Kinship and the politics of responsibility: An introduction
This special issue presents a range of case studies that exemplify the potential of kinship for thinking about and acting in relation to various kin and non-kin others in ways that invite us to reconsider the boundaries of politics and the political. The introduction examines ethnographic research that informs the articles in the special issue and shows the ways in which tensions and continuities across relations of intimacy, family and kinship, …
Two Sides of the Same Coin? World Citizenship and Local Crisis in Argentina
Cosmopolitanism is often discussed in a critical and disapproving manner: as a concept complicit with the interests of the powerful, or as a notion related to Western political supremacy, the ills of globalization, inequality, and capitalist economic penetration. By means of exploring the idiosyncratic form of political intimacy generated by anti-cosmopolitanism, and assuming an analytical and critical stance towards the concepts of parochialism …
Introduction: The Anthropology of Europe
The political geography of the post-war world arid the changing climate of East-West relations had profound implications for the development of the social sciences in Europe and the USA. In 1959 a conference was held at the European headquarters of the Wenner-Grenn Foundation. Three major political factors should be taken into account in any attempt to characterize this period; the return of radical conservatism, with its associated neoliberal ec…
Gender, Family and Work in Naples
Breaking new ground in Mediterranean anthropology, this book rejects the discipline's traditional focus on honour and shame in small face-to-face communities, and suggests that gender and sexuality interact with material processes in the constitution of personal and social identities. In this ethnographic account of the labour market in Naples, the author shows how cultural definitions of gender can be used to investigate broad social processes. …
From ‘the People’ to ‘the Citizens’: The Possibilities and Limitations of Populist Discourse in Argentina
Discomforting ethnography and contentious biographies: The case of Argentina
This article explores the entanglements of emotion and thought that are a pre‐condition to personal and professional engagements with place, particularly where temporal and spatial dislocations produce unexpected gaps and connections between the ethnographer and her or his research subjects. Personal memory and experience provide an awkward but necessary guide when exploring Argentina's history of violence and its connection to different kinds of…

New Beginnings between Public and Private: Arendt and Ethnographies of Activism
We explore Arendt's idiom of 'new beginnings' which, for her, constitute the very heart of the political in the light of two case studies. Drawing on examples of political action in the human rights organization of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and among sex workers in London, this article engages with the complex and productive interface of what Arendt calls praxis and poiesis. We suggest that it is precisely through t…
Appropriation as practice: Art and identity in Argentina - By Schneider, Arnd
This Is History: Nation and Experience in Times of Crisis-Argentina 2001
In December 2001, as Argentina faced a major economic and political crisis, widespread demonstrations converged on key political sites. The protests brought down the government and a state of "routine contention" was sustained for much of 2002. Focusing on the accounts of middle‐class witnesses and participants in the demonstrations, this article explores the meaning of the event, considering in particular the claims that these were spontaneous a…
Gender, Agency and Change: Anthropological Perspectives
Gender, Family and Work in Naples
Breaking new ground in Mediterreanean anthropology, this book rejects the discipline's traditional focus on honour and shame in small face-to-face communities, and suggests instead that gender and sexuality interact with material processes in the constitution of personal and social identities. In this ethnographic account of the labour market in Naples, the author shows how cultural definitions of gender can be used to investigate broad social pr…
The Anthropology of Europe: Identities and Boundaries in Conflict
Child Labour in Naples: The Case of Outwork
This article is based on a paper given during last February's conference on 'The Protection of Children' co-organized by the RAI and the Minority Rights Group (see report in A.T., June 1985). In January 1981 the Anti-Slavery Society held a workshop on child labour at the Institute of Development Studies. The intention of this workshop was to bring together social scientists and policy-makers to discuss a problem which has proved to be elusive. In…
