Algumas palavras para Jim Ferguson: De Liisa, Roberto, George, Jess, Bóris e Márcio
Aqui, trazemos algumas palavras para homenagear o antropólogo James Ferguson, falecido no último 12 de fevereiro de 2025, aos 65 anos de idade. Ferguson era professor do Departamento de Antropologia da Universidade de Stanford, na Califórnia, Estados Unidos. Recebeu formação em Antropologia Cultural pela University of California, Santa Barbara (1979) e em Antropologia Social pela Harvard University (1981/M.A. e 1985/PhD). Teve uma carreira profis…
Uchodźcy i uchodźstwo: Od "Studiów Uchodźczych" Do Narodowego Porządku Rzeczy
Niniejsze opracowanie ma na celu krytyczne przedstawienie nieprzerwanego konstruowania uchodźców i wysiedleń jako antropologicznej dziedziny wiedzy. Sytuuje ono wyłaniające się kategorie “uchodźcy” i “studiów uchodźczych” na dwa sposoby – po pierwsze, w ujęciu historycznym, przyglądając się temu, jak zarządzano wysiedleniami w Europie w następstwie drugiej wojny światowej, po drugie zaś, poprzez prześledzenie całego szeregu różnych dyskursywnych …

The Need to Help: The Domestic Arts of International Humanitarianism
In The Need to Help Liisa H. Malkki shifts the focus of the study of humanitarian intervention from recipients to workers themselves. The anthropological commitment to understand the motivations and desires of these professionals and how they imagine themselves in the world out there, led Malkki to spend more than a decade interviewing members of the international Finnish Red Cross, as well as observing Finns who volunteered from their homes thro…
In the Name of Humanity: The Government of Threat and Care
Scientists, activists, state officials, NGOs, and others increasingly claim to speak and act on behalf of "humanity." The remarkable array of circumstances in which humanity is invoked testifies to the category's universal purchase. Yet what exactly does it mean to govern, fight, and care in the name of humanity? In this timely collection, leading anthropologists and cultural critics grapple with that question, examining configurations of humanit…
Speechless Emissaries
Professionnalisme, internationalisme, universalisme
En se basant sur une recherche anthropologique réalisée auprès de médecins finnois du Comité International de la Croix-Rouge (CICR) qui ont travaillé dans des zones de guerre et de conflits à travers le monde, cet article examine les politiques et l'éthique de la neutralité, de l'internationalisme et du professionnalisme. Celles-ci seront considérées en relation avec les débats actuels portant sur l'universalisme

Children and the gendered politics of globalization: In remembrance of Sharon Stephens
Written to honor the memory of Sharon Stephens as an exceptional anthropologist this article focuses on her groundbreaking work of critically theorizing children and childhoods in relation to the politics of late capitalism and structures of modernity. Stephens's research into the contested category of childhood is here linked specifically to the location and uses of the figure of "the child" in the gendered politics of globalization, [children, …
Die Anatomie der Feindschaft
In diesem Aufsatz stelle ich einen Ausschnitt eines größeren laufenden Projektes vor, mit dem ich eine Ethnografie der Herstellung kategorischer Feindschaft in der Region der Großen Seen in Zentralafrika entwickeln will. Ich möchte darin zur Diskussion stellen, wie die Anwendung von Gewalt ebenso wie deren erinnernde Wiedererzählung an einem Prozess der kategorischen Entmenschlichung beteiligt sind, der heute die Bürger von Burundi und Ruanda ter…

Refugees and Exile: From "Refugee Studies" to the National Order of Things
This review offers a critical mappingo f the construction-in-progress of refugees and displacement as an anthropological domain of knowledge. It situates the emergence of “the refugee” and of “refugee studies” in two ways: first, historically, by looking at the management of displacement in Europe in the wake of World War II; and second, by tracing an array of different discursive and institutional domains within which “the refugee” and/or “being…

Purity and Exile: Violence, Memory, and National Cosmology among Hutu Refugees in Tanzania
In Purity and Exile, Liisa Malkki examines the experiences of Hutu refugees in Tanzania in the aftermath of the Rwandan genocide and the Burundi civil wars. She explores how these refugees construct and maintain a sense of national identity and belonging while in exile, focusing on the interplay of memory, violence, and cosmology. Malkki argues that Hutu refugees, displaced and stripped of their homeland, reimagine their national identity through…
