Ungrading as Anthropological Pedagogy and Praxis
This commentary advocates for an understanding of critical pedagogy as an application of anthropological praxis. I reflect on how my implementation of a version the assessment strategy broadly known as “ungrading” emerged from fundamentally anthropological concerns, including a consideration of grades as a social construct. The specific transformative context of the COVID-19 pandemic created a well-documented set of challenges to teaching and lea…
Bringing past into present
This conversation began as a roundtable at the 2023 joint meeting of the American Anthropological Association and the Canadian Anthropology Society in Toronto. The roundtable was part of the Executive Program and was intended as a follow-up to Kisha Supernant’s keynote presentation, which was entitled ‘Truth before transition. Reimagining anthropology as restorative justice.’ Considering the sensitive nature of the topic, we responded to a select…
A translated utopia
This paper uses Star Trek's "Universal Translator" (UT) as a point of departure for considering the imagined future of mediated linguistic interactions and of contact across difference. Although such a technology does not exist, taking its potentialities seriously as folkloric devices allows for an exploration of ideologies relating to translation and mediated communication. The UT represents the hypothetical ultimate achievement of a Euro-Wester…
Hoarding the intangible
This commentary builds on the concept of "colonial hoarding" by considering how it applies to intangible cultural practices, such as language. The central processes and practices that allow language to fit within this system are its artefactualization-its ontological transformation into something tangible-and its subsequent circulation through regimes of property and access. Building on my experience as a linguistic anthropologist working with In…
Ideology and Practice in Academic Approaches to Language Revitalization
“Language revitalization” is an umbrella term that captures a range of interventions and forms of language planning that endeavor to improve the future prospects of Indigenous and minority languages, which have been marginalized through colonial violence and political and economic imperialism. The study of how best to provide this kind of support has become a vital topic across several disciplines within academia, including most obviously linguis…
Insecurity through diversity
This paper uses the themes of language rights, language choice, and language risk to consider linguistic insecurity in the Northwest Amazon (Upper Negro river) region of Brazil. Because the region is home to a large number of languages (c. two dozen), the idea of preserving this diversity is a popular theme in discourses about language in the Upper Negro river. I argue that the ideologies underlying the goal of preserving ‘diversity’ as a concept…
Language, Globalization, and Colonialism
Colonialism and globalization are related phenomena that result in, and reinforce, the dominance of colonizers' languages. Studying the ways in which they are related to language involves a study of language and inequality, marked by greater symbolic capital assigned to dominant languages. These processes may play out differently at local levels, leading to the marginalization or exclusion of some language forms, and varying forms of linguistic r…

Transforming Indigeneity
Transforming Indigeneity is an examination of the role that language revitalization efforts play in cultural politics in the small city of São Gabriel da Cachoeira, located in the Brazilian Amazon. Sarah Shulist concentrates on how debates, discussions, and practices aimed at providing support for the Indigenous languages of the region shed light on both global issues of language revitalization and on the meaning of Indigeneity in contemporary Br…

Language revitalization and the future of ethnolinguistic identity
Indigenous Names, Revitalization Politics, and Regimes of Recognition in the Northwest Amazon
Este artigo analisa como as práticas do estado e os movimentos de valorização cultural estão contribuindo para a mudança da identidade indígena e das práticas culturais dos povos tukano e baré no Noroeste da Amazônia. Considerou-se como as políticas de reconhecimento e autenticidade usada pelo estado em relação aos nomes indígenas, interagem com o esforço de valorizar e revitalizar as línguas e culturas minoritárias. Demonstrou-se que, para cada …
