Lives Writ Large: Kabyle Self-Portraits and the Question of Identity
This chapter discusses the Matoub&s;s book as an example of ethno-autobiographical writing that speaks to issues larger than the events of his personal life. The experience of becoming aware of a separate Berber identity through French education and migration is a recurring theme of Rebelle and many of Matoub&s;s songs. A striking characteristic of his life story is that much of his domestic life remains outside the scope of his memoirs: here and…

Staging Hyper-masculinity on Maundy Thursday: Christ of the Good Death, the Legion and Changing Gender Practices in Spain
This paper discusses the role of Christ of the Good Death as a key figure and symbol in a masculine performance by the Spanish Legion in its religious, historical and social context. We explain the recently emerging controversy with regard to the Legion’s performance by pointing out the rapidly changing gender ideology and practice in Spain. The democratization of the Holy Week celebration and ‘gentrification’ of the carriers of the processional …
The Hard Work of Small Talk in Ethnographic Fieldwork
In this article we explore the importance of small talk in the context of ethnographic fieldwork. Our examples derive from more than thirty years of research experience in Spain, Morocco, Algeria, Jordan, and The Netherlands. We argue that small talk is a central, yet taken-for-granted, ingredient of ethnographic fieldwork. We claim that this skill should be reflected upon and given a more consistent role in supplementing and correcting data obta…

Local Religion Revisited: Mediterranean Cases
This article reconsiders the use of the concept of local religion in the study of religious change in the Mediterranean area. By reviewing a small number of recent studies of religious beliefs and practices (apparitions, religious mixing, the role of religious experience in the politics of meaning-making in everyday life) in different parts of the Mediterranean, it is argued that the concept of local religion helps us to grasp the perplexity of r…

Mock Battles between Moors and Christians. Playing the Confrontation of Crescent with Cross in Spain's South
Expressive culture constitutes a field of study par excellence for the combined efforts of anthropology, history and folklore. This contribution deals with a public drama in which mock fights are enacted in the streets and squares of Andalusian towns and villages. The analysis takes into account both the history of Muslim-Christian relationships and the vicissitudes of this particular festival. Links are suggested between religious folklore and e…
The 'noble bandit' and the bandits of the nobles: Brigandage and local community in nineteenth-century Andalusia
Since Hobsbawm published his Primitive Rebels (1959) and Bandits (1969), the study of organized banditry is slowly moving out of the dusky fringe of history and social science. In the 1970s some interesting regional and biographical studies have come to light. Apart from the encouraging example set by Hobsbawm, this has largely been the result of the increasing rapprochement between history and social science. Ordinary, rural and marginal people …
Mediterranean Agro-Towns as a Form of Cultural Dominance. With Special Reference to Sicily and Andalusia
As the prevalent settlement type, agro-towns are highly characteristic of Mediterranean societies. Their remarkable continuity was not only predicated upon political conditions (insecurity), but it was also intimately connected with specific economic and cultural processes. The significance of an urban ethos in the configuration of these forces has often been mentioned but still leaves us with several questions. What does life in agro-towns mean …
Male Sociability and Rituals of Masculinity in Rural Andalusia
This essay explores patterns of male sociability in rural Andalusian bars. Agricultural laborers in particular spend much of their time and money on social drinking. Their behavior in cafés and at festivals reveals a deep concern for their sexual and gender identity. It is shown how gender distinctions are ritualized in drinking performances. An answer to the questions of why the bar is so central a focus for men and why masculine display is so p…
