Governing calculative practices
Over the last decade the English planning system has placed greater emphasis on the financial viability of development. ‘Calculative’ practices have been used to quantify and capture land value uplifts. Development viability appraisal (DVA) has become a key part of the evidence base used in planning decision-making and informs both ‘site-specific’ negotiations about the level of land value capture for individual schemes and ‘area-wide’ planning p…
The Kitchen God Returns to Heaven [Ông Táo Về Trời]
In Vietnam, the Kitchen God is the subject of a special ritual that occurs in most households a week or so before Tết, the lunar new year, that is designed to facilitate this deity’s annual return to heaven. This ritual and its associated beliefs are the subject of the first part of this paper. We then turn to another Tết event, the annual TV comedy show based on the Kitchen God, called “Meeting Each Other at Year’s End.” This show satirises a wi…
Religion, the state, and the Vietnamese lunar new year (Respond to this article at http
This article examines the ways in which the Communist Party and the state in Vietnam have become involved in the annual lunar new year (Tet) festival in the name of the nation, and with how this is facilitated by the ancestor cult and linked to their more general involvement in religious events such as the commemoration of national heroes and deities
Connecting places, constructing Tết
This paper presents an overview of the main features and nature of Tết, the Vietnamese lunar New Year festival, as it is currently experienced in Hồ Chí Minh City. It outlines a variety of social practices associated with Tết and suggests that it is through these that one can identify a ‘festive landscape’ in the city, within which a number of diverse places are made into and experienced as ‘meaningful space’ in the context of the Tết festival. T…
Designer Buildings
This study investigates whether commercial offices designed by 'signature architects' in the United States achieve rental premiums compared with commercial offices designed by nonsignature architects. Focusing on buildings designed by winners of the Pritzker Prize and the Gold Medal awarded by the American Institute of Architects, we create a sample of commercial office buildings designed by signature architects, drawing on CoStar's comprehensive…
Waitangi Day, Okains Bay
Local commemorations of nation, while indexing and taking place within the framework of a national imaginary, need to be understood within their own contexts and sets of relationships as these operate in specific places. This paper examines one such case, that of an annual Waitangi Day event at Okains Bay, a small rural settlement in New Zealand's South Island. Here, although the annual public ritual to mark Waitangi Day follows closely the model…
The Xhosaimbongias trickster
In enacting his ritual of kingship, the Xhosa imbongi (praise poet) in South Africa is marked by his accoutrements and his artistic performance as separated from society; he assumes a sacred stance in a transitional position and effects the social incorporation of his audiences; he mediates between chief and subjects, serving as both upholder of the chief's status and as social critic. His liminal location invites comparison with other trickster …
National Celebration or Local Act of Reconciliation? Public Ritual Performance and Inter-Ethnic Relations in an Australian City
This is a study of the reshaping of Australia Day celebrations in Lismore, a small city in New South Wales, which was motivated by an attempt to make the celebrations inclusive of Indigenous people and to portray the Australian nation as unified rather than divided along lines of race and culture. It shows how and why a group of local people went about reconstructing the Day's events, and how this helped to shape (but not to homogenise) the symbo…
Waitangi Day
New Zealand's national day, Waitangi Day, is a commemoration of the Treaty of Waitangi between Britain and Maori chiefs signed in 1840. The Day has long been marked by controversy and conflict between Maori and Pakeha citizens of the country. In this paper Waitangi Day is viewed as a 'cultural performance' and an analytical framework drawn from the anthropology of performance is applied. This allows for an exploration of the ways in which the eve…
Xhosa Co-operative Agricultural Work Groups
Recent research on agrarian issues in the Eastern Cape Province has indicated a number of ways in which rural people have adapted to changing ecological and socio -economic conditions in attempts to maintain household agricultural production. One such mechanism is the development of various forms of co-operative work in order to overcome shortages of resource inputs. In parts of the Transkei, co-operative work is constructed in terms of a particu…
Labor and Beer in the Transkei, South Africa
The paper examines cooperative labor and its relationship with beer drinking rituals in South Africa’s Transkei. The analysis is placed within a historical context and the evolution of both cooperative labor and beer drinking in response to specific political, ecological, and socioeconomic circumstances. This facilitates a critique of the conventional approach to work parties and the standard typology of cooperative work in Africa and has importa…
Domestic Space, Habitus, and Xhosa Ritual Beer-Drinking
Xhosa beer-drinking rituals are structured according to several principles, among which the spatial order of domestic settings features prominently. An analysis of beer-drink rituals, however, requires that abstract notions of how they are structured spatially be understood in conjunction with practice, in which the spatial norms are applied in specific events and vary in meaning according to the particular variant of the ritual. Spatial symbolis…
Culture, Practice, and the Semantics of Xhosa Beer-Drinking
Rural Xhosa beer-drinking is associated with a specialized lexicon related to producing, distributing, and ritually consuming maize beer in communal settings. Understanding this provides important insights into the status of beer as an indigenous commodity and the link between its consumption and sociopolitical and economic relations. It is in relation to the formal cultural framework of which the beer-drinking register is part that individual ag…

Rural production, land use and development planning in Transkei
Relocation and Advocacy in South Africa’s Transkei
Six years ago the Surplus People's Project, an investigation into forced removals in South Africa, reported that some3.5 million black people had been "uprooted and relocated: as a direct result of prevailing apartheid policies. This figure does not include the missions of people relocated within the areas reserved for blacks (the "homelands") in the name of agricultural "betterment" schemes and associated ideas concerning conservation and rural …
