The senses and the physicality of writing
In this piece, the senses and the physicality of writing lead the way to flash tips on how to craft a text otherwise. Focus is on my strategies to start writing, push through low points, enjoy the flow, but also to spend time and care on making the exit memorable
Writing Anthropology: Craft, Career, and Genres
Writing is key in anthropology, one of its main modes of communication. Teaching, research, publications, and outreach all build on, or consist of, writing. Anthropological writing styles have evolved over time according to changing politics in the discipline. One game-changer was the 1980s ‘writing culture’ debate that led to an understanding of writing as a craft to be cultivated in the discipline. Anthropological writing genres range from memo…
The Emotions: A Cultural Reader
Introducing the Anthropologist as Writer: Across and Within Genres
There you are: facing the computer screen.Your "fi eld," whatever that was, is some distance away, at least for now.You have worked through the materials you collected there, and think you have them in a promising order.Time for the next step: to write.You may not get away from the screen any time soon-not really get away.Then at some later point, you are there again in front of the screen, checking your emails.Has that publisher or editor you ha…
Coda: Autobiography in Anthropology, Then and Now
Celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of the first publication of the volume Anthropology and Autobiography (1992) edited by Judith Okely and Helen Callaway, AJEC 31(1) features an inspiring special issue devoted to this topic, then and now. Starting from the beginning, we learn about the appalling resistance Judith Okely faced when she suggested Anthropology and Autobiography as a theme for the 1989 ASA (Association of Social Anthropologists of …
Ethnographic Practice in the Present
In its assessment of the current "state of play" of ethnographic practice in social anthropology, this volume explores the challenges that changing social forms and changing understandings of "the field" pose to contemporary ethnographic methods. These challenges include the implications of the remarkable impact social anthropology is having on neighboring disciplines such as history, sociology, cultural studies, human geography and linguistics, …

Gifts, Unwanted and Ungiven
Against a backdrop of gift-giving and reciprocity as keys in building and confirming social relationships in the field, this fictional narrative reveals a string of gift-giving events that did not work out. This outcome is rarely reported on in anthropology, but here one gift was returned immediately, another promised but never produced. There is also the anti-climactic nature of a parting gift when it is time for the fieldworker to exit the fiel…
Writing Anthropology
Writing is key in anthropology, as one of its main modes of communication. Teaching, research, publications, and outreach all build on, or consist of, writing. This entry traces how anthropological writing styles have evolved over time according to changing politics in the discipline. It starts out in the late nineteenth century, showing how early writings in the discipline aimed to be objective. While writing anthropology in a literary mode goes…
Repealing Ireland's Eighth Amendment: Abortion rights and democracy today
In 2018, the Irish public voted to repeal the Eighth Amendment to the Irish Constitution, which since 1983 banned abortion in the country. While this was a watershed moment in Irish history, it was not unconnected to wider discussions now taking place around the world concerning gender, reproductive rights, the future of religion, Church–State relationships, democracy and social movements. With this Forum, we want to prompt some anthropological i…

Writing Truth to Power: Jonas Khemiri's Work in Stockholm and New York
This article explores the work of Swedish writer Jonas Hassen Khemiri, of partly Tunisian origin, in terms of cultural translation and comparison between Stockholm and New York. I discuss three texts by Khemiri in different writing genres: first, an open letter to Sweden's Minister of Justice, which went viral in 2013 and was also published in the New York Times, about racial profiling in Stockholm; second, the play I Call My Brothers, written in…
Dance, Anthropology of
The role of dance in social and cultural contexts has been a topic for focused anthropological study since the 1960s. When the Western concept of dance does not work, dance anthropologists look for bounded rhythmical movements but also dance events and dance culture. Dance can drive transition and negotiate both conflict and unity. The anthropology of dance covers all forms of dance, Western and non‐Western, ranging from dance in ritual, folk dan…
Pioneering Doktormutter
The author reconsiders German scholar Ina-Maria Greverus as a committed feminist supporter of female doctoral students and early career academics. Greverus acted as an innovator especially in the realms of anthropology and aesthetics, and initiated a new international dialogue forum with the Anthropological Journal or European Cultures, which she founded in 1990 together with Christian Giordano
Introducing the Anthropologist as Writer: Across and Within Genres
Taking existing conversations in anthropology as a point of departure, the mission of this volume is twofold: first, to identify different writing genres that anthropologists actually engage with; second, to argue for the usefulness and necessity for anthropologists of taking writing as a craft seriously and of writing across and within genres in new ways. This introductory chapter contextualizes anthropological writing historically and theoretic…

