Online ethnography is often criticized for being less immersive than traditional ethnography. However, this article argues that the digital medium offers a distinctive way to connect researchers with their interlocutors. Online ethnography can help balance being intimate while respecting research participants by maintaining appropriate distance in anthropological fieldwork. The article presents a case study of bathrooms during the Covid-19 pandemic. It shows that online ethnography, which only allows access to what is seen and heard on the screen, creates a more limited, transient, flexible and ambiguous relationship with the research participants. This unique form of relatedness makes them more open to sharing their stories, images and videos about their bodily practices in bathrooms. The article emphasizes the potential of digital research methods to reveal the details of embodied practices. It invites anthropologists to explore the different ways of relating to digital and physical spaces in research.

网络民族志经常被批评为不如传统民族志具有沉浸感。然而,本文认为,数字媒体提供了一种独特的方式来将研究人员与对话者联系起来。在线民族志可以通过在人类学田野调查中保持适当的距离,帮助平衡亲密和尊重研究参与者。本文介绍了新冠肺炎大流行期间浴室的案例研究。它表明,在线民族志只允许访问屏幕上的所见所闻,它与研究参与者建立了一种更加有限、短暂、灵活和模糊的关系。这种独特的关系形式使他们更愿意分享他们在浴室里的身体实践的故事、图像和视频。文章强调了数字研究方法揭示具体实践细节的潜力。它邀请人类学家在研究中探索与数字和物理空间相关的不同方式。

Re-tribalization in the 21st century, part 1 21世纪的重新部落化,第1部分

This exploratory study presents ‘re-tribalization’ as a framework for comprehending contemporary global patterns and phenomena. It posits a link between the erosion of modernity's traits and a resurgence of tribal behaviour – the more elements that we associate with modernity diminish, the more we see the emergence of group formations akin to anthropological notions of tribes. This trend manifests not only in societies where tribal and lineage affiliations remain central to identity but also – perhaps more notably, considering modernity's promises – in developed nations, including global powerhouses like the USA, India and China. ‘Re-tribalization’ signifies a modern-day recourse to a so-called tribal past, fortifying intra-group cohesion and creating a distinction from other groups, thus delineating ‘us’ and ‘them’. This process highlights the drawing of boundaries between communities, positing that such delineations were more apparent in the past and need to be re-established to navigate today's challenges and crises. The study traces the historical lineage of re-tribalization appeals and their ties to nationalism, citing instances from Johann Gottfried Herder's works. This argument leverages the authors’ nearly two decades of ethnographic fieldwork, a collection of four studies and initial insights from their soon-to-be-published book.

这项探索性研究将“重新部落化”作为理解当代全球模式和现象的框架。它假设了现代性特征的侵蚀与部落行为的复兴之间的联系——我们与现代性联系在一起的元素减少得越多,我们就越能看到类似于人类学部落观念的群体形成的出现。这一趋势不仅体现在部落和世系关系仍然是身份认同核心的社会中,而且——也许更值得注意的是,考虑到现代性的承诺——也体现在发达国家,包括美国、印度和中国等全球强国。”重新部落化”意味着现代人求助于所谓的部落过去,加强了群体内部的凝聚力,并与其他群体形成了区别,从而划分了“我们”和“他们”。这一过程强调了社区之间的界限划分,认为这种划分在过去更为明显,需要重新建立,以应对当今的挑战和危机。该研究引用了约翰·戈特弗里德·赫尔德作品中的例子,追溯了重新部落化诉求的历史谱系及其与民族主义的联系。这一论点利用了作者近20年的民族志田野调查,包括四项研究和他们即将出版的书中的初步见解。

Sea level rise is dramatically altering the daily lives of fisherfolk in the Ottummal coastal region of Malabar, India. This article draws on ethnographic fieldwork to explore the erosion of subaerial beaches, which have traditionally served as vital social and cultural touchstones for the community. It examines the profound impact of this erosion on the community's leisure activities, particularly their beloved pastime of football. It also analyses the local government's proposed strategy of managed retreat, which involves relocating vulnerable communities away from threatened areas. It considers its limitations in light of the fisherfolk's deep emotional and cultural connections with their lands and non-material culture. The article posits that while climatologists and satellites can give a bird's eye view, anthropologists and ethnographers can give a worm's eye view of climate change.

海平面上升正在极大地改变印度马拉巴尔Ottummal沿海地区渔民的日常生活。本文利用人种学实地调查来探索陆上海滩的侵蚀,这些海滩传统上是社区重要的社会和文化试金石。它考察了这种侵蚀对社区休闲活动的深刻影响,尤其是他们喜爱的足球消遣。它还分析了地方政府提出的有管理的撤退战略,包括将弱势社区从受威胁地区迁移出去。鉴于渔民与他们的土地和非物质文化之间深厚的情感和文化联系,它考虑了其局限性。这篇文章认为,虽然气候学家和卫星可以提供鸟瞰图,但人类学家和民族志学家可以提供气候变化的鸟瞰图。

