Culture Wars
The relationship between anthropologists’ ethnographic investigations and the lived social worlds in which these originate is a fundamental issue for anthropology. Where some claim that only native voices may offer authentic accounts of culture and hence that ethnographers are only ever interpreters of it, others point out that anthropologists are, themselves, implanted within specific cultural contexts which generate particular kinds of theoreti…

The BBC World Service in the Middle East
As the World Service’s first foray into foreign-language broadcasting (Guardian, 1938) and its first initiative to branch out into non-English-language television (1994—96; 2008 to present), BBC Arabic has played a central role for the Corporation. Distrust of its claims to impartiality, however, persists. To assess both claims and critiques, we examine its politics of translation under four headings: transporting data from the field to the broad…
Transcultural journalism
Transcultural journalism and the politics of translation
When George Orwell worked for the BBC Eastern Services during the Second World War, he regarded it as ‘an organ of colonial discourse propagating the word and world view of the metropolitan centre to its peripheral subject people’ (Kerr, 2002: 473–90). Orwell’s misgivings about his own journalistic practice and the BBC Eastern Service’s suspected ideological functions may pose an enduring dilemma for some journalists, but many are delighted to en…
Introduction – South Asian diasporas and the BBC World Service
This article sets out the analytical framework of this special issue and outlines the development of BBC radio broadcasting in South Asia. It analyses the ways in which the BBC in South Asia is integrally and indissolubly intertwined with ‘critical events’ and shifting geopolitical priorities: from the imperial and diasporic imaginings of the Empire Service, to its dissolution and the expansion of South Asian language services during World War II…
The BBC Arabic Service
Launched in 1938 as the BBC's first foreign language radio service, 80 years later, in 2008, the BBC Arabic Service also became the first tri-media platform at the World Service offering news and current affairs not only on radio and on online, but also via a fully fledged TV Channel in Arabic. This article traces the intervening transformations by exploring two critical moments in detail and examines why broadcasting to the Middle East has assum…
Epilogue The BBC World Service and the Middle East - Past, Present, and Future Dilemmas

It also explains the relationship between BBCWS and British Foreign and Commonwealth office (FCO). Public diplomacy is stated to have altered the perceived and potential role of the BBC in the region

Essays on cultural transmission - Maurice Bloch
Grammars of Identity / Alterity
Issues of the construction of Self and Other, normally in the context of social exclusion of those perceived as different, have assumed a new urgency. This collection offers a fresh perspective on the ongoing debates on these questions in the social sciences and the humanities by focusing specifically on one theoretical proposition, namely, that the seemingly universal processes of identity formation and exclusion of the 'other' can be differenti…

Civil Enculturation
For several years now, the concepts of 'civil culture' and 'civil society' have been widely discussed in the social sciences. Theoretically innovative and empirically rich, this volume is one of few studies that offer solid and focused ethnographic research on how the tenets and assumptions of civil culture are inculcated in schools. The authors examined school curricula, texts and pedagogical practices, observed daily interaction within the scho…

Ritual implicates ‘Others’
On the day when I began to draft this chapter,1 a West London weekly newspaper local to my place of second fieldwork carried on its front page a large, imposing photograph. It showed a file of elderly men recognizable as Punjabi Sikhs by their bearded features and turbans and as veteran combatants from the arrays of medals pinned to their chests. Under the bold heading ‘World War Heroes’, readers were informed that ‘Ex-Indian Army servicemen from…

The Multicultural Riddle
Multicultural Riddle is a comprehensive exploration of all the issues that shape our search for a multicultural society. The book examines how we can establish a state of justice and equality between and among three groups: those who believe in a unified national culture, those who trace their culture to their ethnic identity, and those who view their religion as their culture. To solve the multicultural riddle, one must rethink national identity…

Body Politic or Bodies of Culture
South Asian settlers in Britain differ from most other migrants in Europe by 'enjoying' full civic status as British citizens. This starting-point would seem to favour civic integration and promise speedy political incorporation. The observable social processes, however, document a different logic. While the centralized legislative and executive organs of the British nation-state strive to maintain and confirm a 'culturally neutral' civic equalit…

Managing a Polyethnic Milieu
figure of the 'cousin' has come to function as a 'cultural unit' (Schneider 1980a) in a polyethnic and consciously multi-cultural setting. The setting, London's post-migration suburb of Southall, shows young Sikh, Hindu and Muslim South Asians, as well as Afro-Caribbeans and to some extent 'whites', converging upon an emphasis on cousin bonds and cousin claims. This convergence is understood as an internally plural process which, although subject…
