Through an examination of the narratives of the wife\u0000of a hospice patient in St. Croix, US Virgin Islands, I show that her commitment\u0000to not anticipate the course of her husband’s illness is a moral project pitted\u0000against biomedical modes of prognostication. In a context in which hospice care\u0000is the only option available for many older adults in poor health, I discuss the\u0000incommensurability between this position and the anticipatory horizon on which\u0000hospice care is predicated: the patient’s imminent death. I argue for an approach\u0000to this woman’s experience that takes into account the tendency for temporal\u0000orientations to be thrown into flux when death might be nearby, without reducing\u0000her commitment to not anticipate to mere avoidance or ‘denial’.","PeriodicalId":44700,"journal":{"name":"Cambridge Journal of Anthropology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3167/CJA.2019.370106","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46607115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Under these challenging material conditions, personal networks take\u0000precedence, providing and regulating access to employment and meat provisioning.\u0000Looking beyond discussions of anticipation among migrants focusing on the goals\u0000of migration, I interrogate the role of anticipation in the making and maintaining of\u0000relational networks. Existing analyses of such networks in Mongolia have generally\u0000relied on idioms of reciprocity or obligation. Focusing instead on material transfers\u0000and transactions among ger district residents reveals such networks to be more\u0000ambiguous and prone to failure than notions of reciprocity or obligation can easily\u0000accommodate.

While Nagas have been decorated as ‘traditional democrats’, their sense of the good political life is shaped by values of communal harmony, consensus-building and complimentary coexistence. However, these are threatened by practices and principles of liberal democracy, which led Phugwumi villagers to attempt a procedural adaptation of elections by substituting individual voting for consensus-building and the selection of a leader. I use this ethnographic case to provincialize the sprawling contemporary sense of ‘liberal universalism’, and to postulate that, in their political sociality, Nagas are a ‘society against voting’, an adaptation of Pierre Clastres’ (1977) Society against the State.","PeriodicalId":44700,"journal":{"name":"Cambridge Journal of Anthropology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3167/cja.2018.360210","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48549943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pushing against the idea that feminism in the university is disengaged from broader struggles, the article suggests a complex relationship between feminism as a knowledge project and as a political one. While feminism has had a long-standing decolonizing imperative within the university, equally challenging has been the decolonization of feminism. The #MeToo era has foregrounded the universalizing horizon of feminism, posing new challenges for this project. Arguing for a more complex understanding of generations and the politics of location in these debates, the article draws on a recent and not so recent feminist archive, such as the articulation of ideas of intersectionality and the ways in which multiple feminisms have been understood, in order to explore decolonizing feminism today.","PeriodicalId":44700,"journal":{"name":"Cambridge Journal of Anthropology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3167/CJA.2018.360205","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48553891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Anthropologists could make more of the humanities tradition of going deeply into particular personalities, places, events and relations in search of wider truths. Ethnography exemplifies this, but the discipline’s assimilation into the social sciences and academic bureaucracy counteract this impulse. I draw selectively on my anthropological education and academic work to interrogate the political relationship between western societies and their former colonies. Cambridge University is reactionary for sure, but its decentralized organization makes room for a minority sometimes to change the world. The historical example of the abolition movement illustrates this.
