In this article, I discuss how street art has become an ally of urban policies molded by the creative city paradigm in marginalized neighborhoods of Lisbon (Portugal). Based on a dense ethnography of a peripheral neighborhood of this Southern European city, I follow the trail left by how public power uses the commodification of street art as an instrument for urban regeneration, touristification, and management of inequalities. The different meanings and interests around this policy are examined in street art festivals and tours, focused on the participation of young people as local guides. This urban policy has changed the negative public image of the neighborhood, with street art being combined with a multicultural experience commodified in guided tours for tourists. However, by ignoring the opinions of the residents on the interventions, this policy follows a top-down approach in which street art aesthetics operate as a device of subjugation and maintenance of the subaltern, beautifying processes of exclusion.
在这篇文章中,我讨论了街头艺术如何成为里斯本(葡萄牙)边缘化社区创意城市范式塑造的城市政策的盟友。基于这座南欧城市周边社区的密集民族志,我追踪了公共权力如何利用街头艺术的商品化作为城市复兴、旅游化和不平等管理的工具所留下的痕迹。街头艺术节和旅游考察了这项政策的不同含义和兴趣,重点是年轻人作为当地导游的参与。这项城市政策改变了该社区的负面公众形象,街头艺术与多元文化体验相结合,在导游的带领下商品化。然而,由于忽视了居民对干预措施的意见,这项政策遵循了自上而下的方法,街头艺术美学是征服和维护下层、美化排斥过程的一种手段。

“SHE CAN GET A VISA”: How Nationality and Class Shape Decision Making at a Kenyan NGO “她可以获得签证”:肯尼亚非政府组织的国籍和阶级如何影响决策

Prior studies show how race, class, and gender matter for worker identities within organizations, but there is an opportunity to focus on worker nationality and class background within nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). Using evidence from ethnographic fieldwork, in-depth interviews, and organizational documents at a small NGO in Kenya, I show how nationality and class mediate how NGO workers assign and accomplish organizational tasks. My results suggest that a process of elastic transnational stratification determines how nationality and class distribute tasks and decision-making power in relation to the location and organizational domain in which they must act. While both nationality and class are used as proxies for one’s proximity to power and influence, there are instances where less privileged identities are more strategic to deploy. Nationality and class shape access to various development spaces, the amount and type of resources one can attain on behalf of the organization, and legitimacy locally and at the global level.
先前的研究表明,种族、阶级和性别对组织内工人身份的影响,但在非政府组织内,有机会关注工人国籍和阶级背景。利用民族志实地调查、深入访谈和肯尼亚一家小型非政府组织的组织文件中的证据,我展示了国籍和阶级如何调节非政府组织工作人员如何分配和完成组织任务。我的研究结果表明,弹性跨国分层的过程决定了民族和阶级如何根据他们必须行动的地点和组织领域分配任务和决策权。虽然国籍和阶级都被用作接近权力和影响力的指标,但在某些情况下,弱势身份更具战略性。国籍和阶级决定了进入各种发展空间的机会,代表组织可以获得的资源的数量和类型,以及当地和全球层面的合法性。

It’s Understandable If It Destroys You, Right?—Grades, Students’ Self-Images, and Quantification 如果它毁了你,这是可以理解的,对吧--成绩、学生自我形象与量化

