Introduction. Dislocating labour: Anthropological reconfigurations
In the introduction to this volume on ‘dislocating labour’ we seek to lay the ground for an anthropology of labour that extends beyond the industrial heartlands from which the concept emerged. Remaining aware of the analytical purchase of the focus on the labour/capital relation, we argue that the ethnographic exploration of this relation allows us to extend the reach of the labour concept. It also allows us to explore the diverse ways in which l…
State against industry: Time and labour among Dominican furniture makers
This essay analyses time and labour among small Dominican furniture producers. The Dominican Republic's small workshops and firms experience much waiting - not speed and political-economic integration, but, instead, slowness, blockades, and marginalization. The national production of furniture has faced increasingly tough competition from imported commodities. In the early 1990s, the national finances were in crisis. Pressured by its internationa…

The late 1960s and early 1970s were stormy times in Colombia. Irregular armed groups that had emerged during the ten-year period from 1946 to 1956 known in the country as La Violencia, or the ‘Violence’, were still not completely suppressed, and new Marxist guerrilla groups were formed. Peasants organized …

A tomb for Columbus in Santo Domingo. Political cosmology, population and racial frontiers
A state formation in the national order of things seems unthinkable without the state's everyday and ritual attempts to fashion ideas about what makes its people a people. This paper argues that we should examine makings of national populations in terms of historical constructions of cosmologies. The author analyses how one modern state, the Dominican Republic, produced particular ideas about ‘the Dominican people’. Dominican elites and the Domin…
The Anthropology and Ethnography of Political Violence
Two recent books have shown the fruitfulness of approaching the analysis of political violence and terror based on a set of general anthropological ideas about meaning formation, cosmology and ritual. One of these works in particular reveals links between what may be described as the cultural construction of political violence in modern industrialized contexts and the shaping of particular spatial and bodily symbolism among social actors. The oth…
The construction of Dominican state power and symbolisms of violence
Maurice Bloch has argued that, under certain circumstances, aspects of a particular cosmology can become an idiom for expressing and justifying the necessity of using bodily violence in relationships of domination and subordination. This article seeks to develop this key idea with the aid of historically and ethnographically specific material from the Dominican Republic. The author attempts to show that both hegemonic Dominican nationalist imager…
