    Abstract: This rich and detailed ethnographic study analyses the formation and spread of the Sungusungu movement that arose in the early 1980s among the Sukuma-Nyamwezi people in west-central Tanzania, south of Lake Victoria. In the wake of the international oil crisis in the 1970s, aggravated by the costly war with Uganda, Tanzania experienced a peroiod of deep economic and social crisis with inflation, collapsing markets, a shortage of basic commodities and a breakdown of law and order; signified by increasing levels of violent crime, such as organized cattle theft and banditry in the rural areas. Against this backdrop, people began to organize and arm themselves to cope with the disintegrating and malevolent forces they were experiencing, not only as an existential threat to their daily lives but to society at large, The quest for everday peace (mhola) was omnipresent when the Sungusungu movement swept like a bush-fire from village to villlage. Within only a couple of years, several million people were involved in or at least affected by the Sungusungu movement, whose emergence constituted a generic moment that sparked a process with far-reaching social, political and judicial repercussions. Based on long-term filedwork engagements and extensive literature review, Per Brandström analyses the trajectory of the movement from its early emergence as a genuine localized popular movement to an institution for community policing under state supervision and control.

    Abstract: Landscapes bear traces of the use of resources over long periods. These reflect not only ways of using, shaping, organising, controlling and exchanging resources, but also knowledge, perceptions, motivations for actions and related social dynamics. Resources can be material as well as immaterial and constitute the basis for the development and decline of societies. They are usually not exploited in isolation, but as parts of complexes whose specific constellation in time and space can be best described as assemblages. This topic was the subject of the session `Human-Made Environments: The Development of Landscapes as Resource Assemblages` held at the 24th Annual Meeting of the European Association of Archaeologists (Barcelona, 5-8 September 2018) and forms the basis of this volume. The general purpose is a debate on new concepts of the interrelation of social dynamics and resource use and a discussion of case studies in which landscapes were shaped to facilitate the utilisation of resources. The identification of what has been considered to be a resource is discussed as well as the means through which the corresponding landscapes were transformed and the results of these transformations. This implies not only material, but also spiritual aspects linked to the exploitation of resources. Since ResourceAssemblages are products of historical evolution and mutual relations the mechanisms of these processes are of great significance. Supreme aspects comprise the detection of a conscious human formation of landscapes in order to suit the exploitation of resources, the connected social practices as well as socio-cultural dynamics linked to the use of resources.

    Abstract: Innerhalb eines Jahres sind in Mali, Afghanistan und Guinea drei gewählte, zivile Regierungen zusammengebrochen. Die Machtergreifung durch das Militär in Mali und Guinea und durch die Taliban in Afghanistan war zwar mit Furcht vor Repressionen verbunden, aber viele Bürgerinnen und Bürger nahmen sie bereitwillig hin, weil die zivilen Vorgängerregierungen als korrupt und gescheitert wahrgenommen wurden. Diese Entwicklungen geben Anlass, die Legitimität von Regierungen in fragilen Staaten neu zu hinterfragen.Within just one year, the world witnessed the collapse of elected governments in Mali, Afghanistan, and Guinea. While the power grabs by military juntas in Mali and Guinea and by the Taliban in Afghanistan caused fear among the respective populations, many citizens were also willing to acquiesce to the overtaking forces, because the deposed civilian governments were perceived as failing and corrupt. These developments highlight important lessons about government legitimacy in fragile states.

    Abstract: The book delineates how the quest for wealth and belief manifests itself in contemporary Vietnam. Based on multi-local and longitudinal ethnographic research, the author examines how wealth is pursued by household members and entrepreneurs. The quest for belief is brought into relief through inquiry into how norms and values have been re-evaluated, altered, subverted or restored. Focusing on the taboo topic of female feticide, The study elucidates why some parents ultimately decide to commit feticide, and why others, especially entrepreneurs, refrain from it. The case of the entrepreneurs shows a possible way out of the "vicious circle" that leads to female feticide and perpetuates gender inequality. (Umschlagtext)

    Abstract: Dem Anschein nach haben viele afrikanische Länder die Coronavirus-Krise bislang gut bewältigt. Allerdings stellen die zögerliche Impfbereitschaft und eine drohende Rezession eine anhaltende Herausforderung für das Vertrauen in die Regierung dar. Um sich auch gegen zukünftige Krisen zu wappnen, müssen die Regierungen aktiv Vertrauen aufbauen. Die Ebola-Epidemie hat gezeigt, dass hierbei ein Bottom-up-Ansatz helfen kann, in dem bereits bestehende Netzwerke und Institutionen auf lokaler Ebene genutzt werden. In Kontexten, in denen die Befugnisse der Exekutive erweitert wurden, sollte die weitere Entwicklung besonders sorgfältig beobachtet werden. (Fazit)COVID-19, arguably the new millennium`s most trying test of state capacity, caught the world off guard. In order to contain the spread of the virus, gov ernments had to respond quickly and comprehensively: strict lockdowns, movement restrictions, masks, and social distancing - measures that draw not only on public resources but also on the buy-in and cooperation of civil society. Citizen compliance and cooperation are founded on trust in govern ment institutions. As such, the pandemic has also been a stress test for trust in government. (Verlagsangaben)

    Abstract: Why does the world need anthropology and anthropologists? This collection of essays written by prominent academic, practising and applied anthropologists aims to answer this provocative question.In an accessible and appealing style, each author in this volume inquires about the social value and practical application of the discipline of anthropology. Contributors note that the problems the world faces at a global scale are both new and old, unique and universal, and that solving them requires the use of long-proven tools as well as innovative approaches. They highlight that using anthropology in relevant ways outside academia contributes to the development of a new paradigm in anthropology, one where the ability to collaborate across disciplinary and professional boundaries becomes both central and legitimate. Contributors provide specific suggestions to anthropologists and the public at large on practical ways to use anthropology to change the world for the better.This one-of-a-kind volume will be of interest to fledgling and established anthropologists, social scientists and the general public.

    Abstract: The concept Diaspora applied to Africa is a misnomer of sorts, bearing in mind that Africa was the original home of the oldest human beings. Science has discussed how the earlier waves of emigrant Africans (humans originally domiciled in Africa) have adapted to their environment, becoming various shades as melanin presence dictated. Later groups are in India, Tonga, New Zealand, Australia, the Americas: black skinned, flat nose, but with various forms of stretchered out hair. These earlier groups are not called, technically, Diaspora. Only recent migrants to the West, Europe, Asia Minor, Asia and the Americas are called Diaspora: they migrated voluntarily for various reasons or they were forced out of Africa as captives. Part of the challenges that African Studies instigate are fraught because of (a) the participation of continental Africans in slavery wars in Eastern, Central Africa, Northern and Central Africa; (b) the Middle Passage of the Atlantic and the Sahara/Pacific; (c) the empty baggage syndrome and epistemicide and, (d) the Willie Lunch Syndrome of Divide and Conquer exemplified in Obama phenomenon. African studies writ large must then encompass (a) Repairing the Breach; (b) Recovering the Heritage - Calypso, Blues and Jazz, Reggae, Rastafari, Sports; (c) Restoring Indigenous Knowledge Systems by erasing epistemicide and (d) Restoring the African humanity. These efforts must be multi/inter disciplinary and encompass all domains of human intellectual theory and practice. Recovering the human intellectual traditions and knowledge systems of continental and Diasporas would be a treasure trove of ideas to solve many of the challenges faced by humanity today; this will require transcending what Claude Ake has dubbed "Social Science as Imperialism". In this essay, I attempt to sketch what would constitute a more appropriate, historiographically accurate and globally judicious understanding of African Studies that is holistic. My goal is to sketch an African Studies that is not segmented on the basis of the agendas of exogenous forces bent on decimating global African peoples, by playing diverse groups against each other, but one which recognizes the continuity of human heritage as primarily African heritage writ large, and one which recognizes that the African Diasporas, recent and classical, are all continuous with Africa feeding and renewing the world with humanity by virtue of being the original home of humanity. This calls for so many different approaches, but primary being the complete overhaul of the current curricula used to programme the minds of humanity, especially those emanating from European climes, to persist in negro-gaze: the objectification and exoticization of Africa and peoples of Africa globally, thereby derogating their humanities and agencies.

    Keywords: Krankheit Epidemie ; Medizin ; Ungleichheit ; Gesundheit ; Sozialer Aspekt ; Gesellschaft ; Politik ; Regierung ; Anthropologie, medizinische
    Abstract: Drawing upon the empirical scholarship and research expertise of contributors from all settled continents and from diverse life settings and economies, Viral Loads illustrates how the COVID-19 pandemic, and responses to it, lay bare and load onto people`s lived realities in countries around the world.A crosscutting theme pertains to how social unevenness and gross economic disparities are shaping global and local responses to the pandemic, and illustrate the effects of both the virus and efforts to contain it in ways that amplify these inequalities. At the same time, the contributions highlight the nature of contemporary social life, including virtual communication, the nature of communities, neoliberalism and contemporary political economies, and the shifting nature of nation states and the role of government. Over half of the world`s population has been affected by restrictions of movement, with physical distancing requirements and self-isolation recommendations impacting profoundly on everyday life but also on the economy, resulting also, in turn, with dramatic shifts in the economy and in mass unemployment.By reflecting on how the pandemic has interrupted daily lives, state infrastructures and healthcare systems, the contributing authors in this volume mobilise anthropological theories and concepts to locate the pandemic in a highly connected and exceedingly unequal world. The book is ambitious in its scope - spanning the entire globe - and daring in its insistence that medical anthropology must be a part of the growing calls to build a new world.

