This essay is part of a forum on Srila Roy's (2022) book, Changing the Subject. I suggest that Roy's book offers a way to sit with the paradoxes of feminist praxis by engaging with its everyday messiness and conflict. I read Roy's book through the lens of my research with sex worker activists in India, focusing on how Roy's attention to ambivalence helped me to rethink my analysis. Through ethnography, the book shows how her interlocutors strategize creatively under disempowering conditions, challenging narratives of loss and depoliticization in feminist movements. Finally, I reflect on questions the book raises about the practice of feminist research.

This is an afterword to a special section on flash ethnography reflecting on the filigree artistry of these short and intricate pieces that allow us as writers to be vulnerable and write in ways that are enlightening in unexpected ways.

This article explores joy, identity, and belonging at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival through an ethnographic project inviting festgoers and staff members to draw, sketch, or map their experiences and journeys through festival landscapes. Building on scholarship in visual, humanistic, and post-humanist anthropology, we view map-making as an emergent strategy for performative epistemology, a way of making and thinking together. In a festival with a strong visual culture that centers African American music and cultural heritage, drawings often reflect racialized landscapes and subjectivities. Maps reveal the centrality of affect in festival experiences while affording insights into what makes joy complicated. For some, festival sociality brings those tensions to the fore while making it possible for others to imagine a world otherwise.

This essay introduces a collection of one-hundred-word reflections celebrating Kathleen Stewart's retirement. Dozens of scholars participated in this celebration. Each participant wrote a one-hundred-word reflection to stand alone as an individually authored piece. The disconnected brevity of these reflections may catch some readers off guard. Thus, this introduction develops a lingua franca to welcome as many potential readers as possible. This lingua franca combines five dialects: poetic, metaphoric, bibliographic, historic, and dialogic. Grounded in poetic form, this introduction speaks in the metered voice of one-hundred-word chunks. Many of these chunks offer metaphorical proposals for how to read our celebratory collection. Bibliographic citations, appearing throughout, create affective resonances with various scholarly literatures. Acknowledging anthropology's emphasis on context specificity, some chunks describe the historical development of the one-hundred-word form. Dialogically, this introduction uses the second-person pronoun, you, to invite conversations rather than critiques. Such a five-part lingua franca engages two camps of readers: readers who enjoy experimentation may think this introduction is too paranoid; readers who cringe at experimentation may think this introduction is too poetic. Alienating as few readers as possible, this essay proposes a Goldilocks solution: not too paranoid, not too poetic, but just right—or “good enough” (Milo 2019).

In this commentary, part of a book forum on Srila Roy's (2022) book Changing the Subject: Feminist and Queer Politics in Neoliberal India, I argue that the feminist and queer movement, in response to the neoliberal turn in India, is not totally separate from the Indian state formations. In fact, a shadowy state emerges in the affective life of citizens as an expression of what Timothy Mitchell would have called “state effect.”

This flash piece asks what development means for rivers, indigenous farmers, and tourists when we redirect, move, and siphon water from one region to another. The work considers rivers as traces of time, peoples, and environments, following my chronology and physical residence(s) in California, Hunan, Guangxi, and Yunnan in China. I begin in the Bay Area, where I grew up, and move to my time spent on five rivers in Southern China: the Xiangjiang, the Li, the Jinsha, the Lancang, and the Nujiang.
