The Signification of Forbidden Hope: “Not Yet” in the Polish National Anthem
The Polish national anthem, titled “Mazurek Dąbrowskiego”, was composed at a time when Poland was not an independent European state. Józef Wybicki composed the text in Italy in July 1797 on the occasion of General Jan Henryk Dąbrowski’s departure with Polish legions to fight under Napoleon Bonaparte. The legions hoped to secure independence from Poland’s third partition under Russian Empire, the Kingdom of Prussia, and the Habsburg Monarchy of Au…
Between Fundamentalists and Funnymonkeyists: Clarence Edward Macartney’s Rhetoric of Moderate Orthodoxy
“Shall the Fundamentalists Win?” was the title of a 1922 sermon by Harry Emerson Fosdick, announcing a question that fueled public dispute in the fundamentalist–modernist controversy in 1920s America. The question persists today, but this article turns to the metaphors of apocalyptic rhetoric and routine cynicism to suggest a deeper question energizing fundamentalist and antifundamentalist rhetoric: What does the future of faith look like in an e…
Digital Textbooks and Communication Ethics Literacy: Listening to the Unforeseen
The textbook publishing industry is undergoing what Wired magazine calls a “radical transformation,” and public speaking texts have been no strangers to the technological forces at play. Today, major publishing houses advertise “digital first” and “evergreen” models, offering something closer to a digital public speaking resource bank than a textbook traditionally understood. Literature about the basic communication/public speaking course has dis…
The Phenomenology of the Pipe Organ
An extended illustration from Merleau-Ponty’s Phenomenology of Perception describes the interplay of habit, sedimentation, and intersubjectivity in the practice and performance of a skilled organist. This paper takes up Merleau-Ponty’s example in order to describe some of the phenomenological characteristics of embodied musical performance. These characteristics point toward an intersubjective event of “consecration,” as Merleau-Ponty describes i…
Ēthos, Topoi, and the Limits of Public Moral Argument
The Exclusive Economic Zone, Territory, and Territorial Jurisdiction in the Rome Statute
This article responds to the position adopted by the icc ’s Office of the Prosecutor in 2020, that criminal conduct which takes place in the Exclusive Economic Zone ( eez , Zone) is in principle outside the territory of coastal states, and is not encompassed under Article 12(2)(a) of the Rome Statute. Having considered the genesis and function of the Zone, and reviewed the law of the sea jurisprudence, the article identifies a tension between the…
San Jerónimo: A Peasant Community?
San Jeronimo was in all apparent respects a prototypical Mesoamerican peasant community. The base of the diet—of biological reproduction—in San Jeronimo is corn and beans. One of the first research tasks undertook was to assess local agricultural production to better understand the relationship between peasant farming and cash income in the overall economy of the town. Two of the primary components of the definition of peasants are that they enga…
From Modes of Production to Consumption of Modes: Class, Value, Power, and Resistance
This chapter explores emergent possibilities for a synthesis and transcendence of the opposition between perspectives that favor the production of economic value over consumption of culture in the shaping of identity and does so through a theory of general value, power, and class. The platform for the analysis of such subjects was provided by articulation theory, which points the way to the transcendence of its residual dualism, a transcendence m…
Differentiation and Identity
This chapter examines the kinds of subjects that inhabit such nontraditional, nondeveloped spaces and in doing so returns to the main issue in peasant studies—namely, social differentiation of the peasantry. It argues that the strategic point at which to reconceptualize modern social thought is the sites where images of its self are culturally constructed so as to become socially constituted. It is that the deep structuring of social identities i…
Kinds of Others in the History of Anthropology
This chapter discusses four periods in the history of anthropology: formative, classical, modern, and global. Each period has been shaped by major changes in the world political economy. The chapter sketches the first three of these periods and describes how each conditioned its corresponding anthropology to construct a distinctive type of other. Whereas in the first two periods anthropology gave place of privilege to the primitive, in the third …
Beyond Peasant Studies: Changing Social Fields of Identity and Theory
Peasants and the Antinomies of the Modern Nation-State
Modern images of the peasant have historically been constructed as part of the architecture of the nation-states with which they have been identified. Modernist ideas and projects provoked romantic intellectual and political reactions, but until the basic theme concerning nations with large peasantries has been national development, a process seen as synonymous with the elimination of the peasantries of these &s;developing&s; nations. The chapter…
Romantic Reactions to Modernist Peasant Studies
This chapter examines changing historical-structural conditions that no longer support the peasant concept. The modernist construction of the peasantry in both its bourgeois and Leninist versions began to come into crisis in the 1960s and 1970s. This crisis was provoked by the end of developmentalism, which conditioned the elaboration of renewed romantic sensibilities among peasantists who are so disposed. The chapter explores how the conceptual …
'Peasants' and the New Politics of Representation
This chapter explores the interplay between the two senses of representation. A distinctive feature of both human rights and ecopolitics is that both are transnational in nature and as such are dynamically related to the transnationalism of ethnicity, which is also emerging as a dimension of identity in contrast to the diminishing power of the nation-state to inform and manipulate &s;peasant&s; identities. Social class is an abstract concept that…
Reconceptualizing the Peasantry: Anthropology in Global Perspective
The concept of ?peasant? has been constructed from residual images of pre-industrial European and colonial rural society. Spurred by Romantic sensibilities and modern nationalist imaginations, the images the word peasant brings to mind are anachronisms that do not reflect the ways in which rural people live today. In this path-breaking book, Michael Kearney shows how the concept has been outdistanced by contemporary history. He situates the peasa…
Latin America’s Indigenous Peoples: Changing Identities and Forms of Resistance
Any attempt to make meaningful and valid generalizations about the contemporary indigenous peoples of the Americas is a daunting task given their vast geographical extension and wide variation in social forms and living conditions. The durability of the indigenas called for a different theoretical perspective. The working notion of this theory is that social identity is formed largely in opposition to others in a dialectic of what are called "oth…