    Abstract: Franz Boas (1858-1942) is widely regarded as the founder of American anthropology. He influenced an astonishing variety of scholars and researchers, from the anthropologists Margaret Mead and Ruth Benedict, to the philosopher W. E. B. DuBois, and novelist Zora Neale Hurston. Towards the end of his life he also lectured widely in an attempt to educate the public on the dangers of Nazi ideology.Anthropology and Modern Life demonstrates the incredibly rich and fertile range of Boas`s thought, engaging with controversies that resonate loudly today: the problem of race and racial types; heredity versus environment; the significance of intelligence tests; open versus closed societies; the `nature versus nurture debate`; and nationality and nationalism.Believing passionately that science should be used to break down racial and cultural barriers, from the book's very opening Boas shatters the myth that anthropology is simply a collection of `curious facts about exotic peoples`. Thanks to Boas's influence, anthropologists and other social scientists began to see that differences among the races resulted not from physiological factors, but from historical events and circumstances, and that race itself was a cultural construct.This Routledge Classics edition includes a new Foreword by Regna Darnell and an Introduction and Afterword by Herbert S. Lewis, who details Franz Boas's life, influence, and ideals. (Verlagsangaben)

    Abstract: To produce the song sequences that are central to Indian popular cinema, singers` voices are first recorded in the studio and then played back on the set to be lip-synced and danced to by actors and actresses as the visuals are filmed. Since the 1950s, playback singers have become revered celebrities in their own right. Brought to Life by the Voice explores the distinctive aesthetics and affective power generated by this division of labor between onscreen body and offscreen voice in South Indian Tamil cinema. In Amanda Weidman`s historical and ethnographic account, playback is not just a cinematic technique, but a powerful and ubiquitous element of aural public culture that has shaped the complex dynamics of postcolonial gendered subjectivity, politicized ethnolinguistic identity, and neoliberal transformation in South India.

    Abstract: Since antiquity, knowledge has often been juxtaposed with opinion. Whereas opinion commonly refers to subjective perceptions and viewpoints, knowledge is typically intended to represent objective and verifiable propositions. On this view, knowledge per se claims a universal dimension in that it pretends to be approvable through the reason of everyone, everywhere. This universal aspect of the concept of knowledge stands in marked contrast to cultures of local knowledge, where the generation of knowledge is dependent on specific times and places. These divergent aspects came into conflict when Indigenous knowledge was contested by Europeans and likewise, Indigenous challenges to European knowledge occurred. Based on religious, linguistic, demographic, and cultural disparities, knowledge operative in one context was adapted, manipulated, reframed, or dismissed as spurious or heretical in another framework.This book focuses on historical examples of Indigenous knowledge from 1492 until circa 1800, with contributions from the fields of history, art history, geography, anthropology, and archaeology. Among the wide range of sources employed are Indigenous letters, last wills, missionary sermons, bilingual catechisms, archive inventories, natural histories, census records, maps, herbal catalogues of remedies, pottery, and stone carvings. These sources originate from Brazil, the Río de la Plata basin (parts of current-day Argentina, lowland Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay), the Andean region, New Spain (current-day Mexico), the Canary Islands, and Europe. The 14 chapters in this book are clustered into five main sections: (1) Medical Knowledge; (2) Languages, Texts, and Terminology; (3) Cartography and Geographical Knowledge; (4) Material and Visual Culture; and (5) Missionary Perceptions.

    Abstract: The idea of a moral economy has been explored and assessed in numerous disciplines. The anthropological studies in this volume provide a new perspective to this idea by showing how the relations of workers, employees and employers, and of firms, families and households are interwoven with local notions of moralities. From concepts of individual autonomy, kinship obligations, to ways of expressing mutuality or creativity, moral values exert an unrealized influence, and these often produce more consent than resistance or outrage.

    Abstract: In den vergangenen Jahren ist die Anzahl internationaler Studierender und Wissenschaftler*innen in Deutschland stetig angestiegen. Ausgehend von ihrer ethnologischen Forschung in der Universitätsstadt Göttingen geht Antonie Fuhse der Frage nach, wie junge Wissenschaftler*innen aus Indien ihre multiplen sozialen Verortungen während ihres Studiums beziehungsweise ihrer Promotion aushandelten. Sie setzt sich besonders damit auseinander, welche Rolle Mobilität in der Aushandlung normativer Vorstellungen von der Gestaltung des Lebensverlaufs und der Zukunft spielt. In diesem Buch wird das Konzept des `Regimes der akademischen Mobilität` entwickelt und in der Analyse angewandt, um die vielfältigen Akteure, Diskurse und Strukturen herauszustellen, die an der Mobilität von Studierenden und Wissenschaftler*innen beteiligt sind und Ungleichheiten im Zugang zu internationaler Mobilität erzeugen. Die Autorin zeigt, dass Alter, die Herkunft aus der indischen Mittelschicht und Gender in ihrer Interaktion einen großen Einfluss darauf hatten, warum die jungen Wissenschaftler*innen nach Deutschland kamen, welche Erfahrungen sie in Göttingen machten und was sie sich für ihre Zukunft erhofften. Sie stellt heraus, dass die Mobilität auf vielfache Weise mit dem Heiraten verknüpft war, und rückt damit ein Thema in den Fokus, das in der Erforschung internationaler Studierender und Wissenschaftler*innen bisher wenig beachtet wurde.

    Abstract: John Markakis, Günther Schlee and John Young have published a book on 'The Nation State: A Wrong Model for the Horn of Africa'. It questions the suitability of the nation state model. That as a descriptive model it does not fit the countries of the Horn of Africa is demonstrated by the prevalence of other forms of collective identification. The book contains a regional overview (The Crisis of the State in the Horn of Africa), one chapter about Ethiopia, one about the Afar Region within Ethiopia, one about transborder processes between Sudan, Ethiopia, South Sudan and Uganda, and one chapter about South Sudan. Recurrent patterns of conflict are identified in a concluding chapter. (Verlagsangaben)

    A _road as an empire : some remarks about the most important ancient periods and powers of and along the Silk Road (2021)

    Language: English

    Series Statement: Working Paper Series on Informal Markets and Trade No. 11
    Keywords: China Zentral-Asien ; Handel ; Seidenstraße ; Geschichte
    Abstract: This paper was presented at the workshop "Goods, Languages, and Cultures along the Silk Road" at Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, October 18 and 19, 2019. While many contributions to the workshop focused on recent developments in China`s current "New Silk Road" politics, on forms of communication, and on contemporary exchange of goods and ideas across so-called Silk Road countries in the Caucasus and Central Asia and with China, this short essay focuses on the history of the so-called Silk Road as an important transport connection. Although what is now called the "Silk Road" was not a pure East-West binary in antiquity but rather developed into a network that also led to the South and North, the focus here will be on describing the East-West connection.I will start with a few brief remarks on the origins of the connection referred to as the Silk Road and will then introduce the different great empires that shaped this connection between antiquity and the Middle Ages through military campaigns and by using it as a trading route and network. But the Silk Road was by no means only of economic and military importance. Its significance for the exchange and dissemination of religions should also be mentioned. This paper does not detail the importance of the numerous individual religions in the area of the Silk Road but discusses the phenomenon of the spread of religions and the loss of some of their own distinguishing characteristics in this spread, a phenomenon that could be described as a "unity of opposites" (coincidentia oppositorum). Finally, the essay asks who, in the face of the regular replacement of powers, held sovereignty over the transport connection: the subject (in the form of the empires) or the object (in the form of the road).Who were the main protagonists of and along the Silk Road in the course of history? Who were the people who became the great powers of the ancient Silk Road, building up the material route, governing parts of it, and organizing trade and relationships from the far East to the extreme West of the Eurasian continent?

    Abstract: Small-scale traders play a crucial role in forging Asian connectivity, forming networks and informal institutions separate from those driven by nation-states, such as China's Belt and Road Initiative. This ambitious study provides a unique insight into the lives of the mobile traders from Afghanistan who traverse Eurasia. Reflecting on over a decade of intensive ethnographic fieldwork, Magnus Marsden introduces readers to a dynamic yet historically durable universe of commercial and cultural connections. Through an exploration of the traders' networks, cultural and religious identities, as well as the nodes in which they operate, Marsden emphasises their ability to navigate Eurasia's geopolitical tensions and to forge transregional routes that channel significant flows of people, resources, and ideas. Beyond the Silk Roads will interest those seeking to understand contemporary iterations of the Silk Road within the context of geopolitics in the region.

