Vinyl

The Journey of a Bargain Store Product from East to West

The Analogue Record in the Digital Age

Alison Hulme, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK

Dominik Bartmanski, Technische Universität Berlin, Germany and Masaryk University, Czech Republic & Ian Woodward, University of Southern Denmark, Denmark

Following the journey of eight bargain store items, On the Commodity Trail reveals the fascinating story behind everyday objects. We observe raw materials on municipal rubbish dumps in China, newly re-made products in the world’s largest wholesale market, and take a journey across the seas, to bargain stores in Europe and North America, arriving finally in the homes of consumers - from where the journey starts again. Weaving together narratives from the waste peddlers, wholesalers, store owners, and shoppers we meet along the way, Alison Hulme makes a unique contribution to our understanding of commodity chains and consumer culture.

Recent years have seen not just a revival, but a rebirth of the analogue record. As music consumption migrated to digital and online, this seemingly obsolete medium became the fastest-growing format in music sales. Combining a cultural sociological approach with insights from material culture studies, Bartmanski and Woodward explore why vinyl is experiencing a ‘rebirth of its cool’. Based on interviews with musicians, DJs, sound engineers, record store owners, collectors, and cutting-edge label chiefs from metropolitan centers such as London, New York, Tokyo, Melbourne, and Berlin, what emerges is the story of a cultural icon.

The Social Life of Materials

Digital Materialities

Studies in Materials and Society

Design and Anthropology

Edited by Adam Drazin, University College London, UK & Susanne Küchler, University College London, UK

Edited by Sarah Pink, RMIT University, Australia, Elisenda Ardèvol, Open University of Catalonia, Spain & Dèbora Lanzeni, Open University of Catalonia, Spain

This book proposes a new area of research in material culture studies. Focusing on the properties of materials, rather than the consumption of ‘finished’ products, it explores the significance of materials and how these exist through many transformations in a variety of cultural contexts. Featuring fifteen chapters written by leading scholars in anthropology, geography, design, engineering, art, and textiles, The Social Life of Materials argues that materials represent a shifting ground around which relationships, identities, and powers are constantly formed and dissolved in the act of making and remaking.

Presenting twelve chapters by scholars and practitioners working at the intersection between design and digital research, Digital Materialities provides in-depth understandings of the digital-material world from social science and design perspectives. By incorporating research from both fields, the book explores how interdisciplinary exchanges can spark new ways of thinking and designing. Case studies from the UK, Spain, Australia, and the USA offer an insight into specific digital products and interventions, drawing out the implications of digital materiality for anthropological and design theory, and considering how these developments might advance our capacity to design for the future.

Ethnography for the Internet

Digital Anthropology

Embedded, Embodied and Everyday

Edited by Heather A. Horst, RMIT University, Australia & Daniel Miller, University College London, UK

Christine Hine, University of Surrey, UK Now that the internet has become embedded in our daily lives, ethnographers find themselves facing new methodological dilemmas: how can they acquire robust knowledge about what people do on, through and with the internet? Suitable for both new and experienced ethnographers, Ethnography for the Internet explores methodological principles and provides practical strategies for coming to terms with the definition of field sites, the connections between online and offline, and the changing nature of embodied experience. Examples are drawn from a wide range of settings, including ethnographies of scientific institutions, television, social media, and locally based gift-giving networks.

M aterial C ulture / D igital A nthropology

On the Commodity Trail

The central role of anthropology in studying what it is to be human has been given new impetus in the digital world. Digital Anthropology explores how the human and digital are defined in relation to each other, cultural differences in social networking, and the practical consequences of the digital for politics, museums, design, and gaming communities. Bringing together key anthropologists of digital culture, it features a range of case studies including Facebook, Second Life, and Google Earth. Combining an impassioned style with the clarity of a textbook, this is essential reading for students of anthropology, media studies, cultural studies, and sociology.

Micromuseology

Protecting Suburban America

An Analysis of Small Independent Museums

Gentrification, Advocacy and the Historic Imaginary

Fiona Candlin, Birkbeck, University of London, UK

Denise Lawrence-Zuniga, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, USA

While there are thousands of small, independent, single-subject museums in the UK, Europe and North America, the field of museum studies remains focused almost exclusively on major institutions. In this groundbreaking new book, Fiona Candlin reveals how 'micromuseums' challenge preconceived ideas about what museums are and how they operate. Based on her fieldwork of over fifty small museums, she reveals the dramatically different models of curation, interpretation and visitor experience they offer. Destined to transform the field, Micromuseology is essential reading for students and researchers in museum studies, anthropology, material culture studies, and visual culture.

