  • Imagined Masculinity

    Open AccessL Sion, E Ben-Ari et al.ARTICLESymbolic Interaction2009Citada por: 6Referências: 32

    This article explores how middle-class Jewish men on reserve duty in the Israel Defense Forces form a 'proper' masculinity through humor and jokes. Reserve service creates a fruitful territory for researching four issues that have not been extensively studied in the literature on masculinities: the relation between gender and age, the periodic reaffirmation of masculinity along the life course, how women are perceived as sexual objects and how in…

  • The military and militarization in the United States

    Open AccessE Ben-Ari, Eyal Ben‐ariARTICLEAmerican Ethnologist2004Citada por: 10Referências: 45

    I examine three ethnographies of the U.S. military and of militarization in the contemporary United States. These phenomena have hitherto received little scholarly attention by anthropologists. After describing the contents of the three volumes, I suggest that their wider import for anthropology lies in their demonstration of the usefulness of the discipline's theories and analytical tools for analyzing the political economy of militarization and…

  • The celebration of violence

    Open AccessE Ben-Ari, Eyal Ben‐ari et al.ARTICLEAmerican Ethnologist2003Citada por: 13Referências: 39

    In this article we analyze an annual live-fire exercise held by Japan's Self-Defense Forces for the general public. On the basis of our analysis, we suggest that anthropologists seriously examine the military establishments of technologically advanced societies. If anthropologists want to understand violent acts, we need to study the perpetrators of such acts and not only their victims. In most of the scholarly literature, violence is seen as ano…

  • Blue Helmets and White Armor multi-nationalism and multi-culturalism among UN peacekeeping forces

    Open AccessE Ben-Ari, Eyal Ben‐ari et al.ARTICLECity & Society2001Citada por: 20Referências: 15

    Multi-national peace-keeping forces as organizations are characterized by an inherent tension between national and transnational belonging. Derived from a wider ethnography of peacekeeping, this article focuses on these military missions as transnational sites and explores the implications of this tension between national belonging and allegiance and membership and operations within an international framework.The data is derived from interviews a…

    Open AccessYoram Bilu, E Ben-Ari et al.ARTICLEAmerican Ethnologist1992Citada por: 17Referências: 21

    In this article we analyze the sanctification of two figures in contemporary Israel. The two figures-Baba Sali and his son Baba Baruch-belong to the Abu-Hatseira family, which many Jews of North African origin perceive to possess lineage or clan charisma. We use the analytical metaphor of "manufactured" charisma in order to explore the ways in which such present-day means as the media (written and broadcast), industry, and various state structure…

  • Uniqueness, typicality, and appraisal

    E Ben-Ari, Eyal Ben‐ariARTICLEEthnos1992Citada por: 6Referências: 13

    This article examines the discourse attendant upon 'old' places in contemporary Japan through a case study of a commuter village near Kyoto. It shows how such localities are represented in a national debate about the strength of Japan's 'vanishing' tradition, and how local communities mobilize parts of this debate in their dialogue with a variety of collective others about local identity. The guiding axii of this nostalgic discourse are assertion…

  • Pygmies and Villagers, Ritual or Play? On the Place of Contrasting Modes of Metacommunication in Social Systems

    Open AccessE Ben-Ari, Eyal Ben‐ariARTICLESymbolic Interaction1987Citada por: 1Referências: 22

    How are social activities and relations maintained despite actors holding to divergent definitions of these activities and relations? This is explored through a reexamination of an ethnographic account of two groups that participate in joint activities but interpret them differently. The account is that of the Mbuti Pygmies and their neighboring Bantu villagers as described by Colin Turnbull. It is argued is that the maintenance of continued inte…
