Postscript 2
The ontological turn meets the certainty of death
The 'ontological turn' involves some anthropological points of long standing but the approaches recently coordinated into this turn have been presented as a 'call to arms', as shaking up 'mono-realist singularities' and as inherently political. This fighting talk has no doubt made important contributions to anthropology and insights from the ontological turn can help in anthropological understandings of medical practices. However, this paper cont…

History and Ethnicity
Putting Culture in Its Place
The European Union has been constructed through common ontologies of a world composed and divided on spatial scales. This paper elaborates on this point and examines anthropologically some of the key notions that have been called on to construct the EU, notably that of ‘culture’. It is suggested that we might profitably take ‘culture’ out of our own analytical tool-kits and treat it instead as an interesting but problematic invention. Drawing on …

Neo-nationalism in Europe and beyond
By the early twenty-first century neo-nationalist forces have established themselves in a number of the world's large regions and subcontinents. From Australia to South Asia, in Eastern and Western Europe, comparable parties and movements have positioned themselves in national parliaments and governments, with some considerable impact on state power. In contrast to right-wing extremist parties in the past, these recent movements mostly operate wi…

Constructive Drinking
First published in 1987, Constructive Drinking is a series of original case studies organized into three sections based on three major functions of drinking. The three constructive functions are: that drinking has a real social role in everyday life; that drinking can be used to construct an ideal world; and that drinking is a significant economic activity. The case studies deal with a variety of exotic drinks

Polyethnicity and National Unity in World History
Celtic Ethnic Kinship and the Problem of Being English [and Comments and Replies]
Breton, Welsh, Cornish, Manx, and Irish and Scottish Gaelic are all "Celtic" languages. The definition of certain languages as "Celtic" is widely taken to imply a distinct category of people, the Celts, who have ties of language, culture, and flesh and blood, and who share a common external subjection which has largely destroyed their culture and their language and the people themselves. This paper attempts a structural, ethnographic account of t…
