This tendency has barely been reversed since then. This article, based on an ethnographic study in Bolivia and Peru, closely examines the sexual division of labor, gendered socialization, and gender-based violence dynamics in the birth families of domestic workers in both countries. It reveals striking similarities in the forms of exploitation and violence these women typically face, not only in their birth family but also in their employers’ households and (for those who marry), in their conjugal family—all mutually sustaining each other. Paying particular attention to sexual and gender-based violence, this article proposes a feminist critique of the family as a space of solidarity and protection. It then places these phenomena in a broader context, shaped not only by patriarchal norms but also by racism and class-based oppression. Viewed through this intersectional lens, paid domestic work can be theorized as a regime of gendered and racialized “appropriated labor.”","PeriodicalId":73022,"journal":{"name":"Feminist anthropology","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/fea2.70006","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144179151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sociocultural constructs of ideologies about gendered performances are deeply ingrained in men and women both in the industry and the society they live in; thus, the individual agents as well as the structures are accomplices in maintaining gendered tropes of the pilot and the flight attendant. Focusing the fieldwork on Austria as a non-Anglosphere Western society where aviation does not have a strong history or presence helps to contextualize gender disparity as a phenomenon intrinsic to the global industry. Through in-depth, semi-structured interviews and ethnographic explorations with participants from various sectors of Austrian aviation, added to my own lived experiences as a female pilot, my aim is to open aviation's Black Box to reveal the day-to-day behaviors that create, support, and sustain gender-based inequalities globally beyond the Anglosphere. I emphasize the powerful beliefs about appropriate gendered performances that are both pervasive in society and deeply embedded within the division between operational and customer service occupations, impacting career progression and communicative norms in ways that help reproduce inequalities.","PeriodicalId":73022,"journal":{"name":"Feminist anthropology","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/fea2.70009","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144178988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We draw on our own research arcs to show how Kempadoo's work enabled generations of ethnographic and ethnographically informed research on sexual commerce that centered questions of labor and critiques of policing and impoverishment. Kempadoo's work offered both an exemplar and episteme for research on sex work that mobilized anti-teleological critiques of the “Third World Other,” while showing that a structural analysis of class and capital could critique the harms of the anti-trafficking framework. Kempadoo's influence is apparent in work that uses ethnography to center the lens of labor in arguing against reductive accounts of transacted sexual services. We show that Kempadoo's work is more relevant than ever, considering state-sponsored violence against migrants and the need for re/producing ethnographically situated accounts of the ways in which sexual commerce operates in navigating precarity.","PeriodicalId":73022,"journal":{"name":"Feminist anthropology","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/fea2.70003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144179318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Anchored in a feminist philosophical framework of care, the study addresses two pivotal questions. First, it explores how the narratives of the mothers interviewed challenge normative articulations of care. Second, it illustrates that care relations involving autism are characterized by considerable interdependence. Within the realm of autism advocacy in India, which is characterized by its inherent diversity, this article emphasizes that questions of care, (in)dependence, and kinship are shaped more by individuals’ social locations than by Western theorizations of inclusion and care. This article contributes to the ongoing discourse on disability, family, and care, providing rich insights into the lived experiences of mothers of autistic adults in the specific context of the COVID-19 pandemic in India. The findings offer a broader understanding of the complexities inherent in care relations and advocate for more inclusive and culturally sensitive approaches to support families of individuals with autism in urban India.","PeriodicalId":73022,"journal":{"name":"Feminist anthropology","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/fea2.70005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144179308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The drug's use in Germany has (re)surfaced ambivalent emotions: hopes for an HIV/AIDS-free future and sexual liberation rub against enduring worries and moralizations of promiscuity. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in Berlin's sexual cultures and prevention landscape, this article engages the affective economy that has emerged concerning PrEP and the hopes, worries, and accusations the drug has incited. To illustrate how the conflicting affects surrounding PrEP use haunt this economy, the article builds from the German notion of Sorglosigkeit/carelessness—a term intentionally straddling the ambivalence between being careless and carefree. Sustained by healthcare infrastructures and PrEP users’ practices of self-care, carelessness is not taken to be antithetical to, but operating on the affective terrain of, Sorge (worry, anxiety, concern, care). Ethnographically grounding carelessness in intergenerational hauntings of HIV/AIDS, the article examines gestures as they situate embodied emotions and personal experiences in the course of collective history. Three specific gestures—a sigh, finger-pointing, and palpation—mediate between biographies, bodies, and publics, and trace how carelessness circulates around PrEP.","PeriodicalId":73022,"journal":{"name":"Feminist anthropology","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/fea2.70001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144179039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Beutin","doi":"10.1002/fea2.70004","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/fea2.70004","url":null,"abstract":"This article revisits Kamala Kempadoo's publications on sex work in the Caribbean in the late 1990s and early 2000s. This period marks both the era before the framework of anti-trafficking consumed the field of sex work studies and the era when Black feminist ethnographic research on how race, class, and structural violence affected women's lives globally was making an impact across disciplines. By focusing on three key concepts (work, race and gender, and slavery), I show how Kempadoo recontextualized terms used by anti-prostitution feminists within the history of colonialism and the political economy of 1990s multilateral trade. In so doing, she offered feminist sociologists and anthropologists new possibilities for understanding sexual labor and sexual freedom. The paper then returns to Kempadoo's engagement with the history of enslaved Black women in Caribbean brothels to offer an alternative reading of the relationships between slavery and sex work that now dominate the public relations campaigns of anti-trafficking organizations. Taken together, Kempadoo's multidisciplinary contributions help feminist anthropology see how important global sex worker activism is to understanding race, gender, and work. This paper further demonstrates how combining critical engagement with feminist ethnographies with historical memory studies can shed new light on contemporary social issues.","PeriodicalId":73022,"journal":{"name":"Feminist anthropology","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/fea2.70004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144179399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Substance use disorders (SUD) are chronic, relapsing conditions, and best practice recommendations include continuous harm reduction skills training for healthcare professionals; however, punitive policies, such as Alabama's Child Endangerment Law (ACEL), diminish the availability, accessibility, and utilization of healthcare for this population. The ACEL also negatively impacts the capacity of perinatal healthcare professionals in Alabama to adequately serve and advocate for pregnant people living with a SUD. As applied medical anthropologists, we challenged the notion of “advocacy” as solely being the responsibility of the healthcare professional or the patient and reimagined it as a collective process that can challenge perceptions of moral responsibility and personhood for pregnant and postpartum people who are substance involved. With a focus on knowledge translation and multi-stakeholder advocacy, we created two-versions of the Perinatal Self-Advocacy Toolkits (PSATs) that are framed using a healing-centered approach. We discuss how the PSATs are an essential component of improving the quality of care for pregnant patients with SUDs and facilitating systems change in Alabama.","PeriodicalId":73022,"journal":{"name":"Feminist anthropology","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/fea2.70002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144179398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