Ways of Seeing ireland's green: From Ban to the Branding of a nation
Ireland has long been identified as the Green Isle. Drawing on extensive ethnographic research, this article explores the color green in Ireland in terms of visualization and marketing in relation to dress and tourist design. The focus on different ways of seeing Ireland's green reveals the color as an identity marker, highly charged politically and culturally. Starting out as a political statement of Irish identity, green became a marker to outs…
Dancing Cultures: Globalization, Tourism and Identity in the Anthropology of Dance
Histoires de terroir: Les écrivains contemporains et l'Irlande nouvelle
L'Irlande possède une forte tradition littéraire qui pesa sur son passage à l'indépendance politique. De nos jours, cette tradition se développe grâce à une nouvelle génération d'écrivains tels que Chris Binchy, Anne Enright, Deirdre Madden, Éilís Ní Dhuibhne et Colm Tóibín. S'inspirant de Walter Benjamin et de ses deux types archaïques de conteurs - « le sédentaire qui laboure la terre » et le voyageur qui rapporte « les traditions de contrées l…

What is happening to the anthropological monograph? Live Debate at the Easa conference in Ljubljana 2008 Introduction: What Is Happening to the Anthropological Monograph
The question 'What is happening to the anthropological monograph?' has been spurred by the fact that in many of the audit and ranking contexts which are now spreading in academic life, peer-reviewed articles in international journals score higher than monographs, or as high as a whole book. This is often seen as disturbing by anthropologists, who argue that because of the nature of anthropology with its field studies, qualitative issues and exten…

The aim of this article is to explore the Irish dancing body by combining the growing social science interest in mobility with the established area of the body as a site of culture. On the basis of ethnographic observations and interviews about dance and culture in Ireland, I will discuss the Irish dancing body in relation to the construction of social memory, the embodiment of values linked to Irish national identity, mobility, dance competition…

Dancing At the Crossroads: Memory and Mobility in Ireland
Dancing at the crossroads used to be young people's opportunity to meet and enjoy themselves on mild summer evenings in the countryside in Ireland until this practice was banned by law, the Public Dance Halls Act in 1935. Now a key metaphor in Irish cultural and political life, "dancing at the crossroads" also crystallizes the argument of this book: Irish dance, from Riverdance (the commercial show) and competitive dancing to dance theatre, conve…
Ethereal expression: Paradoxes of ballet as a global physical culture
Set in 19th-century Romanticism, classical ballets are still playing to full opera houses across the globe. This article explores paradoxes of time, cultural capital and gender in ballet as a global physical culture on- and off-stage. Drawing on ethnography of three national ballet companies in Stockholm, London and New York and a contemporary company in Frankfurt-am-Main, I suggest that classical ballet is preserved because it is not only a `hig…

Critical Moves: Dance Studies in Theory and Politics
In Critical Moves Randy Martin sets in motion an inquiry into the relationship between dance, politics, and cultural theory. Drawing on his own experiences as a dancer as well as his observations as a cultural critic and social theorist, Martin illustrates how the study and practice of dance can reanimate arrested prospects for progressive politics and social change. From experimental and concert dance to more popular expressions, Martin engages …

Longing for the Land: Emotions, Memory, and Nature in Irish Travel Advertisements
With its large diaspora, Ireland has a long tradition of travel ranging from emigration to return migration, expatriate visits as well as tourism. Although Irish tourism increased substantially with the climax of the so-called Celtic Tiger in the early 1990s, Ireland was a major tourist destination even before that. This article explores emotions, memory, and nature in images (in travel catalogues and on the internet) advertising Ireland in a glo…

Literary Readings as Performance
Drawing on an anthropological study of the social organisation of the world of Irish writers, this article investigates the literary reading as performance which has become central for the career and promotion of contemporary writers. How is the reading - live as well as recorded - constituted, and how is it experienced from the writer's point of view? The data are derived from participant observation and interviews at literary festivals and conf…
Etnografisk fiktion: Om kvinnors liv i det nya Irland
Ireland's strong literary tradition was created by writers from James Joyce to Seamus Heaney, and literature was a prominent part of the national cultural revival in the late 19th century. It was the poet Yeats who initiated what has been called the literary movement which had a political impact on Ireland's passage into independence. Irish literary theorist Declan Kiberd argues in his Inventing Ireland that it was with this literary movement tha…
