Hall","doi":"10.1086/724472","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1086/724472","url":null,"abstract":"Does the ethical turn in anthropology divert us from the political? Quite the contrary: there is simply too much about the political—its energies and angers, its solidarities and purposes, its imagination and hopes—that can’t be understood without probing its ethical wellsprings. Steph Grohmann’s The ethics of space: Homelessness and squatting in urban England is, among other things, an engaging and nuanced exploration of this insight. At its heart are occupants of properties left vacant by their legal owners. Some are anarchist activists, others are unhoused for more mundane reasons. They vary in their political commitments and exposure to contingency but are bound and motivated by an ethics of support for the most vulnerable. The ethics of space speaks to me in a rather specific way. I grew up not far from New York’s Bowery at a time, pregentrification, when it was still the city’s most famous skid row. Throughout my childhood, the daily walk to school took me through a small park that was primarily occupied by the unhoused. They were a highly visible, often abject, sometimes aggressive, and always disturbing and fascinating presence that I was too young and naïve to filter out. Early on I foundmyself asking what was the difference between them and me. I had a comfortable apartment to return to each day, they did not: why was it not the other way around—what was keeping me afloat? Grohmann might say that I simply had not yet gotten capitalism’s message, that the homeless are so Other “that the settled person can suppress all fear that, but for","PeriodicalId":47258,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anthropological Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47099942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on a series of mass-mediated scandals and on long-term fieldwork in the predominantly Muslim nation of Malaysia, this essay engages these dynamics, focusing on late-modern transformations in kinship and social relations and contested discourses of masculinity alleging that men are responsible for most ethical breaches and criminality. One of my two overarching goals is to demonstrate the value of providing a unified, historically informed analysis of kinship and gender that deals substantively with both normativity and transgression. The other is to analyze some of the diverse, locally specific ways that globally widespread sociohistorical trends involving the “loosening of constraints” and “increased choices” go hand in hand with new or more pronounced regimes of surveillance, discipline, and control.","PeriodicalId":47258,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anthropological Research","volume":"79 1","pages":"201 - 227"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46504225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ethnographic evidence suggests that processes of ensoulment play a crucial role in the relation between people and objects, bodies, and artifacts in Indigenous Amazonia. Expressed in corporeal terms as a transfer/absorption of vitality and in affectual terms as the communication of sets of affects and social agency, ensoulment is always a two-way process. Through the analysis of Western perceptions on a broad variety of objects, I explore how the Amazonian notion that artifacts are constitutive of bodies and bodies are constitutive of artifacts plays out in Euro-American contexts. I argue that despite the dominance of the scientific paradigm, notions of ensoulment and transfer of agency between people and objects persist in Western popular perceptions.","PeriodicalId":47258,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anthropological Research","volume":"79 1","pages":"228 - 251"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43133141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Today, coastal marine ecosystems are dramatically degraded and threatened by climate change, habitat destruction, overfishing, and more, leaving key questions about the future of ocean ecosystems in increasingly unstable times. Archaeology provides perspectives on past marine ecosystems and people’s role in shaping and influencing coastal environments prior to the dramatic changes of the postindustrial era. Drawing on archaeological research from the California Coast and the Chesapeake Bay, I explore how an understanding of long-term human interactions with marine ecosystems can help address contemporary environmental challenges and better prepare us for an uncertain future. Although clear examples of archaeological research guiding present-day biological conservation management and policy are limited, there are important signs of success. These include collaboration with Indigenous communities; growing recognition by biologists, ecologists, and other scientists of the significance of archaeological and historical ecological perspectives; and continued emphasis on the links between environmental conservation and social justice.","PeriodicalId":47258,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anthropological Research","volume":"79 1","pages":"153 - 175"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46348758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
