Subversive Archaism
Reviewed by: Subversive Archaism: Troubling Traditionalists and the Politics of National Heritage by Michael Herzfeld Antonio Sorge Michael Herzfeld. 2022. Subversive Archaism: Troubling Traditionalists and the Politics of National Heritage. Durham: Duke University Press. 256 pp. Subversive Archaism interrogates the assumptions that underpin modernist models of social order presided over by technocratic elites.

Anxiety, Ambivalence, and the Violence of Expectations
Throughout Europe, the arrival of irregular migrants in recent years has triggered the expression of nativist anxieties, witnessing a broad recourse to violent rhetoric and the embrace of exclusivist models of national and regional community. With an ethnographic focus on migrant resettlement in Sicily, this paper argues that the elaboration of a cosmopolitan ethic that rejects the politics of exclusion can be met with ambivalence by local people…
Emergent Axioms of Violence
This collection highlights the diverse and complicated ways that violence becomes axiomatic, namely through political rhetoric, epistemological impositions, and colonial legacies. Considering how axiomatic violence emerges from events of rupture as well as slow-moving structural inequalities, authors interrogate both the novelty and mundane quality of the current political moment. Approaching violence as axiomatic expands the conceptual lexicon f…

The abandoned village? Introduction to the special issue
In an increasingly urban world, the places where anthropologists work and the subjects they study have undergone significant tranformations. Anthropologists today find themselves working in cities and in sites of advanced technological production, studying urban elites and scientific experts, and pushing the bounds of ethnographic practice "beyond the human." As a result, the village, once the site par excellence of the ethnographic encounter, ha…
The past sits in places
The aim of this paper is to situate the Sardinian village within the flux of contemporary social transformations that stand poised to redefine it. Specifically, it examines the highland village of Orgosolo, understanding it as a site that concentrates a clear set of cultural self-definitions that stand opposed to perceptions of life beyond the locality. A key element of local discourse is a view of the collective historical experience that unders…
Mobile Humanity
Anthropological research in recent decades has become increasingly multi-sited, envisioning the local as an iteration of world-systemic processes, and following the movement of people, things and ideas across the typical boundaries of sites. This review essay examines four edited volumes concerned with such mobility and dislocation. The cultural anthropological volumes engage with the strengths and perceived weaknesses of multi-sited ethnography,…
Hospitality, Friendship, and the Outsider in Highland Sardinia
Hospitality in central highland Sardinia is a key cultural idiom that structures community life and accompanies daily interactions among all social actors. Its meaning varies according to the relationship between the parties involved in the exchange, with social distance a primary variable. Based on field work conducted over a period of thirteen months in 2002 and 2003, this paper examines practices of hospitality in the village of Orgosolo in li…
Divergent visions
This article examines the distinctions between two polysemic social categories - localists and cosmopolitans - in the highland village of Orgosolo in Sardinia, Italy. The analysis proceeds from an assumption of the inherent internal contradictoriness and diversity of cultural systems, and focuses on how seemingly incommensurable norms and values are articulated, embodied, and symbolized in day-to-day practice. Following a presentation of the hist…
