Governing through emotion
This paper examines how emotion functioned as a constitutive force in India’s COVID-19 governance, reshaping administrative practices and legitimizing discriminatory treatment of Muslims. Drawing on Affective Intelligence Theory (AIT) and affect theory, it argues that emotions such as fear, disgust, and suspicion functioned as instruments of governance that displaced scientific reasoning and procedural rationality. The study introduces the concep…

Trained eyes, coded faces
This article traces the divergent approaches to the scientific analysis of facial and bodily movement from the 1950s to the 1970s. Drawing on the writings and exchanges of anthropologists Margaret Mead and Ray Birdwhistell, as well as psychologists Paul Ekman and Silvan Tomkins, it shows how their intellectual divide was sustained through different uses of visual technologies and coding practices. Cultural anthropologists working in dialogue with…
Close Yet Distinct
Outbound travelers from the so‐called Big Four European countries—France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom—are essential target markets in the global travel industry, consistently ranking within the top 10 for tourist volume. Despite their geographical proximity, these nations have cultivated distinct cultures, values, and customs, resulting in unique consumer characteristics for each country. However, comparative studies of these travelers…
Exploring the Impact of Government Trust on Tourism Development Support
This study proposed an integrated model grounded in social capital theory and stakeholder theory, explaining the impact of government trust on the decision‐making process of tourism development. A survey was conducted among residents who participated in rural development education programs to validate this model. The findings indicated that government trust influenced attitude and satisfaction but did not directly impact support for tourism devel…

The hospitality industry is vulnerable to various forms of customer incivility, leading frontline employees to perform emotional labor. This study, grounded in the Job Demands–Resources (JD‐R) model and the Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, aims to elucidate the mechanisms through which emotional labor leads to emotional exhaustion and ultimately increases turnover intention among casino dealers. Health promotion behaviors are examined as a…

Organizational Justice as Anticolonial Intervention
Organizational justice scholarship has made significant contributions to advancing our knowledge of subjective perceptions of justice and their influences on work‐related outcomes. However, the extant scholarship has failed to challenge unjust organizational structures, cultures, and practices by taking dominant ideologies for granted. In this review, we problematize the organizational justice scholarship to reveal (a) how its conceptualization, …

Enacting compassion in mHealth
This study examines communicative enactments of compassion in mHealth-based coaching in the context of a prolonged pandemic. We conducted individual interviews with mHealth intervention participants in high and low resilience groups to investigate (a) the emerging patterns of compassionate coaching in mHealth and (b) the differences in coaching practices between the two groups. Our findings reveal how communication constitutes compassion by illus…
Paul Ekman and the search for the isolated face in the 1960s
This essay examines the detailed process of isolating facial data from the context of its emergence through the early work of psychologist Paul Ekman in the 1960s. It explores how Ekman's data practices have been developed, criticized, and compromised by situating them within the political and intellectual landscape of his early career. This essay follows Ekman's journey from the Langley Porter Neuropsychiatric Institute to New Guinea, highlighti…

Modelling the impact of rapid diagnostic tests on Plasmodium vivax malaria in South Korea
Background Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are widely used for diagnosing Plasmodium vivax malaria, especially in resource-limited countries. However, the impact of RDTs on P. vivax malaria incidence and national medical costs has not been evaluated. We assessed the impact of RDT implementation on P. vivax malaria incidence and overall medical expenditures in South Korea and performed a cost–benefit analysis from the payer’s perspective. Methods We…

The role of digitally-enabled employee voice in fostering positive change and affective commitment in centralized organizations
This study investigated the extent to which organizational structure and communication climate influence employee voice and concomitant outcomes. Given the prevalent use of digital technologies, we examined two discrete types of employee voice: identifiable, in-person voice vs. anonymous, digitally-enabled voice. Findings demonstrated that (a) organizational centralization was negatively linked to freedom of speech; (b) freedom of speech increase…
The Struggle for Equality
The United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government (2004–14) led by the Congress came to power with a radical agenda for religious minorities. This included legislation and policies against discrimination and disadvantages suffered by religious minorities, especially Muslims, and a new framework for delivering substantive equality of opportunity. This work offers a new interpretation of the UPA's record. In critically re-evaluating the UPA's perfor…
The limits of India’s ethno-linguistic federation
From 1984 until 1993, the Indian state of Punjab witnessed a sustained insurgency by Sikh militants campaigning for a separate sovereign state. This insurgency was ultimately defeated by the overwhelming use of security force that officially resulted in the deaths of 30,000 people. By the mid-1990s, a ‘normalcy’ had returned to Punjab politics, but the underlying issues which had fuelled the demand for separatism remain unaddressed. This paper ex…
Understanding Modi and minorities
In the May 2014 general elections in India, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) emerged as the majority party. The BJP has formed a coalition with regional parties (the National Democratic Alliance), but many view the event as a “critical election,” presaging the realignment of Indian politics along Hindu nationalist values. This article reviews the approaches used to understand the BJP-led NDA government’s policies toward religious minorities and a…
Working through paradoxes
This study examines the ways in which transnational city newcomers interact with locative technology to build knowledge about their urban surroundings. We conducted semistructured interviews with 25 transnational migrants recently relocated to the greater New York City area, investigating their day-to-day smartphone use, navigation tactics, and uses of location-based services. Our analysis reflects on three themes: tensions surrounding different …

Being There and Being Here Gendered Customising of Mobile 3G Practices Through a Case Study in Seoul
Convergence has become part of burgeoning mobile media. Whether we like it or not the mobile phone has become a vehicle for multimedia par excellence. Epitomising contemporary convergence by way of its smorgasbord of applications and multimedia possibilities, it seems almost impossible to get such a device just for voice calling without all the `extras'. But is mobile media a new emerging art form? Is it new media? Or is it a domestic technology?…
