A Critique of Popular Political Economies of Knowledge in Cyberspace

David Hakken; Indiana University

Anthropology; Informatics; Marxism ; Cyberspace; knowledge; Theory of Value

Anthropology; Queer Studies; Latin American Studies ; Puerto Rico; HIV/AIDS; ACT UP

Following from the analysis of unstructured interviews conducted with members of the first AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power's (ACT UP!)

Conceptions of Hegemony in Antonio Gramsci’s Southern Question and the Prison Notebooks

Ercan Gündoğan; Universum University College, Pristine, Kosovo

politics ; hegemony, state, civil society, revolution

The article focuses on Antonio Gramsci’s Southern Question and the Prison Notebooks and tries to demonstrate that he just re-theorises the formative stages of class power beginning from economic relations to political power, in other words, ruling class power developing from civil hegemony into political hegemony along the lines of classical Marxist texts. For Gramsci, hegemony does not only refer to ideological and cultural leadership of the ruling groups and classes over the ...

Kristen E.G. Hudgins; University of South Carolina, Columbia

Anthropology; Applied Anthropology ; participatory research; community; collaboration; implementation; sustainability

This paper draws on my experiences creating and implementing the South Carolina Migrant Farmworker Resource Project, an activist endeavor with an anthropological approach.

Political Sociology and Anthropology in Education

Michael Joseph Francisconi; University of Montana Western

Anthropology, Sociology, Marxism ; Political, Sociology, Anthropology

Political Sociology is the study of power in a social setting. Political sociology explores the everyday experiences of people and the shaping of their economic position in a particular society, and the world economy that molds most political issues. Anthropology gives this analysis a historical and cross-cultural reference point, supplementing sociology. We professors must engage in seditious sabotage within the ranks of the university and call everything into question, including ...