    Abstract: "Based on comparative ethnographic research in four countries and three continents, Butinage: The Art of Religious Mobility explores the notion of "religious butinage" as a conceptual framework intended to shed light on the dynamics of everyday religious practice. Derived from the French word butiner, which refers to the foraging activity of bees and other pollinating insects, this term is employed by the authors metaphorically to refer to the "to-ing and fro-ing" of believers between religious institutions. Focused on urban, predominantly Christian settings in Brazil, Kenya, Ghana, and Switzerland, Butinage examines commonalities and differences across the four case studies and identifies religious mobility as located at the meeting points between religious-institutional rules and narratives, local social norms, and individual agency and practice. Drawing on Anglophone, Francophone, and Lusophone academic traditions, this monograph is dedicated to a dialogue between ethnographic findings and theoretical ideas, and explores how we may rethink common conceptions of religious normativity."

    Abstract: In Colonial Impotence, Benoît Henriet studies the violent contradictions of colonial rule from the standpoint of the Leverville concession, Belgian Congo's largest palm oil exploitation. Leverville was imagined as a benevolent tropical utopia, whose Congolese workers would be "civilized" through a paternalist machinery. However, the concession was marred by inefficiency, endemic corruption and intrinsic brutality. Colonial agents in the field could be seen as impotent, for they were both unable and unwilling to perform as expected. This book offers a new take on the joint experience of colonialism and capitalism in Southwest Congo, and sheds light on their impact on local environments, bodies, societies and cosmogonies.

Doch so bekannt dieses Buch ist, so wenig wurde es tatsächlich gelesen. Angesichts radikaler Veränderungen der Lebenswelt unterziehen die Beiträger*innen des Bandes die »Studies« gut 50 Jahre nach ihrer Ersterscheinung einer Relektüre. Sie decken bisher verborgene Bezüge auf, rekapitulieren methodologische und empirische Anschlüsse an Garfinkel, diskutieren Parallelen und Differenzen zu anderen soziologischen und kulturwissenschaftlichen Forschungsprogrammen und demonstrieren das kritische Potenzial der Ethnomethodologie.

    Abstract: Throughout 2020, Indigenous Peoples were disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic with, among other things, lack of access to proper health services, limited health information in Indigenous languages, minimal to no virtual education opportunities for Indigenous students and closure of markets for the sale of goods. Indigenous Peoples proved their resilience by setting up their own networks and solutions, connecting communities to help transfer information and goods, and implementing traditional methods of protection to keep themselves safe from the virus and the intrusion of outsiders who potentially carried it. Nonetheless, as the pandemic spread, Indigenous Peoples continued to be persecuted, threatened, criminalised and killed in their efforts to defend their rights, sometimes under the guise of emergency laws enacted to mitigate the virus, but which also allowed for Indigenous Peoples` rights to be violated and their lands to be exploited.

    Abstract: Energy related infrastructures are crucial to political organization. They shape the contours of states and international bodies, as well as corporations and communities, framing their material existence and their fears and idealisations of the future. Ethnographies of Power brings together ethnographic studies of contemporary entanglements of energy and political power. Revisiting classic anthropological notions of power, it asks how changing energy related infrastructures are implicated in the consolidation, extension or subversion of contemporary political regimes and discovers what they tell us about politics today.

    Abstract: As we move further into the twenty-first century, we are witnessing both the global extensification and local intensification of inequality. Unequal Lives deals with the particular dilemmas of inequality in the Western Pacific. The authors focus on four dimensions of inequality: the familiar triad of gender, race and class, and the often-neglected dimension of generation. Grounded in meticulous long-term ethnographic enquiry and deep awareness of the historical contingency of these configurations of inequality, this volume illustrates the multidimensional, multiscale and epistemic nature of contemporary inequality. This collection is a major contribution to academic and political debates about the perverse effects of inequality, which now ranks among the greatest challenges of our time. The inspiration for this volume derives from the breadth and depth of Martha Macintyre's remarkable scholarship. The contributors celebrate Macintyre's groundbreaking work, which exemplifies the explanatory power, ethical force and pragmatism that ensures the relevance of anthropological research to the lives of others and to understanding the global condition

    Pashmina going global : dealing with cultural heritage and authenticity in the Kashmiri shawl business in Mamallapuram, India (2021)

    Keywords: Indien Jammu und Kaschmir ; Ethnie, Indien ; Textproduktion ; kulturelles Eigentum ; Tourismus
    Abstract: This volume engages with a problem that has repeatedly been addressed in the anthropology of globalisation, the more recent anthropology of art and the anthropology of tourism, namely the question of how 'culture and commerce' relate to one another, or what effects tourism and commerce have on the symbolic and social value of material culture and its modes of production. It is based on Anne Herms' MA thesis which was supervised by Prof. Susanne Brandtstädter. The ethnographic theme of this study is the sale of 'real' pashmina shawls by Kashmiri traders in Mamallapuram, a tourist town in the south of India. It is based on empirical research conducted in Mamallapuram between October and December 2018. Kashmiri pashmina shawls have a long history of global circulation, and have been widely regarded as desirable prestige objects. Following the debate on the 'social life of things' initiated by Appadurai, reference is first made to the diverse contexts of meaning between people and things, as well as to the proposition that as a result of commodification and global consumption, cultural artifacts suffer a loss of meaning or authenticity, and object and producer become 'alienated' from one another. The work focuses on three questions: How do traders relate to the shawl? What significance does authenticity - a modern term that arose from the tension between original and copy - have in the local shawl trade and why? How can the sale of Kashmiri shawls be assessed in light of the debate on the commodification of culture? As it turns out, dealers have a close, almost emotional identification with the goods, and take pride in their sale and worldwide distribution. Their personal relationship with these objects seems to embody a special 'sociality' of handcrafted shawls and an idea of pashmina as a Kashmiri cultural heritage. Authenticity is of major importance in the (local) shawl business, for tourists and dealers alike. Herms describes how pashmina shawls that come to Mamallapuram as commodities receive (back) the 'aura' of the authentic, and argues that the production of authenticity not only increases the economic value of the goods, but also their symbolic and social meaning. The concepts of 'commodity', 'art' and 'cultural heritage' are practically not separate categories here. The traders' cultural appreciation of the shawl is also due to its commodification, its marketing history and the continuous sale on site. Thus, traders do not become alienated from the product, but rather connected to it. (Verlagsangaben)

    Abstract: Shared Margins tells of writers, writing, and literary milieus in Alexandria, Egypt`s second city. It de-centres cosmopolitan avant-gardes and secular-revolutionary aesthetics that have been intensively documented and studied since 2011. Instead, it offers a fieldwork-based account of various milieus and styles, and their common grounds and lines of division.Structured in two parts, Shared Margins gives an account of literature as a social practice embedded in milieus that at once enable and limit literary imagination, and of a life-worldly experience of plurality in absence of pluralism that marks literary engagements with the intimate and social realities of Alexandria after 2011.Literary writing, this book argues, has marginality as an at once enabling and limiting condition. It provides shared spaces of imaginary excess that may go beyond the taken-for-granted of a societal milieu, and yet are never unlimited. Literary imagination is part and parcel of such social conflicts and transformations, its role being neither one of resistance against power nor of guidance towards norms, but rather one of open-ended complicity.

    Abstract: To what extent can Islam be localized in an increasingly interconnected world? The contributions to this volume investigate different facets of Muslim lives in the context of increasingly dense transregional connections, highlighting how the circulation of ideas about `Muslimness` contributed to the shaping of specific ideas about what constitutes Islam and its role in society and politics. Infrastructural changes have prompted the intensification of scholarly and trade networks, prompted the circulation of new literary genres or shaped stereotypical images of Muslims. This, in turn, had consequences in widely differing fields such as self-representation and governance of Muslims. The contributions in this volume explore this issue in geographical contexts ranging from South Asia to Europe and the US. Coming from the disciplines of history, anthropology, religious studies, literary studies and political science, the authors collectively demonstrate the need to combine a translocal perspective with very specific local and historical constellations. The book complicates conventional academic divisions and invites to think in historically specific translocal contexts. (Verlagsangaben)

    One hundred years of substantivist economic anthropology (2021)

    Keywords: Wirtschaftsethnologie Geschichte der Ethnologie ; Ost-Europa
    Abstract: The paper offers a perspective on the history and epistemological status of economic anthropology, ranging from the contributions of Bronislaw Malinowski in the early 1920s to the state of the field today. The focus is on the substantivist tradition, associated in the history of anthropology primarily with Karl Polanyi. The deep-rooted confusion that results from what he termed the "two meanings of `economic`" is already visible in the earlier oeuvre of Bronislaw Malinowski. The substantivist tradition initiated almost unwittingly by Malinowski continues to flourish and is compatible with a variety of theoretical approaches. Tensions will always exist between the relativist, empiricist thrust of substantivist economic anthropology and the allegedly universal reach of the deductive models that dominate in mainstream (neoclassical) economics. These theoretical tensions may in some places acquire a political tinge, but they can always be mitigated through meticulous ethnography. The point is illustrated in this paper with reference to work on property relations in the former socialist countries of Eastern Europe. (Abstract)

    Abstract: This book presents case studies of the SFB 1070 ResourceCultures, which use an extended resource definition. Resources are analysed as contingent means to construct, sustain and alter social relations, units and identities. Accordingly, resources are seen as means of social practices of actors that depend on cultural and social appropriation and valuation. They constitute ResourceCultures. The contributions cover the topics of cross-sectional working groups and conferences that shaped the interdisciplinary collaboration on cultural, spatial and temporal dimensions of resources and ResourceCultures.

