A Nineteenth-Century Hungarian Denominational Conflict: The Controversy over “Re-Baptisms”
For historical reasons, the Kingdom of Hungary was one of the most confessionally diverse states in Europe. The rapid spread of the Reformation, the exceptional religious pluralism of the Principality of Transylvania, and the Habsburg-era repopulation of territories reconquered from the Ottoman Empire produced a durable multi-confessional society in which different denominations often lived side by side within the same communities. Against this b…
The Political Activities of a Catholic Church Leader During the Period of Secularization in Hungary
In the Kingdom of Hungary, the process of secularization started rather late. After 1867, the country was led by liberal political forces but, despite this, the separation of church and state continued for a long time. Some ecclesiastical dignitaries were members of the upper house by virtue of their position, which obviously slowed down the process of secularization. By the 1890s, there were still many legal institutions in which public power wa…
Transcultural Japan: At the Borderlands of Race, Gender and Identity
This compilation of essays on contemporary Japan re-examines race, gender and identity, consciously choosing to shift the prism of analysis that contends Japan is multicultural or multiethnic to one that stresses the transcultural nature of Japanese society, and in particular its interconnectedness with the world. The rationale for this deliberate shift is centered on the argument that our current conception of Japan needs to be reconsidered, due…
The Search for Miss Philippines Bahrain-Possibilities for Representation in Expatriate Communities
Based on participant observation within the organizing committee of a beauty pageant produced by the Filipino Club in Bahrain, this paper explores group interactions within Bahrain's multinational population. More specifically, the paper asks whether semi-public events staged by expatriate community organizations serve as nodes of interaction across boundaries of nationality. The first half of the paper describes the transnational context and exp…
Introduction: New Ethnographic Fieldwork among Migrants, Residents and Citizens in the Arab States of the Gulf
Making Room for Migrants, Making Sense of Difference: Spatial and Ideological Expressions of Social Diversity in Urban Qatar
Much has been written describing the pervasive and rapid urbanisation of the Arabian Gulf in the late 20th century. Less attention has been paid to the accompanying growth and diversification of the region's population and residents' experience of the new urbanised spaces. Based on ethnographic research in urban Qatar between 1994 and 2000, this paper describes and compares two distinct principles of social differentiation that characterise Qatar…
Dressing Up Downtown: Urban development and government public image in Qatar
A COMPARISON OF TWO PROJECTS undertaken in Doha, the capital of Qatar, provides an example of how ideas and technologies recommended by foreign consultants are brought into existing local social and political contests and are sometimes transformed in the process. Rather than view urbanization as the handiwork of foreign planners and technicians, the essay argues that the actions leading to the selection and implementation of particular "foreign p…
This Time I Think I'll Try a Filipina: Global and Local Influences on Relations Between Foreign Household Workers and Their Employers in Doha, Qatar
AN EXAMINATION OF the practice of employing foreign household workers reveals how global and local relations shape social life in Doha, the capital of Qatar. The paper addresses the factors influencing changing patterns of labor recruitment, and then focuses on the reproduction of local social relations through the everyday practices of household labor. Both global and local inequalities are imprinted onto everyday practice through the asymmetric…
Social diversity and changes in the form and appearance of the Qatari house
This article examines the relationship between house form and appearance and social diversity. The metamorphosis of two features of the Qatari house which operate as loci of communication between occupants and non‐occupants, the majlis (guest reception area) and the exterior ornamentation, is described within the context of increasing social diversity between the 1960s and the 1990s. The manner in which each of these features conveys information …
