Learning, Embodiment, and the Critical (Micro)Phenomenology of Embodied Social Justice
This article explores embodied learning among practitioners of embodied social justice. Drawing on interview data with 18 participants, the study distinguishes between ‘embodied memory’ – how past moments persist to shape present attitudes and future possibilities – and ‘the remembering body’ – instances where the body speaks for itself through present tense re-experiencing. Initial ethnographic narratives revealed how participants framed learnin…
Just chronotopes
Drawing on data collected in a global, collaborative ethnography called The Living Justice Project (LJP), this paper investigates how formulations of social justice situate speakers' bodies in relation to one another as well as in relation to dominant interpretations of the past, felt experiences in the present, and visions for the (possible) future. It specifically investigates the ways in which body-centered or somatopic formulations of social …
Embodying intimacy in everyday interaction
Drawing on linguistic and biocultural anthropological perspectives on embodiment, this paper advances a "biolinguistic" approach to ethnographic research on intimacy, attending simultaneously to the co-constitutive interactive, psychophysiological, and phenomenological processes that emerge in everyday embodied interaction between long-term, cohabitating romantic partners. Through concurrent attention to natural interactions captured during video…
What's going on with my China
This article examines how the death of Li Wenliang, in February 2020, served as an affordance for Chinese netizens to engage with their intimate sense of themselves as political subjects through the interrogative process of scalar inquiry. Li, an ophthalmologist at Wuhan Central Hospital who was sanctioned by Chinese authorities in 2019 for warning friends about the virus, was also an eminently normative and successful Han Chinese citizen who man…
This is China’s Wailing Wall
Dr. Li Wenliang, an ophthalmologist at Wuhan Central Hospital, was accused of spreading rumors when he sent a WeChat message containing the diagnostic report of a suspicious pneumonia case to a group of friends. When he later died from COVID-19, his Weibo page quickly become known as “China’s Wailing Wall,” where hundreds of thousands of netizen shared replies to his final post in a mega-thread that continues into the present. Drawing upon a sele…
Culture inside
This article focuses on what we define asscalar intimacyin the stories people tell about their embodied experience as sociohistorical beings. Our analysis, based on ethnographic studies in Northern Italy (Perrino) and Beijing, China (Pritzker), examines the ways in which speech participants draw upon various discursive strategies to 'zoom in' and 'pan out' of both time and space, placing themselves and their activities in relation to various peop…
Language, Emotion, and the Politics of Vulnerability
Previous research on language and emotion in anthropology has demonstrated that rather than being a private, subjective, and prediscursive experience belonging to individuals, emotion is an intersubjective, emergent process that is not only everywhere in language but also everywhere language is. In this review, I discuss how recent research in linguistic anthropology and related fields has continued to build on such insights in investigations of …
The Routledge Handbook of Language and Emotion
This chapter approaches religion – and specifically present-day lived religious expression – from the perspective of emotions and learning to work with emotions. The particular emphasis is an approach that understands emotions as dynamic ways to relate to the self, different kinds of others, and the world. This relationality is in many more or less subtle ways enhanced, guided and regulated by religious teachings and rituals. The dynamics of reli…

We (Tong) Chinese”
This paper explores discursive ways Chinese American older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) take ownership of their health management. Fifteen patient stakeholders with T2DM took part in four focus group interviews. We used qualitiative discourse analysis to examine how participants used the phrase, “We (Tong) Chinese,” and variants, to index models of Chinese-living-in-the-U.S. personhoods, to incorporate “Chinese” and “western” ways …
"Semiotic Collisions and the Metapragmatics of Culture Change in Dr. Song Yujin's "Chinese Medical Psychology
This paper is about interaction in the clinic of Dr. Song Yujin, a physician who practices "Chinese medical psychology" in Beijing, China. In particular, we highlight how Dr. Song challenges deep-seated ideas about family, personhood, and healing among his patients. Through close study of one interaction that Dr. Song has with a patient and her family, we demonstrate how Dr. Song draws upon prosody, gaze, teaching talk, and terminology to constru…

New Age with Chinese Characteristics? Translating Inner Child Emotion Pedagogies in Contemporary China
This article examines the translation of inner child emotion pedagogies in contemporary China. With a focus on several interactions taking place within evening salons, the article observes the pedagogical strategies and metalinguistic practices that translate as well as transform inner child pedagogies in novel ways. I emphasize the ways in which these encounters play upon the boundaries between "inner" and "outer" selves in the teaching of a dis…
Living Translation
Integrating theoretical perspectives with carefully grounded ethnographic analyses of everyday interaction and experience, Living Translation examines the worlds of international translators as well as U.S. teachers and students of Chinese medicine, focusing on the transformations that occur as participants engage in a “search for resonance” with foreign terms and concepts. Based on a close examination of heated international debates as well as s…
Standardization and Its Discontents
Various attempts at language standardization have been central in efforts to integrate Chinese medicine into a global, mainstream medical framework. At the same time, language has also proven critical in efforts to integrate Chinese medicine into personal frameworks of meaning as students around the globe grapple with multiple translations. In an effort to convey some of these diverse experiences of standardization and plurality of translations, …
Living translation in US Chinese medicine
This article demonstrates the ongoing, culturally situated and co-constructed nature of the translation of Chinese medicine from Chinese into English. Building upon scholarship in anthropology, sociolinguistics, and translation studies, this article contributes to the building of an anthropologically grounded theory of translation as an ongoing lived event, with implications far beyond the simple transfer of meaning from "source" to "target" lang…
Richard G. Condon Prize, 2010 The Part of Me that Wants to Grab
In this article, I examine the relationship between embodiment, learning, and translation in the field of U.S. Chinese medical education. Based on data collected over two years of video‐recorded classroom interaction and audio‐recorded interviews in a Southern California school of Chinese medicine, I present several examples of how specific Chinese terms are interpreted and learned vis‐à‐vis embodied experience. Analysis of these segments demonst…
Thinking Hearts, Feeling Brains
This paper explores the heart and brain metaphors used in the meaning-making efforts of Chinese individuals diagnosed with depression. Past studies assert that the origin of Chinese language metaphors for thinking and feeling can be found in traditional Chinese medico-philosophical theory, where the heart is viewed as the seat of thought and emotion, and the brain, which constitutes the cognitive center in western theories of the self, is seconda…