    Abstract: Ausgelöst durch die sog. `Repräsentationskrise` wurde im Fach Ethnologie in den letzten Jahrzehnten die vormals eindeutige Trennung von "Feld" und "daheim" zunehmend in Frage gestellt; ebenso geriet das starre Konzept des "Anderen" ins Wanken und die Positionalität der Feldforscher/innen rückte stärker in den Blick. Gleichzeitig veränderten sich auch die Forschungsgegenstände; sie erweiterten sich potentiell auf alle Phänomene der zeitgenössischen Welt und bereiteten schließlich den Weg für eine Ethnologie "zu Hause". Zur Lösung des Repräsentationsproblems entwickelten Ethnolog/innen ethnografische Untersuchungsmethoden weiter - so gewannen etwa kollaborative Forschungsdesigns und die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Insidern und Outsidern als gleichwertige Forschungspartner/innen zunehmend an Bedeutung. In diesem Rahmen etablierte sich auch das Genre der Auto-Ethnografie, in der die Forscher/innen "Einheimische" sind, die über ihre eigene Gruppe forschen. Die Selbst-Identifikation der Ethnolog/innen mit ihren Forschungsteilnehmer/innen, sowie ihr praktisches (Vor-)Wissen über diese, sind demnach zentrale Merkmale auto-ethnografischer Forschung. Der Begriff der Auto-Ethnografie bleibt allerdings unscharf - so gibt es verschiedene Vorstellungen davon, wie das "auto" zu fassen und was unter der Eingebundenheit der Forschenden in das Forschungsfeld zu verstehen sei. Eine auto-ethnografische Forschung wirft ein besonders scharfes Licht auf eine Reihe von wichtigen epistemologischen, methodischen und ethischen Problemen, die das Fach Ethnologie als Ganzes betreffen. Diese werden in diesem Arbeitspapier vor dem Hintergrund einer eigenen auto-ethnografischen und kollaborativen Forschungserfahrung (als Polizist in der kollaborativen ethnologischen Polizeiforschung) behandelt.AbstraKeywords: Epistemologie, Positionalität, kollaborative Ethnografie, Organisationsethnologie, teilnehmende Beobachtung, Ethnologie zu Hause | epistemology, positionality, collaborative ethnography, organizational anthropology, complete member research, anthropology at home

    Abstract: In den letzten Jahren ergriff die costa-ricanische Regierung gemeinsam mit Panama verschiedene Maßnahmen zur humanitären Versorgung, Überwachung und raschen Weiterleitung sogenannter migrantes extracontinentales aus Afrika, Asien und der Karibik. Damit soll ein flujo controlado ("kontrollierter Migrationsfluss") gewährleistet werden. Dieses Arbeitspapier nimmt die Interaktionen von staatlichen Mitarbeitenden, Migrant*innen und Akteur*innen der "Migrationsindustrie" in den Blick. Es untersucht, wie Mitarbeitende von Rotem Kreuz und Polizei in einer temporären Unterkunft für Transitmigrant*innen in Costa Rica ihre Arbeit verstehen und im Spannungsfeld zwischen Vorschrift und beruflicher Ethik praktisch gestalten. Eine von August bis Oktober 2019 absolvierte Feldforschung in Costa Rica mit einem Praktikum in der Unterkunft, bei dem die Autorin an administrativen und Versorgungspraktiken teilnahm, bildet die empirische Grundlage dieses Arbeitspapiers. Es zeigt, dass Mitarbeitende der Unterkunft die Migrant*innen nach Geschlecht, Herkunft und Alter kategorisierten, transnationale und lokale sicherheitspolitische Diskurse abwogen und bürokratische und humanitäre Ansprüche verhandelten.Keywords: Migrationsmanagement; Transit; Flüchtlingsunterkunft; Costa Rica; Street-Level Bureaucracy; Humanitarismus | Migration management; transit; migration shelter; Costa Rica; street-level bureaucracy; humanitarianism

    Abstract: Since 2019, the National Museum of World Cultures in the Netherlands has undertaken focused research into the provenance of the collections related to the Kingdom of Benin, and more specifically those artworks connected to the attack on, and looting of, Benin City in 1897. In recognition of this painful history and the consequent sense of loss that these artworks represent, we are making accessible the full extent of our research on all the collections historically attributed to the Kingdom of Benin. This is part of our commitment to transparency and to provide access to our collections and their histories.The freely downloadable e-book presents our most up-to-date provenance research on the Benin City collections. It is based on the range of archival documents inside and outside the National Museum of World Cultures, biographical information and historical sources. In this manner it examines the way in which each artwork entered the collections, in order to contribute to research on Benin City collections and establish the nature of the link between these artworks with the military looting of Benin City in 1897.In October 2020, the Dutch Council for Culture (Raad voor Cultuur) presented a report entitled `Colonial Collections and a Recognition of Injustice`. The museum acknowledges the systemic injustice that the looting of Benin City is part of, and the need for repair of this injustice as one of the tasks of the museum. The publication of The Benin Collections at the National Museum of World Cultures is a step in this process and an invitation for further dialogue and action. (Verlagsangaben)

    Abstract: The conceptualization of dementia has changed dramatically in recent years with the claim that, through early detection and by controlling several risk factors, a prevention of dementia is possible. Although encouraging and providing hope against this feared condition, this claim is open to scrutiny. This volume looks at how this new conceptualization ignores many of the factors which influence a dementia sufferers` prognosis, including their history with education, food and exercise as well as their living in different epistemic cultures. The central aim is to question the concept of prevention and analyze its impact on aging people and aging societies. (Verlagsangaben)

    Abstract: This edited volume examines entanglements and disentanglements between Africa and East Germany during and after the Cold War from a global history perspective. Extending the view beyond political elites, it asks for the negotiated and plural character of socialism in these encounters and sheds light on migration, media, development, and solidarity through personal and institutional agency. With its distinctive focus on moorings and unmoorings, the volume shows how the encounters, albeit often brief, significantly influenced both African and East German histories. (Verlagsangabe)

    Abstract: Proposing a series of innovative steps towards better understanding human lives at the interstices of water and land, this volume includes eight ethnographies from deltas around the world. The book presents `delta life` with intimate descriptions of the predicaments, imaginations and activities of delta inhabitants. Conceptually, the collection develops `delta life` as a metaphor for approaching continual and intersecting sociocultural, economic and material transformations more widely. The book revolves around questions of hydrosociality, volatility, rhythms and scale. It thereby yields insights into people`s lives that conventional, hydrological approaches to deltas cannot provide. (Verlagsangaben)

    Series Statement: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology number 53
    Keywords: Trobriand Insel Orale Tradition ; Mythologie ; Mythos und Legende ; Sozialer Wandel
    Abstract: This volume comprises an edited compilation of traditional oral narratives from the Trobriand Islands of Papua New Guinea obtained by Jerry W. Leach from 1970 to 1973, which are held in the Smithsonian Institution`s National Anthropological Archives. The narratives encompass key aspects of Trobriand cultural heritage as well as insights into the Kilivila language, regional cosmologies, and past and present social practices. The narratives constitute an elaborate but fragile system of knowledge that is threatened by rapid social change. The book is the culmination of a research project begun in 2011 through the auspices of the Recovering Voices Program at the National Museum of Natural History. Traveling to the Trobriand Islands with copies of the Leach narratives, the editor worked with communities to select the most culturally important and prevalent narratives, 79 of which are presented here. Trobriand communities proposed that those narratives be printed in Kilivila and in English to help pre serve traditional knowledge for future generations. Each narrative is categorized in local terms, preceded by details regarding the storytellers and a summary, as well as links to other stories when narratives are related, and many are followed by a list of key words and expressions that are defined in a section on vocabulary. Further explanations and illustrations help clarify and complete the stories, providing examples of traditional objects and techniques as well as their uses.

    Abstract: Island studies have seen an upswing in recent years. Whereas in the past, research was largely oriented at external perspectives and perceptions, at present we witness an increasing interest in viewpoints internal to the island societies examined (with an `inside-out` approach). This volume contributes to such efforts with transdisciplinary and methodological reflections from the fields of archaeology, ethnology, geography, history, philology, and literary studies. Focused on the interplay between geographic isolation and commercial as well as cultural connection, the studies here assembled investigate the role of the knowledge, resources, and practices of islanders in processes of crisis management, identity formation and transformation.

