Naming and Namelessness
In describing how naming is a universal and critical space in which to understand the nature of recognition, this review argues that the inherent tension between the fixity and flow of the name allows us to better think about the underlying concerns in the study of language, the politics of designation, and anthropology's own reliance on naming practices. By looking to a number of different genealogies in anthropology, the article describes how s…

Having inherited the cor…
Brand displaced
