What Is the 'Preparation' in the Preparing for Death
Tracing the illness and death of a woman I became close with in southern Iraq between 2005 and 2007, I show how the work and struggles that went into comporting to life in the face of death must be taken as powerful responses to the ways that death is received in life. I place this narrative within the context of the devastating attacks on Iraq in the Gulf War of 1991 and the subsequent 12-year sanctions that decimated the Iraqi health-care syste…
Poverty beyond Disaster in Postinvasion Iraq
Focusing on two ethnographic vignettes, I draw attention to the lives of Iraqis in poverty as not merely caught in the forms and structures of tribal obligations and sectarianism and the violence and destruction of terror but also in the "rough ground" of mundane affairs and encounters. I argue that in the overlappings and relations of lives and intentionalities resides an intercorporeal ethics of the rough ground of the everyday. An ethics of th…

Ethics and the "rough ground" of the everyday
Beyond the stories of collapse, devastation, and moral uncertainty in Iraq's recent history there are tales of connections, relations, and the entanglements of lives which are named in forms such as friendship and family, and modes of comporting to others such as care, attention, and even love, which have yet to become part of how one thinks and writes about life after the invasion. In this article the authors draw attention to a picture of the l…
A Kidnapping in Basra
In this article, I turn to the kidnapping of my friend Jabar, which took place in the southern Iraqi city of Basra in 2009, to convey the uncertainty of daily struggles and the everyday work undertaken by Iraqis to maintain their own lives and those of family members and loved ones amid the violence after the invasion of 2003. By relating everyday modes of struggle to a specific constellation of experiences surrounding Jabar's kidnapping, I put t…
Less methodology more epistemology please
One of the distinguishing features of anthropology is its reliance on the ethnographic method of sustained, long-term fieldwork in a given 'field' or set of 'fields'. This reliance on practical engagement, along with the rise in the popularity of practice theory, and embodiment as a paradigm of not only the acquisition and performance of knowledge but also as a founded mode of being-in-the-world, has resulted in discursive and epistemic deadlocks…

Making sense of everyday life - By Susie Scott
Towards an Ethics ofBeing-With
In this paper, I turn to Oum Hassan, a woman who works as a cleaner in a hotel in Basra, and show that her life is as much a life for her niece and sister as it is about maintaining her own existence in the face of tremendous pressures. Where anthropologists have insisted on the primordiality of social relationship to the constitution of personhood, I am wanting to recast some of this interest into a language of an ethics of life and being-with
