Sommario/riassunto

Basato su un'ampia ricerca storica ed etnografica, questo libro si propone di esplorare il peronismo ripercorrendo i momenti chiave dei suoi oltre settant'anni di storia politica per svelare i molteplici significati che ha avuto per gruppi diversi in tempi diversi. Gli eventi del 17 ottobre 1945, l'irruzione conflittuale di nuovi protagonisti politici sulla scena pubblica (i descamisados), le fasi cruciali dei primi anni Settanta che videro coinvolti i montoneros, l'ascesa al potere di Carlos Menem negli anni Novanta, la crisi del 2001 e l'emergere del kirchnerismo; sono questi i passaggi fondamentali raccontati da Alejandro Grimson per inquadrare un fenomeno complesso e controverso come il peronismo. Come scrive lo stesso autore, infatti, «rinunciare a comprenderlo significa rinunciare a comprendere l'Argentina». (Fonte: editore)

Sommario/riassunto

Day-to-day activities are important in the development of social identities, the establishment of social standing, and the communal understanding of societal rules. This perspective is broadly referred to as practice theory and relates to the power of an overarching social structure and the individual actors that exist within it. Practice theory has made an important contribution to anthropological and archaeological research as these fields are particularly interested in daily life and the importance of these actions. This volume argues that practice theory can also be used in a bioarchaeological context through the examination of human skeletal remains and the archaeological context in which they were excavated. Bioarchaeology offers a unique perspective on these day-to-day experiences—skeletal tissue is constantly undergoing a process of change and, as a living biological system, it can adapt to external forces. Furthermore, bioarchaeological studies are multi-scalar and can examine individuals, groups, or entire populations. Using osteological indicators of activity patterns (entheseal changes, osteoarthritis) and dietary isotopes (carbon,



nitrogen) as examples, this book addresses patterns of everyday life in the ancient past. Physical activities and food consumption are actions that are carried out on a daily basis. While bioarchaeology does not have the ability to recreate specific day-to-day activities, we can assess broad trends in everyday life. The volume illustrates these points using examples from the Ancient Nile Valley. Through the examination of over 800 Egyptian and Nubian individuals from five different archaeological sites, the research addresses patterns of everyday life as they relate to social inequality, agency, and practice. Beyond osteological indicators of activity and dietary patterns, this book also discusses additional methods that can be pursed to draw attention to daily life. Lastly, this book also highlights the applicability of and potential contribution that practice theory can make to this area of research.
