Cross-sectoral dialogues with social movements in Southeast Asia: Translating values, affects, and practices in a polymorphic region
The examination of social movements in Southeast Asia involves tackling the question of the co-existence and interaction of different forms of research on and with social movements. Activists, artists, academic researchers, social advocates and practitioners might consider what it means for them to connect to each other, as well as to engage in intercultural and ideo-praxical translations. By discussing particular case studies in the region, we w…
Siblings, comrades, friends: Kin(g)ship, hierarchy, and equality in Thailand's youth struggle for democracy
This article provides an innovative anthropological analysis of youth activism in contemporary Thailand by examining its past and current manifestations through an unusual theoretical nexus-that between (cosmological) politics and kinship tropes. Against the backdrop of the Buddhist kingdom's long-standing cult of the 'Father-King', the article focuses on the 2020 Thai democracy movement in relation to student demonstrations in the 1970s. It aims…
Contested futures: The 'humanitarian value' of childhood in rural Sierra Leone
This article explores contrasting social constructions of the 'value of children' in a rural village in Northern Sierra Leone. It investigates how the meanings of childhood, its temporal extension and children's (present and future) roles are differently interpreted in the context of humanitarian intervention. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and participatory research with children, it explores how child work and education are conceptualised by…
Invisible Worldings’: Image and Reality in the Thai Seafood Industry’s Humanitarian Engagements
This article explores the interplay between image and reality in the Thai seafood industry’s humanitarian engagements with migrant labour. Revisiting Aihwa Ong’s notion of ‘worlding’ and Peter Jackson’s discussion of the ‘Thai regime of images’, it examines the situated, informal interactions between migrant rights NGO s, fishing companies and state officials in the Thai port city of Samut Sakhon, on the outskirts of Bangkok. Through ethnographic…
Gendering childhood(s) and engagement with schooling in rural Sierra Leone
In spite of widespread initiatives to improve access to education for girls, substantive concerns remain. While there is a rich and growing body of literature on gendered experiences of school in majority world contexts, absent is a focus on how this intersects with children’s out of school lives. Further, research with children in rural communities is limited, including those who are in the earlier years of their schooling. This paper addresses …
Becoming 'brilliant: Generationing education and development in rural Sierra Leone
This paper explores the generationing of education and development in five villages in Northern Sierra Leone. Understood as 'fields' governed by power dynamics, we consider how the interactive 'fields' of generation, education and development coalesce, re/structuring adult and child 'being' and 'doing'. We explore the tensions that arise between transformation and preservation in the field in light of wider social, cultural and economic change, a…
Political theologies and development in Asia: Transcendence, sacrifice, and aspiration
A timely reassessment of the critical potential for political theology, this volume expands beyond the tendency to focus on the (post-)Christian West to open new lines of investigation. Through detailed empirical studies of development in Asia the chapters cast new light on the entanglements between religion and politics in this diverse region
Translating religion and development: Emerging perspectives from critical ethnographies of faith-based organizations
Since the turn of the twenty-first century, there has been a remarkable surge of interest among both policy makers and academics on religion and its engagements with development. Within this context, ‘religious non-governmental organizations (RNGOs)’ or ‘faith-based organizations’ (FBOs) have garnered considerable attention. Early attempts to understand FBOs often took the form of typological mapping exercises, the cumulative effect of which has …
