  • Theorizing Authenticity

    Lauren Crossland-Marr, Elizabeth L KrauseARTICLEGastronomica The Journal of Food…2023

    “Theorizing Authenticity” contributes to understanding the proliferation of authenticity in popular cultural and market arenas, a phenomenon reflected in the quantity and value of craft and heritage foods globally. The special section provides a place to explore how producers fashion authenticity through creative labor. The four articles in this section focus on the figure of the Italian artisanal producer1 and as such explore how individuals cre…

  • Authentic Possibilities

    Elizabeth L KrauseARTICLEGastronomica The Journal of Food…2023References: 10

    This article argues for the value of authenticity as an analytic. "Authentic possibilities" plays on a double meaning. In one sense, possibilities may be "authentic" in terms of what is true, real, original, grounded, or not fake. In another sense, authenticity as a concept may offer possibilities for analysts to notice how value is created. This article draws on long-term as well as disrupted ethnographic research in the Made in Italy arena acro…

  • Out of place: Everyday forms of marginalization, racism, and resistance among Chinese migrants in Italy

    Elizabeth L Krause, Ying LiARTICLENew Community2022Cited by: 6References: 38

    This paper develops theories of place in relation to migration to argue that the diasporic population of Chinese migrants in Prato, Italy, live not only ‘out of place’ due in no small part to marginalisation and racism, but also live ‘in place’ as they resist and make meaning from experiences and interactions with particular places. We argue that place-based dynamics occurring in urban spaces such as Prato can best be understood in the context of…

    Migrant and refugee populations have been identified as among the most vulnerable to COVID-19 due to what medical anthropologists have described as structural vulnerability.We argue significant differences exist between migrant groups and offer lessons for society at large.We develop the concept of viral encounters to frame an analysis of social narratives, representations, and practices involved in coping with threats of transmission and practic…

  • Scribble Scrabble: Migration, Young Parenting Latinas, and Digital Storytelling as Narrative Shock

    Open AccessElizabeth L Krause, A Gubrium et al.ARTICLEMedical Anthropology Quarterly2019Cited by: 6References: 36

    The nexus of migration and family offers a conjuncture to enrich understanding of teen pregnancy and parenting. This article draws findings from a project centered on participant-produced new media to reveal how young mothers negotiate reproductive health disparities. We focus on young mothers' experiences of migration and movement, captured in local vernacular through participants' digital story depictions and follow-up interviews. We argue that…

  • “Doing Your Life”: Narrative Intervention with Young Mothers as Storytellers

    A Gubrium, Elizabeth L Krause et al.ARTICLEHuman Organization2018

    The familiar story about young pregnant and parenting Latinas relies on commonsense logic about the timing of reproductive lives. We explore young mothers' own sense making, captured in local vernacular through participants' digital story depictions, our fieldnotes of digital storytelling workshop talk, and participants' follow-up interview reflections about enduring judgment and doing their lives. In this article, we introduce the Hear Our Stori…

  • Merchants in the city of art: Work, identity, and change in a Florentine neighborhood

    Elizabeth L KrauseARTICLEJournal of Modern Italian Studies2018

    A historic market emerges as the protagonist of struggles over identity, heritage, and belonging in an urban Italian neighbourhood. Globalization, migration, and urban politics have transformed ide

  • Circulating Children, Underwriting Capitalism: Chinese Global Households and Fast Fashion in Italy

    Elizabeth L Krause, Massimo BressanARTICLECurrent Anthropology2018Cited by: 8References: 65

    This paper analyzes how kin-related values, norms, and practices become entangled in the hegemony of global supply chains. Our collaboration focuses on the Made in Italy fast fashion sector, where the ultimate flexible workers are Chinese migrants. We home in on a paradox: half of the births in this Italian textile city are to foreign women, yet once weaned many of these babies are then sent to China. This circulation of children gives rise to a …

  • Bodies as evidence: Mapping new terrain for teen pregnancy and parenting

    Open AccessA Gubrium, Alice Fiddian-Green et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2016

    Predominant approaches to teen pregnancy focus on decreasing numbers of teen mothers, babies born to them, and state dollars spent to support their families. This overshadows the structural violence interwoven into daily existence for these young parents. This paper argues for the increased use of participatory visual methods to compliment traditional research methods in shifting notions of what counts as evidence in response to teen pregnancy an…

  • They Just Happened: The Curious Case of the Unplanned Baby, Italian Low Fertility, and the "End" of Rationality

    Open AccessElizabeth L KrauseARTICLEMedical Anthropology Quarterly2012Cited by: 15References: 38

    Even in a country with super-low fertility rates, at least one-quarter of all babies are unplanned. The finding puzzles policymakers. This article uses Italy's "curious case" as a jumping-off point to expose assumptions about rationality. It offers a model to dismantle the "conceit" of rationality, drawing on Max Weber's classic critique and Emily Martin's contemporary appraisal. It asks: (1) How do assumptions about rationality related to sexual…

    Deftly bridging literary conventions, this compelling work exposes the cultural origins of a quiet revolution that occurred over the course of the twentieth century. Elizabeth Krause combines novelistic and ethnographic techniques to illuminate population dynamics that have raised alarm across Europe and the United States, and manifested, for example, in Italy's extremely low birthrate. But what actually motivates people to have fewer children? K…
