Overheating

An Anthropology of Accelerated Change Thomas Hylland Eriksen

June 2016 192pp // 215mm x 135mm (Demy format) PB 9780745336343 £18.99 HB 9780745336398 £60 PDF 9781783719846 £60 EPUB 9781783719853 £18.99 Kindle 9781783719860 £18.99

The world is overheated. Too full and too fast; uneven and unequal. It is the age of the Anthropocene, of humanity’s indelible mark upon the planet. In short, it is globalisation - but not as we know it.

In this groundbreaking book, Thomas Hylland Eriksen breathes new life into the discussion around global modernity, bringing an anthropologist’s approach to bear on the three interrelated crises of environment, economy and identity.

He argues that although these crises are global in scope, they are perceived and responded to locally, and that contradictions abound between the standardising forces of information-age global capitalism and the socially embedded nature of people and local practices.

Carefully synthesising the ethnographic and comparative methods of anthropology with macrosocial and historical material, Overheating offers an innovative new perspective on issues including energy use, urbanisation, deprivation, human (im)mobility, and the spread of interconnected, wireless information technology.

Thomas Hylland Eriksen is Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Oslo. He is the author of numerous books, including Ethnicity and Nationalism, A History of Anthropology, Small Places, Large Issues, Tyranny of the Moment, What is Anthropology? and Fredrik Barth, all available from Pluto Press.

Identity Destabilised

Living in an Overheated World

Edited by Thomas Hylland Eriksen & Elisabeth Schober

October 2016 288pp // 215mm x 135mm (Demy format) PB 9780745399126 £19.99 HB 9780745399133 £65 PDF 9781786800046 £60 EPUB 9781786800053 £19.99 Kindle 9781786800060 £19.99

This collection explores social identities in today’s ‘overheated’ world, seen from an anthropological perspective. The focus is on contradictions, tensions and paradoxes: How can an identity be stable if its border is constantly shifting?

How can a community survive if it is incorporated into a huge entity? How does belonging work in new cities? And what can indigenous peoples do to retain a sense of self in a fast-moving neoliberal world?

Ethnographically rich and diverse in its scope, Identity Destabilised contains chapters from many parts of the world, including the Philippines, Israel, Australia, the Cape Verde Islands and Afghanistan. The authors investigate how identity changes in response to contemporary forces, from rapid industrialisation, the enforced return of migrants and the silencing of indigenous groups to sudden population growth in boomtowns and the touristification of local culture.

Children of the Welfare State

Civilising Practices in Schools, Childcare and Families Laura Gilliam and Eva Gulløv

December 2016 272pp // 215mm x 135mm (Demy format) PB 9780745336046 £21.99 | $35 | €30 HB 9780745336091 £65 | $99 | €90 PDF 9781786800008 £60 | $95 EPUB 9781786800176 £21.99 | $35 Kindle 9781786800183 £21.99 | $35

This original ethnographic study looks at how children are ‘civilised’ within child institutions, such as schools, day care centres and families, under the auspices of the welfare state.

As part of a general discussion on civilising projects and the role of state institutions, the authors focus on Denmark, a country characterised by the extent of time children spend in public institutions from an early age. They look at the extraordinary amount of attention and effort put into the process of upbringing by the state, as well as the widespread co-operation in this by parents across the social spectrum.

Taking as its point of departure the sociologist Norbert Elias’ concept of civilising, Children of the Welfare State explores the ideals of civilised conduct expressed through institutional upbringing and examines how children of different age, gender, ethnicity and social backgrounds experience and react to these norms and efforts. The analysis demonstrates that welfare state institutions, though characterised by a strong egalitarian ideal, create negative distinctions between social groups, teach children about moral hierarchies in society and prompt them to identify as more or less civilised citizens of the state.

Faith and Charity

Religion and Humanitarian Assistance in West Africa

Edited by Marie Nathalie LeBlanc and Louis Audet Gosselin. Translated by Steven Watts

Since the 1990s, most African economies and public spheres have been liberalised, and new civil society actors have emerged. As mapped out by Marie Nathalie LeBlanc and Louis Audet Gosselin, in West Africa Christian and Muslim organisations have come to dominate the field of humanitarian assistance.

