In anthropology, the paradox of ‘chosen submission’ has famously been explored by Saba Mahmood. Her work amongst Egyptian women donning the veil in the Islamic da'wa movement spotlights the notion of ‘piety’ to explore how devotion to God can act as a powerful motivator of human behaviour. This article pushes this line of argument further by seeking to make God a more central figure in anthropological analysis, following recent efforts in the field to create both ‘ethnographies of God’, as well as anthropologies that are ‘theologically engaged’. Drawing on ethnographic research amongst Nigerian Pentecostal women, this article illustrates the ways that marital submission is understood by these Christians as a spiritual state that connects them to God – a theological relation, in other words – as well as a social relation between them and their husbands. By analysing their theologies of freedom and submission, this article shows how theological thinking more generally can shape how power is conceived and wielded by religious subjects.","PeriodicalId":47904,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute","volume":"32 3","pages":"852-868"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1467-9655.70081","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147447424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While most migrate to Russia from other post-Soviet countries, a small but highly visible group of the Russian-speaking diaspora has returned from Europe and North America. Lauded in Russian media as ‘ideological migrants’, their narratives at first glance echo those of the state as they claim to flee liberalism and seek freedom. Drawing on ethnographic encounters with some of these migrants in Russia and the United States since 2014, this article examines how disillusionment and geopolitical imaginaries intersect with transnational circulations of the far right to motivate migration. Through two case studies of men returning from the West, this article conceptualizes their migration as a form of moral migration, an ethical alignment of where one lives with one's values. Ethnographic attention to moral migration has implications for understanding how individuals weigh factors beyond economic and political calculations to plan their migration and to address growing disillusionment worldwide with cultural and political liberalism.","PeriodicalId":47904,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute","volume":"32 3","pages":"888-906"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1467-9655.70083","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147719842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At first glance, it captures the quintessence of free laissez-faire market reforms, but I argue there is more to Modi's project of liquidity. This paper re-reads the re-engineering of India's economy, arguing that this idea of liquidity is what holds together in conflicting tension the polarities for de-regulated free laissez-faire market reforms with a re-sacralized and protectionist nationalism. Grounded in the stories of local builders working the ‘spatial fix’, the multi-sited ethnography recovers how money is more than some medium of exchange or vessel for abstract value. It is itself constitutive of shared dispositions, meanings, understandings, a vernacular, all in service towards a conceived ideal commons. Reframing our understanding of modern money thus, the paper therefore argues that Modi's monetarist reforms are an assertion for a different kind of collective existence – a re-sacralized socio-spatial project wherein membership demands the reconfiguration of self and of relations, as these builders experience first-hand. The economy is never just about economics; it is inherently political and indelibly personal.","PeriodicalId":47904,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute","volume":"32 3","pages":"796-814"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148291409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Russian-speaking residents of Daugavpils in Latvia and Sillamäe in Estonia, who feel excluded to various degrees, use their taxpayer subjectivity to claim (full) membership in the political community as good, deserving, and loyal citizens. In the popular and scholarly imaginations, taxation and citizenship are often inextricably linked. This article looks at how Russian-speaking (non-)citizens employ taxes to navigate national and neoliberal ideals of citizenship in Latvia and Estonia, and why they focus on taxes in particular. It also asks how effective taxes are in accessing (full) political membership in Latvia and Estonia. In doing so, I build upon and further contribute to the growing body of anthropological research on tax, arguing that the actual relationship between citizenship and taxation is always contingent on the political context, and should be studied and ethnographically unpacked rather than presumed and taken for granted.","PeriodicalId":47904,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute","volume":"32 3","pages":"815-832"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147667100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the state's extensive infrastructural and architectural development projects, these upgrades have often resulted in more frequent and unpredictable disruptions such as prolonged water shortages rather than delivering the anticipated stability in infrastructure services, particularly in the predominantly Kurdish south‐eastern region. The instability of water distribution intensifies existing regional tensions and political discourses, as inadequate infrastructure has made water a pivotal component of the enduring tension between the Turkish state and the Kurdish people, particularly following the state's armed campaign in 2015. Through ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Mardin, a south‐eastern province of Turkey, this article investigates how governmental dynamics and local politics are shaped around the distribution of water, decisions regarding who has access to it, and the broader regional implications of these policies.","PeriodicalId":47904,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148842964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article explains how a performance of romantic love before marriage is used as a basis by the middle class to claim being global and modern. This is argued by putting forth what the article calls the modern theatrics of love, that is, performing and articulating romantic love in perfectly curated and globally recognized ways that are popularized by professionals (wedding planners, photographers, the hospitality industry) and the media. The context in which modern theatrics of love is explained is of neoliberal India as this article unpacks the entanglements of consumerism, love, and marriage. It further explains how the modern theatrics of love is practised by couples that base their marriage on love as well as those who have an arranged marriage. As such, this article argues that while previous works have emphasized the place of love in marriage for construction of a class identity, there is now also an emphasis on performing of love before marriage in specific ways that are intelligible to a global audience.","PeriodicalId":47904,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute","volume":"381 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148842821","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