Human life is increasingly quantified. From blood pressure to body mass index, from likes and retweets to performance metrics at work, from IQ results to facial attractiveness scores issued by smartphone apps. Many of these numbers have the potential to substantially shape how individuals view themselves, and yet the link between quantification and self-image is to date not well understood. My window into this phenomenon is one of the most ubiquitous and influential metrics worldwide: the school grade. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in a German comprehensive school, I explore how students’ self-images are shaped by their numbers. Comparing students’ official and unofficial remarks reveals a striking contrast between a seemingly detached stance toward marks and a powerful feeling of being defined by them—notably with regards to “intelligence.” Nevertheless, rather than passively identifying with their grades, especially low-performing students draw on a wide range of strategies in an effort to negotiate their self-image in light of their numbers.
人类的生活越来越被量化。从血压到体重指数,从点赞和转发到工作表现指标,从智商结果到智能手机应用程序发布的面部吸引力评分。这些数据中的许多都有可能从本质上塑造个人对自己的看法,然而量化和自我形象之间的联系迄今为止还没有得到很好的理解。我观察这一现象的窗口是世界上最普遍、最具影响力的指标之一:学校成绩。基于在德国一所综合学校的民族志田野调查,我探讨了学生的自我形象是如何被他们的数量所塑造的。比较学生们的官方和非官方言论,可以发现一个明显的对比:学生们对分数的态度似乎是超然的,而他们却强烈地感觉到自己被分数所定义——尤其是在“智力”方面。然而,尤其是表现不佳的学生,与其被动地认同自己的成绩,还不如利用各种各样的策略,根据自己的成绩来调整自己的自我形象。

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, there has been a major increase in anxiety and depression. For many, online music fandoms have offered an important platform to combat loneliness and aid well-being. In this study, I use autoethnography, supported by psychosocial theory on recovery and sociological theory on music fandoms, to track my personal journey of recovery (2020–2022) from a mental health crisis through the support of the Rory Gallagher Instagram fan community. Specifically, I investigate how the community acts as a positive support mechanism for well-being, how my relationship with Rory and his music has changed since joining the community, and how knowledge of Rory’s own personal struggles, coupled with my own experiences, have empowered me to become a mental health advocate. Overall, the study brings attention to the importance of online music communities as informal, holistic regulating agents for mental health conditions and offers alternative ways for health services to approach mental health care.
自新冠肺炎爆发以来,焦虑和抑郁情绪大幅增加。对许多人来说,在线乐迷提供了一个重要的平台来对抗孤独和帮助幸福。在这项研究中,我使用民族志,在康复的心理社会理论和音乐粉丝的社会学理论的支持下,通过Rory Gallagher Instagram粉丝社区的支持,追踪我从心理健康危机中恢复的个人历程(2020-2022)。具体来说,我调查了社区如何成为幸福的积极支持机制,我与Rory和他的音乐的关系自加入社区以来发生了怎样的变化,以及对Rory个人斗争的了解,加上我自己的经历,如何使我成为一名心理健康倡导者。总的来说,这项研究引起了人们对在线音乐社区作为心理健康状况的非正式、整体调节剂的重要性的关注,并为卫生服务提供了获得心理健康护理的替代方法。

This article is about a journey that I took with my mother as she left us. It is an article using an autoethnographic approach which allows me, the writer, to use both my personal pain and thoughts as a way to give peace, understanding, and perspective of the time before my mom’s death. This article is also about giving a framework for those who will also go through the same experience with an aging parent, to both take away the stigma of death and to help the reader be present in a tough situation. For me, it was an honor to be with the woman who brought me into this world and to be able to be alone with her as she left.
这篇文章讲述的是我和母亲离开我们时的一段旅程。这篇文章使用了一种民族志方法,使我作为作家,能够利用我个人的痛苦和思想,对母亲去世前的时光给予平静、理解和视角。这篇文章还为那些也将与年迈的父母经历同样经历的人提供了一个框架,以消除死亡的耻辱感,并帮助读者处于艰难的境地。对我来说,能和那个把我带到这个世界上的女人在一起,能在她离开时和她单独在一起,我感到很荣幸。

Weeding Out the Weak: Labor, Gender, and Disability in a U.S. Fossil Fuel Boomtown 淘汰弱者:美国化石燃料繁荣时期的劳工、性别和残疾

