Liberal arts education is highly commodified, yet it also boasts to cultivate critical thinkers and progressive changemakers. What exactly is the kind of “critical mindedness” that liberal arts institutions produce? Drawing from Bourdieuan concepts and recent anthropological work on elite subject formation, I explain how undergraduate students in an elite, predominantly White institution refashion the notion of “critique” as part of their elite habitus. I argue that neoliberal educational institutions enable the new elites to speak about (and advocate for) structural change without ever having to scrutinize their own elite subject position. This depoliticized notion of “doing critique” promises little progressive social transformation and reinforces the hegemonic power of neoliberalism from the inside out. I conclude by highlighting the situatedness of “critique” and its pedagogical potential and limitations.
文科教育是高度商品化的,但它也以培养批判性思想家和进步的变革者而自豪。文科院校究竟产生了什么样的“批判性思维”?根据布迪厄的概念和最近关于精英学科形成的人类学工作,我解释了在一个以白人为主的精英机构中,本科生如何将“批判”的概念重新塑造为他们精英习惯的一部分。我认为,新自由主义教育机构使新精英能够谈论(并倡导)结构变革,而不必仔细审查他们自己的精英学科立场。这种“做批判”的非政治化概念几乎没有带来进步的社会变革,并从内到外强化了新自由主义的霸权。最后,我强调了“批判”的情境性及其教学潜力和局限性。

This article addresses the challenges inherent to conducting ethnography in all-encompassing institutions and presents strategies for equity-oriented research in such restrictive settings. All-encompassing institutions are organizations that have no separation between home, work, and play, with forms of surveillance, power imbalances, and control that create logistical and ethical challenges for ethnographers. Building on feminist orientations to qualitative inquiry, the author shares vignettes from her research in a military institution to introduce four strategies for ethnography in these contexts. The strategies are: (a) adopting a participant-centered approach; (b) attending to power dynamics; (c) negotiating consent and confidentiality; and (d) engaging participants in research presentation. These strategies are applicable to ethnographers across contexts looking to meaningfully engage interlocutors in research generation and presentation.
本文解决了在无所不有的机构中进行民族志所固有的挑战,并提出了在这种限制性环境中进行以公平为导向的研究的策略。无所不包的机构是指家庭、工作和娱乐不分的组织,其中存在各种形式的监视、权力失衡和控制,这给民族志学家带来了后勤和道德上的挑战。在定性研究的女权主义取向的基础上,作者分享了她在军事机构研究中的小插曲,介绍了在这些背景下民族志的四种策略。这些战略是:(a)采取以参与者为中心的办法;(b)注意权力动态;(c)协商同意和保密;(d)让参与者参与研究报告。这些策略适用于不同背景的民族志学家,他们希望有意义地让对话者参与研究生成和展示。

On board the quarantine-ship as “floating hotspot”: Creeping externalization practices in the Mediterranean Sea 作为“浮动热点”的检疫船上:地中海缓慢的外部化做法

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, migration was framed in Italy as ‘the emergency within the emergency’, leading the Italian Government to declare that its ports were not ‘‘safe places’ for people rescued from boats flying a foreign flag to disembark.’ As a result, under this guise of health and safety, in Italy migrants are now held in cruise ships repurposed as quarantine-ships for their sanitary isolation. We take this space as our analytic lens and draw on the experiences of the Elena Giacomelli whilst working as a caseworker for a humanitarian organization on board. In our analysis of the interactions of those working on board and the social relations produced therein, we unravel how these ships function as a form of Goffman’s totalitarian institution, where bio-political techniques are adopted that act on the body and mind of all on board, limiting access to asylum and functioning as a form of externalisation.
在2019冠状病毒病大流行之后,移民在意大利被定义为“紧急情况中的紧急情况”,导致意大利政府宣布,对于从悬挂外国国旗的船只上获救的人来说,其港口不是“安全的地方”。因此,在健康和安全的幌子下,在意大利,移民现在被关押在被改造成检疫船的游轮上,对他们进行卫生隔离。我们把这个空间作为我们的分析镜头,并借鉴了Elena Giacomelli在船上作为人道主义组织的个案工作者的经历。在我们对船上工作人员的互动和其中产生的社会关系的分析中,我们揭示了这些船是如何作为戈夫曼的极权主义机构的一种形式发挥作用的,在那里,生物政治技术被采用,对船上所有人的身心起作用,限制了获得庇护的机会,并作为一种外化形式发挥作用。

