Instead, we propose that vision is part of an ongoing semiotic relation between seeing subjects and visual contexts that are not just psychological but also socio-historical and cultural. We engage with the other articles in this special section to argue that human vision works by seeing together. People calibrate their seeing with that of those around them, thereby shaping what's seen and the seeing subjects themselves. These processes are accomplished through overlapping (or “thick”) circuits of intromission and social “extromission” (i.e., actions appropriate to the things seen within specific socio-historical trajectories), so that mutuality of seeing is integral to “mutuality of being.” Understanding seeing processes requires historical and ethnographic investigations of the varieties of visual experience that extend far beyond biophysical mechanisms. The other papers in this section consider the apprenticeship of skilled visions, an account for a vision of the Virgin of Guadalupe in a Chicago underpass, the semiotics of perspective and the tactility of seeing in Tamil cinema, and the role of engineers’ theories of vision in their efforts to develop a prosthetic retina.","PeriodicalId":51532,"journal":{"name":"Ethos","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143698905","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}

This study situates the question in the global yet stratified field of psy knowledge production. Exploring the work of a group of psychological counselors in Sri Lanka, I theorize how such transformation takes shape at the intersection of explicit knowledge and tacit, embodied understanding through the concept of textures. Drawn from ordinary ethics and a phenomenological understanding of habit, the concept points to the felt qualities of interactions and the shared cultural sensibilities and ethical orientations they reflect. Focusing on the counselors’ discourse of “showing the way,” I illustrate how therapeutic practice may be textured, in this case, by forms of moral discernment that evoke Buddhist ethics and by a framing of distress that foregrounds the scene of the problem rather than the client's emotional experience. I argue that attending to such textures of care makes it possible to deconstruct hierarchies of expertise and recognize forms of practice which appear to go against the grain of normative therapeutic frameworks as generative. This makes visible the diverse understandings of emotion, personhood, and well-being that localized forms of therapeutic practice engender within the contemporary, global psy imaginary.","PeriodicalId":51532,"journal":{"name":"Ethos","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143698972","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}

In this article, we examine how couples respond to radical ruptures in their shared everyday lives, homes, and imagined futures when one partner moves into a nursing home due to severe illness. We draw on the field of imagistic anthropology that attends to the uncertain, ambiguous, and imaginative dimensions of life to capture the often overlooked, albeit important, dimensions of peoples’ lives in situations of uncertainty, rupture, and loss. Inspired by the concept of spectral kinship, we delve into experiences of transgressing space and time, the material and the immaterial, the “real,” the dreamed of and imagined as they are anchored in a play of imagination, a book, and a dream. We call these anchors of belonging. We suggest the concept spectral relatedness to highlight both mundane and spectral dimensions of homemaking and being together. We argue that attending to imagistic qualities in fraught life situations can help bring forth nuances and complexities of how couples face severe illness and the relational and practical changes such life situations entails in the context of homemaking in institutional settings.","PeriodicalId":51532,"journal":{"name":"Ethos","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/etho.12449","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143698837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kidron","doi":"10.1111/etho.12447","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/etho.12447","url":null,"abstract":"This study presents a qualitative ethnographic exploration of professionally successful lifestyle migrants' self-perceptions of premigration etiologies of “modern distress,” and postmigration pathways of healing and outcomes in Guatemala. Reflexive accounts of perceived etiologies of distress include self-commodification, atomization, and disengagement from “true-selves” as stressors motivating relocation. Migrants depict postmigration healing practices as embedding popularized therapeutic narratives that amplify introspective self-dialog reproducing hypercapitalist and emotional capitalist “liquid-modern” unstable and disengaged selfhood. Constituting what we term a “pure relationship with the self,” lifestyle migrants describe a “modern trap” of “addictive” chronic healing, self-seeking, and unfulfillment while resultant self-deliberations continue to exhibit no less liquid and potentially adaptive life paths. Implications will be considered pertaining to self-dialogic therapeutic processes that reproduce distressed liquid selfhood and the potential of sites of self-relocation to amplify socially disengaged introspection. Yet reflexive self-dialog problematizes reductionist readings of structural subjectification, calling for further examination of the way distressed selfhood is a product of shifting social structures and zeitgeists but no less a self-crafted outcome of self-deliberation that critically evaluates emergent selves and alternative contexts of self-constitution.","PeriodicalId":51532,"journal":{"name":"Ethos","volume":"52 4","pages":"449-466"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142862188","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}

We focus on gaming and gambling related to virtual items acquired in the popular shooter game Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and our study unfolds among young adults who play in face-to-face centers called gaming lounges or zones. We consider how networks of video game players, themselves influenced by familial and societal demands, form moral economies that regulate why video game items are exchanged and how they are evaluated. Further, we use moral foundations theory to clarify ethical plurality in these settings, with tensions between moral demands shaping how and whether skins exchanges are judged to be socially productive or harmful. We show how gaming lounge owners’ personal values, some religiously informed, render emerging adults who play in these settings less at risk of excessive gambling, which is not tolerated either within close-knit gaming groups or broader society. Overall, our analysis points to the utility of bringing into dialogue moral economy and moral foundations perspectives to uncover the cultural meanings of linked gaming and gambling in this context.","PeriodicalId":51532,"journal":{"name":"Ethos","volume":"52 4","pages":"480-499"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/etho.12443","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142202320","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