COVID-19 has radically reshaped the labor dreams of many U.S. workers. This essay uses pre-pandemic fieldwork in an oil and gas “boomtown” to consider post-work imaginaries in the wake and midst of COVID-19. I use feminist and disability studies perspectives to argue that economic analyses must not only move beyond the discourse of “jobs” but must also attend to gender-based and ableist modes of discrimination that persist even in so-called booming economies. I posit the figure of the economically productive worker, asking how routine practices of identity-shaped discrimination undermine the capacities of some to embody this figure. My interview-derived and ethnographic data suggest that economic self-sufficiency is a woefully inadequate model for meeting the material needs of people, and that labor innovations such as a universal basic income are necessary to achieve the kinds of flourishing sought by those participating in the “great resignation.”
新冠肺炎从根本上重塑了许多美国工人的劳动梦想。本文利用疫情前在一个石油和天然气“繁荣城市”的实地考察,思考新冠肺炎之后和之中的工作后想象。我从女权主义和残疾研究的角度认为,经济分析不仅必须超越“就业”的话语,还必须关注即使在所谓的蓬勃发展的经济中也存在的基于性别和能力主义的歧视模式。我假设了经济生产型工人的形象,询问身份歧视的常规做法如何削弱了一些人体现这一形象的能力。我的采访和民族志数据表明,经济自给自足在满足人们的物质需求方面远远不够,而全民基本收入等劳动创新对于实现那些参与“大辞职”的人所寻求的繁荣是必要的

In this study, I seek to contribute to the literature on self-change and moral injury by providing an autoethnographic account of the processes through which I incurred “moral injury” while giving first aid to gunshot victims as a police officer on the Westside of Chicago. In particular, I aim to address the causes and consequences of failing to find a new identity that would allow me to adjust to repeated trauma. The second aim focuses on illustrating why many police officers working in extremely violent neighborhoods tend to disassociate from victims and potential victims. The analysis of the narratives I present on providing first aid to shooting victims shows that my religiously based moral norms were particularly transgressed by several key mechanisms. In the conclusion, I discuss how future research on moral injury can benefit from incorporating the theory of self-change. I also encourage future research on moral injury to focus on police officers working in extremely violent neighborhoods and consider using autoethnographic methods to pursue such research.
在这项研究中,我试图对自我改变和道德伤害的文献做出贡献,通过提供一个自我民族志的描述,我在芝加哥西区担任警察时,在为枪击受害者提供急救时,遭受了“道德伤害”。特别是,我的目标是解决未能找到一个新的身份,让我适应反复的创伤的原因和后果。第二个目标侧重于说明为什么许多在极端暴力社区工作的警察倾向于与受害者和潜在受害者疏远。对我为枪击案受害者提供急救的叙述的分析表明,我基于宗教的道德规范被几个关键机制所违背。在结论部分,我讨论了如何将自我改变理论纳入道德伤害的未来研究中。我还鼓励未来对道德伤害的研究将重点放在在极端暴力社区工作的警察身上,并考虑使用自我民族志方法来进行此类研究。

Addressing the Methodological Challenges that Cloaked Profiles Pose to Digital Observations 应对遮蔽剖面给数字观测带来的方法学挑战

Although digital ethnographic studies concerned with online misinformation have focused on analyzing the contents shared by “cloaked” profiles (concealed or fake identities), less attention has been given to the epistemological and ontological dilemmas that cloaked profiles pose to digital ethnography. This article deals with these issues by asking: how can digital ethnographers determine who and what we are observing? And how can we conduct online observations when confronted with cloaked profiles? Drawing on field research, this article argues that researchers would benefit from including more critical reflections on the presence of cloaked profiles and learning how to apply digital skills for how to unveil cloaked profiles. Such practices will challenge a commonly accepted ontology that online profiles represent human behavior and enhance researchers’ digital literacy and ability to recognize cloaked profiles. Finally, applying techniques to unveil cloaked profiles will arguably strengthen the hermeneutic process of knowledge production in digital observations.
尽管与网络错误信息有关的数字民族志研究侧重于分析“伪装”档案(隐藏或伪造身份)共享的内容,但对伪装档案给数字民族志带来的认识论和本体论困境的关注较少。本文通过提问来处理这些问题:数字民族志学家如何确定我们正在观察的是谁和什么?当我们面对隐藏的个人资料时,我们如何进行在线观察?根据实地研究,本文认为,研究人员将受益于对隐形个人资料的存在进行更批判性的反思,并学习如何应用数字技能来揭开隐形个人资料。这种做法将挑战一种普遍接受的本体论,即在线档案代表人类行为,并提高研究人员的数字素养和识别伪装档案的能力。最后,应用技术来揭示隐藏的轮廓可以说将加强数字观察中知识生产的解释学过程。

