The Musha Incident
No One at School Can Speak Pangcah
Olic is one of the only members of her generation to be raised speaking Pangcah (Amis) as her first language. Through an exploration of how one family is fighting to save this endangered Austronesian language, we analyse the challenges facing Indigenous language revitalisation in Taiwan. Particular attention is paid to the child’s transition from the home to formal—Mandarin-medium—schooling. In doing so, we draw on recent work that emphasises the…
Anthropologists Answer Four Questions about the Pandemic
I count myself lucky to be have spent 2020 in Taiwan, where I have lived and worked for the past fifteen years. Taiwan has roughly the same population as Florida, but only had 834 COVID-19 cases and seven deaths in 2020 compared to Florida's over 1.5 million cases and 23,226 deaths (The New York Times 2021). As of this writing, Florida is still reporting nearly sixteen thousand cases a day, whereas the big news in Taiwan is that a doctor working …

Entering the Mountains to Rule the Aborigines
Just as Native American education policy in post-Civil War United States was shaped by the thirst for land during a period of rapid westward expansion, so too was Aborigine education policy in Taiwan shaped by the forces which drew first the Qing, and later the Japanese into the rugged terrain of the high Central Mountain Range and the remote plains of the East Coast. Education policy was central to U.S. territorial expansion because "the willing…
Collaboration against ethnography
What happens when a commitment to collaborative ethnographic filmmaking runs up against a community's ambivalence toward its own history? This work provides an ethnohistorical account of the making of the film Please Don't Beat Me, Sir!, exploring how colonial-era "police ethnographies" and contemporary communal politics shape the collaborative endeavor. The film was made in collaboration with Budhan Theatre, an activist theater troupe from the C…
The Rising Wave by Shweta Kishore and Yask Desai
From Thugs to Victims
The documentary films of the Indian filmmaker Dakxin Bajrange Chhara focus not on his own community but on marginalized nomadic communities within his home state of Gujarat. In order to understand these films I draw on Partha Chatterjee's theory of "political society" to argue that Bajrange's portrayal of the social injustices suffered by these other Indian communities serves also to challenge the historical stigma that his own community feels as…
Ethical Hegemony
Drawing upon Peter Ives's book Gramsci's Politics of Language, this article examines the linguistic origins of Antonio Gramsci's theory of hegemony. This is then compared with Pierre Bourdieu's theory of the habitus, with a particular focus on how the two theories conceptualize social change. Ives shows that Gramsci understood language standardization as either democratic or repressive, depending on the nature of the standardization process. Ives…
