Working Beyond Anthropology Across Different Epistemic Cultures
The ASAANZ conference in Dunedin in 2023 was a catalyst for this conversation about anthropological practices of interdisciplinarity which we have glossed as working across different epistemic cultures. In this piece, we canvas the concept of disciplines as epistemic cultures, argue for the continued need for disciplines, and discuss the benefits of engagement across epistemic cultures when addressing certain research, policy and educational matt…
Borders and Borderlands
This special issue takes as its primary theoretical touchstone cultural, queer, and feminist theorist Gloria Anzalda's La Frontera (2007), a text that interrogated Anzalda's own 'mestiza consciousness' to theorise the multiplying and hybridising potential of the US-Mexico borderlands and the various forms of living that emerged within. Though her writing was always critically and politically engaged, resistance, for Anzalda, was not enough, too m…
Locating transport sector responsibilities for the wellbeing of mobility-challenged people in Aotearoa New Zealand
wellbeing is a central tenet in the Aotearoa New Zealand government's Transport Outcomes Framework. Yet considerations of how place mediates diverse opportunities for wellbeing seldom identify how decision-making on transport and pedestrian infrastructure affects these opportunities. Considering the lived realities of older people and people with disabilities with a specific focus on Indigenous people, we argue it is particularly important to ide…
Anthropology and #MeToo
MeToo deals in the everyday ambiguous and intersectional, providing a space for discussion of the grey areas of sexual propriety. Since 2017, when the term was mobilised spectacularly in the US entertainment industry, other industries have undertaken an examination of their own practices and norms. In this paper we consider the implications of this political moment for the discipline of anthropology, and specifically the idea of ‘the field’ in th…
Displacing Place, Unstating Feminism (or)
Place forms the material grounds of our personal-political becomings, and feminist theory after Adrienne Rich and Audre Lorde demonstrates how understanding our respective locatedness forms a critical step towards meaningful theory and praxis. Such politics and ethics of place are cultivated in the feminist environmental humanities to encompass desires for ecological justice, putting human ethical relationships with the non-human world squarely i…
Pollution and Intimacy in a Transcendent Ethics of Care
In India, where children's care of ageing parents is seen as practical and sacred, animated by notions of seva (selfless service), the outsourcing of elder care causes considerable concern. Meanwhile, carers' work in old-age homes is treated as transactional, and their moral claims about this work are either overlooked or criticised. While gendered, socio-economic circumstances compel the women we discuss in this paper to care-work at an old-age …
Mr. Joshi's Wife
The fourth time she fell, her glass bangle cracked against her brow, narrowly missing her eye.The hospital's brain scans were un-illuminating.Their doctor apologized, unable to tell them anything that offered conclusion.Husband and wife returned home.The next day, she argued with the maid and flung spices at the kitchen wall.The doctor had said these bursts of rage were symptoms of her nameless neurological degeneration.Mr Joshi did not know how …