Playing ethnographically living well together: Collaborative ethnography as speculative experiment 玩民族志,一起生活得很好:作为投机实验的合作民族志

How can we live well together? The question is critical for cities, where “wicked problems” like failing infrastructure, natural and industrial disaster, and epidemic disease pose threats to diverse forms of life. Because such problems are by definition world-shattering, it is notoriously difficult for city-dwellers to agree on how to think about them, much less overcome them. This essay sketches a collaborative ethnographic approach for co-conceptualizing wicked problems. Proyecto Buen Vivir (The Living Well Project) features a series of multisector experimental workshops conducted over four years in Ciudad Sandino, Nicaragua. This workshop model draws on collaborative research design and active learning strategies from both Nicaraguan and North American pedagogical traditions. Collaborative methods have historically identified and addressed the discrete problems. Given that common understanding can be rather more elusive when grappling with wicked problems, this essay argues for collaborative methods oriented to speculation and play might also be more generative.
我们怎样才能更好地生活在一起?这个问题对城市来说至关重要,因为在城市里,基础设施失灵、自然和工业灾害以及流行病等“邪恶问题”对各种形式的生命构成了威胁。因为这些问题从定义上来说是震惊世界的,众所周知,城市居民很难就如何看待这些问题达成一致,更不用说克服它们了。这篇文章概述了一种共同概念化邪恶问题的合作民族志方法。proyeto Buen Vivir(生活井项目)的特点是在尼加拉瓜桑地诺市进行了四年多的一系列多部门实验讲习班。这个工作坊模式借鉴了尼加拉瓜和北美教学传统的合作研究设计和主动学习策略。协作方法在历史上已经确定并解决了离散问题。考虑到在解决棘手问题时,共识可能更加难以捉摸,本文认为,以推测和游戏为导向的合作方法也可能更具生动性。

Fair Trade in an unfair market: economic competitiveness and workers’ rights in Costa Rica’s banana industry 不公平市场中的公平贸易:哥斯达黎加香蕉产业的经济竞争力和工人权利

The Fair Trade movement aims to provide producers and workers at the tail end of the value chain with secure working conditions and just incomes. However, the certification standards generated by these goals are often incompatible with the regional production systems. By comparing two Costa Rican banana farms––one Fair Trade, one conventional-my research reveals that Fair Trade regulations fail to account for the complexities of the structural issues that create and maintain precarity. This article shows that despite the movement’s best intentions it is unsuccessful in controlling the application of its values as it is disconnected from the communities on the ground. Fair Trade’s ideals become tainted locally because of pre-existing inequalities that shape social relations. I therefore specify that Fair Trade would benefit from integrating requirements specific to regional and national production processes––termed here “industry specific” standards.
公平贸易运动旨在为价值链末端的生产者和工人提供安全的工作条件和公平的收入。然而,这些目标产生的认证标准往往与区域生产体系不兼容。通过比较哥斯达黎加的两个香蕉农场——一个是公平贸易,一个是传统的——我的研究表明,公平贸易法规没有考虑到造成和保持不稳定的结构性问题的复杂性。这篇文章表明,尽管该运动的初衷是好的,但由于与当地社区脱节,它在控制其价值观的应用方面并不成功。公平贸易的理想在当地受到了影响,因为之前存在的不平等影响了社会关系。因此,我明确指出,公平贸易将受益于整合区域和国家生产流程的特定要求——这里称为“行业特定”标准。

Risky business? Parenting children of deployed Danish soldiers 高风险业务?养育被派遣的丹麦士兵的孩子