Moving beyond mainstream development theory, Faith and Charity brings out the crucial role of religion in the development process and the interplay of moral and political ideologies. From faith-based NGOs to individual local activists, the authors explore how each group makes sense of, and contributes to, the wider process of social development in the neoliberal era.

Based on extensive research and deploying a sophisticated and original frame of analysis, Faith and Charity will make an important contribution to the existing literature on development anthropology and the anthropology of religion in Africa.

Marie Nathalie LeBlanc is an anthropologist and professor in the Department of Sociology at Université du Québec à Montréal. Her publications deal with religion and social change in Côte d’Ivoire with a special focus on youth, women and Islam.

Louis Audet Gosselin is a historian and a sociologist, based at Université du Québec à Montréal. His current work focuses on the NGO-isation of Christian missions.

Anthropologies of Value

Cultures of Accumulation Across the Global North and South Edited by Luis Fernando Angosto-Ferrandez and Geir Henning Presterudstuen

August 2016 272pp // 215mm x 135mm (Demy format) HB 9780745336633 £75 | $115 | €99 PDF 9781783719785 £60 | $99

Anthropologies of Value analyses the creation of value in a wide range of political and cultural contexts. This edited collection includes anthropological case studies from around the globe; from the commodification of a Venezuelan waterfall to the relative value of penguins in periods of imperialist expansion.

Questioning the validity of binary oppositions such as ‘north/south’, ‘core/ periphery’ and ‘west/the rest’ as the basis of generalisations about culturallymediated engagements with capitalism, this collection leaves no stone unturned in its search to understand and define anthropological value theory.

It provides much-needed, controversial new material for students of anthropology, and proposes an alternative, rarely discussed method of studying the world system which challenges mainstream existing work in the field.

Luis F. Angosto-Ferrández teaches anthropology and Latin American studies at the University of Sydney. He is the author of Venezuela Reframed (Zed Books, 2015) and editor of Democracy, Revolution and Geopolitics in Latin America (Routledge, 2014).

The Limits to Citizen Power

Participatory Democracy and the Entanglements of the State Victor Albert

June 2016 224pp // 215mm x 135mm (Demy format) PB 9780745336176 £21.99 | $32 | €28 HB 9780745336121 £65 | $100 | €85 PDF 9781783717972 £60 | $95 EPUB 9781783717989 £18.99 | $32 Kindle 9781783717996 £18.99 | $32

In the twilight of Brazil’s military regime, a new union movement emerged in the south-east industrial region of São Paulo that helped give life to a new political party. The Workers’ Party, as it was called, would go on to enjoy enormous electoral success, which enabled it to champion a whole raft of participatory reforms. Today, Brazil is cited, and celebrated, as a laboratory for popular and participatory forms of government. However, no political project can exist entirely outside the power relations from which it is trying to emerge.

Drawing on long term ethnographic research, Victor Albert provides a critical analysis of citizen participation in Santo André, in the region of Greater São Paulo where the Workers’ Party was founded. He explores the challenges participants face as they take part in participatory institutions pervaded by the administrative culture of the state.

The book offers a fascinating window into how the power relations between political appointees, public officials and local community activists is expressed and reproduced in everyday interactions in public assemblies and meetings. Albert also reveals how different social actors think and feel about citizen participation away from formal assemblies, and how some participants engage in what is a tenuous, and at times mutually distrustful, tactical and strategic relationship with political patrons.

Victor Albert is currently Post-Doctoral Research Fellow for the Centre for Metropolitan Studies at the University of São Paulo.

Base Encounters

The US Armed Forces in South Korea Elisabeth Schober

April 2016 240pp // 215mm x 135mm (Demy format) PB 9780745336053 £21.99 | $34 | €30 HB 9780745336107 £75 | $110 | €100 PDF 9781783717705 £65 | $99 EPUB 9781783717712 £21.99 | $34 Kindle 9781783717729 £21.99 | $34

Base Encounters explores the social friction that US bases have caused in South Korea, where the entertainment districts next to American military installations have come under much scrutiny.

The Korean peninsula is one of the most heavily militarised regions in the world and the conflict between the North and South is continually exacerbated by the presence of nearly 30,000 US soldiers in the area. Crimes committed in GI entertainment areas have been amplified by an outraged public as both a symbol for, and a symptom of, the uneven relationship between the United States and the small East Asian nation.