    "Neue Frankfurter Schule" - Theorie und Portrait (2021)

    Language: German
    Pages: 1 Online-Ressource (367 Seiten)
    Keywords: Deutschland Humor ; Satire ; Karikatur ; Literatur ; Literaturwissenschaft ; Frankfurt am Main
    Abstract: F.W. Bernstein, Bernd Eilert, Robert Gernhardt, Eckhard Henscheid, Peter 'Pit' Knorr, Chlodwig Poth, Hans Traxler und F.K. Waechter firmieren seit 1981 unter dem Namen "Neue Frankfurter Schule" (NFS). Die Künstlergruppe, die sich in den 1960er Jahren um das Satiremagazin "Pardon" gebildet hat, zeichnete sich im Jahr 1979 für die Gründung des endgültigen Satiremagazins "TITANIC" verantwortlich. Ihr Werk ist maßgeblich für die Entwicklung von Komik und Komischer Kunst in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. In der Forschung sind Werk und Gruppe jedoch unterrepräsentiert. Die vorliegende Arbeit erarbeitet im ersten Teil deshalb auf Gebiet der Komiktheorie ein fachsprachliches Instrumentarium, um das Werk der NFS literaturwissenschaftlich adäquat fassen zu können. Im zweiten Teil werden die Autoren der NFS wissenschaftlich portraitiert und die literaturhistorischen Begebenheit zur Entstehung der Gruppe geklärt. Dabei wird der Versuch unternommen, das Gesamtwerk der NFS zu erfassen, Entwicklungslinien aufzuzeigen und den Anschluss an die "Frankfurter Schule" herzustellen. Die vorliegende Arbeit entwickelt hierbei die Theorie von der Leistungsfähigkeit der Komik als "Seismograph historischer Ereignisse" und demonstriert dies anhand des Werks der NFS.F.W. Bernstein, Bernd Eilert, Robert Gernhardt, Eckhard Henscheid, Peter 'Pit' Knorr, Chlodwig Poth, Hans Traxler and F.K. Waechter have been operating under the name "Neue Frankfurter Schule" (NFS) since 1981. The group of artists that formed around the satirical magazine "Pardon" in the 1960s was responsible for founding the final satirical magazine "TITANIC" in 1979. Her work is decisive for the development of comedy and comic art in the Federal Republic of Germany. In research, however, the work and group are underrepresented. In the first part of the present work, therefore, in the area of comic theory, a technical language instrument is developed in order to be able to adequately grasp the work of the NFS in terms of literary studies. In the second part, the authors of the NFS are scientifically portrayed and the literary history of the group's emergence is clarified. The attempt is made to capture the entire work of the NFS, to point out lines of development and to establish a connection to the "Frankfurt School". The present work develops the theory of the effectiveness of the comedy as a "seismograph of historical events" and demonstrates this on the basis of the work of the NFS.

    Keywords: Palau Insel Papua-Neuguinea ; Melanesien ; Cargo-Kult ; Politik und Gesellschaft ; Christentum ; Chiliasmus ; manus
    Abstract: Like Fire chronicles an indigenous movement for radical change in Papua New Guinea from 1946 to the present. The movement's founder, Paliau Maloat, promoted a program for step-by-step social change in which many of his followers also found hope for a miraculous millenarian transformation. Drawing on data collected over several decades, Theodore Schwartz and Michael French Smith describe the movement's history, Paliau's transformation from secular reformer and politician to Melanesian Jesus, and the development of the current incarnation of the movement as Wind Nation, a fully millenarian endeavour. Their analysis casts doubt on common ways of understanding a characteristically Melanesian form of millenarianism, the cargo cult, and questions widely accepted ways of interpreting millenarianism in general. They show that to understand the human proclivity for millenarianism we must scrutinise more closely two near-universal human tendencies: difficulty accepting the role of chance or impersonal forces in shaping events (that is, the tendency to personify causation), and a tendency to imagine that one or one's group is the focus of the malign or benign attention of purposeful entities, from the local to the cosmic. Schwartz and Smith discuss the prevalence of millenarianism and warn against romanticising it, because the millenarian mind can subvert rationality and nourish rage and fear even as it seeks transcendence.

    Abstract: This tenth edition of BIGSASworks! explores different theoretical and methodological approaches to fieldwork experiences, practices, and challenges in African Studies. Employing multidisciplinary perspectives and lenses that include intersectionality, decolonization and reflexivity, the contributors discuss how fieldwork can question, upend and reconfigure the research experience. All contributions are underlined by a critical reflection on positionality, exploring the intersections between different positions emanating from parenting, age, marriage, race, motherhood, nationality, diaspora, language, and religion. In particular, there is a conscious reflection on often marginalized positions and perspectives in the field, underscored by a critical reflection of the positions of the contributors as attached to institutions in the global north, in relation to their work in the global south. The contributors reinforce the need for critical reflections on the practice of fieldwork in African studies, underscoring the intersections between lived experience and the research process.Weitere Angaben. - Keywords: African Studies; fieldwork; positionality; reflexivity; decolonisation; Ghana; Togo; Niger; Kenya; Tanzania; Benin; Nigeria; field experience

    Abstract: Iceland`s uncommon proclivity towards storytelling, its robust tradition of medieval manuscripts, and the "re-oralization" of those narratives after the medieval period, create a body of folktales and legends that have encoded a hidden account of how orthodox and heterodox beliefs (sometimes pagan in origin) intermingled as Christianity, and later Reformation, spread through the North. This volume unlocks that secret story by placing Icelandic folktales in a context of religious doctrine, social history, and Old Norse sagas and poetry. The analysis herein reveals a cultural memory of belief. (Verlagsangaben)

    Abstract: The smartphone is often literally right in front of our nose, so you would think we would know what it is. But do we? To find out, 11 anthropologists each spent 16 months living in communities in Africa, Asia, Europe and South America, focusing on the take up of smartphones by older people. Their research reveals that smartphones are technology for everyone, not just for the young. The Global Smartphone presents a series of original perspectives deriving from this global and comparative research project. Smartphones have become as much a place within which we live as a device we use to provide `perpetual opportunism`, as they are always with us. The authors show how the smartphone is more than an `app device` and explore differences between what people say about smartphones and how they use them.The smartphone is unprecedented in the degree to which we can transform it. As a result, it quickly assimilates personal values. In order to comprehend it, we must take into consideration a range of national and cultural nuances, such as visual communication in China and Japan, mobile money in Cameroon and Uganda, and access to health information in Chile and Ireland - all alongside diverse trajectories of ageing in Al Quds, Brazil and Italy. Only then can we know what a smartphone is and understand its consequences for people`s lives around the world. (Verlgsangaben)

    Abstract: Das performative und materialisierte Erbe des Initiationsritus Kankurang in Senegal und Gambia ist von der UNESCO als »Immaterielles Kulturerbe« unter Schutz gestellt. Claudia Ba untersucht an diesem visuellen Erbe, wie dichotome Verständnisse von Moderne und Tradition in Afrika aufgehoben werden. Mit ihrem Konzept der ikonischen Kohärenz situiert sie raumzeitlich global fluktuierende Bilder visueller Erbekonstruktionen der afrikanischen Gegenwartsgesellschaften. Damit schafft sie einen neuen Modus der Gedächtnisforschung, dessen breites analytisches Potenzial sich an die Sozial- und Kultur- sowie Geschichtswissenschaft, aber auch an Interessierte richtet, die mit global zirkulierenden Bildern arbeiten.

    Series Statement: Working Paper Series on Informal Markets and Trade No. 12
    Keywords: Kaukasus Armenien ; Georgien ; Handel ; Markt ; Epidemie ; COVID-19 ; Netzwerkanalyse
    Abstract: As 2021 draws to a close, Covid-19 continues to prevail worldwide. With the proverbial return to normalcy still appearing distant, there is now a tacit acceptance globally that at least for the foreseeable future, we must live with Covid-19. Given that Covid-19 is an infectious disease—which by definition is transmitted from person to person—the continued prevalence of Covid-19 has implications for how local authorities, communities, and individuals around the world will approach public spaces. While it may be premature to assume a so-called coronacene (see Higgins et al. 2020), going into the future our use of public spaces will be overshadowed by the possibility, even if remote, of illness or death by virtue of close proximity to other individuals.Along with parks and squares, streets and avenues, bazaars constitute ubiquitous public spaces, including in countries of the developing world, such as Armenia and Georgia, our countries of discussion here. Although there is not a clear bifurcation between bazaars and other types of marketplaces, bazaars will usually be comprised of a multitude of nonfranchised, self-owned, small businesses that are variously family-run or rely on family labor. They are usually perceived as chaotic places that lack hygiene (the purportedly unhygienic character of the bazaar was brought to the forefront with the pandemic, given how Covid-19`s origin is widely assumed to be a Wuhan wet market). In Armenia and Georgia, and indeed, across the former Soviet Union, bazaars are a source of employment for the urban and peri-urban population; they also offer goods at price points attractive to a wide demographic. This working paper builds on the premise that the bazaar is an informal institution. Bazaar traders will typically assemble networks by themselves (with manufacturers and wholesalers, buyers and transporters). These networks will usually vary from one business to another. Also, ownership and rent structures are frequently opaque, and the majority of commercial transactions are in cash, which does not appear in state records. As a consequence, for the state, many small businesses do not exist (Fehlings and Karrar 2016, 2020).For those of us researching bazaar trading, Covid-19 has given rise to a basic question: How have independent businesses been transformed by the pandemic? This working paper is an attempt to parse this question in light of developments in Armenia and Georgia. In this working paper, we suggest that the Covid-19 pandemic has deepened informality in the bazaar. That being said, we want to underscore that the present discussion is exploratory. Our ethnography remains limited, and we look forward to returning to the field as soon as it is safe to do so.

