Réponse commune des autrices de Gens: Manifeste féministe pour l'étude du capitalisme aux questions adressées par Paola Juan et Anne-Christine Trémon
1. Quelle a été l’impulsion initiale à la rédaction du Manifeste Gens ? Pourriez-vous nous dire ce qui vous a attirées dans le format « manifeste » ? Gens est né d’un constat que nous partagions toutes : il existait un nombre important de travaux théoriques en anthropologie sur le capitalisme n’étant pas reconnus ou cités en tant que tels. Au lieu de cela, les apports anthropologiques sur le capitalisme se cantonnaient au statut d’exemples ou d’i…
Gens: Un manifeste féministe pour l'étude du capitalisme
Ce manifeste féministe propose une nouvelle approche pour étudier le capitalisme en se concentrant sur la notion de « gens ». Les auteures, Laura Bear, Karen Ho, Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing et Sylvia Yanagisako, argumentent que l'analyse traditionnelle du capitalisme, souvent axée sur les structures et les systèmes, néglige les relations interpersonnelles et les dynamiques de pouvoir qui façonnent les expériences vécues. Elles introduisent le concept d…
Battlegrounds of dependence: Reconfiguring labor, kinship and relational obligation
Interdependence is a fundamental characteristic of human existence. The way in which certain dependencies are acknowledged as opposed to those that are hidden, or the ways in which some are validated while others are denigrated, is central to how social inequalities are reproduced and recreated. In this introduction we explore how particular dependencies are categorized, separated, and made visible or invisible as part of their performative effec…
States of dependence: Introduction
Anxieties around the moral effects of states of ‘dependence’ remain central to political and social debate across the world. At a time when the association between wage‐labour and a particular valorised conception of adult male independence is increasingly hard to sustain, these contests can take on new forms and new levels of intensity. Anthropology has a potentially valuable contribution to make to these discussions, having long made descriptio…
Fabricating Transnational Capitalism: A Collaborative Ethnography of Italian-Chinese Global Fashion
In this innovative collaborative ethnography of Italian-Chinese ventures in the fashion industry, Lisa Rofel and Sylvia J. Yanagisako offer a new methodology for studying transnational capitalism. Drawing on their respective linguistic and regional areas of expertise, Rofel and Yanagisako show how different historical legacies of capital, labor, nation, and kinship are crucial in the formation of global capitalism. Focusing on how Italian fashion…
Situating ascriptions of independence and dependence in Italian family capitalism
Recent anthropological studies of Italy have presented vivid and compelling accounts of the anxieties about precarity and economic dependence that have emerged as both state protections of employment and social welfare provisions have weakened. This essay, in contrast, argues that for a substantial sector of the Italian populace, work relations have been governed less by a state‐regulated regime of labour than by kinship ideologies and relations.…
Family Firms
Family firms are enduring forms of capitalist enterprise and not an archaic, transient form that will inevitably be supplanted by nonfamily firms. Two key challenges to the comparative analysis of family firms are the absence of a standard definition of them and the dominance of theories of modernity and kinship that treat the family firm as an anomaly of contemporary capitalism. This view is rooted in Max Weber's model of the fundamental divide …

Reconfiguring labour value and the capital/labour relation in Italian global fashion
This essay draws on ethnographic research conducted from 2004 to 2012 among Italian firms involved in the manufacture and distribution of textiles and clothing in China to argue that the boundary between labour and capital cannot be assumed as fixed and stable, but rather is continually remade through particular, situated historical processes. I show how the Italian national legacy of capital/labour relations both set the stage for the outsourcin…

Immaterial and industrial labor
At the core of Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri's thesis that a new global form of sovereignty has replaced a previous imperialist geography is their claim that the capitalist mode of production has undergone a shift from a modern era in which "industrial labor" was hegemonic to a postmodern era in which "immaterial labor" has become hegemonic. In this article, I argue that capitalism in Europe (let alone other areas of the world) does not conform…

Women-Centered Kin Networks in Urban Bilateral Kinship
Previous explanations of female centrality and "matrilateral asymmetry" in urban bilateral kinship have tended to reduce women's roles in extrahousehold kinship relations to their roles as mothers, and they have failed to explicate the social and cultural processes through which this asymmetry has emerged. In contrast, the present analysis of kinship relationships in an urban Japanese-American community attributes the centrality of women in inter…

Variance in American kinship: Implications for Cultural Analysis
The question of variance in American kinship provides a rich basis for a discussion of several critical conceptual, theoretical, and methodological Issues embedded in the cultural analysis of kinship or any other cultural domain. The paper begins with an examination of the extent to which David Schneider's cultural account of American kinship represents and explicates the symbolic system of second‐generation Japanese‐Americans. This leads to the …
Two Processes of Change in Japanese-American Kinship
Two processes of change in Japanese-American kinship are analyzed using a theoretical framework which differentiates the cultural structure of kinship (kinship as a system of symbols and meanings) from the social structure of kinship (the patterning of actual interaction between kinsmen). The first process, which follows Parsons's model of structural differentiation, entails a normative reorganization that leaves higher order values and the symbo…

Family and Household: The Analysis of Domestic Groups
cts of family lif e in Australia was urgently needed. He claimed that the confusion and contradiction in extant depictions of the Australian family were due to certain theoretical postulates and axioms adopted by some ethnographers. Principal among these was the attribution of Eu ropean characteristics to the aboriginal family without adequate investiga tion of the details of actual family relationships. As an antidote to such inclinations, Mal…