Elisabeth Schober’s ethnographic history scrutinises these controversial zones in and near Seoul. Sharing the lives of soldiers, female entertainers and anti-base activists, she gives a comprehensive introduction to the social, economic and political factors that have contributed to the tensions over US bases in South Korea.

Elisabeth Schober is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Social Anthropology at the University of Oslo, where she is affiliated with the ‘Overheating’ project. She is also the author of Base Encounters (Pluto, 2016).

Small Places, Large Issues - Fourth Edition

An Introduction to Social and Cultural Anthropology Thomas Hylland Eriksen

This introduction to social and cultural anthropology has become a modern classic, revealing the rich global variation in social life and culture across the world.

The text provides a clear overview of anthropology, focusing on central topics such as kinship, ethnicity, ritual and political systems, offering a wealth of examples that demonstrate the enormous scope of anthropology and the importance of a comparative perspective. Unlike other texts on the subject, Small Places, Large Issues incorporates the anthropology of complex modern societies. Using reviews of key monographs to illustrate his argument, Eriksen’s lucid and accessible text remains an established introductory text in anthropology.

This updated, fourth edition increases the emphasis on the interdependence of human worlds. It incorporates recent debates and controversies, ranging from globalisation and migration research to problems of cultural translation, and discusses the challenges of interdisciplinarity in a lucid way. Effortlessly bridging the perceived gap between ‘classic’ and ‘contemporary’ anthropology, Small Places, Large Issues is as essential to anthropology undergraduates as ever.

Thomas Hylland Eriksen is Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Oslo.

He is the author of Overheating, Identity Destabilised, Ethnicity and Nationalism, A History of Anthropology, Tyranny of the Moment, What is Anthropology? and Fredrik Barth, all available from Pluto Press.

At the Heart of the State The Moral World of Institutions Didier Fassin et al.

The state is often regarded as an abstract and neutral bureaucratic entity.

Against this common sense idea, At the Heart of the State argues that it is also a concrete and situated reality, embodied in the work of its agents and inscribed in the issues of its time.

The result of a five-year investigation conducted by ten scholars, this book describes and analyses the police, the court system, the prison apparatus, the social services, and mental health facilities in France. Combining genealogy and ethnography, its authors show that these state institutions do not simply implement laws, rules and procedures: they mobilise values and affects, judgements and emotions. In other words, they reflect the morality of the state.

Of immense interest to both social scientists and political theorists, this work will make an important contribution to the ever expanding literature on the contemporary state.

Fredrik Barth

An Intellectual Biography

Thomas Hylland Eriksen

April 2015 264pp // 215mm x 135mm (Demy format) PB 9780745335353 £21.99 | $34 | €28 HB 9780745335360 £65 | $99 | €85 PDF 9781783713059 £60 | $99 EPUB 9781783713066 £19.99 | $34 Kindle 9781783713073 £19.99 | $34

Fredrik Barth is one of the towering figures of twentieth-century anthropology.

This intellectual history traces the development of Barth’s ideas and explores the substance of his contributions. In an accessible style, Thomas Eriksen’s biographical study reveals the magic of ethnography to professional anthropologists and nonpractitioners alike.

Exploring his six decade career, it follows Barth from early ecological studies in Pakistan, to political studies in Iran, to groundbreaking fieldwork in Norway, New Guinea, Bali and Bhutan. Eriksen argues that Barth’s voracious appetite for fieldwork holds the key to understanding his remarkable intellectual development and the insights it produced. The book raises many of the same questions that emerge from Barth’s own work - of unity and diversity, of culture and relativism, of art and science.

Thomas Eriksen is himself a major contributor to the study of anthropology, as well as a distinguished educator, and is therefore ideally placed to introduce the life and work of Fredrik Barth. This will surely be the definitive book on its subject for many years to come.

Anthropology and Development Challenges for the Twenty-First Century Katy Gardner and David Lewis

February 2015 240pp // 215mm x 135mm (Demy format) PB 9780745333649 £18.99 | $32 | €25 HB 9780745333656 £60 | $99 | €80 PDF 9781783712755 £60 | $99 EPUB 9781783712762 £18.99 | $32 Kindle 9781783712779 £18.99 | $32

Western aid is in decline. Non-traditional development actors from the developing countries and elsewhere are in the ascendant. A new set of global economic and political processes are shaping the twenty-first century.