    Abstract: Interventionen sind ein wesentlicher Bestandteil ethnografischer Feldforschungspraxis. In dieser Ausgabe diskutieren wir Interventionen mit, in und innerhalb ethnographischer Forschung und als spezifisches methodisches Verfahren. Die Beiträge in dieser Ausgabe der Kulturanthropologie Notizen geben Einblicke in die Praxis des Intervenierens in verschiedenen Bereichen wie der globalen Lebensmittelindustrie, dem Bergbau, oder der Sozialpsychiatrie und diskutieren die Auswirkungen der COVID-19-Pandemie auf unsere eigene Forschungspraxis. Darüber hinaus wird die Kulturanthropologie als eine Veränderungswissenschaft diskutiert, die neue Konzepte benötigt, um den grundlegenden gesellschaftlichen Transformationen, die durch weitreichende digitale Informationssysteme und dem Aufstieg globaler Datenökonomien angestoßen werden, zu begegnen. Die Autor:innen reflektieren verschiedene experimentelle und kollaborative Formate während der Forschung und deren epistemische Auswirkungen. Die Beiträge der Ausgabe legen offen, wie dadurch Selbstverständlichkeiten in Frage gestellt werden können, wie Interventionen das Potenzial haben, dominante Formen der Wissensproduktion zu verändern, und es ermöglichen, ethnografische Forschung neu zu denken und zu praktizieren. In diesem Sinne lädt das Heft die Leser:innen dazu ein, sowohl die Auswirkungen ethnographischer Interventionen in unseren Forschungsfeldern nachzuvollziehen, als auch das Veränderungspotenzial dieser Interventionen für die ethnographische Wissensproduktion ernst zu nehmen.

    Abstract: The Aral Sea is well known for its devastating regression over the second half of the twentieth century, and for its recent partial restoration. Environment and Post-Soviet Transformation in Kazakhstan`s Aral Sea Region is the first book to explore what these monumental changes have meant to those living on the sea`s shores.Following the fluctuating fortunes of the pre-Soviet, Soviet and post-Soviet fisheries, the book shows how the vast environmental changes the region has undergone cannot be disentangled from the transformations of Soviet socialism and postsocialism. This ethnographic perspective prompts a critical rethinking of the category of environmental disaster through which the region is predominantly known. Tracing how the sea`s retreat and partial return have been apprehended by diverse local actors in the former port of Aral`sk and surrounding fishing villages, as well as by scientists, bureaucrats and international development workers, William Wheeler draws out the multiple meanings environmental change acquires within different contexts. This study of how people make their lives amidst overlapping ecological and political-economic upheavals is rich in ethnographic detail that is both rooted in Soviet legacies and alive to the new transnational connections that are reshaping the region.Offering a rigorous political ecology of Soviet socialism and after, the book is a major contribution to the nascent environmental anthropology of Central Asia. It will be of interest to environmental anthropologists, environmental historians, and scholars of all disciplines working on Central Asia and the former USSR.

    Abstract: In this ethnographic study of post-paternalist ruination and renovation, Christian Straube explores social change at the intersection of material decay and social disconnection in the former mine township Mpatamatu of Luanshya, one of the oldest mining towns on the Zambian Copperbelt. Touching on topics including industrial history, colonial town planning, social control and materiality, gender relations and neoliberal structural change, After Corporate Paternalism offers unique insights into how people reappropriate former corporate spaces and transform them into personal projects of renovation, fundamentally changing the characteristics of their community.

    Abstract: Since the Iraq war, the Middle East has been in continuous upheaval, resulting in the displacement of millions of people. Arriving from Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, and Syria in other parts of the world, the refugees show remarkable resilience and creativity amidst profound adversity. Through careful ethnography, this book vividly illustrates how refugees navigate regimes of exclusion, including cumbersome bureaucracies, financial insecurities, medical challenges, vilifying stereotypes, and threats of violence. The collection bears witness to their struggles, while also highlighting their aspirations for safety, settlement, and social inclusion in their host societies and new homes. (Verlagsangaben)

    Abstract: Ivan Stepanovich Sopochin lived his whole life following the traditional customs of his people, one of the branches of the Eastern Khanty, on a tributary of the Ob', the Woki-rap-yagun (`Fox-cliff river`), near Surgut. He remained a monolingual speaker of his dialect, and was a guardian of spiritual traditions. In his youth he was arrested for the practice of shamanism - though he called himself not a shaman, but a `man who sees`, who has visions. In the last years of his life (he died in 1993), he attracted many visits from researchers into shamanism and traditional culture. The present volume presents the research of some of the scholars who carried out field work or have studied Sopochin`s spiritual traditions, and marks a significant contribution to English-language research into Eastern Khanty shamanism and traditional culture.

    Abstract: Obwohl Palawans artenreiche Wälder formal durch ein Abholzungsverbot und gleich zwei Umweltbehörden geschützt werden, gehören illegale Abholzungen zur Tagesordnung. Aufgrund dieser anhaltenden illegalen Abholzungen hat die NGO PNNI auf Basis der philippinischen Gesetzgebung ein Umweltschutzprogramm etabliert, das auf die direkte Konfrontation der Holzfäller*innen ausgerichtet ist und das Ziel verfolgt, deren Kettensägen zu konfiszieren. Das Konfiszieren von Kettensägen ist kein temporärer Aktivismus, sondern ein beständiger und aktiv gewählter Teil der Arbeit der NGO-Mitarbeiter*innen. Darüber hinaus ist ihr Umweltaktivismus eingebettet in lokalpolitische Interessenskonflikte, sozio-ökonomische Ungleichheiten und politisch motivierte Morde, die den Aktivismus erschweren und die illegalen Abholzungen antreiben. Mein Anliegen in dieser Arbeit ist es, Umweltaktivismus zum einen als Handlung und soziale Praxis, und zum anderen als einen aktiv gewählten Lebensentwurf zu untersuchen, der zwischen dem Potenzial, die Umwelt zu schützen, den Gefahren des Engagements und privaten bzw. familiären Verpflichtungen oszilliert. Im Lichte dieses Balanceakts werde ich die Umweltaktivisten als Individuen in den Vordergrund rücken und aufzeigen, worin die persönliche Motivation des Aktivismus, der Wert einer Kettensäge, liegt.Keywords: Umweltaktivismus; illegale Abholzung; Kettensägen; Palawan; Philippinen | existential anthropology; environmentalism; illegal logging; chainsaws; Palawan; Philippines

    Abstract: A groundbreaking analysis of 21st century labour practices in the mining industry and the new scramble for industrial power on the African continent. Since the beginning of the 21st century, African countries with mineral resources have witnessed an unprecedented rise in foreign direct investments and the development of new flexible workforce management practices in the mining industry. But what does this mean for those who actually work in this industry? Based on research in the Congo and Zambia, where a mining boom has led to more than thirty new mining projects in recent years, this book explores the processes of improvisation and adaptation behind the emergence of this neoliberal labour regime. The contributors show how mining projects' labour practices have been mediated, negotiated, or resisted by mine workers, unionists, and human resource managers. They discuss variations in labour practices put in place by new mining projects depending on the type of capital involved, the type of mine being developed, and their location. Finally, the book examines the implications of power dynamics surrounding companies' labour strategies from the broader perspective of the responsibility of trade unions, gender equality, and identity politics.

    Abstract: The impulse for the recent transformations in the Arab world came from the Maghreb. Research on the region has been on the rise since, yet much remains to be done when it comes to interdisciplinary comparative research. The Maghreb is a heterogeneous region that deserves thorough investigation. This volume focuses on Entanglements as a cross-field and cross-lingual concept to generate a new approach to the region and its inner interdependencies as well as exchanges with other regions. Eminent researchers conceptualize Entanglements through the description of various thematic fields and actors in motion, addressing culture, politics, social affairs, and economics. (Verlagsangaben)

    Abstract: Ein Blick auf die Chronologie der Einführung von neuen Deskriptoren sowie Änderungen gewisser Termini spiegeln meist politische Entscheide der entsprechenden Zeitperiode oder ein gesellschaftliches Umdenken im allgemeinen Sprachgebrauch wider. Anhand von zwei Beispielen sollen hier solche Umgestaltungen oder Modifikationen innerhalb des Bibliotheks-Thesaurus der BAB dargestellt werden, die den Wandel der Zeit nachvollziehbar illustrieren. Zum einen handelt es sich um mehrere Einträge verschiedener Sprachen im südlichen Afrika (insbesondere Khoisan-Sprachen), die über einen längeren Zeitraum recherchiert und in den Thesaurus eingefügt wurden, um es zu ermöglichen, die Sprachlandschaft Namibias und des südlichen Afrikas allgemein adäquat darzustellen. Diese Änderungen fanden über mehrere Monate im Jahr 2009 statt. Als zweites Beispiel soll die Einführung von gendergerechten Termini aufzeigen, wie im Jahr 2020 die Debatte zur Gleichstellung der Geschlechter auch im Sprachgebrauch Einzug in unseren Thesaurus hielt.

