Aspired communities: Reconsidering community in light of the temporal dimensionality of social life Anthropological Theory (IF 2.078) Pub Date : 2024-02-28 Pilvi Posio
I argue in this article that our understanding of community is enhanced by examining the formation of collective aspirations for a shared future. Using examples from my fieldwork on long-term community recovery after the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011 in the town of Yamamoto, I illustrate the potential of using the social process of collective aspiring as an analytical tool in theorizing and studying

Towards a critical anthropology of the (de)creative turn in heritage Anthropological Theory (IF 2.078) Pub Date : 2024-02-27 Peter Bille Larsen, Florence Graezer Bideau
Heritage processes are today increasingly entangled with multiple forms and discourses of creativity. Connections between creativity and heritage form part of a new consensual authorised discourse, where creativity and (heritage) entrepreneurship are projected as mutually beneficial in a win-win scenario, while co-existing with ever-more visible practices of destruction and loss. Challenging the celebratory

Charity and grace Anthropological Theory (IF 2.078) Pub Date : 2022-01-10 João Pina-Cabral
This essay attempts to reconcile charity with grace, the central concepts of two thinkers whose views may seem irreconcilable to many: Donald Davidson, an analytical philosopher and the most distinguished follower of Quine; and Julian Pitt-Rivers, an Europeanist anthropologist, who wrote at length on Spain and Southern France. The latter's historicist exegesis of gracia points to basic aspects of human

Sovereignty as new beginnings: Action beyond the liberal subject, among undercover police investigators in Europe, for example Anthropological Theory (IF 2.078) Pub Date : 2022-01-06 Gregory Feldman
This article argues that Schmitt's “state of exception” is only one expression of the deeper sovereign phenomenon, specifically the human capacity to inaugurate new beginnings in shared space. Sovereign action thus includes anything from Schmitt's vertically-imposed state of exception, which eliminates political subjecthood, to the thrill of horizontally-arranged movements, which enable it. To make

This article explores the ecology of late-modern askesis through the concept of ‘ethical infrastructure’: the array of goods, locales, technologies, procedures, and sundry pieces of equipment upon which the possibility of ethicists’ striving is premised. By looking at the ethnographic case of halal living among Muslim pietists in post-Soviet Tatarstan (Russia), I advance a framework that highlights

The ontological turn revisited: Theoretical decline. Why cannot ontologists fulfil their promise? Anthropological Theory (IF 2.078) Pub Date : 2021-11-01 Martin Palecek
Holbraad and Pedersen have revisited the ontological turn, suggesting that it is strictly concerned with methodology only. Holbraad goes even further, accepting an aesthetic criterion for ethnography only. This is a sign of theoretical decline. In my paper, I claim that ontologists’ tendency to overestimate the significance of ethnographic experience causes theoretical confusion. I claim that neo-pragmatic

Corporate sovereignty: Negotiating permissive power for profit in Southern Africa Anthropological Theory (IF 2.078) Pub Date : 2021-09-06 Tessa Diphoorn, Nikkie Wiegink
The growing engagement with sovereignty in anthropology has resulted in a range of concepts that encapsulate how various (non-state) actors execute power. In this paper, we further unpack the concept of ‘corporate sovereignty’ and outline its conceptual significance. Corporate sovereignty refers to performative claims to power undertaken by (individuals aligned to) corporate entities with profit-making

Eleven Namibian rains: A phenomenological analysis of experience in time Anthropological Theory (IF 2.078) Pub Date : 2021-08-09 Michael Schnegg
The Damara pastoralists (ǂnūkhoen) in Namibia distinguish a diverse range of rains. Some rains kill livestock, others care for insects and still others wash away the footprints of the deceased, allowing the person to exist in the spirit realm. While anthropologists have documented cultural classifications like the Namibian rains for decades, we still lack a convincing theory to explain how they come

Anthropology and the politics of alterity: A Latin American dialectic and its relevance for ontological anthropologies Anthropological Theory (IF 2.078) Pub Date : 2021-07-25 Sian Lazar
Recent anglophone ontological anthropologies have an important Latin American intellectual and political history that is rarely fully acknowledged.

Classification revisited: On time, methodology and position in decolonizing anthropology Anthropological Theory (IF 2.078) Pub Date : 2021-06-29 Peter Pels
Renewed calls for decolonizing anthropology in the 21st century raise the question of what work earlier waves of decolonization since the 1960s have left undone. Some of this work should focus on the classification of human differences, which figured prominently in all phases of the discipline’s history: as a methodology in its racist phases, as an object of study during its late colonial phase of

In this article, we outline a critical phenomenology of potentiality as it emerges in life with dementia. Foregrounding the sources of everyday creativity that are part of life with dementia, we propose a critical counter-argument to that of dementia as a form of living death. Our ethnographic vantage point is an episode we encountered during fieldwork at a dementia unit in Denmark. Here, one of the