‘Hustlers vs dynasties’: Confronting patrimonial capitalism in Kenya's 2022 elections “骗子与王朝”:在肯尼亚2022年选举中对抗世袭资本主义
IF 1.3 Q2 ANTHROPOLOGY Pub Date : 2023-10-01 DOI: 10.1111/1467-8322.12836
Peter Lockwood

During Kenya's 2022 presidential race, William Samoei Ruto, the country's ex-Deputy President, successfully leveraged his ‘Hustler Nation’ campaign to clinch victory. This campaign played on the struggles of the informal economy labourers, pledging a ‘hustler’ government dedicated to their cause. However, Ruto's campaign also utilized rhetoric against the deeply rooted ‘dynasties’ of Kenya's patrimonial capitalism, exploiting widespread dissatisfaction with the political and economic dominance of the Kenyatta family, including the incumbent President Uhuru Kenyatta. Throughout the campaign, voters debated the acceptable extent of wealth held by the country's affluent families and the potential of such wealth to manipulate democratic politics. This concise article unpacks the moral undertones of Kenyan disillusionment with Kenyatta supremacy, calling for reinvigorated anthropological scrutiny of the confrontations against modern patrimonial capital and the emerging resistances framed in the discourse of economic justice.

在肯尼亚2022年总统竞选期间,该国前副总统William Samoei Ruto成功地利用他的“骗子国家”运动赢得了胜利。这场运动利用了非正规经济劳动者的斗争,承诺建立一个致力于他们事业的“骗子”政府。然而,鲁托的竞选团队也利用对肯雅塔家族(包括现任总统乌胡鲁·肯雅塔)政治和经济主导地位的广泛不满,对根深蒂固的肯尼亚世袭资本主义“王朝”进行了抨击。在整个竞选过程中,选民们就该国富裕家庭所拥有的财富的可接受程度以及这些财富操纵民主政治的潜力进行了辩论。这篇简洁的文章揭示了肯尼亚人对肯雅塔至上主义幻灭的道德含义,呼吁重新审视人类学对现代世袭资本的对抗以及经济正义话语中新兴的阻力。

封面和封底说明,第39卷第5IBN KHALDUN and RE-TRIBALIZATION伊本·哈尔顿(1332-1406)的半身像,位于阿尔及利亚贝贾的卡斯巴入口处。当你凝视这位首次深入研究部落和文明循环动力学的学者时,你不仅仅是在看历史——你在看一面反映我们现代世界的镜子。Khaldun对部落凝聚力(asabiyyah)及其对社会兴衰的影响的开创性见解并不是过去的遗迹;它们是在当今全球格局中回响的预言性回声。在一个日益相互联系但矛盾地支离破碎的世界里,“部落主义”的概念正在出人意料地卷土重来。部落主义不再局限于人类学教科书或偏远社区,它在我们的政治对话、社会关系甚至国际关系中重新出现。但这不是你祖父的部落主义;它是“重新部落化”,是对古代附属关系和忠诚的现代重新想象,塑造了国家,改写了全球格局。在本期文章中,Ahmed等人的一篇由两部分组成的文章《21世纪的重新部落化》的第一部分揭开了这一复杂现象的层层面纱。它挑战了将“部落主义”与“文明”对立起来的传统智慧,反而揭示了一种影响从国家治理到全球化的动态相互作用。无论是英国脱欧公投、各国民族主义的兴起,还是中东持久的冲突,部落主义的指纹——及其现代化身——重新三元化——都显而易见地存在。当我们在一个既是“地球村”又是不断演变的部落身份拼凑的复杂世界中导航时,重新部落化的概念可以作为一个分析视角。部落关系的复兴是对全球化世界的挑战和机遇的复杂适应。在现代地缘政治和数字通信的背景下,部落主义的古老准则正在被重新解释。尽管新旧事物似乎处于紧张状态,但它们是需要仔细审查的复杂动态的一部分。古代和现代共存于一个充满冲突、合作时机成熟的世界。足球与气候变化在印度马拉巴尔沿海村庄奥图马尔的Ariyallur海滩日渐减少的沙滩上,孩子们热情地踢着足球,品味着留给他们珍视的运动的日益缩小的空间。他们的笑声和呼喊声在涨潮和海岸侵蚀的背景下回荡,令人心酸地想起了他们游乐场的无常。在本期中,穆罕默德·哈尼法深入探讨了这个沿海社区的核心,探讨海平面的无情上升如何不仅仅是地理变化,而是一种生活方式的转变。他揭示了陆上海滩的侵蚀——曾经是社区社会和文化结构的命脉——及其对休闲活动的破坏性影响,尤其是根深蒂固的足球消遣。Haneefa还仔细审查了当地政府的“有管理的撤退”战略,这是一项善意但复杂的提议,涉及将这些弱势社区从濒危的沿海家园中迁移出去。虽然该计划可能会暂时缓解海水的侵蚀,但它没有考虑到渔民与他们的土地和传统之间深厚的情感和文化联系。这篇文章是我们从头开始看待气候变化的一个镜头。虽然卫星图像和气候数据可以鸟瞰地球不断变化的面貌,但正是通过哈尼法等人类学家和民族志学家的鸟瞰图,我们才真正了解了人类的代价。在这里,气候变化不仅仅是一个统计数字或未来预测;这是一个活生生的现实,正在重塑社区,改变身份,挑战文化遗产的本质。