    Series Statement: Asia-Pacific Environment Monograph 15
    Keywords: Australien Papua-Neuguinea ; Bergbau ; Ressource
    Abstract: Standing on the broken ground of resource extraction settings, the state is sometimes like a chimera: its appearance and intentions are misleading and, for some actors, it is unknowable and incomprehensible. It may be easily mistaken for someone or something else, like a mining company, for example. With rich ethnographic material, this volume tackles critical questions about the nature of contemporary states, studied from the perspective of resource extraction projects in Papua New Guinea, Australia and beyond. It brings together a sustained focus on the unstable and often dialectical relationship between the presence and the absence of the state in the context of resource extraction. Across the chapters, contributors discuss cases of proposed mining ventures, existing large-scale mining operations and the extraction of natural gas. Together, they illustrate how the concept of absent presence can be brought to life and how it can enhance our understanding of the state as well as relations and processes forming in extractive contexts, thus providing a novel contribution to the anthropology of the state and the anthropology of extraction.

    Abstract: Diese dreibändige Publikation mit 1739 Seiten und 42 Beiträgen widmet sich der Stellung der Völkerkunde aus Wien während der NS-Zeit, im Exil und im "Dritten Reich". Im Fokus stehen institutionelle und biographische Netzwerke sowie ideengeschichtliche Aspekte. Dies bringt akademische Fachgeschichte vor dem Hintergrund der generellen sozio-politischen Zeitgeschichte im damaligen zentraleuropäischen, aber eben auch im internationalen Kontext, systematisch zur Darstellung. Das Spektrum umfasst dabei nicht nur die zentrale Völkerkunde/Ethnologie, sondern auch wichtige Nachbarfächer von Physischer Anthropologie über Ur- und Frühgeschichte bis hin zu Volkskunde, Afrikanistik und Japanologie.Wesentliche Fragestellungen des Bandes sind ausgerichtet auf die Art von Forschungen der Völkerkunde in und aus Wien und auf deren Wechselbezüge zur jeweiligen Politik. Beleuchtet wird damit zum einen das Ausmaß der Beteiligungen an verbrecherischen Aktivitäten zur NS-Zeit, zum anderen inwieweit das Fach in Aktivitäten des Widerstands gegen das NS-Regime eingebunden war. Besonderes Augenmerk wurde auf die Herausarbeitung feiner Nuancen innerhalb der manchmal fließenden Übergänge zwischen Anpassung und Widerstand gelegt. Für die Bearbeitung der Beiträge, an denen 28 Autor/inn/en mitwirkten, wurden insgesamt mehr als hundert verschiedene Archive in zehn Ländern genutzt. Publizierte oder selbst initiierte Interviews mit Zeitzeugen und Familien-Angehörigen ergänzten die Archivforschungen in einigen noch möglichen Fällen.Der Dreibänder bietet auch einen aussagekräftigen Index und mehr als 250 anschauliche Bildquellen, die der Öffentlichkeit zumeist erstmals zugänglich gemacht werden.

    Abstract: This dissertation explores the values and practices of young, middle-class South Koreans and what it means for them to live a good life. Based on 12 months of ethnographic fieldwork, it attends to the pathways and life trajectories of young adults living, studying and working in Seoul, the country`s economic, political, cultural and educational centre. Due to changing economic conditions, it appears to be increasingly difficult for young people today to reproduce middle-class status. In public discourse, these difficulties are expressed in the terms `Spec` or `Give-up Generation`. At the same time, young people are starting to question middle-class lifestyles and values and turn to practices which emphasise different standards. The author illustrates how young adults negotiate middle-class ideals by contextualising the values around four key themes - education, marriage, consumption, and work. In doing so, she explores her interlocutors` thoughts and reflections about middle-class values through a theoretical and methodological framework centred on ordinary ethics and the everyday use of money. This ethnography sheds light on the complex and heterogenous ways young people in South Korea conceptualise and realise the good in their lives, and it focuses attention on the explicitness of ethics and the relationship between money and values in these young Seoulites` everyday lives and social relations.

    Abstract: What is the heritage of our cities? Which are the monuments, places, and spaces in which it accumulates, and by which practices is it formed, handed down, appropriated? Gerhard Vinken takes the readers to twelve cities on three continents and analyses the diverse and contradictory heritage formations that have had a lasting impact on urban life. The vitality of urban heritage, as these vivid and in-depth case studies show, lies in the dynamic and often conflictual processes of social appropriation and interpretation. Covering a diverse range of themes, the book familiarizes the reader with important questions and theories in urban research and heritage studies. (Verlagsangaben)

    Abstract: The history of development has paid only little attention to cultural projects. This book looks at the development politics that shaped the UNESCO World Heritage programme, with a case study of Ethiopian World Heritage sites from the 1960s to the 1980s. In a large-scale conservation and tourism planning project, selected sites were set up and promoted as images of the Ethiopian nation. This story serves to illustrate UNESCO`s role in constructing a "useful past" in many African countries engaged in the process of nation-building. UNESCO experts and Ethiopian elites had a shared interest in producing a portfolio of antiquities and national parks to underwrite Ethiopia`s imperial claims to regional hegemony with ancient history. The key findings of this book highlight a continuity in Ethiopian history, despite the political ruptures caused by the 1974 revolution and UNESCO`s transformation from knowledge producer to actual provider of development policies. The particular focus on the bureaucratic and political practices of heritage, bridges a gap between cultural heritage studies and the history of international organisations. The result is a first study of the global discourse on heritage as it emerged in the 1960s development decade. (Verlagsangabe)

    Doing being father in Côte D`Ivoire : Intimate fathering, performances of care and paternal determinism (2021)

    Language: English
    Pages: 1 Online-Ressource (35 Seiten)
    Series Statement: Arbeitspapiere. Institut für Ethnologie und Afrikastudien 196
    Abstract: In this paper, I analyze fathering/fatherhood as performative practices. I suggest that both "fatherhood" (emic conceptualizations of the social role of being a father) and "fathering" (the practices associated with being a father) should be discussed together in order to better understand how discourses and practices of intimacy, care and paternal determinism provide fathers with building bricks for their individual self-choreographies as men and fathers. Despite a dominant discourse of the responsible father as "provider", imaginaries of caring intimate fatherhood were produced and shared through social media and in narrative interviews with middle-class fathers in Côte d`Ivoire. For many of my interlocutors, intensive fathering offered an alternative and attractive way of living and was used to renegotiate and reevaluate gender roles, the relations between the nuclear and the extended family and to craft imaginaries of a proper childhood that largely differed from their own. By imagining and with ostentation performing being a particular kind of father, men used fatherhood as a means of aspirational identity work. I will further argue that intimate fatherhood and emic theories of parental determinism are in fact a reinterpretation of "hegemonic masculinities" rather than its opposite. My paper thus addresses a two-parted blind spot in social sciences: first it focuses on paternal performances of care, which still are often neglected in favor of mothering and second it argues against the dominant discourse of fatherhood in crisis by highlighting a more nuanced view of engaged fatherhood. The paper is based on ethnographic fieldwork and narrative interviews with fathers and parenting experts as well as father`s self-choreographies of intimate fatherhood in social mediaKeywords: West Africa, fatherhood, fathering, parental determinism, performance, masculinity | Westafrika, Vaterschaft, Vatersein, Eltern-Determinismus, Performance, Maskulinität

    Abstract: Central Peripheries explores post-Soviet Central Asia through the prism of nation-building. Although relative latecomers on the international scene, the Central Asian states see themselves as globalized, and yet in spite of - or perhaps precisely because of - this, they hold a very classical vision of the nation-state, rejecting the abolition of boundaries and the theory of the `death of the nation`. Their unabashed celebration of very classical nationhoods built on post modern premises challenges the Western view of nationalism as a dying ideology that ought to have been transcended by post-national cosmopolitanism.Marlene Laruelle looks at how states in the region have been navigating the construction of a nation in a post-imperial context where Russia remains the dominant power and cultural reference. She takes into consideration the ways in which the Soviet past has infl uenced the construction of national storylines, as well as the diversity of each state`s narratives and use of symbolic politics. Exploring state discourses, academic narratives and different forms of popular nationalist storytelling allows Laruelle to depict the complex construction of the national pantheon in the three decades since independence. The second half of the book focuses on Kazakhstan as the most hybrid national construction and a unique case study of nationhood in Eurasia. (Umschlagtext)

    COVID-19 and (im)mobilities in West Africa (2021)

    Abstract: This study examines recent developments of mobility patterns in West Africa within the context of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. A broad understanding of mobilities is applied to account for mobilities of people, goods and capital likewise. The aim is to track changes in mobility patterns caused by the pandemic and by institutional responses to the latter. The study may herein serve to encourage more in depth and comprehensive studies of the new (im)mobilities and the regimes that shape them. Embedding the subject of mobility changes into the political-economic framework of the networks of global capitalism and taking a perspective on the formative regimes, we develop first suppositions on how to apply the concept of (im)mobility regimes to assess the newly manifested (im)mobilisations. To shed light on the bigger picture of recent developments in Western Africa, this study tackles a wide range of mobility-related topics. At first, the epidemiological situation as well as the local testing regimes are analysed in order to assess the extent to which the pandemic is scientifically captured in Western Africa in contrast to other regions. By then providing a systematic outline of the lockdown policies of the individual ECOWAS member states, a first approach to the formative regimes can be given. The manifest new (im)mobilities of people are then evaluated with a focus on public transport, migratory movements and public air travel. Thereafter, the (im)mobilities of goods are discussed with a special focus on maritime freight mobilities. Finally, (im)mobilities of capital are dealt with in order to address changes and constants in the context of COVID-19, for example in the realm of remittances. Overall, this provides a first basis for a multi-dimensional understanding of the emerging phenomena in the ECOWAS region.

