Research suggests that global psychiatric discourses did not enter the Rwandan public sphere until after the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi, at which point local iterations of trauma focused on (Tutsi) survivors of the genocide. However, in recent years Rwandans have begun to use an expanded notion of trauma to analyze individual and collective responses to not only the genocide but also other forms of historical and material violence. At the forefront of this trend are Rwandan “societal healers” who study trauma at a country-wide level. I argue that in order to overcome entrenched social divisions, societal healers deploy a “sociogenic” approach to trauma, or one that focuses on how structures of oppression produce psychic “wounds” across levels of society. Broadening their understanding of both trauma and identity, societal healers are invested in exploring how cycles of violence—physical and metaphorical—have shaped the lives of all Rwandans over time and how those cycles may end.","PeriodicalId":51532,"journal":{"name":"Ethos","volume":"53 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/etho.70021","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145719747","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}

How many would prefer to live in a more homogeneous or singular country, one occupied primarily by members of their own ethnic, racial, or religious group? In the face of contemporary changes in the composition of the population, to what extent have the White Christian citizens of the United States become fearful of demographic replacement? Alternatively posed: To what extent is ethnic, racial, and religious diversity valued by American citizens? Is it or is it not a basic feature of their ideal of what America means? Those are the questions addressed in this study. A representative sample of American citizens (n = 986) was asked to estimate the actual and the desired distribution of ethnicities, races, and religions in the United States on the national level. We find that two-thirds of our respondents want a more ethnically/racially diverse United States than the current demographics and over half of respondents want a population that is more religiously diverse than the status quo in 2020. Only a tiny percent idealizes a country that is ethnically or religiously homogeneous. The survey results suggest that the ideal of a multicultural country composed of diverse ethnic, racial, and religious groups is widely accepted. The results also suggest that the supposed fear of a national “Great Replacement” of White Christian Americans by non-White or non-Christian minority groups may have been greatly exaggerated.","PeriodicalId":51532,"journal":{"name":"Ethos","volume":"53 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/etho.70018","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145719564","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}

Working in immigration detention spaces has a cost, both for the professional's mental health and for the detainees who rely on professionals’ capacity to intervene in a system of harm and neglect. Bringing together moral injury and tactics, this article examines how professionals navigate and counter the morally injurious contexts of their work. Ethnographic interviews with detention employees, case workers, forensic psychologists, and medical evaluators revealed a range of strategies and outcomes of moral injury. While professionals used tactics like moral numbing or avoidance to protect themselves and continue providing care, the withholding or lessening of care has consequences for the detainees relying on their intervention. Yet not utilizing strategies has its own cost, as professionals experience burnout, trauma, and hauntings. Just as migrants are literally “caught” as they chase the American Dream, professionals feel morally entangled in circumstances of harm. In attempting to intervene or lessen harm, care becomes a justification for and a source of moral violence in professionals' lives. Through this analysis, I argue that a framing of tactics incorporated into moral injury better captures the diversity in how professionals navigate and respond to their moral injuries in ways that can disrupt or support the continued systemic violence in immigration detention contexts. Examining the moral dimensions to professionals’ experiences and distress allows for more informed, targeted interventions to disrupt this harm and empower professionals’ efforts to provide care and advocacy within detention spaces.","PeriodicalId":51532,"journal":{"name":"Ethos","volume":"53 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145171929","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, I argue that within any political ethos, the constitution of political subjectivity takes place at the nexus of orientation and atmosphere. In this formulation, orientation defines subjectivity's intentional directionality in terms of value and desire, while atmosphere defines the socioemotional space in which that orientation takes place in terms of power and position. Drawing on research that utilizes an ethnographic, feminist, phenomenological, and psychodynamic approach, the article argues that the concepts of orientation and atmosphere can be leveraged to get a better purchase on understanding political subjectivity. Empirically, I show this across an array of situations, including political violence, incivility, gendered inequity, psychotic affliction, natural disaster, and the development of political awareness. Conceptually, I show that examining processes of self and will, empathy and power, denial and repression at the nexus of orientation and atmosphere can advance the theorization of political subjectivity within psychological anthropology and allied fields.","PeriodicalId":51532,"journal":{"name":"Ethos","volume":"53 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/etho.70023","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145171935","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}

Cognitive and affective processes are also thus inseparable since we know together with others, always insert in asymmetrical relationships that leave a trace on our cognitive-affective tie to the world. As Argentinean anthropologists, we contend with the ongoing effects of universalizing “Global North” psychologies in the contexts of global inequalities that impact children as well as southern researchers. Given this, the aim of this article is to present an anthropology of knowledge that puts these two effects of inequalities in dialogue while addressing the affective-cognitive debates from South America in conversation with contributions of authors from the “Global North.” Building upon fieldwork in our home country that explores the religious formative experiences of Toba/Qom children and the political experiences of children who live in squatter buildings, we use ethnography and the clinical method of psychology to examine the diverse ways in which children form and participate in communities, and in so doing, appropriate and transform their experiences into knowledge.","PeriodicalId":51532,"journal":{"name":"Ethos","volume":"53 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145171989","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}

I suggest that comparison functions as a social practice with epistemological and affective connotations and that by comparing with real and imagined others, older people validate themselves as virtuous by anchoring to fluid and ever-changing social systems. Ultimately, these findings shed light on how moral selfhoods are shaped through comparison with models of the past and the present, revealing how it is in this careful and purposeful evaluation of one's own behavior and that of others that social change is negotiated and the broader ethos revised.","PeriodicalId":51532,"journal":{"name":"Ethos","volume":"53 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/etho.70005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145171926","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}
