Regulating without controlling
This ethnography examines how adults in an Atlanta community approached the challenges involved in children's food socialisation and emotional socialisation at large. In both realms, self‐management was the ultimate goal. For parents, striking a balance between conscientious attentiveness and offensively controlling behaviours was key. Ultimately, the realm of children's food revealed emotional tensions inherent in middle‐class models of selfhood…
Of course we’ll like it, we’re kids!”
The notion that children naturally gravitate towards sugary, starchy, packaged foods – and that carefully regulating their consumption is integral to good parenting – seems common sense to many in the USA and beyond. Yet such facts are not universal, but part of how childhood is being constructed in a particular moment. Drawing on in-depth ethnographic research in Atlanta among adults and children, this article examines how visions of childhood w…
Awkward sincerity and critical empathy
When feminist anthropologists engage "Others" close to home - those who might actively criticize feminism or whose political orientations are uncomfortably both familiar and strange - fieldwork encounters engender discomfiting methodological and representational challenges. Here, I explore those challenges through an examination of my own fieldwork among U.S. men participating in the "international marriage brokering" industry, specifically those…

Kinship and Crisis
The rise of the international matchmaking industry has been particularly rapid and noticeable in the former Soviet Union, where the end of the Cold War has intersected with daily socioeconomic pressures to make cross-cultural romance and marriage newly possible and newly desirable for some women of Russia, Ukraine, and other post-Soviet states. Less acknowledged than the role of economics in women's decision making, however, is the fact that post…
For Love, Money, or Normalcy
Public debates about international matchmaking highlight the victimization of impoverished women by western men or the self-interested instrumentalism of women who marry for visas. Meanwhile, agencies and many of their clients portray this as a linking of well-intentioned lonely hearts who just want normal family lives. A meaningful anthropological account must incorporate and move beyond both types of narratives, acknowledging that deeply felt s…
Spinning the Market
■ Ethnographies of postsocialist Europe and Eurasia have observed the moral resistance of post-communist communities in the face of an impinging capitalism, highlighting the continuity of such sentiment with both pre-communist and 20th-century ideologies of social justice. This article suggests that, valuable as these accounts have been, together they can leave the false impression that post-Soviet change is a confrontation between two separate, …

To be happy in a Mercedes
The disintegration of Soviet social contracts has provoked, for many Russians, a continuing deliberation over the tense interrelation between material embodiments of value (wealth and commodities) and moral ones (respectability, education, and kindness). By contrast with previous anthropological tendencies to locate value production primarily within exchange transactions, in this article I identify two historically specific tropes of value ("cult…
Consumers Exiting Socialism
Introduisant ce dossier sur la consommation dans l'Europe postsocialiste (ex-URSS et pays de l'Est), les AA. situent d'abord brievement ces nouvelles ethnographies par rapport aux contributions recentes sur l'anthropologie de la culture materielle et de la consommation. Ils en delimitent ensuite les grandes orientations thematiques et mettent en evidence la specificite historique des pratiques consumeristes postsocialistes. Selon les AA., la cons…
Chocolate and Cognac
This paper examines the culture of gift-giving in contemporary urban Russia, illuminating in the process broader post-socialist deliberations about social identity and personal worth. Drawing upon ethnographic research in St. Petersburg (1998-99), I consider how marketization influences, informs, and overlaps with logics of gift-giving and with the social networking practices so central to Soviet-era consumer strategies. In contrast to most previ…
