Race and the Senses

The Most Beautiful Job in the World

Christopher Brown & Sachi Sekimoto

An emblematic sector of contemporary capitalism, fashion, today, is one of its most powerful industries and one of its most efficient dream merchants. In this work the author sets out to understand and deconstruct the symbolic power which surrounds the creative members of the high fashion and ready-to-wear industries. Based on an in-depth investigation involving designers, models, freelance creators, hairdressers, make-up artists, salespeople, journalists, dressmakers, interns, sales representatives, etc., this book reveals the reality of the work behind the glamorous facade of fashion.

The Felt Politics of Racial Embodiment In this book, Sachi Sekimoto and Chris Brown show how race is not simply marked on our bodies, but rather is felt or sensed. They argue that bodily experiences of race are an important part of the mechanisms of social and ideological constructions of race that uphold hierarchy and oppression. Grounded on the authors’ experiences, one as a Japanese woman living in the USA, and the other as an African American man from Chicago, this is a book about how we feel the racialized world into being.

Why Muslim Women and Smartphones Mirror Images

Karen Waltorp, Aarhus University, Denmark In this study, Karen Waltorp examines the effect that social media has upon Muslim women in Denmark. Building on years of ethnographic fieldwork, Waltorp's ethnography reflects her trusting relationships with these women which in turn open up nuanced discussions about both the subject at hand and best practice in conducting anthropological research. With a strong combination of rich detail and theoretical framing, this will be an important read for students of anthropology, visual culture and ethnography, and Muslim studies.

An Anthropology of Home and Mobility in Europe

A Theoretical Approach to Shifting Roofs Paolo Boccagni, University of Trento, Italy, Alejandro Miranda Nieto, University of Trento, Italy, Sara Bonfanti, University of Trento, Italy & Aurora Massa, University of Trento, Italy This book lays out a framework for understanding connections between home and mobility, and situates this within a multidisciplinary field of social research. The authors show how the idea of home offers a privileged entry point into pressing contemporary topics such as forced migration, diversity and inequality. Using original fieldwork conducted across Europe, the authors consider a comparative approach with case studies from Latin America, Africa and the Indian subcontinent.

Living with Strangers

Bedsits and Boarding Houses in Modern English Life, Literature and Film Edited by Chiara Briganti, King's College London, UK & Kathy Mezei, Simon Fraser University, Canada This book examines the history and cultural representation of bed-sitting rooms and boarding houses in England from the early 20th century to the present. The authors explore how these alternative domestic spaces came to provide shelter for a diverse demographic from working women to criminals. Drawing on historical records, case studies, and examples from literature, art, and film, they look at the prevalence of bedsits in novels, detective thrillers, cartoons, Ealing comedies, and contemporary fiction and film. This is a significant contribution to the growing cross-disciplinary field of home studies.

Food Identities at Home and on the Move Explorations at the Intersection of Dwelling and Belonging

Edited by Raul Matta, Taylor's University, Malaysia, Charles-Edouard de Suremain, Director of Investigation, UMR 208 PaLoc « Local Heritage, Environment & Globalization » (IRD/ MNHN, Paris, France) & Chantal Crenn, Université Bordeaux Montaigne, France This volume examines how the idea of “home” is negotiated around food in the current worldwide context of uncertainty, mobility, and displacement.

Thinking Home

Interdisciplinary Dialogues Edited by Bojana Petric, Birkbeck University of London, UK & Sanja Bahun, University of Essex, UK In a period which has seen unprecedented levels of movement across the globe, Sanja Bahun and Bojana Petric have collated essays that examine what it means to be at home. While ideas about the home inform our feelings of belonging and displacement, and our activities, such as migration, housing, and language learning, Thinking Home looks to specific under-studied areas and presents a framework for assessment of these aspects using multiple disciplinary and expressive lenses. Fresh, timely and topical, this collection is rooted in activism and policy-making in the sector of 'home'.

Space, Identity and Belonging in the Nineteenth-Century American West Nina Vollenbröker

Entangled Things takes the concept of entanglement as its starting point in investigating the often unintentional relationship between us and the material things we love or hate, are obsessed with or reliant upon. Alison Hulme uses each chapter to focus on a specific ethnography to illustrate a particular form of entanglement and uses this to discuss specific theories that relate to entanglement.

This book considers how migrants and settlers in the 19th-century American West used their architecture, spatial practice, clothes and diet to make themselves at home in unfamiliar surroundings. Nina Vollenbröker brings together a large number of historic photographs, drawings, manuscript diaries and needlework projects from archives across the United States and, in the process, deconstructs stereotypes which have clung to the nineteenth-century western spaces and people for decades.

