Another main purpose of the study has been to describe and explain those cultural processes of modification that are taking place around solar collectors in active attempts to integrate these into established cultural structures.

Crowd-pulling names or energetic activists? On symbolic capital as a power resource in the local organizational work within the global justice movement The article explores the global emergence of local Social Forums by means of an ethnographic study of the organization of the Stockholm Social Forum. In international academic debate, the forums are often discussed as a “globalization from below” and a new deliberative democratic process. However, empirical research on the organizational process, and its power relations, has been very limited. The theoretical concept symbolic capital (Bourdieu) and concepts from conversation analysis (CA) are used to analyze how power in terms of priority of interpretation is constructed in conversations between activists with differing political backgrounds. A detailed empirical analysis is based on the case of an internal discussion about inviting keynote speakers to the local forum. The results show how transnational networks and specific knowledge about the global social forum process became symbolic capital in the organizational process. Holders of this specific form of symbolic capital gained priority of interpretation in the internal discussions. This had an impact on the practical outcome of the organizational process in terms of the symbolic framing of the Social Forum. It is argued that the social forum process produces specific forms of cultural distinctions, social hierarchies and patterns of exclusion.

Between ethnology and sociology: K. Rob. V. Wikman as a mediator in Finland and Sweden K. Rob. V. Wikman, professor in sociology at the Åbo Akademi University in Turku, Finland, played a central role both within Finnish and Swedish sociology in the 1940s and 1950s. He was a student of Westermarck and thus his own research represented an ethnosociological tradition, which at that time was challenged by modern, American-influenced sociological ideas. The aim of this article is to discuss the adaptation of “modern sociology” and the drawing of boundaries in Nordic sociology after the Second World War by focusing on Wikman’s work in Finnish as well as Swedish sociology, especially the assessor assignments he was given, and by giving emphasis to some of those that served as border poles or border markers in this process. The comparative starting point gives us reason to discuss some nationally characterized similarities and differences that can be observed in the establishment process of modern sociology in Finland and Sweden.

Esta pesquisa bibliográfica procurou levantar os periódicos, as Teses e Dissertações da Pós-Graduação em Antropologia Social de três universidades (Unicamp, Universidade de Brasília e o Museu Nacional) que analisassem o método etnográfico para a abordagem da Cultura das Organizações. Levanta, também, algumas reflexões a respeito da Antropologia das sociedades complexas.

Este estudo trata do crescimento econômico de um setor que consome recursos naturais não-renováveis, o setor minerometálico, e do processo de desenvolvimento sustentável na Amazônia oriental, no estado do Pará. Desde os anos 1980, o segmento minerometálico do Pará vem crescendo de forma acelerada. As empresas ali instaladas - Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (CVRD), Mineração Rio do Norte (MRN) e Alumínio Brasileiro S.A. (Albras) - são líderes globais nas suas respectivas áreas de atuação e necessitam estar ajustadas às normas socioambientais; por isso, quase todas são certificadas social e ambientalmente. A conquista dessas certificações é um forte indício de que essas empresas compartilham dos preceitos da sustentabilidade. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste estudo é verificar a relação entre essas certificações e o processo de desenvolvimento sustentável das áreas onde essas empresas estão instaladas, considerando-se que são regiões carentes. A partir dos fundamentos conceituais do desenvolvimento sustentável e de uma perspectiva espacial e setorial, a pesquisa apresenta os principais indicadores do segmento minerometálico do Pará, além do perfil socioambiental de suas mais importantes empresas. É feito ainda um breve histórico da recente evolução do processo de certificações socioambientais no Brasil. A partir de uma série de indicadores, é discutido não apenas se essas certificações contribuem para o desenvolvimento sustentável, mas se também se são importantes para que essas organizações se mantenham competitivas. A conclusão é que os aspectos positivos dessas ações ainda são muito mais visíveis no desempenho econômico das empresas do que no desenvolvimento socioeconômico do entorno delas. Da mesma forma, é verificado que as certificações socioambientais inspiradas no desenvolvimento sustentável ainda têm um viés muito mais ecológico do que social.

Este artigo aparece como uma tentativa de compreensão do fenômeno da agressão em seus múltiplos aspectos, tarefa para a qual contaremos com os referenciais teóricos advindos da Etologia e da Antropologia Social. Para melhor expressar as idéias aqui expostas utilizaremos o cinema como recurso etnográfico. Neste sentido, destacaremos alguns trechos do filme Sob o Domínio do Medo (1971), os quais serão trabalhados em maiores detalhes.

The main purpose of this article is to investigate the most frequent simple terms as well as fixed and semi-fixed expressions in Social Anthropology of Civilization subarea in Portuguese and their corresponding terms in English, found in two works written by the anthropologist Darcy Ribeiro. The methodology used is that of Corpus-Based Translation Studies (BAKER, 1995, 1996, 1997; CAMARGO, 2005, 2007), Corpus Linguistics (BERBER SARDINHA, 2004) and Terminology (BARROS, 2004; KRIEGER &FINATTO, 2004). Results show that there are similarities and differences among the use of the terms in the main subcorpora composed of source and target texts and in the comparable corpora in Portuguese and in English. This data indicate that terms and expressions are not univocal in the anthropological language due to the differences in the conceptualization of the same referents by different specialists in the area.
