Should vs Can: An Exploration of Freedom under Grace and Freedom in Law in Méadhbh McIvor’s Representing God: Christian Legal Activism in Contemporary England
REPRESENTING GOD: CHRISTIAN LEGAL ACTIVISM IN CONTEMPORARY ENGLAND. By Méadhbh McIvor. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2020. One of the lectures in my Anthropology of Ethics course focuses on ethnographic and theoretical explorations of the question: because you can, should you? This question is one of two that animates Méadhbh McIvor’s sensitive and thought-provoking ethnography because it is consistently posed by both sets of her ethnogr…
Comparison in a World of Resemblances, Flows and Proximities
Anthropologists compare – it is at the heart of what we do as we try and make sense of, describe and explain human social being in all its diversity. But the use of comparison extends far beyond anthropology. Indeed, it seems ubiquitous across the board, even necessary, and richly generative in and for a meaningful social world. In that sense, comparison is a fitting theme for this conference and I am delighted to have the opportunity to systemat…
A decolonial anthropology: You can dismantle the master's house with the master's tools
The 2022 meeting of the Group for Debates in Anthropological Theory (GDAT) Social Anthropology, University of Manchester. The motion is, of course, a riff on Audre Lorde's well-known 1984 claim that 'the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house. They may allow us temporarily to beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change.' Lorde is asking about the tools of a racist and constitutionally excl…
Dialogues: Decolonizing anthropology in/with Japan
A dialogue with Sachiko Kibota, President of the Japanese Society of Cultural Anthropology
Productive Decontextualization: Philosophical Conversations in the Pub
Anthropologists are often averse to the decontextualized approaches of moral and other forms of philosophy, arguing that they lack the thickness required to think well and carefully about issues of import. Based on fieldwork with a group of people who meet regularly in pubs to do philosophy, this article argues that decontextualization and abstraction can be useful in attempts to think well about big questions with others, but for oneself. Pub ph…
Differentiating Development: Beyond an Anthropology of Critique
Over the last two decades, anthropological studies have highlighted the problems of ‘development’ as a discursive regime, arguing that such initiatives are paradoxically used to consolidate inequality and perpetuate poverty. This volume constitutes a timely intervention in anthropological debates about development, moving beyond the critical stance to focus on development as a mode of engagement that, like anthropology, attempts to understand, re…
The wedding of two trees: Connections, equivalences, and subjunctivity in a Tamil ritual
A wedding between two trees in a Tamil village reveals that a tree can be more than, while still remaining, a tree. It needs to be a tree because trees do certain things. It can be made more than a tree, however, through a logic of homological connections which temporarily create equivalences between trees and divinities. The wedding (kalyanam), a ubiquitous Tamil ritual form which pertains not only to marriage, creatively and subjunctively opens…
Afterword
Placing the anthropology of tax and taxation in conversation with the anthropology of ethics yields productive insights into both subfields. This is because discussions and disputations about tax and taxation reveal the ways in which people articulate and evaluate their relations with others, with the state, with ‘ought’ and ‘is’, and in terms of ownership and responsibility. They open up the complex relationship between legal obligations constru…
The Cow in the Elevator: An Anthropology of Wonder by Tulasi Srinivas
Reviewed by: The Cow in the Elevator: An Anthropology of Wonder by Tulasi Srinivas Soumhya Venkatesan Tulasi Srinivas, The Cow in the Elevator: An Anthropology of Wonder. Durham: Duke University Press, 2018. 296 pp. Tulasi Srinivas's The Cow in the Elevator is part lament and part celebration. It laments the ways in which the Indian city of Bangalore has changed since the mid-1990s, when its transformation into India's IT capital first began and …
Object, subject, thing: Tamil Hindu priests’ material practices and practical theories of animation and accommodation
Tamil Hindu priests transform anthropomorphic clay and stone statues into materially present gods who are alive, aware, and corporeally active. These embodied deities are humanlike but not human, which makes them both a rich resource for human-divine interactions and a source of discomfort, given their potency and uncanny expressiveness. As a material practice, Hindu animation has its own material logics and technologies, practical theories, and …
Morality is fundamentally an evolved solution to problems of social co-operation
This debate took place at the Association of Social Anthropologists (ASA) conference in Oxford on 21 September 2018, following the model of the Group Debates in Anthropological Theory at the University of Manchester (GDAT). It brought together and into confrontation two of anthropology's relatively new sub-fields (new at least in their current incarnations), namely evolutionary anthropology and the anthropology of morality and/or ethics. Although…

