Existential economics
This study unites psychological and economic anthropology by examining dreams that predict future economic outcomes, specifically the dreams of a Mexican-American owner of a corner store who faced a dilemma in 2007 about whether he should add a small bakery to his business. The study shows not only the ambiguity and complexity of the owner's dream interpretations but also, most importantly, how they led to profound reflections on economic value, …

Remembering the Hacienda
Laughing Atfirst Contact
This paper examines student perceptions of humor in the film First Contact. Based on previous critiques of cultural representations—namely, charges that some ethnographic films replicate stereotypes and that images of deified European explorers instantiate a “myth model”—the paper considers the possibility that laughter evoked by First Contact derives from the viewers’ sense of cultural superiority. For the most part, this interpretation is not c…

Magical Writing In Salasaca
This engaging case study of Salasaca, a village in highland Ecuador, examines indigenous beliefs about writing, such as Day of the Dead name lists, comparisons with weaving, and a witch who kills people listed in his book of names. Magical Writing in Salasaca demonstrates that these beliefs reflect extensive contact with birth certificates, baptism records, and other church and state documents. Wogan's inquiry into the place of literacy in the Sa…
The Gun, the Pen, and the Cannoli
The overwhelming popularity of The Godfather argues for the fact that it serves as an American myth by suggesting resolutions to key contradictions in American society. These contradictions focus on the relationship between impersonal capitalism and the personal world of family relations. While this has been noted in previous studies of the film, the key symbolic tension between orality and writing has gone unnoticed. In this article we argue tha…
Imagined Communities reconsidered
This article critically evaluates Benedict Anderson's Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism(1991), arguing that the book's popularity partly derives from its resonance with widespread, deep-seated western notions of language, especially oppositions between print and orality in terms of their relationship to cognition, emotion, history, and nationalism. The article gives reason to reconsider reactions to Anderso…
Magical Literacy
Contributing to previous studies of literacy, witchcraft, and domination, this article argues that indigenous beliefs in literacy partly derive from actual experiences with writing; that is, in addition to symbolizing and critically commenting on dominant power, these beliefs are literally about literacy. Such a focus on actual experience with writing provides a fuller picture of indigenous reactions to literacy and power, particularly state and …

Perceptions of European Literacy in Early Contact Situations
L'A. remet en cause les affirmations considerant que les indigenes voyaient, au 17 eme siecle, l'ecriture des Francais de Nouvelle France, comme un pouvoir surnaturel qu'ils craignaient. La projection ideologique europeenne est possible et la dichotomie homme/dieu n'est pas automatique chez les Amerindiens
