British nationalism and encounters with difference: An ethnographic approach to street parties in Thanet
Departing from arguments that the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union (Brexit) signals a resurgence of nationalism that strongly draws on a negational politics toward difference, I first consider emotional processes that might have led people to vote for a nationalist agenda. That is, national identities become a source of pride in a context of economic shame. I then look at this material in relation to ethnographic research on street parties…

Material Culture and Mass Consumption: The impact of Daniel Miller's work in Brazil
This article introduces the special issue reflecting on the influence of the book Material culture and mass consumption by Daniel Miller on interdisciplinary debates in social science in Brazil. Here we review the main arguments presented in the book - yet to be translated into Portuguese - while also considering some of the criticism it has received in past decades. Next, we present the connection between Miller's theory of consumption and his w…
Do you know who you are selling to? An ethnographic approach to upper-class shopping experiences in Rio de Janeiro
An ethnographic approach to consumption practices of upper-class young-adult women in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, shows how shopping and selling experiences are seen as opportunities for owners, staff, and customers to build social relations.

This also produces a distinction between sho…
Made in Britain: Brexit, teacups, and the materiality of the nation
In the town of Margate, England, there are connections between retirees' votes to leave the European Union and their practices inside the local secondhand shop. There, objects marked "Made in Britain," along with the period houses that my interlocutors live in, enable them to connect with a national past and to collectively produce relatedness and a sense of belonging. Like these objects, the "Brexit" referendum on leaving the European Union is f…
Old things with character: The fetishization of objects in Margate, UK
This article explores the work of fetish in practices of consumption at a charity shop in contemporary Margate (UK). Here fetish relates to a specific semiotic ideology (described by Keane in Christian Moderns: Freedom and Fetish in the Mission Encounter, 2007) that acknowledges the personality and history of objects. More specifically, fetish appears as the material property of old objects 'with character' to combine different remnants of the pa…