This article focuses on children’s reactions to military deployment from the perspective of their parents. Based on ethnographic fieldwork among Danish soldiers, their female partners and young children over the course of military deployment, the article illustrates how parents’ attempts to access whether their children will suffer from the long-term absence of their father influence parenting practices and experiences of military deployment. Inspired by anthropological perspectives on parenthood, the article argues that the pressure on parents to be ‘involved’ in the upbringing and care of their children is magnified in the Danish case of soldiers and their partners because of cultural understandings of the military as well as ideals of gender equality and sameness. With the purpose of preventing future harm on their children, the article further argues, soldiers and their partners mobilise strategies to limit the uncertainty experienced in relation to deployment. Such strategies include preparing children for deployment, routinising everyday activities and making the absence of their father comprehensible.
本文从父母的角度关注儿童对军事部署的反应。基于丹麦士兵、他们的女性伴侣和年幼的孩子在军事部署过程中的民族志实地调查,文章阐述了父母试图了解他们的孩子是否会因父亲的长期缺席而遭受痛苦,这如何影响父母的做法和军事部署经历。受人类学关于为人父母的观点的启发,这篇文章认为,在丹麦士兵及其伴侣的案例中,由于对军队的文化理解以及性别平等和相同的理想,父母“参与”抚养和照顾孩子的压力被放大了。文章进一步指出,为了防止未来对其子女造成伤害,士兵和他们的伙伴动员策略来限制部署方面的不确定性。这些策略包括为孩子们的部署做好准备,安排日常活动,让他们理解父亲的缺席。

‘Bed-space’ housing in Dubai: African migrants, ambivalence towards authorities and gender differences 迪拜的“床位”住房:非洲移民、对当局的矛盾心理和性别差异

In the literature on migration to the states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), authors generally mention that labour migrants, predominantly from South and Southeast Asia, live in overcrowded, low-class accommodation, sharing rooms and ‘doing bed-space’, without giving a clear picture of what this practice entails. This paper is an ethnographic account of what it actually means to live in ‘bed-space’ accommodation. It explores how West African migrants cope with the difficulties of this type of housing. The paper is based on 6 weeks of fieldwork in Dubai and draws on Achille Mbembe’s ‘Provisional Notes on the Postcolony’. The analysis reveals that African migrants undermine and modify the established practices of exclusion that relegate them to urban slums through strategic responses to challenges in their everyday lives and that their experiences and responses vary in relation to gender.
在关于移民到海湾合作委员会(GCC)国家的文献中,作者通常提到,主要来自南亚和东南亚的劳工移民生活在拥挤、低阶级的住所、共享房间和“占用床位”,但没有明确说明这种做法的含义。这篇论文是对居住在“床空间”住所的实际意义的民族志描述。它探讨了西非移民如何应对这种住房的困难。这篇论文是基于在迪拜为期6周的实地调查,并借鉴了Achille Mbembe的《后殖民临时笔记》。分析表明,非洲移民通过对日常生活中的挑战采取战略应对措施,破坏和改变了将他们降级到城市贫民窟的既定排斥做法,他们的经历和应对措施因性别而异。

Towards a politics of collaborative worldmaking: ethics, epistemologies and mutual positionalities in conflict research 走向合作创造世界的政治:冲突研究中的伦理学、认识论和相互立场

Scholarly engagement with ethics, epistemologies and positionalities dilemmas in conflict research is marked by a disconnect between self-referential debates in the Ivory Tower and the very places research takes place. If there is reflection on foreign researchers, research brokers or research participants, accounts of genuinely collaborative work are rare. Drawing from a decade of collaborative research in eastern Congo, our essay targets this gap by critically discussing challenges we faced and lessons we learned with regards to our mutual positionalities. In so doing, we join debates calling for situated reflection on ethnography in and of conflict zones. Based on our research experience, we contend that a fully joint approach – including planning, execution, analysis and writing – can be an avenue toward decolonizing our ethics and epistemologies. Moreover, we argue for a pluriversal ethics that accounts for context and positionalities of the involved researchers and allows for collaborative worldmaking.
学术界对冲突研究中的伦理、认识论和立场困境的参与,标志着象牙塔中的自我参照辩论与研究所在地之间的脱节。如果对外国研究人员、研究经纪人或研究参与者进行反思,那么真正合作的报道就很少了。根据在刚果东部进行的十年合作研究,我们的文章针对这一差距,批判性地讨论了我们在相互立场方面面临的挑战和吸取的教训。在这样做的过程中,我们加入了呼吁对冲突地区和冲突地区的民族志进行实地反思的辩论。根据我们的研究经验,我们认为,一种完全联合的方法——包括计划、执行、分析和写作——可以成为我们道德和认识论非殖民化的途径。此外,我们主张多元伦理,考虑到相关研究人员的背景和立场,并允许合作创造世界。