This ethnographic study explores the challenges and conflicts inherent in preserving historic twentiethcentury suburban landscapes in America. Bridging architecture, anthropology, planning, and urban studies, its unique approach combines a study of historic preservation with ethnographic fieldwork, highlighting issues of heritage, preservation, gentrification, class, ethnicity, and contested values in suburbia. Comparing five different cities in California, Protecting Suburban America offers an insight into the issues facing communities internationally: how contested preservation aesthetics and regulations are reshaping older residential neighborhoods and the consequences for their social dynamics.

Critical Craft

Design Anthropology

Technology, Globalization, and Capitalism

Theory and Practice

Edited by Clare M. Wilkinson-Weber, Washington State University-Vancouver, USA & Alicia Ory DeNicola, Oxford College of Emory University, USA

Edited by Wendy Gunn, University of Southern Denmark, Denmark, Ton Otto, James Cook University, Australia and Aarhus University, Denmark & Rachel Charlotte Smith, Aarhus University, Denmark

Challenging conventional perspectives of craft as a survival, a revival, or something that resists capitalism, Critical Craft presents thirteen ethnographies which examine what defines and makes ‘craft’ in a variety of practices around the world. The case studies offer accounts from designers, DIY enthusiasts, traditional artisans, and technical programmers - in countries such as France, Nigeria, India, Taiwan, the Philippines, and Mexico - to explore the range of activities that are labelled as craft. Moving beyond regional heritage studies, this fascinating book shows how claims about craft are an integral part of a global dialogue of power, identity, and change.

Design Anthropology provides a much-needed introduction to the concepts, methods, practices, and challenges of this new field of inquiry. Written by anthropologists who actively participate in the development of the field, the book examines the potential of design anthropology in a wide range of design activities across the globe and explores the impact of design on the discipline of anthropology. Moving from observation and interpretation to collaboration, intervention and co-creation, it is aimed at students of anthropology, design, innovation, science and technology, as well as new and experienced practitioners.

The Master Plant

A Social, Moral and Political Atmosphere

Tobacco in Lowland South America

Simone Dennis, Australian National University, Australia

Edited by Andrew Russell, Durham University, UK & Elizabeth Rahman, University of Oxford, UK

Smokefree critically examines the changes western governments have introduced to regulate smoking in recent decades. Unlike existing texts, it does not advance a public health agenda or condemn the erosion of individual rights. Instead, Simone Dennis takes a classical anthropological approach: observing and analyzing smoking practices and environments, she explores how the social, moral, political, and legal atmosphere of ‘smokefree’ came into being and the ideas that underlie it. Looking at the impact on public space and individuals, she unveils wider findings about the relationship between the state, agents, and what is seen to constitute ‘the public’. A challenging and important book.

Described as a ‘master plant’ by many indigenous groups in lowland South America, tobacco is an essential part of shamanic ritual, as well as a source of everyday health, well-being and community. The first critical overview of tobacco and its uses in the region, The Master Plant offers a contrast to the condemnation of the tobacco industry and contemporary public health discourse by considering tobacco in a more nuanced light, as an agent of both destruction and enlightenment. The book encourages new ways of thinking about the problems of commercially exploited tobacco both within and beyond this source region.

Wars of Terror

The House of Commons

Gabriele Marranci, Macquarie University, Australia

An Anthropology of MPs at Work

Analyzing the role of rhetoric and ideology in the western ‘war on terror’ and Islamic ‘jihad’ in the aftermath of 9/11, Gabriele Marranci shows that we are not experiencing a ‘clash of civilizations’ but a clash among 'civilizers' who feel under attack and use civilizational rhetoric to justify political violence. He examines why some individuals are radicalized while the majority are not and shows how conflicts escalate as one side calls for more jihad and the other for greater anti-terrorism measures, drone attacks, and bombings. A fascinating anthropological study which helps us to understand one of the most important issues of our time.

