Anxieties around the moral effects of states of ‘dependence’ remain central to political and social debate across the world. At a time when the association between wage‐labour and a particular valorised conception of adult male independence is increasingly hard to sustain, these contests can take on new forms and new levels of intensity. Anthropology has a potentially valuable contribution to make to these discussions, having long made descriptions of particular forms of ‘dependence’ central to many of its most distinctive analytic framings. Nonetheless, the concept of ‘dependence’ itself has rarely been explicitly theorised in anthropological theory, as opposed to other concepts with which it has often been theoretically entwined, such as ‘exchange’, ‘reciprocity’ or ‘debt’, which have been subjected to more concerted theoretical investigation. The papers in this collection provide a series of comparative ethnographic explorations of the role of dependence in shaping new forms of sociality across the globe, as a contribution to the development of an anthropological understanding of the continued evolution of the term’s meaning and effect in the 21st century.

依赖状态:简介

关于“依赖”状态的道德影响的焦虑仍然是全世界政治和社会辩论的核心。在工资劳动与特殊的成年男性独立性观念之间的联系越来越难以维持的时候,这些竞赛可以采取新的形式和新的强度。人类学对这些讨论做出了潜在的宝贵贡献,长期以来,人们对特定形式的“依赖”进行了描述,而这种依赖是许多其最独特的分析框架的核心。但是,“依赖”这个概念本身很少在人类学理论中被明确地理论化,与之相比,在理论上经常与之交织的其他概念,例如“交换”,“互惠”或“债务”,已经受到了人类的理论依赖。进行更协调的理论研究。
