Epistemic doubt and affective certainty: Counting homotransphobia in Brazil
Backlash
Feminist anthropology offers conceptual and methodological clarity to the study of backlash, a phenomenon made salient once more by the global conservative turn of the 2010s. As contemporary crises of social reproduction have, once again, focused majoritarian angst and anger on women, queer people, immigrants, and people of color, scholars have returned (again) to discuss backlash. Critically, feminist anthropology can move past media narratives …
Special Issue Introduction: Experimental Urbanity in São Paulo
Special Issue IntroductionExperimental Urbanity in São Paulo Daniel Gough, Aiala Levy, and Joseph Jay Sosa Cities have become “good to think with,” perhaps almost too good to think with. Neil Brenner and Christian Schmid note that academic and other public actors use “the urban” as a diagnostic for contemporary life as well as a means to intervene upon it.

Gays Have Taken the Paulista: Queer Protest and Placemaking in São Paulo
Focusing on queer protest cultures in downtown São Paulo, this article investigates how urban spaces function as a “national stage” for the public dramas of political crises that took place between 2010 and 2018.

The key to these…

Demanding access to public transportation and luxury shopping, protestors use sites of exclusion as a dramatic element esse…
Subversive, Mother, Killjoy: Sexism against Dilma Rousseff and the Social Imaginary of Brazil’s Rightward Turn
From resistance fighter against Brazil’s military dictatorship to its first female president, Dilma Rousseff’s biography follows the historic arc of democratization in Brazil. Her 2016 impeachment was also the culminating event of numerous crises that polarized Brazilian society. To supporters, Rousseff’s removal without evidence constitutes an abrogation of democracy. To critics, Rousseff had to answer for an economic recession and widespread co…
