Power and Language

The Unilearning project has developed a website that provides students with academic writing and study skills instruction. The development of the website has involved partnerships in three key areas. These are: a partnership between teaching and technology, a partnership between teaching and learning, and a partnership between theory and practice.

"""The resemblance of Yu. Bromley's definition of 'ethnos' to Stalin's definition of ‘nation’ is taken as a starting point in unraveling the history of borrowings in theoretical conceptualization of ethnic and national phenomena in Soviet academia. The origin of some traits of ‘ethnos’ as understood by Bromley and his colleagues is traced to Austro-Marxist legacy and Italian nationalists of the XIX-th century
В статье прослеживается одна из линий преемственности в разработке советской теории этноса, восходящая к наследию австро-марксистов и их критиков, а также к работам итальянских националистов XIX века. Статья иллюстрирует роль заимствований и отношения традиции и инновации в истории советской этнографии.
Заимствование (междисциплинарное, или из другой исследовательской традиции в той же дисциплине) остается плохо отрефлексированным механизмом развития науки, как, впрочем и интеграция инноваций. В статье сделана попытка приложения концепций Гарольда Блума, анализировавшего заимствования и инновации в поэтике к истории  идей в российской антропологии.