Anthropology and Development is a completely rewritten new edition of the best-selling and critically acclaimed Anthropology, Development and the PostModern Challenge (1996). It will serve as both an innovative reformulation of the field, and as a textbook for many undergraduate and graduate courses at leading universities in Europe and North America.

The authors Katy Gardner and David Lewis engage with nearly two decades of continuity and change in the development industry. In particular, they argue that while the world of international development has expanded since the 1990s, it has become more rigidly technocratic. Anthropology and Development therefore insists on a focus upon the core anthropological issues surrounding poverty and inequality, and thus redefines what are perceived as problems in the field.

Katy Gardner is Professor of Anthropology at the London School of Economics and is the author of Global Migrants, Local Lives: Travel and Transformation in Rural Bangladesh (1995) and Discordant Development (Pluto, 2012).

David Lewis is Professor of Social Policy and Development in the Department of Social Policy, London School of Economics. He is the author of Bangladesh: Politics, Economy and Civil Society (2012) and co-editor of The Aid Effect (Pluto, 2005).

Becoming Arab in London

Performativity and the Undoing of Identity Ramy M. K. Aly

This book is the first ethnographic exploration of gender, race and class practices amongst British born or raised Arabs in London. Ramy M.K. Aly looks critically at the idea of ‘Arab-ness’ and the ways in which ethnic subjects are produced, signified and recited in the city.

Looking at everyday spaces, encounters and discourses, the book explores the lives of young people and some of the ways in which they ‘do’ or achieve ‘Arabness’. Aly’s ethnography uncovers narratives of growing up in London, the codes of sociability at Shisha cafes and the sexual politics and ethnic self-portraits which make British-Arab men and women.

Drawing on the work of Judith Butler, Aly emphasises the need to move away from the notion of identity and towards a performative reading of race, gender and class. What emerges is a highly innovative contribution to the study of diaspora and difference in contemporary Britain.

Checkpoint, Temple, Church and Mosque

A Collaborative Ethnography of War and Peace

Jonathan Spencer, Jonathan Goodhand, Shahul Hasbullah, Bart Klem, Benedikt Korf and Kalinga Tudor Silva

December 2014 224pp // 215mm x 135mm (Demy format) PB 9780745331218 £21.99 | $34 | €28 HB 9780745331225 £65 | $99 | €85 PDF9781783712144 £60 | $99 EPUB 9781783712151 £19.99 | $34 Kindle 9781783712168 £19.99 | $34

Checkpoint, Temple, Church and Mosque is based on fieldwork in Sri Lanka’s most religiously diverse and politically troubled region in the closing years of the civil war, which ended in 2009. It resolves a series of provocative arguments about the positive aspects of a religious civil society, and the strengths and weaknesses of religious organisations in conflict mediation.

For people trapped in long, violent conflicts, religion plays a contradictory role: acting as a comforting and stabilising force but also acting as a source of new conflict. Additionally, war itself can lead to profound changes in religious institutions: Catholic priests engage with Buddhist monks and new Muslim leaders, while Hindu temples and Pentecostal churches offer the promise of healing.

This book will be of great interest to students of anthropology, development studies, religious studies and peace/conflict studies.

Organisational Anthropology

Doing Ethnography in and Among Complex Organisations

Edited by Christina Garsten and Anette Nyqvist

October 2014 272pp // 230mm x 150mm (Demy format) PB 9780745335285 £18.99 | $30 | €25 HB 9780745332475 £65 | $95 | €85 PDF 9781849648660 £60 | $99 EPUB 9781849649162 £17.99 | $30 | €23 Kindle 9781849649179 £17.99 | $30 | €23

Organisational Anthropology, newly published in paperback, is a pioneering analysis of doing ethnographic fieldwork in different types of complex organisations. The book focuses on the process of initiating contact, establishing rapport and gaining the trust of the organisation’s members.

The contributors work from the premise that doing fieldwork in an organisation shares essential characteristics with fieldwork in more ‘classical’ anthropological environments, but that it also poses some particular challenges to the ethnographer. These include the ideological or financial interests of the organisations, protection of resources and competition between organisations.

