Home AAS Organisation About AAS Thesis Prizes ... Invoice / Receipt Members Login Username: Password: Forgotten password Home The Australian Anthropological Society represents the anthropologists of Australia. The goals of the Society are to promote the advancement of anthropology as a professional discipline grounded in the systematic pursuit of knowledge, to promote its responsible use in the service of humankind, and to promote professional training and practice in anthropology. AAS supports the development of the discipline in university departments and schools at graduate and post-graduate level. Through its annual conference, journal, newsletter and online publications the Society provides forums where anthropologists can engage in debates central to anthropological theory and practice. While historically associated with small-scale societies which were remote from the centres of world power, increasingly anthropologists have become involved in analysing the board-room as well as the bar-room, sporting tribes and nomadic professionals as well as wider systems such as capitalism and processes such as globalisation. We identify the myths of the rational as well as rationality among the mystics. Anthropology makes strange worlds familiar and the familiar world strange. Anthropological work is broad in scope and includes academic research, teaching, consultancies and public commentary. The geographic position and colonial history of Australia have led to the development of leading anthropological scholarship and practice in the fields of Australian Aboriginal, Melanesian and other Pacific studies as well as Indigenous land claims and native title.

Cultural studies researchers often concentrate on how a particular phenomenon relates to matters of ideology, race, social class, and/or gender. Cultural studies concerns itself with the meaning and practices of everyday life. Cultural practices comprise the ways people do particular things (such as watching television, or eating out) in a given culture. Particular meanings attach to the ways people in particular cultures do things.

The silence has to do with. . . that much used and abused, dearly beloved sacred cow. . . called 'culture'. In the two weeks following the AIDS 2000 Conference, incidences have impressed upon me, once again, the hopeless situation of women in the face of AIDS. . . Thandi, shortly after her wedding, inherited two orphaned children from her sister-in-law who had died of AIDS. Now, a second sister-in-law is dying of AIDS, and her sickly baby has constant diarrhoea. What bothers Thandi is the fact that she is a trained nurse, equipped with knowledge that might be helpful: but as a sister-in-law, in her husband's home, and one without a child of her own, she dare not open her mouth. How could she suggest that there might be something seriously wrong with the baby? They would say that she is jealous. . . She keeps quiet. Perhaps she herself will be the next sister-in-law in that home to go down in silence. . .

Still, members of every culture believe that their way of doing things is normal. If we look at the world from the viewpoint of people living in a particular society, we can easily point to the ordinary pleasures, rituals and taboos that the culture associates with its food. But ordinary does not only mean normal; it also means order or rule. In its nominal form, an "ordinary" refers to the same meal served from day to day, at the same price. Order and food are joined as well at the seder, or Passover meal, prepared by Jews to celebrate their escape from Egypt and liberation from slavery in the days of Moses. We might therefore consider "ordinary" in the title of this section as the rules people use to orderor give order towhat and how they eat. There was a time in Anthropology when leading figures in the field tried to determine the rules of a culture by analyzing detailed sets of ethnographic data and making order out of them. For nearly two decades, for example, the French anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss studied what people ate and how different cultures prepared their food, through their myths, in order to identify the underlying structures of human thought. In every culture, he tells us in The Raw and the Cooked (1964), people put the food they eat into three broadly defined categories, two natural (raw and rotten), one mediated by cultural intervention (cooked). To help visualize the relationship, Levi-Strauss imagines a "culinary triangle":

Womanist Theology, Epistemology, And A New Anthropological Paradigm | Cross Curr African American women s experiences of oppression and marginalization have led them to espouse a religious framework that would give them the regard society has deprived them. http://www.findarticles.com/cf_0/m2096/4_48/54064297/print.jhtml

Thomas Next Womanist theologians can bring the experience and knowledge of the marginalized to the center by standing aside to let the community speak for itself. Womanist Theology in the USA Womanist theology is critical reflection upon black women's place in the world that God has created and takes seriously black women's experience as human beings who are made in the image of God. The categories of life which black women deal with daily (that is, race, womanhood, and political economy) are intricately woven into the religious space that African American women occupy. Therefore the harmful and empowering dimensions of the institutional church, culture, and society impact the social construction of black womanhood. Womanist theology affirms and critiques the positive and negative attributes of the church, the African American community, and the larger society. Womanist theology's goals are to interrogate the social construction of black womanhood in relation to the African American community. The normative discourse among African American women creates the space for an energetic claiming of the life stories of African American women and their contribution to the history of the United States and the African diaspora. An additional way of achieving this goal is to engage in a critical conversation with black (male) theology so that a full theology for the African American community can emerge from that dialogue. Likewise the pursuance of the black family's sanctity ranks high on the womanist's theological agenda. Another the goal of womanist theology is to unearth the ethnographic sources within the African American community in order to reconstruct knowledge and overcome subordination. And, finally, womanist theology seeks to decolonize the African mind and to affirm our African heritage.