Caravans

Lives on Wheels in Contemporary Europe Hege Høyer Leivestad, Stockholm University, Sweden Leivestad opens the caravan door to show how daily life is organised among Britons and Swedes in mobile homes. This highly detailed, engaging and topical ethnography investigates how the caravan and campsite come to fit and challenge conventional domestic ideals, and how the static mobile caravan can instill a sense of freedom despite always staying still. As the first ethnographic study of caravan life, this is a refreshing take on contemporary mobility debates.

The Anthropologist as Curator Edited by Roger Sansi

Can the ethnographer learn from the managing skills developed by curators? Are there skills to be learned by anthropologists from curators in relation to mediation? Are the micro-politics of mediation between institutions, communities, and different kinds of agent something for consideration in anthropological study? In this collection, these questions are engaged with, alongside ideas from Arnd Schneider, Chris Wright and Tim Ingold to suggest a new way of thinking about anthropological practice.

The Time of Anthropology

Studies of Contemporary Chronopolitics Edited by Elisabeth Kirtsoglou & Bob Simpson Using questions raised as part of the Enlightenment movement, this volume is structured around some of the key themes the Enlightenment fostered, including human nature, time, earth and the cosmos, beauty, order, harmony and design, and moral sentiments. The volume focuses in particular on how 'moral sentiment' offered a guiding idea in Enlightenment thought, and the idea of it is central to the essays' grappling with the ethical anxieties of contemporary anthropology. With an Afterword from Marilyn Strathern, this volume will be a strong addition to the ASA conference proceedings.

Ethnographic Encounters

Crowds, masses and other types of large groups form in every human culture and society. But what exactly is a crowd? This book features essays from ten anthropologists who reflect on encounters with crowds during their fieldwork. The wide selection of case studies includes crowds at the Hajj, New Year celebrations in China, commuters on the Delhi metro, and protest movements in Thailand and Syria.

Anna Laine, Swedish National Heritage Board, Sweden “Anna Laine takes us on a wonderful journey, ethnographically rich and sensitive in the treatment of her collaborations with Tamils in South India and the diaspora, as well as with museums and academic institutions, always informed by her own art practice.” Arnd Schneider, University of Oslo, Norway An in-depth exploration of interdisciplinary work in the expanding space between art and anthropology, Anna Laine’s decades-long engagement with art practice, artistic research and anthropology provide her with a unique perspective on the connection between the two fields.

How are notions of ‘home’ made and negotiated by ethnographers? And how does the researcher relate to forms of home encountered during fieldwork? This collection asks how home gains its meaning and significance through ongoing efforts to create, sustain or remake a sense of home. It explores how researchers and informants alike are involved in the process of making and unmaking home, and challenges readers to reimagine ethnographic practice in terms of active, morally complex processes of home-making. Contributions reach across the globe and different social contexts, including council housing and middle-class apartment buildings, and homelessness and migration.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art

An Anthropology of Identity Production in Far North Queensland Gretchen Stolte, the University of Western Australia, Australia. This book explores how urban indigenous artists in Queensland, Australia, face a number of stereotypes and public expectations when producing art. In particular, this book demonstrates that the actions of the government body established in the 1950s to create a market for Aboriginal art, Queensland Aboriginal Creations (QAC), has left a mixed legacy for Queensland's indigenous artists. Their art styles have been misinterpreted as derivative copies of ‘true’ indigenous works and positive outcomes that emerged from QAC’s engagement with communities and artists have been overlooked.

The Biennale of Dakar and the Making of Contemporary African Art

Ethnographic Encounters

Jagannath, Popular Culture and Community Formation

What can an art biennale in Dakar, Senegal, tell us about current discourses surrounding the place of art in the world, and in the study of anthropology? Using insights from art curators and anthropologists, this volume uses the Dak'Art biennale to encourage conversations around these topics. The book surveys the history of the event and considers it in conjunction with the rise of contemporary art in Senegal. It also includes discussions on Dak’Art's objectives and its position in the international art world’s networks.

Jagannath is metonymic of Odisha and Odia way of life, arguably much more than any other god for a particular geography or its peoples. The volume attempts looks at the deployment of Jagannath in contemporary cultural practices involving the sensorium in the widest sense. Jagannath’s tribal origin, his association with Buddhism and Jainism and his avatari status makes him an all-encompassing, multi-layered symbol and a treasure trove for multiple interpretations.

