  • Fight for Better Rules

    Open AccessEllen HertzARTICLEEthnologia Fennica2023References: 4

    Rules are a basic property of human societies and yet they occupy a historically contested place in the modern narrative about what makes us human. Rules are infinitely malleable and ambivalent, at the same time a reflection of power inequities, a mechanism for reinforcing these inequities and a means to challenge them. Transgressing them can both create new spaces of freedom and reinforce the norms that they seek to establish. Reframing rules as…

  • Anthropological Engagement in the International Sphere

    Open AccessPeter Bille Larsen, Mô Bleeker et al.ARTICLESwiss Journal of Sociocultural…2022

    As anthropologists increasingly embark upon the study of the international sphere, this often builds on different forms of engagement within and around organizations, processes, and institutional corridors. The co-authors, building upon a round table exchange, address the advantages and dilemmas of anthropological engagement in the field of international governance, including humanitarian work, diplomacy, international organizations, the Swiss fe…

  • Masculinisme, changement climatique et catastrophes produites par les hommes. Vers une réponse environnementale proféministe

    Bob Pease, Ellen Hertz et al.ARTICLENouvelles Questions Féministes2021

    Cet article explore le caractère genré des causes et des réponses aux événements climatiques dans le monde, en prenant comme toile de fond le changement climatique induit par les humains et l’augmentation des catastrophes naturelles liées au climat. Il soutient les arguments féministes de longue date selon lesquels les politiques environnementales progressistes ne sont pas exemptes de masculinité hégémonique et de masculinisme. Loin de promouvoir…

  • Rich man, poor man, middleman, thing

    Open AccessEllen HertzARTICLECritique of Anthropology2021References: 4

    The author reviews the fine ethnographic analyses in this special issue and argues that they become more coherent if power is understood as a sociotechnological network. This further implies that anthropologists' conclusions about how power is exercised must be modest, both historically situated and politically targeted, if the discipline wishes to contribute meaningfully to holding the powerful to account

  • Response to my critics

    Open AccessEllen HertzARTICLEJournal of Legal Anthropology2020References: 1

    Anna Beckers and Ioannis Kampourakis have formulated sophisticated critiques of ‘The Great Shell Game’, and I have learned a great deal from this exchange. Some of their criticism can be answered by clarifying the terms of the debate, which I do briefly below. I wish, however, to maintain the general thrust of my argument, and even to double down. With my title, I make an analogy between CSR and the confidence trick played by street operators who…

  • Corporate Social Responsibility

    Open AccessEllen HertzARTICLEJournal of Legal Anthropology2020Cited by: 2References: 12

    The business of business is business,’ Milton Friedman, a leading figure of the Chicago School of economic thought, famously declaimed. In his 1970 article, ‘The Social Responsibility of Business Is to Increase Its Profits’, he argued that corporate managers who factor social and environmental considerations into their decision-making are, in effect, ‘imposing taxes . . . and deciding how the tax proceeds shall be spent’. By deviating from their …

    1 Introduction Over the course of the past forty years, the concept of participation has profoundly modified the discourse and practice of international and national policy-making and implementation, in areas as different as urban planning and community development (Arnstein 1969; Cornwall 2008), humanitarian aid (Hinton 1995), the environment (Eden 1996) and international development (World Bank 1996; Michener 1998; Botchway 2001). The participa…

  • Pimp my fluff

    Open AccessEllen HertzARTICLEAnthropological Theory2016Cited by: 4References: 11

    This article is fueled by irritation with obscurantism in and posturing around 'theory' in contemporary anthropology. It examines three examples of contemporary anthropological production that build on what has become a cult reference in this regard, the incomprehensible A Thousand Plateaus by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. These examples involve the reconceptualization of crafting (Ingold), of causation (Remme) and of the rhizome (Mueller), …

    Alors que la pression médiatique et politique autour de “l’affaire du foulard” a un peu diminué, au moment cependant où les effets de la loi du 15 mars 2004 (interdisant aux élèves des écoles publiques le port de signes religieux “ostentatoires”) commencent à se faire pleinement sentir, NQF propose de recadrer le débat, en apportant des perspectives historiques, anthropologiques, sociologiques et internationales sur les enjeux profonds de cette q…