Emma Crewe, SOAS, University of London, UK This is the first anthropological study of the House of Commons, exploring the culture, power, and social relations between parliamentarians at work. Based on unprecedented access and two years of interviews and research in the Palace of Westminster and constituencies, The House of Commons provides unique insights into the lives and working relationships of MPs, undermining many commonly held assumptions. The book challenges existing scholarship on political institutions and party politics by presenting a radical new alternative to rational choice theory and new institutionalism. A must-read for anyone interested in political anthropology, politics, or the Westminster model.

Consuming Behaviours

Death and the Migrant

Identity, Politics and Pleasure in Twentieth-Century Britain

Bodies, Borders and Care

Edited by Erika Rappaport, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA, Sandra Trudgen Dawson, Northern Illinois University, USA & Mark J. Crowley, Wuhan University, China In twentieth-century Britain, consumerism increasingly defined and redefined individual and social identities. Linking politics and pleasure, Consuming Behaviours explores how individual consumers and groups reacted to changes in marketing, government control, popular leisure and the availability of consumer goods. Bridging the divide between historical and cultural studies approaches, it examines what makes British consumer culture distinctive and reveals how it is inextricably a product of both Britain’s domestic history and its relationship with its Empire, with Europe, and with the United States.

Smokefree

Yasmin Gunaratnam As Generation Exodus, our first cohort of 'mass' postwar migration, ages and begins to dies, and as fierce debates rage over the employment of international care workers and 'treatment tourism', this book considers the plight of the dying migrant as a situation that helps us to better understand some of the fundamental conditions of contemporary societies. The book aims to show how dislocated dying is very much a phenomena of our time, articulating foundational conundrums of community, belonging and citizenship.

Ethnographies of Breastfeeding

Åse Ottosson, University of Sydney, Australia

Edited by Tanya Cassidy, Maynooth University, Ireland & Abdullahi El Tom, Maynooth University, Ireland

This detailed ethnographic study explores the crafting of contemporary forms of Aboriginal manhood in the world of country, rock and reggae music making in Central Australia. Based on extensive anthropological fieldwork, it investigates how Aboriginal musicians experience and articulate various aspects of their male and indigenous sense of selves as they make music and engage with indigenous and non-indigenous people, practices, places, and sets of values. Challenging existing scholarly, political and popular understandings of Australian Aboriginal society, Making Aboriginal Men and Music in Central Australia makes a superb contribution to the study of indigenous identity in remote Australia and beyond.

Cultural Contexts and Confrontations

Featuring the latest research on the subject, Ethnographies of Breastfeeding examines variations in breastfeeding practices from around the world. Based on empirical work in areas such as Brazil, West Africa, Darfur, Ireland, Italy, France, the UK, and the US, leading scholars examine the cross-cultural challenges facing mothers feeding their infants. Reframing the traditional nature/culture debate, the book moves beyond existing approaches to consider themes such as surrogacy, the risk of milk banks, mother-to-mother sharing networks facilitated by social media, and the increasing bio-medicalization of breast milk. A highly significant contribution to global debates on breast milk and breastfeeding.

Sneakers

Street Style

Fashion, Gender, and Subculture

An Ethnography of Fashion Blogging

Yuniya Kawamura, Fashion Institute of Technology, New York, USA

Brent Luvaas, Drexel University, USA

This is the first academic study of sneakers and the subculture that surrounds them. Since the 1980s, members of American sneaker subcultures, popularly known as “sneakerheads” or “sneakerholics”, have created a distinctive identity for themselves. How have sneakers come to gain this status and what makes them attractive? In what ways are sneaker subcultures bound up with gender identity and why are sneakerholics mostly men? Based on the author’s own ethnographic fieldwork in New York, where sneaker subculture is said to have originated, this unique study traces the transformation of sneakers from sportswear to fashion symbol.

This cutting-edge book documents the evolution of street style photography from the fieldwork photos of early anthropology to the glamorized snapshots on blogs today, and explores the structural shifts in the global fashion industry that street style has helped bring about. Chronicling author and anthropologist Brent Luvaas’ experience of blogging through vivid street imagery and rich ethnographic detail, he shows that bloggers blur the distinction between professional and amateur, insider and outsider, self and brand. This book documents that blur from the ground level—from the streets of Philadelphia to the sidewalks of New York Fashion Week.