Politics of Recuperation

Denis Regnier, University of French Polynesia in Tahiti.

Edited by Francisco Martinez

Ethnography, History, Cognition

Denis Regnier explores the prejudice against slave descendants in highland Madagascar and considers its persistence for more than a century after the official abolition of slavery. Regnier's field experiments prove the inaccuracy of the widely accepted idea that the social stigma against slavery is a legacy of pre-colonial society. With fascinating implications, based on detailed and painstaking fieldwork, Regnier's work will be of interest to anthropologists of Africa, students of international development, and those looking at the legacy of slavery.

Repair and Recovery in Post-Crisis Portugal How did Portuguese society recover after the economic crisis? Through a range of ethnographic case studies focusing on the Portuguese recovery, this book begins a conversation about the experience of recuperation. With chapters focusing on public art in Lisbon and on recuperative modes of action, the book takes a thorough look at a society in post-economic crisis, and shows how the people of the community created micro-communities of resistance. Ultimately, Politics of Recuperation reflects on the meaning of personal and collective resilience in Europe today, as well as on the limits and margins of contemporary democracy.

Collaborations

Anthropology in a Neoliberal Age Edited by Emma Heffernan, Fiona Murphy & Jonathan Skinner Cuts in public spending and the introduction of neoliberal values into academia have led to growing pressure on the humanities and social sciences to justify their impact and utility. Collaborations responds to this challenge and explains how anthropology can not only survive but thrive under these conditions. Arguing ‘in defence of’ anthropology, the book demonstrates its continued importance and shows how the discipline contributes towards solving major problems in contemporary society. It also suggests that symbiotic collaboration with other disciplines is the key to anthropology’s longterm sustainability and survival.

An Introduction from 1830 to Present Nicola Humble, University of Roehampton, UK This fascinating exploration into the literature of food is aimed at students of food and literature across a range of disciplines. Considering the food of modernist, post-modernism, crime fiction, the realist novel and children's literature, this is the first systematic study of the literature of food from the 19th century to the present. Food is shown to be as prevalent and active in literary texts as it is in our own lives, from the lavish dinner parties of the Victorian novel to the scrumptious feasts of the childhood story.

Slow Food

David Roochnik, Boston University, USA

Valeria Siniscalchi, Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, France

What Ancient Greece Can Tell Us About Food and Wine Is sharing a good meal with friends and family an experience of life at its best? Or does food exemplify the worst of our world - a burdensome necessity which distracts us from the serious business of living? David Roochnik explores these questions by discussing classical works of Greek literature and philosophy in which food and drink play an important role. He shows how foregrounding food in philosophy can open up ways of understanding these different thinkers and their approaches to the purpose and meaning of life.

Thinking with Soils

Material Politics and Social Theory Edited by Juan Francisco Salazar, University of Western Sydney, Australia Without soil there can be no life. Two major societal concerns at present – food security and ecological threats brought about by global climate change – have soil at the centre of them. This book challenges us to attend more carefully to how we think about soil, both materially and theoretically. With contributions outlining the politics of caring for soils; the ecological and symbiotic relations between soils, minerals, and their animal and vegetable companions; the volume develops a novel and systematic social theory of soil.

How are sectarian identities played out in the performance of food piety? What do food practices tell us about how women negotiate changes in family relationships, and home and workplace balance? This collection offers a variety of distinct perspectives on these questions. Methodologically, the essays use imaginative reconstructions of women’s experiences, particularly where the only accounts available are written by men.

From Paddock to Platform Tania Lewis, RMIT University, Australia From home cookery to restaurant-going, farming to food politics, the world of food is being quietly colonised by an array of electronic devices. Meanwhile, the digital realm has been invaded by all things food-related. Using real-life examples and drawing on theoretical frameworks from media studies, cultural studies, and food studies, Tania Lewis presents a comprehensive analysis of how our relationship to food is changing in a digital world.

Case Studies in Transitions Towards Sustainability from France and Brazil Claire Lamine, INRA, France

Claire Lamine uses in-depth case studies to compile a critical survey of transitional approaches to sustainable agrifood systems. Lamine's work explores the translation of agroecology into government programmes, and focuses on the governance of France and Brazil in particular. These two countries are pioneers in implementing agroecology, yet differ in their visions and execution. Providing new options for understanding the complex issue of agrifood transitions, this book will make an impact for those studying food systems, geography, sociology, politics and agriculture.
