Negotiating everyday sameness
Introduction Higher Education (HE) can foster upward mobility, but can also reproduce inequities, including in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields. We propose that a key mechanism of inequities is the institutional preference for sameness. Methods Using focus group data from students (n students = 26) and teachers (n teachers = 9) at a Dutch STEM university, we examined what localized sameness looks like and how its re…
Creating value for objects-in-waiting
In much anthropological reflection on value creation through objects, value is conceptualized as created in circulation. Yet objects' social lives are punctuated by periods of waiting as much as they are by movement. Waiting can thus be theorized and examined as a critical pause in the circulation of objects, one that enables their value transformation and creation via social actors, institutions, and valuation processes. Demonstrating this can b…
Alternative Spaces & Artist Agency in the Art Market
This article explores what alternative, or artist-led, spaces are in Mumbai today and their role within the city’s artworld. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in two alternative spaces, it argues that these are artist attempts to exercise agency in their work for an uncertain market context. In other words, these spaces are a strategy for artists to exercise control over their work in an uncertain art market, and a means to counterbalance their d…

Making Mumbai's Emerging Art World through Makeshift Practices
India's art world has garnered significant attention as an ‘emerging art world’, but we know little about how such worlds emerge and are experienced by those working within them. This article explores this question of ‘emergence’ through an ethnography of the Mumbai art world. Gallerists, artists and other insiders generally perceive local conditions as insufficient and in-the-making. They juxtapose Mumbai against idealised, more established art …
Japanese New York
Spend time in New York City and, soon enough, you will encounter some of the Japanese nationals who live and work there. NYC is also home to one of the largest overseas Japanese populations in the world. Among them are artists and designers who produce cutting-edge work in fields such as design, fashion, music, and art. Part of the so-called“creative class” and a growing segment of the neoliberal economy, these Japanese migrants are usually middl…
Constructing the authentic modern
This article explores the concept of authenticity, and its articulation with longstanding Japanese discourses of modernity, among contemporary Japanese lifestyle migrants in New York City. Considering the cases of artists in particular, it examines how migrants narrate the ideals and goals of life in New York City, thereby elaborating on concepts of the self, authenticity, meaning, and national cultural identity