The Ethnic Restaurateur Krishnendu Ray, New York University, USA Academic discussions of ethnic food have tended to focus on the attitudes of consumers rather than creators and producers. In this ground-breaking book, Krishnendu Ray challenges this trend by exploring the culinary world from the perspective of the ethnic restaurateur. Focusing on New York City, he shows how migrants become established in new places, creating a taste of home and influencing food cultures over time through ‘taste transactions’ between producers, consumers, and commentators. Based on interviews and a wide range of historical sources, this is a fascinating read for students and scholars of food studies, culinary arts, sociology, anthropology, and urban studies.

The Never-ending Feast The Anthropology and Archaeology of Feasting Kaori O'Connor, University College London, UK Throughout history, and in all parts of the world, feasts, feasting and drinking have been the medium and arena for the display of hierarchy, status and power; the performance of competition and conflict; the negotiation of loyalty and alliances; the mobilization and exploitation of resources; and the creation and consolidation of identity through inclusion and exclusion. The Never-ending Feast is the first comprehensive, comparative study that draws upon anthropology, archaeology, and history to look at the dynamics of feasting across time, cultures, and continents throughout antiquity.

A Cultural History of the Senses Edited by Constance Classen, McGill University, Canada The definitive overview of the role of the senses from antiquity to the modern age, covering themes such as religion, philosophy, science, medicine, literature, art and media. What did the past sound like, taste like, smell like? How did it look and feel? How did people make sense of the world through their senses? These are questions which are increasingly capturing the interest of historians. A Cultural History of the Senses delves into the sensory foundations of Western civilization, taking a comprehensive period-by-period approach, which provides a broad understanding of the life of the senses from antiquity to the modern day. The volumes treat such topics as the sensory markers of gender and class, the aesthetic dimensions of material culture, religious sensibilities, the medical uses of the senses and their representation in art and literature. These investigations bring out the sensations and values which defined experience in a particular era and shaped the world view of the time. With contributions from such prominent scholars as Peter Burke, Alain Corbin, Andrew Wallace-Hadrill and Chris Woolgar, A Cultural History of the Senses sets the stage for a vital new way of understanding the past.

The Invention of Taste

The Life of the Senses

A Cultural Account of Desire, Delight and Disgust in Fashion, Food and Art

Introduction to a Modal Anthropology

Luca Vercelloni, Brandvoyant, Italy

Translated by Jamie Furniss, University of Edinburgh, UK

The Invention of Taste explores an intriguing question: why did the sensory attribute of human taste become a social metaphor and aesthetic value for judging cultural qualities of art, fashion, cuisine, and other social constructions? This book examines the wide range of factors that defined the evolution of taste – from medieval morals to philosophy, the rise of aesthetics, fashion, branding trends, and luxury worship in the age of mass consumption. An essential read for anyone in sensory studies, philosophy, sociology, cultural studies, fashion, design, branding, and gastronomy.

"Once in a while, something really revolutionary appears, something that aims to overthrow the very foundations not only of a discipline but of an entire intellectual tradition. Laplantine’s modestly titled The Life of the Senses is such a manifesto." David Eller, Anthropology Review Database

Anthropological Practice

What Anthropologists Do

Fieldwork and the Ethnographic Method

Veronica Strang, Durham University, UK

Judith Okely, Hull University, UK and University of Oxford, UK Anthropologists face increasing pressures to formulate their field methods for teaching. Unlike many hypothesis-driven ethnographic texts, this book is designed with the specific needs of the anthropology student and field researcher in mind. It explores fieldwork experiences unique to anthropology, with particular emphasis on the core anthropological method: long term participant observation. The book draws on dialogues with over twenty established and younger anthropologists, whose fieldwork spans the late 1960s to the present day and covers locations as diverse as Europe, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Africa, Iran, Afghanistan, North and South America. An essential text for anthropology students and researchers, and for all disciplines concerned with ethnography.

Obligations and Requirements Edited by Lisette Josephides, Queen's University Belfast, UK This new collection of essays is inspired by the work of world-renowned anthropologist Marilyn Strathern.

THE

Ruth Finnegan, Open University, UK Language is central to human experience and our understanding of who we are. For too long, ethnographic, aesthetic and sociolinguistic studies of language have remained apart from analyses emerging from traditions such as literature and performance. Where is Language? argues for a more complex and contextualized understanding of language, engaging with key issues such as orality, literacy, narrative, ideology and performance. Eminent anthropologist Ruth Finnegan draws together a lifetime of ethnographic case studies, reading, and personal commentary to explore the roles and nature of language in cultures across the world.
