This Afterword provides an opportunity to consider the contribution of the assembled articles to our understanding of the expansion and exposure of culturally intimate information in the age of social media and uncivil populism. The new international style of bully politics creates special problems for anthropological ethics, in which anthropologists must increasingly accept responsibility for the social and political impact of their research without yielding to—and, indeed, while actively resisting—the neoliberal counter-ethics of blame (or “responsibilization”). Within that contentious geopolitical reality, discretion, new understandings of political strength, and cultural solidarity, and even displays of weakness and subservience may create opportunities for social solidarity. The world is in cultural flux, and the concomitant precariousness and deep provisionality of social experience mandate a flexible analytical style and a realization that collective intimacy is a fundamental resource, not only for the bureaucratic nation-state, but for all organizational structures, including our own academic discipline.

此后记提供了一个机会，可以考虑汇编的文章对我们对社交媒体和非民粹主义时代的文化上亲密信息的扩展和暴露的理解的贡献。新型的国际霸凌政治风格为人类学伦理学带来了特殊问题，在这种情况下，人类学家必须越来越多地承担起研究工作对社会和政治影响的责任，同时又不屈服于（实际上是在积极抵制）新自由主义的反伦理道德（或“责任”）。在这个有争议的地缘政治现实中，谨慎，对政治力量和文化团结的新理解，甚至表现出软弱和自卑，都可能为社会团结创造机会。世界在文化的动荡中
