How to Be Irish in an Epidemic
The End of Intimacy
Though comparisons between HIV and SARS-CoV-2 are of limited use, many people experience the epidemics simultaneously. For those of us living with HIV, every comment on COVID-19 becomes a fretful allegory of HIV, and the ethical lessons that COVID-19 teaches will inevitably be brought to bear on how we understand the meaning of the HIV epidemic, especially as it pertains to sexuality. This essay describes some of the ways gay men in Dublin, Irela…
L'enfer, c'est les autres
During the COVID-19 emergency, people around the world are debating concepts like physical distancing, lockdown, and sheltering in place. The ethical significance of proximity-that is, closeness or farness as ethical qualities of relations (Strathern 2020)-is thus being newly troubled across a range of habits, practices, and personal relationships. Through five case studies from Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United States…
Repealing Ireland's Eighth Amendment
In 2018, the Irish public voted to repeal the Eighth Amendment to the Irish Constitution, which since 1983 banned abortion in the country. While this was a watershed moment in Irish history, it was not unconnected to wider discussions now taking place around the world concerning gender, reproductive rights, the future of religion, Church–State relationships, democracy and social movements. With this Forum, we want to prompt some anthropological i…
Land and Life
D ouglas, M ary (1921–2007)
Mary Douglas was one of the most important anthropologists of the twentieth century. Her studies of bodily symbolism, pollution beliefs, ritual, ideas about nature, the politics of risk, and the Bible were broadly influential. Looking back on her many contributions, she claimed that her principle interest all along was to articulate an anthropological theory of the social basis of thought. She remained committed to the sociology of Émile Durkheim…
Becoming Witches
In the Papua New Guinea highlands, kumo witches see inside persons (their victims) but conceal themselves from sight. Evangelical and Pentecostal sermons often focus on these dynamics of in/visibility: they may, for example, linger on ways in which Christian piety is evinced as a shine on the body that deflects the covetous and hungry gaze of witches. Members of these congregations are said to be covered by the blood of Christ, and only those who…

Vital Publics of Pure Blood
Blood supplies have become indexes of national security and the public good. While blood shortages can provoke anxiety, controversies continue to erupt in many countries over proper donor screening, especially with reference to HIV. This article sketches these dynamics in several global settings, focusing especially on activist efforts by gay men to reform exclusionary blood donor guidelines. The contours of the debate recall familiar conflicts b…

The article also seeks to link thinking and experience inside romantic relationships (e.g., bonding, jealousy) to patterns of social be…