    Abstract: Mobile Museums presents an argument for the importance of circulation in the study of museum collections, past and present. It brings together an impressive array of international scholars and curators from a wide variety of disciplines - including the history of science, museum anthropology and postcolonial history - to consider the mobility of collections. The book combines historical perspectives on the circulation of museum objects in the past with contemporary accounts of their re-mobilisation, notably in the context of Indigenous community engagement. Contributors seek to explore processes of circulation historically in order to re-examine, inform and unsettle common assumptions about the way museum collections have evolved over time and through space.By foregrounding questions of circulation, the chapters in Mobile Museums collectively represent a fundamental shift in the understanding of the history and future uses of museum collections. The book addresses a variety of different types of collection, including the botanical, the ethnographic, the economic and the archaeological. Its perspective is truly global, with case studies drawn from South America, West Africa, Oceania, Australia, the United States, Europe and the UK. Mobile Museums helps us to understand why the mobility of museum collections was a fundamental aspect of their history and why it continues to matter today. (Umschlagtext)

    Abstract: Der Regenwald Zentralafrikas bildet einen einzigartigen Naturraum, der nur scheinbar undurchdringlich ist. Die weitverzweigten Flusssysteme bilden nicht nur das Rückgrat für die archäologische Erforschung des Kongobeckens, sondern eröffnen auch Kenntnisse über seine präkoloniale Besiedlungsgeschichte. Erstmals werden die Fundstellen entlang der Flüsse Ubangi, Lua, Sangha, Ngoko und Likwala-aux-Herbes (River Reconnaissance Project, 1985-87) detailliert vorgelegt. Für die Rekonstruktion des Besiedlungsgangs der Region sind Keramikgefäße von über 120 Fundstellen von großer Bedeutung und werden neben grundlegenden Untersuchungen zur Töpfereitechnologie stilistisch gegliedert. Die hierbei beschriebenen keramischen Stilgruppen bilden den Grundstock für eine regionalen und überregionale Rekonstruktion der Besiedlungsgeschichte des Kongobeckens.

    A _cryptolanguage of Georgian Jewish merchants (2021)

    Series Statement: Working Paper Series on Informal Markets and Trade 10
    Keywords: Georgien Jude ; Handel ; Sprache ; Kommunikation
    Abstract: The merchant language of the Georgian Jews deserves scholarly attention for several reasons. The political and social developments of the last fifty years have caused the extinction of this very interesting form of communication, as most Georgian Jews have emigrated to Israel. In a natural interaction, the type of language described in this article can be found very rarely, if at all. Records of this communication have been preserved in various contexts and received different levels of scholarly attention. Our interest concerns the linguistic aspects as well as the classification.In the following paper we argue that the specific merchant language of Georgian Jews belongs to the pragmatic phenomenon of "very indirect language." The use of mostly Hebrew lexemes in Georgian conversation leads to an unfounded assumption that the speakers are equally competent in Hebrew and Georgian. It is reported that a high level of linguistic competence in Hebrew does not guarantee understanding of the Jewish merchant language. In the Georgian context, the decisive factors are membership in the professional interest group of merchants and residential membership in the Jewish community. These factors seem to be equivalent, because Jewish members of other professional groups (and those from outside the particular urban residential area) have difficulties in following the language that are similar to those of the Georgian majority. We describe the pragmatic structure of interactions conducted with the help of the merchant language and take into account the purpose of the language`s use or the intention of the speakers. Relevant linguistic examples are analysed and their sociocultural contexts explained.

    Abstract: This book is open access and available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. It is funded by Utrecht University and the Max Planck Society.Understanding religion from a material and corporeal angle, this book addresses the ways in which refugees practice their religions and convert or develop new faiths. It also evaluates how secular institutions in Europe frame and determine what is classified as religion according to the law, and delineate the limits of religious authority, religious practice, and religious speech.The question of nationalism and migration has been shaping the political landscape in Europe for more than a decade, resulting in a nationalist upsurge. This volume places the current trajectories of people from Asia and Africa who flee from conditions such as oppression and conflict, and who are seeking refuge in Europe in a broader historical and comparative perspective. In so doing, it addresses past experiences in Europe with the role of religion in both producing and accommodating refugees, in the aftermath of the Peace of Westphalia, World War II, and in the context of the Cold War.

    Power and dysfunction : the New South Wales Board for the protection of Aborigines 1883-1940 (2021)
    Acton, ACT : Australian National University Press
    Details
    Language: English
    Abstract: In 1883, the New South Wales Board for the Protection of Aborigines was tasked with assisting and supporting an Aboriginal population that had been devastated by a brutal dispossession. It began its tenure with little government direction - its initial approach was cautious and reactionary. However, by the turn of the century this Board, driven by some forceful individuals, was squarely focused on a legislative agenda that sought policies to control, segregate and expel Aboriginal people. Over time it acquired extraordinary powers to control Aboriginal movement, remove children from their communities and send them into domestic service, collect wages and hold them in trust, withhold rations, expel individuals from stations and reserves, authorise medical inspections, and prevent any Aboriginal person from leaving the state.'Power and Dysfunction explores this Board and uncovers who were the major drivers of these policies, who were its most influential people, and how this body came to wield so much power. Paradoxically, despite its considerable influence, through its bravado, structural dysfunction, flawed policies and general indifference, it failed to manage core aspects of Aboriginal policy. In the 1930s, when the Board was finally challenged by Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal groups seeking its abolition, it had become moribund, paranoid and secretive as it railed against all detractors.When it was finally disbanded in 1940, its 57-year legacy had touched every Aboriginal community in New South Wales with lasting consequences that still resonate today.

    Keywords: Uganda Psychiatrie ; Heilbehandlung
    Abstract: This working paper summarizes the main findings of my Habilitation project (2015-2021), which studied the recent popularization of psychotherapy and related practices, disciplines, and discourses in Uganda. I analyze why, how, and with what effects psychotherapeutic discourses and practices have started to proliferate in Uganda since the late 1990s, who can and wants to access them, and how the rise of psychotherapy both reflects and contributes to changing imaginations and experiences of suffering and well-being, especially among upper-middle-class Ugandans. Drawing on fieldwork among therapists in Uganda, I look at psychotherapy from three different angles: as a form of meaning-making and care, a form of knowledge-making and governance, and a form of class-making. This multimodal approach challenges assumptions that either simply dismiss psychotherapy as a neoliberal form of (self-)governance, view psychotherapy as un-African, or ignore the growing socio-economic diversity within African countries when thinking about mental health care. Instead I argue that in Uganda psychotherapy is not just an externally imposed medical approach to improve global mental health; rather, it relies on psychological knowledge co-produced by local practitioners. While deeply entangled with neoliberal ideologies, psychotherapy also offers new ways of critically reflecting on capitalist modernity and new imaginations of care. (Abstract)

    Abstract: This volume comprises a curated conversation between members of the Material Culture Section of UCL Anthropology. Many of the chapters explicitly lay out the state of play in the field, challenging how the anthropology of material culture is being done, and arguing for new directions of enquiry or new methods of investigation. The contributors foreground research methods, with many of the contributors exploring the ramifications of specific methods, and exploring new methodological frameworks to address areas of human experience that require a new analytical approach.The 15 original case studies draw from a range of research contexts, including digital objects, infrastructure, digital objects, data, extra-terrestriality, ethnographic curation, medical materiality, and include timely reappraisals of now classical analytical models that have shaped the way we understand the object, the discipline, knowledge formation, and the artefact.

    Abstract: The contributions to the present volume show that the countries that are often presented in the literature as forming part of a stereotypical and seemingly monolithic "Islamic world" in fact represent considerable diversity. From Iran to Senegal, we encounter a vast array of social and religious structures, historical trajectories, political regimes and relative positions of societies and individuals. We encounter also, in many different and often unexpected ways, the individual in multiple contexts. The present volume presents perspectives on everyday life in Muslim societies beyond the spectacular. From a broad academic background in Islamic and Iranian studies, social anthropology, sociology, philosophy and history, its contributors show that everyday life as well as religious practice in countries as diverse as Senegal, Niger, Egypt, Tunisia and Iran is not informed by one single "Islamic" tradition, but rather by multiple and often surprisingly different modes of religiosity and non-religiosity.
