Legacies, logics, labors of love: Essays on the economic anthropology of Jane Guyer
We write to note the passing of world-renowned Africanist and economic anthropologist Jane Isabel Guyer, who died in Davis, California, on January 17, 2024, from complications from dementia. Born in Dunoon, Scotland, on New Year's Eve in 1943, she had just turned 80. Jane earned a PhD in anthropology from the University of Rochester in 1972 and went on to teach at Boston University, Harvard, Northwestern, and, finally, Johns Hopkins, from which s…
A ndrikopoulos Apostolos. — Argonauts of West Africa: Unauthorized Migration and Kinship Dynamics in a Changing Europe
Mamadou Dia, originaire de Gandiol (Saint-Louis du Sénégal), voyage dans la sous-région ouest-africaine avant d’embarquer en mai 2006, à presque 23 ans, dans une pirogue en direction de l’Espagne depuis Yarakh, village de pêcheurs à Dakar. « Clandestin » durant quatre années, il raconte dans un ouvrage son périple et ses conditions de vie avant de retourner au Sénégal, à Gandiol, pour construire des projets pour et avec les jeunes de son village.…
Andrikopoulos Apostolos. — Argonauts of West Africa: Unauthorized Migration and Kinship Dynamics in a Changing Europe
Issu d’une thèse de doctorat en anthropologie soutenue à l’Université d’Amsterdam en 2017, ce livre propose une réflexion originale sur le rôle de la parenté auprès d’immigrés africains vivant en Europe en situation de précarité matérielle et administrative. L’ouvrage s’appuie sur un terrain ethnographique mené à Amsterdam auprès de migrants ghanéens et nigériens, qu’Andrikopoulos appelle les « Argonautes » de l’Afrique de l’Ouest, faisant référe…
Our planet: Too big to fail”: The semiotics of capitalist responses to climate change
In September of 2020, the Financial Times organized its inaugural “Moral Money Summit,” a gathering of world leaders in business and finance with an interest in sustainable investing. At this online event, the head of sustainable finance at the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) premiered a film highlighting “the importance of nature to our global economy and the catastrophic risks to our financial systems if we choose to ignore it.”1 Its title, “Our Plan…
Consuming Inequities: Vegetarianism, climate crisis, and political upheaval in South Africa
Record numbers of South Africans have eliminated or reduced meat in their diet, in an effort to address climate change. This article offers an ethnographic examination of the ways political and environmental issues play out on the plates of South Africans. Foregrounding the experiences of Black vegetarians, it traces the ways people of different races, classes and genders grapple with the social stakes of eating in a society where ecological cris…
Material Care and Kinship on Trips to Dakar: Proximity via pluriparentalité in transnational Senegalese families
This article examines how relatives in Dakar take up diverse parental roles (Goody 1971, 1982) vis-à-vis migrants’ children, in efforts to cultivate transnational affective and economic relationships with children growing up in France. It examines the social work of kinship-making during families’ trips to Dakar, questioning whether and how transnational kin might establish roles of pluriparentalité with children growing up abroad. Not everyone w…
Moral Orders of Multinationals: Registers of Value in Corporate Food Production
This article analyzes moral registers about and within one of the world’s largest food corporations. Based on fieldwork at a French multinational corporation, I trace how speech registers surrounding food circulate across institutional arenas, reconfiguring material connections between the company and consumers. I examine the emergence of a “Big Food” register, critical of the food industry, and analyze the discourses it has triggered within one …
Manger en ville. Regards socio-anthropologiques d’Afrique, d’Amérique latine et d’Asie: Regards socio-anthropologiques d’Afrique, d’Amérique latine et d’Asie
Cet ouvrage expose les changements des habitudes alimentaires dans des villes d'Afrique, d'Amérique latine et d'Asie. À travers l'étude des pratiques et des représentations alimentaires de citadins, il montre l'insuffisance d'une analyse de ces changements en termes d'occidentalisation, d'uniformisation, de " transition " ou de convergence vers un modèle qui se généraliserait. Menées dans les villes des Suds, les enquêtes révèlent que les citadin…
Investir dans plusieurs classes sociales. Enfance transnationale et accueil des enfants de la diaspora à Dakar
Des familles sénégalaises issues des classes moyennes résidant en France emmènent leurs enfants au Sénégal durant les congés scolaires pour rendre visite à leurs familles. Cet article examine comment, à travers la socialisation des enfants, des migrants sénégalais diplômés du supérieur cherchent à leur transmettre un statut de classe moyenne à la fois en France et au Sénégal. L'appartenance aux classes moyennes ne reposant pas sur les mêmes resso…

La politisation de l'alimentation ordinaire par le marché
Les grandes entreprises de l'alimentation de masse font aujourd'hui face à des critiques, à une défiance croissante et à un tassement de leurs parts de marché. Si les dimensions politiques de l'assiette engagée des militants et de l'assiette caritative des pauvres et des aidés ont été pointées dans la littérature, celles de l'assiette ordinaire de la consommation de masse ont été peu abordées. Cet article dépeint l'évolution de la défiance, en Fr…
Empire's leftovers: Eating to integrate in secular Paris
Faced with heightened xenophobia and economic decline, middle class Senegalese in Paris provide a striking example of the ways immigrants reinforce transnational hierarchies as they cling to (post)colonial privilege. This article examines how Senegalese immigrants and their French-born children draw on eating practices to index religion as an axis of social differentiation, producing hierarchies of belonging in France. In the context of escalatin…
Gifts, trips and Facebook families: Children and the semiotics of kinship in transnational Senegal
Scholarship on transnational families has regularly examined remittances that adults abroad send to children in their country of origin. This article illuminates another permutation of these processes: family members in Senegal who establish relations with and through children in France through gifts and money. Focusing on relationships between children in Paris and their family members in Dakar, it provides an insight into the everyday exchanges…

Snack Sharing and the Moral Metalanguage of Exchange: Children's Reproduction of Rank-Based Redistribution in Senegal
Adults in Senegal explain children's snack sharing practices as the product of gender and age differences in children's temperament, describing older girls as better behaved and thus better suited to divvy up food. But close examination of children's language practices while sharing food reveals the nuanced semiotic strategies they draw on to negotiate rights to material resources. This article builds on Judith Irvine's research into the intersec…