Controlling academics: Power and resistance in the archipelago of post-COVID-19 audit regimes Anthropological Theory (IF 2.078) Pub Date : 2021-06-04 John Welsh
Government response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic promises to entrench austerity politics deeper into the organization of academic life, and audit regimes are the likely means of achieving this. Redoubled efforts to understand the operation of audit as a strategic technology of control are therefore clearly a priority. A distinctly anthropological literature has emerged over recent years to analyse

Governing the future through scenaristic and simulative modalities of imagination Anthropological Theory (IF 2.078) Pub Date : 2021-05-21 Limor Samimian-Darash
In this article, I examine several expressions of imaginative practices to unpack the umbrella term scenario. Drawing on my long-term fieldwork on Israel’s annual Turning Point exercises, I examine actual uses of scenarios and distinguish between two different logics of imaginative practices and the modalities in which the future is governed by them, which I refer to as the scenaristic and the simulative

Between shame and a shared world: Toward a democratized theory of heterodoxical awareness Anthropological Theory (IF 2.078) Pub Date : 2021-05-02 Jonathan DeVore
This article develops a democratized account of heterodoxy that draws attention to how heterodoxical discourses may implicitly arise through social interaction. The analysis is based on one rural Brazilian woman’s claim that it tastes better to eat beans and rice by using one’s fingers. Formerly common in Brazil prior to the 20th century—across identities, regions, and classes—the practice of “eating

The ghosts of progress: contradictory materialities of the capitalist Golden Age Anthropological Theory (IF 2.078) Pub Date : 2021-02-16 Eric Pineault
This theoretical contribution will examine the process of displacement of the constitutive contradictions of advanced capitalist societies from interior to exterior during the postwar era known as the ‘capitalist Golden Age’ (1945 to 1980).

In this article, we examine the making of austerity as common sense, located at the intersection of state interventions and the everyday practices and moral logics through which austerity emerges as an acceptable livelihood possibility for individuals, households and communities. Our argument is based on a comparative analysis of austerity in Italy and Portugal, with a focus on popular austerities

Political discontent and labour in a post-growth region: A view from East Germany Anthropological Theory (IF 2.078) Pub Date : 2021-02-07 Stefan Schmalz, Ingo Singe, Anne Hasenohr
The article traces the political economy and labour relations in East Thuringia, a ‘post-growth region’ in East Germany with a structurally weak periphery and a declining populace. We argue that the regional decline results from a process of peripheralization which has led to economic stagnation and a shrinking population, and also has fostered political discontent.

Eating ourselves out of industrial excess? Degrowth, multi-species conviviality and the micro-politics of cultured meat Anthropological Theory (IF 2.078) Pub Date : 2021-02-03 Lars Gertenbach, Jörn Lamla, Stefan Laser
To address the relationship between the crises of capitalist growth and democratic politics, this paper discusses the notions of degrowth and conviviality. Both concepts are often interpreted as making similar proposals in response to questions of environmental transformation. However, they bear on different strands of critique. While degrowth criticizes the momentum of capitalist accumulation, conviviality

The crisis in Greece in the last decade has led to a wide economic transition, raising the question of whether Greece can be understood as a kind of a ‘post-growth’ society. The article has two aims. First, it examines how the Greek crisis has been discussed within the post-growth debate and focuses on three views: Greece as a post-growth anti-paradigm, Greece as an opportunity for democratic post-growth

From democracy at others’ expense to externalization at democracy’s expense: Property-based personhood and citizenship struggles in organized and flexible capitalism Anthropological Theory (IF 2.078) Pub Date : 2021-01-20 Dennis Eversberg
This contribution investigates the anthropological foundations of European democracies’ continuous entanglement with economic and military expansionism and a hierarchical separation between public and private spheres, both of which have enabled the appropriation of nature and others’ labour as property on which citizens’ abstract personhood could be founded. Drawing on an argument made by David Graeber

‘PC worlds’: Ethno-nationalist identitarian theories of anti-political correctness Anthropological Theory (IF 2.078) Pub Date : 2020-12-01 Anne-Christine Trémon
Over the past two decades, politicians and intellectuals have lent support to rising anti-immigrant sentiments, ethno-nationalist integralism and far-right populism by coining expressions such as ‘cultural exclusion’ and claiming to be speaking in the name of the ‘people’, often under cover of anti-political correctness. In this article I identify a series of recurrent features of such ethno-nationalist

The citizen as mere human: Litigating denationalization in post-9/11 UK Anthropological Theory (IF 2.078) Pub Date : 2020-07-08 Caylee Hong
Since the publication of The Origins of Totalitarianism in 1951, Hannah Arendt’s phrase the ‘right to have rights’ and her claim that having rights depends on belonging to and being recognized by ‘some kind of organized community’ have become key provocations on citizenship, statelessness and human rights. Arendt, however, has been criticized as perpetuating a state-centric framework that scholars