Web3 and the entrepreneurial imaginary of the 2022 Lisbon Web Summit Web3与2022里斯本网络峰会的创业想象
IF 1.3 Q2 ANTHROPOLOGY Pub Date : 2023-07-31 DOI: 10.1111/1467-8322.12830
Sandra Faustino

This article discusses the entrepreneurial imaginary and the role of Web3 in the narratives of industry actors at the 2022 Lisbon Web Summit. This imaginary does not address the qualitative aspects of current crises but rather their potential for regenerating capital flows in the spirit of never letting a good crisis go to waste. The article argues that the wealth-tech nexus is symptomatic of the broader process of financialization of the economy and, in particular, of the growing role of private investment in the form of Venture Capital (VC), particularly illustrated by ‘unicorns’. While capital allocation in the digital economy, both from private and public sources, currently exceeds its realization, this entrepreneurial imaginary builds expectations towards Web3 and effectively drives the valuation process and investors’ returns, regardless of its future implementation.

本文在2022年里斯本网络峰会上讨论了企业家的想象和Web3在行业参与者的叙述中的作用。这一设想并没有解决当前危机的质量问题,而是着眼于它们在永不浪费好危机的精神下再生资本流动的潜力。本文认为,财富与科技的联系是经济金融化更广泛进程的征兆,特别是风险投资(VC)形式的私人投资日益重要的作用,“独角兽”公司尤其体现了这一点。虽然目前数字经济中来自私人和公共资源的资本配置超过了它的实现,但这种企业家的想象建立了对Web3的期望,并有效地推动了估值过程和投资者的回报,无论其未来的实施如何。

Reimagining blockchain in a pluriversal world: Digital land governance in the Global South and the metaverse 在多元世界中重新构想区块链:全球南方和虚拟世界的数字土地治理
IF 1.3 Q2 ANTHROPOLOGY Pub Date : 2023-07-31 DOI: 10.1111/1467-8322.12828
Daivi Rodima-Taylor, Malcolm Campbell-Verduyn

Blockchain technologies are increasingly live-tested in experiments aimed at improving governance in a growing range of activities. A key question often lost amongst these efforts is whether such projects redistribute wealth and power, and, if so, in which ways. Examining the case of blockchain-based land governance, this contribution explores the tensions between ambitious visions and their actual scales of implementation around the redistributional promises of distributed ledger technologies.

区块链技术在旨在改善越来越多活动的治理的实验中得到了越来越多的现场测试。在这些努力中,一个经常被忽略的关键问题是,这些项目是否会重新分配财富和权力,如果会,又会以何种方式重新分配。通过研究基于区块链的土地治理案例,这篇文章探讨了围绕分布式账本技术再分配承诺的雄心勃勃的愿景与其实际实施规模之间的紧张关系。将“想象”和“基础设施”的概念结合在一起,我们分析了全球南方和虚拟世界中出现的土地治理区块链化。我们认为,想象中的“放大”再分配承诺与倾向于以“缩小”形式实现的再分配承诺之间存在反差,我们主张对多元视角进行更持续的关注,以突出当地的关注和不同的声音。

Some pig! Exchanging NFTs for the perspective of regeneration 一些猪!从再生的角度交换nft
IF 1.3 Q2 ANTHROPOLOGY Pub Date : 2023-07-31 DOI: 10.1111/1467-8322.12826

There are a thousand more silly ideas for every utopian blockchain project to heal the planet, foster financial justice, transform cultural production or democratize practically anything and everything. Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are one of them. The funny thing is that the more you pick at them, the more they harmonize with certain longstanding anthropological arguments. Non-fungibility lurks in the anthropological imagination of non-capitalist economies. This article uses the common law of fungibility to explore the elevation of the very idea of non-fungibility presumed in many NFTs. This idea might have more in common with saints’ incorruptible flesh or the Crown Jewels than the standard fictions of capitalist finance. They cut social ties by insisting on their singularity and immutability. In doing so, they crowd out other blockchain conversations about regeneration and ways to reckon the debts we owe any number of possible futures.

每个乌托邦式的区块链项目都有一千个愚蠢的想法来治愈地球,促进金融正义,改变文化生产或使几乎所有事物民主化。不可替代令牌(nft)就是其中之一。有趣的是,你越是挑剔它们,它们就越符合某些长期存在的人类学观点。非可替代性潜藏在非资本主义经济的人类学想象中。本文使用可互换性的共同法则来探索许多nft中假定的不可互换性概念的提升。比起资本主义金融的标准虚构,这种想法可能更类似于圣徒不朽坏的肉体或皇冠上的珠宝。他们通过坚持自己的独特性和不变性来切断社会联系。在这样做的过程中,他们排挤了其他关于再生的区块链对话,以及如何计算我们欠任何可能的未来的债务。
