Introduction
Revisiting the Untranslatable
English Abstract: Fiction might not be formally the same genre as ethnography, but fiction remains a legitimate companion to anthropological reflection. Placing Kafka alongside the authors of this special section of SA/AS allows me to read them just a touch beyond their central positions: especially for what they can teach us about untranslatability, 'impass-ability' and impossibility, as a vital part of ethnography and of relating more generally…
After the Medium
Moving from contemporary ethnography to Brazilian poetry from the turn of the twentieth century, this paper extends recent calls to attend more to relationships in religious studies. Scholars have argued that focusing on intimate relations allows us to stay critical while overcoming the impasses produced by opposed approaches, especially those that either privilege materiality or interiority. This paper explores how a focus on relations inspired …
The Work of Impossibility in Brazil
This article describes Brazil's late twentieth-century religious transformation through the lens of an Amazonian settler family whom I call the Solanhas. Accounts of various Solanha members' shifting religious and political commitments elucidate how the perceived impossibility of constant human (as opposed to divine) friendship, a perception that also applies to the limitations of kinship, is implicated in the move from an encompassing Catholicis…
No such thing asaconcept
In light of renewed questions about the relationship between anthropology's past and future, two radicalizations of the British tradition are particularly worth exploring: those of Talal Asad and Marilyn Strathern, arguably the most widely read anthropologists beyond the discipline, and the most regularly misunderstood. Asad and Strathern are rarely engaged together because the anthropologies that their works have inspired operate quite separatel…
On secularity
On 17 April 1996, police opened fire on more than 1,500 unarmed protesters of the Landless Workers' Movement (MST) in Southeast Pará, Brazil, killing nineteen and wounding seventy-nine. Two years later, Osias, one of the wounded survivors, awoke to find that he had written a messianic prophecy, which he decided to share because it contained 'a lot of reality'. This article explores what conditioned Osias's expectation that his text could provoke …
Creationism
This entry gives a snapshot of the history of creationism, a phenomenon that mostly refers to the Protestant antievolutionist movement that began in the United States during the 1960s. It also addresses how certain proponents, who have sought to have a more scientific creationism included in US public school curricula, have ultimately faced US court rulings declaring scientific creationism to be biblically founded and thus unconstitutional for te…
Interpreting Strathern's ‘unconscious’ critique of ontology

La redescription de l'anthropologie selon Marilyn Strathern
Cet article se penche sur la vision de la description anthropologique comme redescription élaborée par Marilyn Strathern. Il éclaire non seulement la façon dont les relations animent l'anthropologie de Strathern, mais aussi la façon dont celle-ci redécrit la discipline elle-même. En effet, la redescription n'est pas un « concept » qui nous permet de « comparer » des « sociétés ». Il s'agit plutôt d'une « relation », désignée comme telle parce qu'…
The Anthropology of Secularity beyond Secularism
This article begins by exploring why secular studies may be stagnating in anthropology. Contrary to recent arguments, I maintain that rather than widening the definition of secularism to address this, we should shift our focus, if only slightly. While secularism remains a worthy object, foregrounding it risks tying the field to issues of governance. I therefore suggest avoiding language that privileges it. Moreover, in returning to Talal Asad's '…
A Christian Politics of Friendship on a Brazilian Frontier
This paper explores ethnography of municipal elections, promise-making and miracles to show how Christians problematise both friendship and politics on a settler frontier in Brazilian Amazonia. Bringing these themes together generates new anthropological perspectives on each, while complementing Derrida's critique of Schmitt's friend-enemy distinction - his definition of the political. Yet the main ethnographic point complicates the argument that…
