History's Impasse: Radical Historiography, Leftist Elites, and the Anthropology of Historicism in Southern France
The 'historic turn' marked a new era of convergence between anthropology and history. However, recent research proposes that this anthro-historical field is informed by a latent cultural 'historicism'. When studying historical consciousness, and deploying history in analysis, theorists argue, we must clarify how historicism-the ideology and practices underpinning 'Western' historical understanding-informs anthropological theory, or risk ethnocent…

Immanent anthropology: A comparative study of 'process' in contemporary France
This paper presents a comparative critique of the 'processual temporalities' which infuse both social-scientific theorizing and selected Western cultural practices. Through study of a public-private partnership which emerged from a biotechnology project devised for producing 'self-cloning' maize for resource-poor farmers, I analyse how processual temporalities were central to re-gearing knowledge practices towards market-orientated solutions. In …
Illuminating Vestige: Amateur Archaeology and the Emergence of Historical Consciousness in Rural France
This article provides a historical ethnography of an abrupt and transient awakening of interest in Roman vestige during the 1970s in rural France, and explores its implications for comparative understanding of historical consciousness in Western Europe. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in Languedoc, and particularly thecommuneof Monadières, it details a vogue for collecting pottery shards scattered in a nearby lagoon that developed among local i…

Disciplinary Anthropology? Amateur Ethnography and the Production of 'Heritage' in Rural France
Amateur' anthropology and ethnography are utopian categories proposed by anthropologists seeking to critique a perceived culture of 'professionalism' within the discipline (Grimshaw & Hart, 1993). Yet they have arguably been practised extensively by local intellectuals oblivious to such debates. In rural Europe, this has often involved 'pastoral' conservation of 'local history', 'traditions' and 'folk customs', in the context of identity politics…
The time of the interval: Historicity, modernity, and epoch in rural France
Submitting this "response" to French modernity to temporal analysis reveals an additional critique in this periodization, one that valorizes enduring social time over processual temporalities, with implications for the temporal frameworks and ideology of anthropologists

Disciplining Memory: Heritage Tourism and the Temporalisation of the Built Environment in Rural France
This article presents an ethnographic case study of the relationship between the development of heritage tourism, and the role of material culture in memory practices in rural Southern France. Drawing on anthropological fieldwork in the village of Monadières, it provides an analysis of how artefacts in the locality's built environment have been renovated and revalued in a climate of historical change. This was the consequence of varied acts of co…
Rethinking time's arrow: Bergson, Deleuze and the anthropology of time
Since the early 1970s, time has come to the fore as a constitutive element of social analysis in the guise of what I term here 'fluid time'. Anthropologists of multiple theoretical persuasions now take for granted that social life exists in 'time', 'flow', or 'flux', and this temporal ontology is commonly accepted as a universal, if habitually unquestioned, attribute of human experience. Similarly, it underpins today's dominant paradigm of 'proce…
Food, time, and heritage tourism in languedoc, France
This paper presents an ethnographic portrait and analysis of the historical development of heritage tourism in a Southern French village. Using the occasion of a failed village fête in the summer of 1997 as a focus, it details the local and regional factors that have influenced the emergence of heritage tourism in the village, and outlines the conflicts that have arisen over it. Such conflicts appear to lie behind the fête's failure, and the pape…