Organisational Anthropology brings together and highlights crucial aspects of doing anthropology in contemporary complex settings, and will have wide appeal to students, researchers and academics in anthropology and organisation studies.

Christina Garsten is Professor at the Department of Social Anthropology at Stockholm University. She is the author of Workplace Vagabonds (2008) and co-editor of Ethical Dilemmas in Management Organizing (2009), Transnational Accountability (2008) and Transparency in a New Global Order (2008).

The Anthropology of Security

Perspectives from the Frontline of Policing, Counter-terrorism and Border Control

Edited by Mark Maguire, Catarina Frois and Nils Zurawski

July 2014 224pp // 215mm x 135mm (Demy format) PB 9780745334578 £24.99 | $40 | €32 HB 9780745334585 £80 | $125 | €105 PDF 9781783711628 £60 | $99 EPUB 9781783711635 £22.99 | $40 Kindle 9781783711642 £22.99 | $40

In a post-Cold War world of political unease and economic crisis, processes of securitisation are transforming nation-states, their citizens and non-citizens in profound ways.

The book shows how contemporary Europe is now home to a vast security industry which uses biometric identification systems, CCTV and quasi-military techniques to police migrants and disadvantaged neighbourhoods. This is the first collection of anthropological studies of security with a particular but not exclusive emphasis on Europe.

The Anthropology of Security draws together studies on the lived experiences of security and policing from the perspective of those most affected in their everyday lives. The anthropological perspectives in this volume stretch from the frontlines of policing and counter-terrorism to border control.

The Making of an African Working Class Politics, Law, and Cultural Protest in the Manual Workers’ Union of Botswana Pnina Werbner

It is now over 50 years since E.P. Thompson published his classic, The Making of the English Working Class. The Making of an African Working Class follows Thompson in exploring the formation of working class identity among low-paid African workers. In arguing for a radical public anthropology of worker identity, the book seeks to analyse the cultural, legal, ideological and experiential dimensions of labour activism often neglected in other labour studies.

Pnina Werbner shows that by fusing cosmopolitan and local popular cultural forms of protest, unionists have created a distinctive, vernacular way of being a worker in Botswana: one that does not deny workers’ roots at home or in the countryside, while being cognisant of a wider world of cosmopolitan labour rights.

The assertion of working class dignity, honour and respect, Pnina argues, is a powerful motivating force for manual workers.

Against legal-sceptical approaches, The Making of an African Working Class argues that in challenging the government - their employer - in court, manual workers’ protests and mobilisation are deeply embedded in ethics, social justice and the law.

Pnina Werbner is Professor Emerita of Social Anthropology, Keele University, author of The Manchester Migration Trilogy - The Migration Process (1990/2002), Imagined Diasporas (2002), Pilgrims of Love (2003) - and editor of several theoretical collections on hybridity, cosmopolitanism, multiculturalism, migration and citizenship.

Flip-Flop

A Journey Through Globalisation’s Backroads Caroline Knowles

This book follows the global trail of one of the world’s most unremarkable and ubiquitous objects – flip-flops. Through this unique lens, Caroline Knowles takes a ground level view of the lives and places of globalisation’s backroads, providing new insights that challenge contemporary accounts of globalisation.

Rather than orderly product chains, the book shows that globalisation along the flip-flop trail is a tangle of unstable, shifting, ad hoc and contingent connections. This book displays both the instabilities of the ‘chains’ and the complexities, personal topographies and skills with which people navigate these global uncertainties.

Flip-Flop provides new ways of thinking about globalisation from the vantage point of the shifting landscape crossed by a seemingly ordinary and everyday commodity.

Dream Zones

Anticipating Capitalism and Development in India Jamie Cross

Dream Zones explores the dreamed of and desired futures that constitute, sustain and disrupt capitalism in contemporary India.

Drawing on five years of research in and around India’s Special Economic Zones (SEZs), the book follows the stories of regional politicians, corporate executives, rural farmers, industrial workers and social activists to show how the pursuit of growth, profit and development shapes the politics of industrialisation and liberalisation.

This book offers a timely reminder that the global economy is shaped by sentiment as much as reason and that un-realised expectations are the grounds on which new hopes for the future are sown.

Jamie Cross is a Lecturer in Social Anthropology and Development at the University of Edinburgh.
