Anthropology in Israel: An Overview of the Discipline at the Crossroads of Identity, Conflict, and Academic Evolution
En Israël, l'anthropologie évolue dans un contexte marqué par les tensions politiques et les fractures identitaires. Depuis les attentats du 7 octobre 2023 et la guerre à Gaza, la discipline est mise à l'épreuve, comme le montre la déclaration tardive et controversée de l'Israeli Anthropological Association, révélatrice de ses divisions internes. Historiquement dominée par des chercheurs ashkénazes, elle s'ouvre progressivement aux voix mizrahi e…
Preface: The “Other” Border and the Present Moment
This thematic issue of RIAS explores the evolving dynamics of US-Canada relations amidst the backdrop of Donald Trump’s second presidential term and Justin Trudeau’s resignation as Canadian Prime Minister. The issue gains heightened relevance due to Trump’s provocative rhetoric, including threats of economic tariffs, discussions of annexation, and broader expansionist ambitions. The US-Canada border has historically been viewed as stable compared…

Neoliberalism, universities, and anthropology around the world: Introduction
IntroductionThe idea for this dossier began with a conversation over one of those long breakfasts given at conferences. It was 2014 and the blows of the 2008 economic crisis were still being felt strongly. There was growing concern in the academic field over the advancement of neoliberalism and its effects, especially given its part in the 2008 crisis and the ensuing proliferation of “austerity politics,” which included a range of policies that w…

Hégémonie
La notion d’hégémonie regroupe l’analyse des différences de pouvoir que possède un groupe (État, société, régime, pays, confédération) sur un autre en s’appuyant sur une prédominance ou un contrôle dans les champs politique, économique, militaire, social, culturel ou géopolitique. La conception de l’hégémonie par Gramsci, qui s’appuie non pas seulement sur les pouvoirs militaires ou physiques, mais également sur des idées et des valeurs, sera lar…

Synchronic and diachronic variation in the definition and composition of the Creole population presents theoretical problems. Neither a strictly empirical historical analysis of social groups nor a strictly paradigmatic analysis of social categories renders a satisfactory explanation of semantic and empirical variation. Suggested in this paper as a more adequate alternative is a syntagmatic analysis of social classification that is at once struct…

Special Section on Nativism, Nationalism, and Xenophobia: What Anthropologists Do and Have Done
The World Anthropologies section in this issue consists of essays written fairly quickly by anthropologists in various places in the world who responded to our request in early December 2016 for short- to medium-length essays due January 20. We thought the topic was clear, but it was apparently too broad for some and too daunting for others. We were, therefore, delighted with the number and range of essays we received and include here.

Comfort Zones and Their Dangers: Who Are We?Qui Sommes-Nous
This Presidential Address examines contemporary U.S. anthropological rhetoric regarding the profession of anthropology and related habits of professional self-understanding that warrant a second look. It is most concerned with aspects of our widespread self-understanding that often function (esp. in conversation and in writing) to assert and reassert a truth we tell ourselves about ourselves, even in the absence of sustained research. Arguing for…

When the enemy is unclear: US censuses and photographs of Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines from the beginning of the 20th century
In this close reading of US census documents and photographic representations of Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines between 1899 and 1905, I complicate our current notions of colonial representations as exoticizing and primitivizing documents in the service of the colonizer. Focusing particularly on the surprising inclusion of photographs of the local census enumerators along with the extensive amount of numerical data about age, occupation, …

Anthropologists and Museums: An Interview with Joseph Weiss
Mutuality, responsibility, and reciprocity in situations of marked inequality
Paradoxes shape the relationship of the US anthropological community to its counterparts elsewhere and require new thinking about leadership that focuses on mutuality, responsibility, reciprocity, and pragmatism. Explored here are some key contradictions I see in ways of looking at the current, past, or plausible role of the US anthropological community and, in particular, the American Anthropological Association and its nearly forty Sections.

The Promise and The Lost City of Z: Diasporas, Cinematic Imperialism and Commercial Films
Through a mutual interview exchange, the authors reflect on two recent commercial films - The Promise and The Lost City of Z. The films deal with the Armenian genocide and British exploration of the Amazon, respectively, both chronicling events that took place in the early twentieth century. The authors' inquiries address questions of diasporic imperialism through film, Othering, violence, and the US movie industry. While differing in their readi…

An examination of the limits to the cultural awareness of immigrant therapists raises questions about the context and boundaries of “professional” knowledge. The paper examines alternative models of the therapeutic encounter available to therapists and the influence of personal background and experience on the therapists' actual views of that encounter. Concentrating on verbal expressions as reflections of the therapists' conceptualizations of th…