OP56 Differential Effects of Smoking Cessation During Pregnancy on Birth Weight in a Cohort of Disadvantaged Women
Background Smoking during pregnancy is recognized as the most important preventable risk factor. Maternal smoking accounts for 20–30% of low birth weight infants (<2,500g), the most common adverse outcome in pregnancy. The objective of this study was to explore the effects of maternal smoking habits: stopping smoking in the first and second trimesters, continuing to smoke, number of cigarettes smoked and socio-demographic factors on infant birth …
The Prohibition of Propaganda for War in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights
The prohibition of propaganda for war as set forth in Article 20(1) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights represents a key provision of international law, albeit one which has been grossly neglected, both by States parties and legal commentators, since its adoption by the General Assembly in 1966. The object of this article is to direct attention towards a provision which has the potential to play a major role in the prevent…
The Classifying and Value-Filtering Missions of Borders
Using examples of migration of Mixtecs from Oaxaca and of Mexican nationals in general across the US-Mexican border, this article explores and illustrates the proposition that the political importance of social borders varies directly with the degree to which they serve two basic missions. The first of these missions is classificatory in the sense of defining, categorizing, and otherwise affecting the identities that are circumscribed and divided…

Transnational Oaxacan indigenous identity: The Case of Mixtecs and Zapotecs
This paper examines cultural and political dynamics that result when migrants from indigenous communities in Oaxaca, Mexico, migrate to the United States. Forced from their homeland because of economic conditions and prevented from complete settlement and incorporation in the United States due to their "illegal" status and economic and social barriers, the migrants create and live within a third sociocultural and political space popularly referre…
Transnationalism in California and Mexico at the end of empire
Do not ask who I am and do not ask me to remain the same: leave it to our bureaucrats and our police to see that our papers are in order. At least spare us their morality when we write.(Foucault 1972: 17)

Borders and Boundaries of State and Self at the End of Empire
Peoples that span national borders are ambiguous in that they in some ways partake of both nations and in other ways partake of neither. This paper analyzes how the boundary - the power to impose difference - of the United States and Mexico is being eroded by transnational developments causing the structure of the nation-states to become problematic. To the degree that anthropology is an official discipline predicated on the distinction between S…

Voices for the Voiceless: Testimonial Literature in Latin America
All forms of political domination depend on human construction of social and cultural differences among persons and peoples, for without differences there would be no basis for distinguishing those who wield power from those who are to it. The most potent political ideas about difference are those that are naturalized such that they seem to be created not by humans themselves but by nature. Such ideas are ideologically powerful because they asser…
