Peronist bodies
This article draws upon a Peronist street march to foreground the role that bodies play in determining protests' meanings. In it I argue that the social histories that accumulate in bodies shape how protests, protesters, and political causes are perceived. I argue that, despite the long histories that underpin these assessments, they occur in the moment of face-to-face contact between the crowd and the crowd's others. As these two groups react to…
Gender and Populism
While there is some truth to the public commentary linking populism and aggrieved (white) masculinity, there is much more to the interplay between gender and populism. This entry explores the diversity of ways that gender and populist projects are implicated in one another. Rather than treat populism as a monolithic phenomenon, anthropologists have shown its flexibility, particularly with regard to questions of gender and sexuality. This has incl…
The pandemic came to teach us how to eat
The COVID-19 pandemic has been a period of inflection in the growth of native corn revivalism in Oaxaca, Mexico. New businesses opened selling food and drinks derived from native corn, events such as seed-swaps were inaugurated, and farmers who had previously grown hybrid corn began experimenting with native seeds. This revivalism was not merely commercial or gustatory, but entailed a re-evaluation by revivalists of their relationship to native c…
Routine Crisis
In Routine Crisis, Sarah Muir explores the prevailing sentiment within the Argentine middle-class that not only have things gone wrong with their country, but that they will never be put right again. The book tracks the 'radical negativity' of the middle-class in the wake of the country's millennial economic crisis. This crisis entailed an economic collapse, the largest sovereign debt default in world history, sky-rocketing rates of unemployment …
Pyrrhic nationals
In this article I discuss an Argentine workfare program as an entry point to challenge dominant understandings of the relationship between masculinity and the nation‐state. By examining this program as it is enacted in Huerta Maipú, a community farm in the outskirts of Córdoba, Argentina, I explore how materializing nationally appropriate masculinity can impede the realization of the substantive benefits associated with national inclusion. Drawin…
“Making coin” and the networker
In this article I unpack the labour of “networking” to understand the changes in sociality and worker identity that have occurred in the Australian professional managerial class workforce under post‐Fordism. Drawing on fieldwork undertaken at the interface of the pubic service and private consultancy firms in Canberra, I break from dominant readings of intimacy in post‐Fordism which preference either a downwards imposition of “ways of being” from…
