From AGROVOC to the Agricultural Ontology Service / Concept Server
No full textThis paper illustrates the conversion from a traditional thesaurus in agriculture (AGROVOC) to a new system, the Agricultural Ontology Service Concept Server (AOS/CS). The Concept Server will serve as a multilingual repository of concepts in the agricultural domain providing
ontological relationships and a rich, semantically sound terminology. The Food and
Agriculture Organization recently developed the underlying model for this new system in the Web ontology language OWL. In this paper, we describe the purpose of this conversion and the use of OWL and highlight in particular the core features of the developed OWL model.
We go on to explain how it evolves and differs from the traditional thesaurus approach

Situando la etnografía y los procesos globales
No full textIn meinem Beitrag geht es mir darum, das Verhältnis von lokal / global in eine konkret erforschbare Dimension rücken. Dafür greife ich die Konzept-Metapher der Landschaft – landscape – auf, die APPADURAI (1998 [1991]) in seiner radikalen Argumentation einer entterritorialisierten Welt formuliert hat und verknüpfe diese theoretische Perspektive mit dem methodologischen Entwurf einer "multi-sited ethnography", wie ihn George MARCUS (1998) in seiner Aufsatzsammlung Ethnography through Thick and Thin vorschlägt. In ethnographischen Vignetten aus meiner Forschung zur philippinischen Heiratsmigration in transnationaler Perspektive ("Ein guter Mann ist harte Arbeit!", LAUSER 2004a) schaue ich anschließend konkret auf einige kulturelle Dynamiken und Verflechtungen von globalen, lokalen und persönlichen Angelegenheiten in einer enträumlichten Welt. Die Frage der Lokalisierungen wird mit einem starken Plädoyer für die ethnographische Forschungspraxis verbunden, die mehr denn je den Verortungen des Sprechens, Schreibens und Forschens sorgfältige Aufmerksamkeit zu widmen hat.
URN: urn:nbn:de:0114-fqs050374This article begins by interrogating the problem of the "global" and the "local" in anthropology and asks how their interconnections might be handled by theory and methodology. Ethnographic sites are "globalized" by means of various connections across multiple spatial scales and porous and contested boundaries. Global ethnographers, therefore, must begin their analyses by seeking out ethnographic sites and focusing on questions of location. In order to do this, I use the concept-metaphor—landscape (which APPADURAI [1991] introduced to theorize the complex interaction between global and local processes, experiences and connections)—and link it with the design of multi-sited ethnography (which George MARCUS formulated in his volume Ethnography through Thick and Thin [1998]). In this article I sketch several ethnographic sites from my research on marriage migration in trans-national perspectives ("Ein guter Mann ist harte Arbeit!", LAUSER 2004a) and demonstrate the variety of ways in which Philippine trans-national marriage migration is intertwined in complex and paradoxical ways with global, local and personal matters. Ethnographic research in a globalized world can not escape the issues of location or situatedness. I make a strong plea, therefore, for paying even greater attention to locations in writing, speaking and researching.
URN: urn:nbn:de:0114-fqs050374Este artículo comienza interrogándose por el problema de lo "global" y lo "local" en antropología y preguntando cómo deben manejarse sus interconexiones desde la teoría y la metodología. Los sitios etnográficos son "globalizados" por medio de varias conexiones en múltiples escalas espaciales, porosas y con fronteras debatidas. Por lo tanto, los etnógrafos globales deben comenzar sus análisis buscando lugares etnográficos y centrándose en cuestiones de localización. Para hacer eso, yo utilizo el concepto-metáfora de paisaje (introducido por APPADURAI [1991] para teorizar la interacción compleja entre procesos globales y locales, experiencias y conexiones) y lo vinculo al diseño de etnografía multi-situada (que George MARCUS formulara en su libro "Etnografía contra viento y marea" [1998]). En este artículo esbozo varios sitios etnográficos a partir de mi investigación sobre matrimonios emigrantes en perspectivas trans-nacionales ("Ein guter Mann ist harte Arbeit!", LAUSER 2004a) y demuestro la variedad de formas en donde el matrimonio emigrante trans-nacional filipino se entrelaza compleja y paradójicamente con cuestiones globales, locales y personales. La investigación etnográfica en un mundo globalizado no puede huir de los aspectos de localización o situación. Por tanto, hago una sólida petición que se preste mayor atención a las localizaciones en la escritura, el discurso hablado y la investigación.

Letter of concern from Boris Drasin, President of the Jersey Homesteads Industrial Cooperative Association
No full textJersey Homesteads (later renamed the Borough of Roosevelt) was established in the 1930s as an agro-industrial cooperative community. It was established specifically for urban Jewish garment workers, many of whome had emigrated from Europe. In this letter, Boris Drasin, a community leader who was the President of the Jersey Homesteads Industrial Cooperative Association, expresses his concerns to their management corporation (Consumers Wholesale Clothiers, Inc.) about how financial losses will impact the lives of Roosevelt's residents, three-fourths of whom depended on the garment factory for their livelihoods. He makes suggestions as to how the situation might be improved

Ghost movies, the makers, and their audiences: Andrea Lauser in conversation with the filmmakers Katarzyna Ancuta and Solarsin Ngoenwichit from Thailand and Mattie Do from Laos
No full textGhost Movies in Southeast Asia and Beyond explores ghost movies, one of the most popular film genres in East and Southeast Asia, by focusing on movie narratives, the cultural contexts of their origins and audience reception. In the middle of the Asian crisis of the late 1990s, ghost movies became major box office hits. The emergence of the phenomenally popular "J-Horror" genre inspired similar ghost movie productions in Korea, Thailand, Taiwan, Hong Kong, the Philippines and Singapore. Ghost movies are embedded and reflected in national as well as transnational cultures and politics, in narrative traditions, in the social worlds of the audience, and in the perceptual experience of each individual. They reflect upon the identity crises and traumas of the living as well as of the dead, and they unfold affection and attraction in the border zone between amusement and thrill, secular and religious worldviews. This makes the genre interesting not only for sociologists, anthropologists, media and film scholars, but also for scholars of religio