Ethnography of the kitchen: The Women’s House, a space for feminist alliance and intercultural encounter 厨房民族志:妇女之家,女权主义联盟和跨文化交流的空间

In this article, we delve into a debate about whether a kitchen was to be installed in a new Women’s House in a city in the Basque Country (Hernani, Gipuzkoa). The ethnography presented here was conducted by observing the process around the creation of the House. Articulating the debate’s main points led us to examine the dominant cultural assumptions about cooking in Basque society, especially in view of the opposing feminist positions on the kitchen and the domestic sphere. To understand the changes that took place, it is essential to consider the participants’ previous experience, the shape the discussion took and the diffractions and interferences that occurred during the process, as well as the priority placed on ‘being and doing together’ and being aware of the (self-)imposed limits while also allowing, even for a short period of time, the dichotomies that characterize and delimit this intercultural encounter to be questioned.
在这篇文章中,我们深入探讨了巴斯克地区(Hernani, Gipuzkoa)一个城市的新妇女之家是否应该安装厨房的争论。这里展示的民族志是通过观察房子创建的过程来进行的。通过阐述辩论的主要观点,我们审视了巴斯克社会中关于烹饪的主流文化假设,特别是考虑到厨房和家庭领域中反对女权主义的立场。为了理解所发生的变化,有必要考虑参与者以前的经历、讨论的形式、过程中发生的分歧和干扰,以及优先考虑“共同存在和共同行动”,意识到(自我)强加的限制,同时也允许,即使是在很短的时间内,这种跨文化接触的特征和界限的二分法受到质疑。

Articulating the debate’s main points led us to examine the dominant cultural assumptions about cooking in Basque society, especially in view of the opposing feminist positions on the kitchen and the domestic sphere. To understand the changes that took place, it is essential to consider the participants’ previous experience, the shape the discussion took and the diffractions and interferences that occurred during the process, as well as the priority placed on ‘being and doing together’ and being aware of the (self-)imposed limits while also allowing, even for a short period of time, the dichotomies that characterize and delimit this intercultural encounter to be questioned.","PeriodicalId":47573,"journal":{"name":"Ethnography","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48943125","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 article investigates a particular moment of political tension and intimidation of sub-Saharan migrants in Northern Morocco. Drawing on insights gained from collective fieldwork in Tangier, as well as from individual, longstanding ethnographic engagements with migrants from Guinea-Bissau and Mali, it describes the way West African migrants are policed, used as political capital and made the unwilling pawns of large-scale geopolitical negotiations. Targeted and intimidated as part of a diplomatic performance related to the bilateral dealings between Morocco and the European Union, their hardship is orchestrated to communicate the Moroccan state’s control of migration flows into the EU. The article clarifies the existential and social consequences of such staged persecution among migrants and elucidates how it is made sense of and managed through vernacular notions of ‘heat’, a metaphor for nonviable existence. As we shall see, such metaphors provide a window to a larger ‘social thermological’ register prevalent in making sense of precarious circumstance in both social life, social science and politics.
本文调查了摩洛哥北部撒哈拉以南移民面临的政治紧张和恐吓的特殊时刻。它借鉴了从丹吉尔的集体实地调查以及与几内亚比绍和马里移民的个人长期民族志接触中获得的见解,描述了西非移民被监管的方式,被用作政治资本,并成为大规模地缘政治谈判中不情愿的棋子。作为摩洛哥和欧盟之间双边交易外交表现的一部分,他们受到了针对性和恐吓,他们的困难是为了传达摩洛哥国家对移民流入欧盟的控制。这篇文章阐明了移民中这种阶段性迫害的生存和社会后果,并阐明了如何通过“热”的白话概念来理解和管理这种迫害,“热”是一种不生存的隐喻。正如我们将要看到的那样,这些隐喻为理解社会生活、社会科学和政治中的不稳定环境提供了一个更大的“社会热”语域的窗口。
