Citizenship, Dispossession and Demands for Justice in the Global South
In this introduction to the Special Issue we frame a “dispossession‐citizenship nexus” that generates fresh insights on citizenship dynamics in the Global South. We focus on rural and peri‐urban areas where all citizens are not granted the same bundle of rights and specific categories of citizens are particularly exposed to dispossession of their land by state and corporate entities. Although often justified in the name of development, victims ma…
Ploughing for Justice
This article asks if clientelism is a form of citizenship in an agrarian society under military domination. It focuses on the efforts made by villagers in central Burma to recover land previously grabbed by force by the military state. A promise of land return during the political transition of the 2010s enabled dispossessed farmers to define themselves as ‘original owners’ and thousands of complaints about land seizures were put on the record. B…
Calibrated Engagement
For decades, the heartland of Myanmar has been configured as a pacified space under military surveillance. A closer look reveals how politics is enacted at distance with the state. Calibrated Engagement weaves together ethnography and history to chronicle the transformation of rural politics in Anya, the dry lands of central Myanmar. The book presents situations as varied as local elections, inheritance transmissions, land conflicts and ceremonie…

Ce volume présente douze contributions, complétées d’une introduction générale, d’une préface et d’une postface, portant sur les dynamiques de genre au Myanmar. Les deux éditrices ont inscrit leur questionnement en écho à l’actualité brulante du pays. Leur idée est qu’il est nécessaire d’examiner les dynamiques de genre de la décennie précédente dite de « transition démocratique » commencée sous Thein Sein en 2010-2011 pour comprendre le coup d’É…

Embodying and fashioning headship
This article proposes an analysis of local politics through an ethnographic exploration of headship. It approaches the experience and enactment of politics by describing a day in the life of a headman in rural lowland Myanmar to show how an individual embodies and fashions headship through successive social settings. More specifically, this ethnographic device is a way to analyze what a headman, as a situated figure and a political institution em…
Les transferts et leurs enjeux
Cet article analyse comment un transfert de nourriture peut devenir un acte politique à partir de la description d’une scène de malaise lors du banquet d’une cérémonie d’initiation bouddhique. Le shinbyu est un rituel de prise de robe marquant l’entrée dans le noviciat pour un jeune garçon, une donation religieuse au sens plein (ahlu), cruciale dans la vie des Birmans bouddhistes. Si le shinbyu a été analysé sous l’angle symbolique et rituel par …
The Stakes of Transfers
This article analyses how a transfer of food can become a political act based on the description of a scene of embarrassment during the feast of a Buddhist initiation ceremony called shinbyu. A shinbyu is a religious donation in the full sense of the term (ahlu), crucial in the lives of the Buddhist Burmese. While the shinbyu has been studied for its symbolic and ritual aspects by various anthropologists, this article proposes to analyse it throu…

Nobody Owns the Land
By looking at the transmission of inheritance as a process of redefining authority and responsibility, this paper argues that what organizes land relations in the central plain of Myanmar are the dynamics of kinship and the moral and social obligations between family members. In Gawgyi, a Burmese village of Buddhists, entitlement to inheritance pervaded the organization of land relations since the precolonial period while successive state project…
Garder tout en donnant » un héritage dans le centre du Myanmar
Cet article examine la transmission de l'héritage dans une zone rurale du centre du Myanmar. L'étude de cette transmission au sein d'une famille d'agriculteurs montre que le paradoxe de « garder tout en donnant » structure l'héritage. Les parents doivent transmettre tout leur patrimoine, mais ils en gardent une partie pour continuer à vivre en la réservant pour la personne qui les prendra en charge. Partir d'un cas particulier dévoile comment cet…
Dossier « Réaffectations du foncier
Reconstruire la biographie d'une terre dans un village du centre du Myanmar permet d'analyser les rapports entre les relations foncires locales et les pratiques gouvernementales. Cette tude de cas se focalise sur une parcelle en particulier : dtenue par un premier couple de villageois dans les annes cinquante, puis confisque et rattribue par le gouvernement un second couple, elle fut par la suite transforme en terre vacante et est aujourd'hui un …