Giving and Taking without Reciprocity: Conversations in South India and the Anthropology of Ethics
This article contributes to the anthropology of ethics through an analysis of conversations among Muslim and Hindu householders in Tamil Nadu, India, about instances of alms/charitable giving where there is no expectation of direct reciprocity and where both giving and taking make reference to religion. I argue, first, that people make certain kinds of giving or taking ethical or unethical through talk and, sec- ond, that instances of ‘ethical ta…
After the Event: Video and Its Potential for Uncovering Information
This article is based on research among potters in Tamilnadu, south India, who make and enliven clay images of gods for worship in Hindu temples. It explores the ways in which the showing of a DVD of a ritual event to participants at one such temple image consecration opened up new understandings and new lines of enquiry for the author. Key among these is the way in which the craftsman both cuts himself out of a project when his work is done whil…

Talk and Practice: Ethics and an Individual in Contemporary South India
This article explores the intricate relationship between talk and practice in the anthropology of ethics by focusing on one individual, a temple and consecration priest, in Tamil Nadu, South India. By examining his relations with other people, gods and his ideal and present self, the article suggests that ethical self-cultivation is an ongoing practice and is based on ordinary and extraordinary encounters, evaluations and reflections thereon. It …
The Group for Debates in Anthropological Theory (GDAT), The University of Manchester: The 2011 annual debate - Non-dualism is philosophy not ethnography

This article comprises the edited presentation and discussions of the 2011 GDAT debate on the motion 'Non-dualism is Philosophy not Ethnography'. The debaters proposing the motion were Michael Scott and Nikolai Ssorin-Chaikov. They were opposed by Christopher Pinney and Joanna Cook.

Nondualism is philosophy, not ethnography: A review of the 2011 GDAT debate
The motion for the 2011 Group Debate in Anthropological Theory (GDAT) which took place at the University of Manchester (on November 12, 2011) was "Nondualism is philosophy, not ethnography." Nondualism as a philosophical term entails continuity between body and mind, rather than a separation thereof. Such an ontological claim is increasingly gaining momentum in ethnographic thought and practice. This blooming relation between ethnography and nond…

Sometimes Similar, Sometimes Dangerously Different: Exploring Resonance, Laminations and Subject-Formation in South India
This paper explores the ways in which particular individuals or groups are cast as problematically other at certain times by exploring the relationship between empathy and antipathy - identified as products of 'resonance', or a certain kind of responsiveness to embodied encounters with others and also to concerns, ideas and discourses that originate locally or from elsewhere. Consequent effects on subject-formation and affordances of social possi…
The anthropological fixation with reciprocity leaves no room for love: 2009 Meeting of the Group for Debates in Anthropological Theory
The social life of a "free" gift
In this article, I continue the anthropological interest in gifting. I trace the story of a historical failed gift of a South Indian woven mat to Queen Elizabeth II, which, in later accounts was transformed into a successful gift. Identifying this mythical successful gift as a "free gift" (following Jacques Derrida) reveals the power of descriptions in making relations. I argue that the transformation of an unsuccessful gift into a mythical free …

Rethinking agency: Persons and things in the heterotopia of 'traditional Indian craft
Based on ethnography among handloom mat-weavers in South India, this article asks how persons and things become agents, and what this process involves. Foucault's concept of the heterotopia is utilized to think through the puzzle seen in 'traditional Indian craft', but not restricted to it: why and how are certain marginalized persons and things brought by powerful others to the centre of a framed social space? How does this repositioning simulta…

Shifting balances in a 'craft community: The mat weavers of Pattamadai, South India
This article seeks to critically examine conceptualisations of community through the study of a 'traditional craft industry' in the Tamil town of Pattamadai.

Charity: Conversations about Need and Greed
In this chapter I examine ethnographically some of the ways in which people discuss what they or others should and should not do, and what they do do in their attempts to live good lives.

Learning to weave; weaving to learn … what
This paper places the anthropology of learning in conversation with the anthropology of work by unpacking the interrelationship between the processes by which a skill is learned and knowledge about the skill, its possibilities and ramifications. The paper's ethnographic focus is the Labbai mat‐weavers of Pattamadai town in South India, who are ambivalent about being weavers. It contrasts this ambivalence with the excitement that weaving generated…
