Over the past few years, these technologies each had moments of promise. Facebook rebranded to Meta to hype up “the metaverse”—an immersive virtual world—as the successor to the internet. One of the presumed technologies enabling the metaverse was the blockchain, whose best-known application is cryptocurrency. NFTs experienced a bubble of interest and also served to inflate crypto, because NFTs are blockchain technologies. Significantly, because these three technologies are interlocking, as one faltered (for example, the crypto exchange FTX’s bankruptcy), they all faltered. It was amidst this floundering that generative AI began making a splash.2.

Boğaç Ergene and Febe Armanios, Halal Food: A History (New York: Oxford University Press, 2018), 110.13. During fieldwork, “eating well” always included meat, home-reared trusted meat in particular. Since I shared with my interlocutors that I only eat chickens and no fish or red meat, they repeatedly took me as an example of someone who does not eat well. My interlocutors believed that I would only be able to eat well—thus eat meat—when I rear my own meat and thus trust and know where the meat I eat comes from. It would be interesting to historicize this definition of “well” as it pertains to eating meat within Islamic history. For example, Boğaç Ergene and Febe Armanios pointed out that in the time of prophet Muhammad, animal flesh was a rare source of nourishment: Camels were very prevalent, but they played many roles, and humans only slaughtered them when they had no other alternative. In fact, early Muslims viewed meat with suspicion and associated it with health problems and exuberance. In a medieval commentary, the fourth Sunni Caliph Ali ibn Abi Talib is quoted to have instructed: “Do not allow your stomachs to become graveyards for animals”; Ergene and Armanios, Halal Food: A History, 33.14.

Wolf ’s approach came at a time when many anthropologists were attempting to intervene in the historical telling of the world.1 In particular, Wolf argued that non-europeans were also participants in global, colonial processes. The value of Wolf ’s voice—indeed, the value of most anthropology at the time—was that it offered a wide-scale view of human events for which the anthropologist was merely an observer, hence not responsible. on that note, the instructor might explain that anthropology is a discipline that is global and universal in nature, yet personal. Though anthropologists describe the world, they also describe everything in the human body, all the way down to the level of the chromosome. Anthropology is about everything and does everything. However, I would argue that anthropology’s breadth—its ability to say that it studies everything—distracts us all from its roots in bad behaviors and policies. What Wolf never explained—what anthropology’s leaders haven’t properly dealt with over the decades—is that anthropology practiced in the United States began in processes to disempower and dehumanize American Indian (native American, Indigenous) peoples. While churches and the U.S. federal government spent stolen resources to build boarding schools where they forced American Indian people to cut their hair and stop speaking their languages, anthropologists such as Franz Boas, edward Sapir and Alfred Kroeber collected recordings of their Indigenous languages before they disappeared under the weight of these educational policies.2 At best, anthropology in the United States was funded by the residual profits of genocide.","PeriodicalId":90439,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology now","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135798209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
