Anthropological Gossip
Anthropological gossip, that is, writing mainly for an anthropological audience while criticising other fields, undermines the discipline’s relevance within academia and beyond. To realise the discipline’s critical potential, this piece argues, anthropologists must speak more actively across disciplines
Help can harm
In this paper, we explore the unintended consequences of parenting support and child protection services for families who have migrated from Vietnam to Berlin, Germany. We identify such negative consequences on three levels: The relationship between practitioners and parents was, contrary to good intentions, often characterized by tensions and distrust, which may undermine effective collaboration. Another potentially detrimental effect of parenti…
Anthropologie der Emotionen
Emotionen, Gefühle, affektive Dynamiken: Die Anthropologie der Emotionen hat sich als ein Forschungsfeld etabliert, in dem interdisziplinär gearbeitet wird und das transnational verankert ist. 27 Autor:innen aus Sozial- und Kulturanthropologie, Philosophie, Psychologie, Soziologie, den Neurowissenschaften und der Theaterwissenschaft skizzieren die Genese sowie gegenwärtige Entwicklungen dieser Forschung. Dieses Buch ist eine Einladung an Sozial- …
"Poor brain development" in the global South? Challenging the science of early childhood interventions
Global Early Childhood Development (ECD)-an applied field with the aim to improve the "brain structure and function" of future generations in the global South-has moved to the center of international development. Global ECD rests heavily on evidence claims about widespread cognitive, social, and emotional deficits in the global South and the benefits of changing parenting practices in order to optimize early childhood development. We challenge th…
Parents, Caregivers, and Peers
Research on childhood in anthropology and neighboring disciplines has continuously broadened the range of the social partners that are considered relevant for young children's development-from parents to other caregivers, siblings, and peers. Yet most studies as well as interventions in early childhood still focus exclusively on parents, who are presumed to be the most significant socializing agents. Objecting to such a hierarchical understanding…
How overstated scientific claims undermine ethical principles in parenting interventions
Introduction: While parenting interventions are flourishing in low/middle-income countries (LMICs), their ethical challenges have rarely been considered. We therefore applaud Weber and colleagues1 for their contribution to a recent debate about the ethics of parenting interventions.2 3 To apply the principles of beneficence, autonomy and justice to such interventions is certainly valuable, especially if ‘respect for autonomy’ includes considerati…

Unfolding emotions
The chapter presents an ethnographic case study about the anger repertoire in a rural community of Madagascar. Based on emotion narratives, it first depicts the meaning and internal differentiation of the anger vocabulary in use among this particular population. Then, it reconstructs how children acquire and learn to differentiate the anger emotions of their community. According to the analysis presented here, the conceptual differentiation of an…
How Young Adolescents Draw Themselves
The present study investigated the impact of young adolescents’ learning environment on their culturally mediated view of themselves as expressed in their self-drawings. The sample consisted of 83 young adolescents, 35 male and 48 female, aged 10 to 14 years with an overall average of 12 years living in three diverse ecosocial contexts within the Southern region of Madagascar: 28 participants were recruited in rural villages, 14 adolescents lived…
The Politics of Affective Societies
Many claim that political deliberation has become exceedingly affective, and hence, destabilizing. The authors of this book revisit that assumption. While recognizing that significant changes are occurring, these authors also point out the limitations of turning to contemporary democratic theory to understand and unpack these shifts. They propose, instead, to reframe this debate by deploying the analytic framework of affective societies, which hi…
Ethical Challenges of Parenting Interventions in Low- to Middle-Income Countries
This article explores ethical issues raised by parenting interventions implemented in communities in low- to middle-income countries (LMICs) with rural, subsistence lifestyles. Many of these interventions foster "positive parenting practices" to improve children's chances of fulfilling their developmental potential. The practices are derived from attachment theory and presented as the universal standard of good care. But attachment-based parentin…
Learning (by) Feeling
Although much has been written about "socialization" and "emotion" in different cultures, these two topics have rarely been systematically combined and analyzed from the perspective of ontogenetic development. Drawing on approaches from developmental psychology and cultural anthropology, we examine how cultural models of emotion and their corresponding emotionally arousing child-rearing practices lead to culture-specific pathways of emotion devel…
Socializing Emotions in Childhood
This article addresses the interdependency between child-rearing goals and values, emotionally arousing child-rearing practices, and the socialization and development of so-called socializing emotions. The latter are assigned a general psychological control function that enables children to adjust their behavior and emotions to the normative prescriptions of their culture. It is assumed that they are inculcated by means of emotionally arousing st…
The Politics of Affective Societies
The series EmotionCultures is a collection of works centered around current questions raised in interdisciplinary and innovative research on emotions.At the core are empirical studies from Social and Cultural Anthropology that analyze processes of social and cultural modeling of emotions -always in close theoretical as well as methodological connection to various other disciplines.Key topics concern the generation of emotional codes in interactio…
