“…. to anyone reading the whole book' (Clifford, 1999). It was apparently not so obvious to Rabinow (1986), whose own contribution to the volume agreed with many of the concerns later voiced by other anthropologists when he argued that, while the critique was about anthropological works, in its present incarnation it was not anthropological.…”

In the 1980s, the publication of three works, `Ethnographies as Texts', Writing Culture, and Anthropology as Cultural Critique, signaled the arrival of a significantly literary project claimed as a critique of anthropology, widely reviewed and discussed at the time (both pro and con). These works have continued to have a major impact on anthropological practice, particularly in the United States. In this article, I return to these `early works' in the literary project, as well as to Geertz's `Thick Description', which I see as seminal to their production. I argue that the `crisis of representation' claimed in these works is a misrepresentation of the core intentions and efforts of the anthropological enterprise. The perspective presented here is one in which the focus on representation is seen as having encumbered rather than enlightened the work of anthropologists, and argues for an anthropology grounded in life, not literature.

“…A esto Robert y Meenakshi (2022) sostienen que el lenguaje se utiliza para transmitir información. No puede haber comunicación óptima sin lenguaje, sin embargo, hablar ha recibido poca atención en las escuelas y universidades debido a un enfoque en la gramática y una proporción desfavorable de maestro por alumno (Clifford, 1968).…”

El libro es una adaptación de una investigación presentada a la Universidad Nacional del Altiplano, cuyo objetivo fue investigar el impacto de la comunicación efectiva como método didáctico en el desarrollo de habilidades lingüísticas en inglés como tercera lengua en estudiantes de la Escuela de Educación Superior Técnico Profesional de la Policías Nacional del Perú, Filial Puno (EESTP - PNP - Puno); con el fin de abordar la dificultad en el aprendizaje del idioma inglés para los estudiantes andinos que tienen el quechua o el aimara como lengua materna, el español como segunda lengua y, debido a la adición de los actuales requisitos de competencia, el inglés como tercera lengua, centrándose en la lengua como competencia comunicativa que asimila, modela y elabora una base en relación con el mundo actual de forma activa. Para ello, trabajamos con dos grupos de alumnos del segundo ciclo de estudios de la EESTP – PNP – Puno: un grupo de control y un grupo experimental. El grupo de control estuvo conformado por treinta (30) alumnos y el grupo experimental con veintiocho (28) alumnos. Inicialmente, a ambos grupos se les tomó una prueba de entrada; y en seguida, solo al grupo experimental, durante las sesiones del curso de inglés, se le aplicó, la comunicación efectiva como estrategia didáctica para desarrollar las competencias lingüísticas del idioma inglés. Luego de un semestre académico, se toma una prueba de salida a ambos grupos. Y a partir de una comparación se concluye que, la comunicación efectiva impacta las habilidades lingüísticas del inglés como tercera lengua en los estudiantes andinos en un 91.67%, lo cual se considera dentro del logro destacado.

One of the major critical claims of this series is that the social and socio-spatial sciences, in their currently dominant form, cannot, for lack of a de-familiarising and recontexualising agenda, one that leads to an appropriate and continually tested strategy (praxis), effectively counter the normalised and naturalised forms and processes of late capitalist urbanisation, normalised by mainstream theory in the service of established power, and their extrapolation into a planetary future. Critical urban theory presents/presented a step forward but it is losing some critical momentum-hence the rise of assemblage theory-and thus purchase on present and future realities in its neglect of aspects of its own intellectual heritage, of 'extra-scientific' resources including the cognitive aspect of the arts/humanities and ordinary experience ('the university of the streets'), and in its too restrictive theoretical, spatial and temporal foundations. This episode begins a recontextualisation of that agenda in the light, particularly, of Gouldner's study of Romanticism and Classicism as deep structures in sociology, and Guattari's notion of 'three ecologies' in relation to praxis-that is, an interacting and critical mutuality of theorised practice and practised theory.
