Participatory action research (PAR) employs co-researchers to further epistemic justice for and empowerment of subaltern people. This methodological reflection discusses how user-led PAR with disabled people challenges ableism – hegemonic notions about normate bodyminds – in knowledge production. I draw on my experiences as a disabled anthropologist and as a facilitator of Zeg het ons! PAR projects – the Dutch version of Ask me!, Zeg het ons! seeks scientific recognition and counters ableism by empowering co-researchers to deploy their experiential disability expertise in quality-of-life research. PAR may contribute to de-ableization while partly reproducing epistemic hierarchies. PAR requires experiential and theoretical knowledge on how to deploy positionalities, institutional and interactional arrangements to be successful. More attention for experiential and practical knowledge in academic outlets could help.

Glauben, religiös-moralische Imperative und religiöse Handlungsintuitionen können Glaubenden Distanzierungen und Neubewertungen von Gefühlen und Impulsen eröffnen und nahelegen. Religiöse Normen und Prinzipien dienen dann unter Umständen zugleich als Leitlinien und als Mittel, um Gefühle einzuschätzen, umzudeuten, zu verändern oder zu dämpfen. Indem ich Begriffe, Einordnungen und Modifikationen von «protektiver» und «destruktiver» Eifersucht unter polygyn lebenden deutschschweizer Salafis darlege, werde ich im Folgenden skizzieren, wie solche religiös-moralischen Normen das intrapersonelle und das nahbeziehungsbezogene Emotionsmanagement beeinflussen können. Ich begreife das salafitische Angebot an Strategien zur Affektevaluation als einen ebenso unterschätzten wie wichtigen Attraktionsfaktor, der Salafis an ihrem Glauben anzieht und in ihm verwurzelt. Emotionsregulationsstrategien sind eine wichtige Facette jener vielfältigen Mittelbarkeiten und Nähe-Distanz-Auslotungen, die salafitische Religiositäten wesentlich ausmachen.

Ce dossier thématique propose de réfléchir aux conditions de production du savoir à partir d’une lecture du monde social qui tente de rendre compte de l’imbrication des rapports de domination. Il s’inscrit ainsi dans le prolongement des recherches qui explicitent la dimension située des savoirs et de leur production et rassemble des travaux qui mettent en lumière, en prenant en compte de manière réflexive le lieu d’énonciation, comment la recherche est façonnée par les relations de pouvoir – y compris dans une perspective intersectionnelle qui considère, entre autres, les imbrications des systèmes de sexe, de classe, de race, de validisme, d’âge – et comment les individus questionnent, acceptent et / ou subvertissent les relations de pouvoir.

In Oceania, as elsewhere, power relations in knowledge production have been highly debated for many decades. Oceanian anthropologists have developed challenging proposals to decolonise anthropology and academia in Oceania at large. Nevertheless, insights from this region do not figure prominently in recent theoretical discussions about coloniality and decolonisation “about the subaltern” (Grosfoguel 2007, 211). By focusing on the long-lasting Oceanian discourse in a Swiss peer-reviewed journal, this article aims to contribute to the decolonisation of Swiss academia by proposing an anthropology “with and from a subaltern perspective” (Grosfoguel 2007, 211). Drawing on recent online research, and experiences with teaching the anthropology of Oceania, this article familiarises a European readership with Indigenous anthropologists from Oceania, and their struggles with our discipline. It looks at Indigenous scholars’ reflections about and propositions for different ways of knowledge production and Indigenous research methods. The article concludes with suggestions to further the decolonisation process within (Swiss) academia.

La recherche-action-participative Capdroits vise à réduire les inégalités de pouvoir inhérentes aux injustices épistémiques en proposant des modalités de recherche symétrisant les savoirs des personnes concernées par des situations de handicap, de maladie ou de dépendances, des acteur·e·s de la relation d’aide et de soin (proches ou professionnel·le·s), et des professionnel·le·s de la recherche en sciences sociales et juridiques. Elle repose sur des principes de réciprocité, d’empowerment, et d’identification de gains. Nous nous centrons dans cet article sur l’une des étapes centrales des pratiques de recherche, à savoir celles de leurs publications et des enjeux d’auteurisation qui soulèvent des questions de reconnaissance scientifique et politique. Nos analyses reposent sur une forme d’auto-ethnographie collective.

Conducting fieldwork as a White woman researcher from the Global North on women’s practices of religious knowing in Benin, my work is based on multiple entwined positionalities that require critical reflection. The political categories of race, gender, age, religion, and family status at times linked, at times distanced me from my interlocutors in Benin as well as my colleagues at University of Bayreuth. This article explores the multiple ways parenting has informed my work in Benin and its institutional integration in a German Anthropology department. Using difference as a lens, I enquire how parenting, intersecting with gender, sexuality, and family normativity, has been used to undo difference during fieldwork, while exacerbating structural inequalities with reference to academic funding structures and research organization.

The paper rekindles a three-decade-old debate in the annals of Indian anthropology / sociology which became dormant after no significant headway was made. The debate which goes by the name of “crisis in sociology” in India provides the backdrop against which the paper makes sense of current regimes of knowledge production that a doctoral candidate in India must navigate. By doing so, the paper reflects on the limitations of epistemological critiques wherein an epistemic critique stops at the corridors of an academic workplace. The paper argues that doctoral candidates in India today are cognitive workers engaged in exploitative relations of knowledge production. However, these exploitative relations are obfuscated by the postcolonial epistemological critiques that indulge in foregrounding the hegemony of the North / West. The paper proposes an infrastructural critique of knowledge that does not respond with despair to perceived transformations and crises.