Mujeres Guerreras: Negotiating Women’s Empowerment in Colombia 女战士:哥伦比亚妇女赋权谈判

This research is based on nine months of ethnographic fieldwork with a formalized youth hip-hop organization in Colombia whose broad work with youth included a mission of women’s and girls’ empowerment. Throughout this article, I show how young women, through their affiliation with this professionalized organization, utilized city spaces to articulate opposition to gender-based inequalities and marginalization, within a larger context of protracted armed conflict and everyday violence. In these spaces, women configured themselves as hip-hop “guerreras” (warriors) and “luchadoras,” (fighters) to convey their fortitude while minimizing risk. I argue that they balanced “uncivic” modalities of hip-hop with a civic language of empowerment to garner support for their labor and causes.

本研究基于对哥伦比亚一个正式的青年嘻哈组织为期9个月的人种学田野调查,该组织与青年的广泛工作包括赋予妇女和女孩权力的使命。在这篇文章中,我展示了年轻女性如何通过加入这个专业组织,在长期武装冲突和日常暴力的大背景下,利用城市空间来表达对基于性别的不平等和边缘化的反对。在这些空间里,女性将自己塑造成嘻哈的“战士”(guerreras)和“战士”(luchadoras),以传达她们的坚韧,同时将风险降到最低。我认为他们平衡了嘻哈的“非公民”形式和公民赋权的语言,以获得对他们的劳动和事业的支持。通过考察女性在非政府组织的隶属关系和她们的创造性表现,我展示了女性是如何在强化授权修辞的同时,战略性地开辟空间,打造旨在挑战主流意识形态的媒体。

Freedom of speech has long been considered an essential value in democracies. However, its boundaries concerning hate speech continue to be contested across many social and political spheres, including governments, social media websites, and university campuses. Despite the recent growth of so-called free speech communities online and offline, little empirical research has examined how individuals embedded in these communities make moral sense of free speech and its limits. Examining these perspectives is important for understanding the growing involvement and polarization around this issue. Using a digital ethnographic approach, I address this gap by analyzing discussions in a rapidly growing online forum dedicated to free speech (r/FreeSpeech subreddit). I find that most users on the forum understand free speech in an absolutist sense (i.e., it should be free from legal, institutional, material, and even social censorship or consequences), but that users differ in their arguments and justifications concerning hate speech. Some downplay the harms of hate speech, while others acknowledge its harms but either focus on its epistemic subjectivity or on the moral threats of censorship and authoritarianism. Further, the forum appears to have become more polarized and right-wing-dominated over time, rife with ideological tensions between members and between moderators and members. Overall, this study highlights the variation in free speech discourse within online spaces and calls for further research on free speech that focuses on first-hand perspectives.
言论自由一直被认为是民主国家的基本价值。然而,在许多社会和政治领域,包括政府、社交媒体网站和大学校园,仇恨言论的界限仍然存在争议。尽管最近在线上和线下的所谓言论自由社区有所增长,但很少有实证研究调查这些社区中的个人如何对言论自由及其限制进行道德理解。研究这些观点对于理解围绕这一问题日益增加的参与和两极分化非常重要。使用数字人种学方法,我通过分析一个致力于言论自由的快速增长的在线论坛(r/ freesech subreddit)中的讨论来解决这一差距。我发现论坛上的大多数用户在绝对意义上理解言论自由(即,它应该不受法律、制度、材料甚至社会审查或后果的影响),但用户对仇恨言论的论点和理由不同。一些人淡化了仇恨言论的危害,而另一些人承认它的危害,但要么关注它的认知主观性,要么关注审查和威权主义的道德威胁。此外,随着时间的推移,论坛似乎变得更加两极化和右翼主导,充斥着成员之间以及版主和成员之间的意识形态紧张。总体而言,本研究强调了网络空间中言论自由话语的变化,并呼吁对言论自由进行进一步的研究,以第一手视角为重点。
