No Feierabend after Fieldwork?
In this essay, the authors reflect on the (im)possibility of "Feierabend" and leisure time in their early fieldwork experiences as postdocs in the 1990s. What prevented them from "withdrawing" from fieldwork, they argue, was related to their positionalities as "other" or "different" in their specific fieldwork sites in rural Mexico and India, respectively. While Eveline Dürr dealt with the sensation of standing out and being observed while conduc…

Conversion versus Unity
Badaga Godroads Samuel Mulley grew up in the small village of Kairben, and in 1858 he became the first Badaga convert to Christianity in the Eastern Nilgiri Hills of south India. Philipp Mulley is his great-grandson and a retired pastor of the Church of South India.

Stimmungslagen und mobile Akteure. Ein Konflikt in einer südindischen Kleinstadt 2008 bis 2012
Die Tageszeitung “The Hindu“ titelte am 21. 8. 2009 ihre Reportage über einen Boykott von Schulen, Geschäften und staatlichen Einrichtungen in der südindischen Kleinstadt Kotagiri mit “Property dispute snowballs into tension“. Die folgende Ethnographie soll den Konfliktverlauf vor und nach diesem Datum zusammenfassen. Dabei geht es auch um die Frage, wie eine allgemeine Konfliktstimmung zu einem Quasi-Objekt wurde, das sich schnell und nachhaltig…
Objectification and Social Aesthetics
On 15 May 1989, the Badaga, the dominant peasant community in the Nilgiri Hills, organized a huge rally and handed over a memorandum to the government. On the basis of their culture they demanded tribal status, a guaranteed price for their agricultural products, and other privileges. I shall argue that the medium of a memorandum with its textual and material form requires and fosters the process of cultural objectification. Culture is turned into…
