Tourism: Between Place and Performance
Many accounts of tourism have adopted an almost paradigmatic visual model of the gaze. This collection presents an expanded notion of spectatorship with a more dynamic sense of embodied and performed engagement with places. The approach resonates with ideas in anthropology, sociology, and geography on performance, invented traditions, constructed places and traveling cultures. Contributions highlight the often contradictory, contested and paradox…
The Age of Dwindling American Empire: Soldiers, Gaming, and Affective Labor in Warzones
This essay examines the global logics of neoliberalism, and the biopolitical and affective modes of experience that neoliberalism generates. American soldiers, playing games and fighting wars, are living embodiments of the Military Industrial Media Entertainment Network, where boundaries are blurred, information flow is rapid, and cyber imagery prevails. But this is not merely a postmodern space of hybridity; neoliberalism is a biased, so-called …
Reimagining the Maori Haka
Debate
This article examines the ways in which American gun owners deploy a particular ethical system in their responses to instances of mass gun violence. I argue that anthropology is uniquely situated to provide a better understanding of how this ethical system is produced, thereby allowing us to move beyond the falsely dichotomous terms of the gun control debate. Recently returned from a period of fieldwork with a gun rights activist community in San…

Gun concealment, display, and other magical habits of the body
This analysis argues that armed Americans and their weapons are central agents in a network of objects and affects. Guns may not only assert agency on people but, also, firearm-human relations - emergent within the contested legal boundaries that discipline their bodily concealment and revelation - are best seen as an enchanted assemblage of performance, control, omnipotence, pleasure, and fear. Both material and semiotic in nature - guns are thi…

Basketball, Zapatistas, and Other Racial Subjects
This essay, in struggling to account for the twisted intersections of sport and race across the US-Mexico border, argues that the cultural critic must account for not only hybridity and transnational flows of labor and capital but also for structures of feeling and structures of interaction. In this framework, basketball reveals a postmodern emotional self for the indigenous Mexican that is at once gendered, racialized, resistant and complicit, f…
I'M Indian Too: Claiming Native American Identity, Crafting Authority in Mascot Debates
The author examines the ways in which people who are not “ethnically Indian ” have, nevertheless, strategically claimed Indianness to argue in favor of Native American mascots. The selective (mis)use and inflation of American Indian identity is hardly a new practice, but in this context, it occurs to very specific political ends. This debate has important consequences for all Native Americans. Indeed, it is argued here that a number of White peop…

Beyond the Cheers: Race As Spectacle in College Sport (S U N Y Series on Sport, Culture, and Social Relations)
Focusing on half-time performances, commercialized stagings, media coverage, public panics, and political protests. Beyond the Cheers offers an ethnography history and social critique of racial spectacles in college sport. King and Springwood argue that collegiate revenue producing sports are created as a spectacle, driven by a range of contradictory meanings and exploitative practices. While Native Americans are viewed largely as empty or distor…
Unsettling Engagements: On the Ends of Rapport in Critical Ethnography
The authors attempt to frame the essays in this issue of Qualitative Inquiry by arguing that an increasing emphasis on forms of "critical ethnography" in a variety of ethnographically informed disciplines has significantly complicated the notion of ethnographic rapport. Rapport, as a methodological trope and relational strategy of the ethnographic habitus, has, in some circles, already been undergoing reconsideration and revision. But too often, …

Fighting Spirits: The Racial Politics of Sports Mascots
This article explores the racial politics of sports mascots through a comparative account of the uses of Indianness at Florida State University and the centrality of Confederate symbols at the University of Mississippi. It avoids the temptation of romanticizing resistance as well as easy, if not impulsive, condemnations. Instead, employing a neo-Gramscian and poststructural framework, it seeks to complicate prevailing understandings of sports mas…
"Playing Indian," Power, and Racial Identity in American Sport: "Gerald R. Gems' "The Construction, Negotiation, and Transformation of Racial Identity in American Football
Gerald R. Gems deserves praise for his comparative history of race, sport, and identity. Too often scholars neglect the significance of sport for marginalized groups. Gems avoids this, in part, by drawing together histories and cultures frequently segregated to examine the implications of playing football for Native Americans and African Americans. Sport, as he demonstrates, has had profound effects on individual identities, social movements, and…
