The Sublime Dance of Mende Politics: An African Aesthetic of Charismatic Power
Authors: Murphy William P.
Published: January 2005

In this ethnography of politics, the theory of the sublime is used to clarify the aesthetics of power among the Mende of Sierra Leone. A key formal dimension of this aesthetics is the dialectic of extraordinary visible effects caused by powerful hidden means, which is analyzed through the cultural analogy of dance and politics. This dialectic is also shown to link the aesthetics of the sublime with the politics of charisma as expressing similar logics of expressive power. Aesthetics is treated as an ethnographic heuristic for understanding political power and agency. The Mende political sublime raises broader questions for social theory about the relationship between aesthetics and agency as modeled by the opposition in aesthetic theory between beauty and the sublime. It also addresses the implications of this aesthetic opposition for the typology of agency found in the period ization of premodern, modern, and postmodern social conditions, [the sublime versus beauty, aesthetics of power, charisma, West African political culture, premodern versus postmodern agency]
Learning From the Swat Pathans: Political Leadership in Afghanistan, 1978–97
Authors: Edwards David B.
Published: January 2005

The conflict in Afghanistan, now two decades old, has generated considerable attention from journalists, policy analysts, and political scientists, but the literature on the conflict includes few references to the work of Fredrik Barth on political leadership among the Swat Pakhtuns of neighboring Pakistan. Here I explore the relevance of Barth's work to an analysis of the war in Afghanistan. In particular, I examine Barth's “methodological individualism” and compare his approach with alternative approaches advanced by three of his principal critics: Talal Asad, Akbar S. Ahmed, and Michael Meeker. [Afghanistan, Pakistan, political authority, Islam]

Reckoning Kinship in Maneo (Seram, Indonesia)
Authors: Hagen James M.
Published: January 2005

This study among the Maneo (Seram, Indonesia) focuses on the pragmatics of kinship knowledge. Through an extended investigation of a stranger's arrival, I untangle processes of recognition from those guiding the determination of relatedness. Recognition establishes the continuity of experience; as such, verity is a measure of the adequacy as opposed to accuracy of observation: a fact that contributes to the possibility of misrecognition. By contrast, relatedness is contingent upon the expression and suppression of different, sometimes contradictory historical ties, [kinship, knowledge, pragmatism, Maneo, Indonesia]

The Dialectics of "Disputatiousness" and "Rice‐Eating Money": Class Confrontation and Gendered Imaginaries among Chinese Men in West Malaysia
Authors: Nonini Donald M.
Published: January 2005

Chinese owners of Malaysian truck transport firms characterized Chinese drivers in 1979‐80 labor disputes as "disputatious," "cheating," and making "rice‐eating money." They presented themselves as a stigmatized, besieged, ethnic‐trading minority. My later fieldwork from 1985‐92 revealed that drivers used an embodied pedagogy of learning through labor to critique owners' accounts and their own exploitation, even though as "crude" men they shared with "mannered" owners male‐specific mobilities vis‐à‐vis Chinese women. Reflections on these fieldwork findings challenge prevailing discursive and post‐Marxist turns within ethnography.

Hidden Transcripts among the Rarámuri: Culture, Resistance, and Interethnic Relations in Northern Mexico
Authors: Levi Jerome M.
Published: January 2005

An understanding of Rarámuri (Tarahumara) cultural style and resistance to domination is enhanced when interpreted in relation to theories of muffled protest and discourse strategies based on dissimulation. In this article, I consider Scott's (1990) notion of discerning everyday resistance through what he calls "hidden transcripts," here in the context of Rarámuri‐Mestizo relations in northern Mexico. Scott's generalizing framework should be tempered in light of discussions of concealment, secrecy, and isolationism in Rarámuri culture. Analysis of the ritual, language, and behaviors associated with Rarámuri secrecy indicates that although the broad outline of his thesis is corroborated, specific elements invite reassessment. When hidden transcripts go public, the most compelling part of Scott's framework is also the weakest, [resistance, secrecy, interethnic relations, political symbolism, Tarahumara, Rarámuri, Mexico]

The Bakers of Bemburg and the Logics of Communism and Capitalism
Authors: Buechler Hans , Buechler Judith‐Maria
Published: January 2005

Drawing on a study of small‐and large‐scale bakeries in the pre‐and post‐communist periods in a small city in eastern Germany, we analyze the ambiguous roles hegemonies—communism before 1990 and capitalism after the unification of the two Germanies—have played in the lives of artisans. We propose a model of hegemony that emphasizes the role of agents other than "organic intellectuals." We conclude that, in order to survive, a hegemony may adapt to competing ideologies and interests by attempting to incorporate aspects of previous traditions that manifest themselves in daily behavior even when these are antithetical to the basic tenets of the hegemony and may ultimately contribute to its demise, [hegemony, economic change, artisans, small‐scale enterprises, eastern Germany]
Sensing Locality in Yura: Rituals of Carnival and of the Bolivian State
Authors: Bigenho Michelle
Published: January 2005

In this article, I discuss how an indigenous population in highland Bolivia established a sense of locality through participation in two different rituals: the musically based rituals of carnival and the bureaucratic practices or rituals of state that resulted from the initial implementation of a decentralizing law. Through a privileging of visually perceived representations, the logic behind the new law assumed populations were attached to contiguous territories within a national grid. In contrast, carnival rituals—through a focus on centerpoints, musical sonorities, and perceiving subjects—emphasized a relationship to locality through a sounding‐ off through space, [nation‐state, space, music performance, sense experience, Bolivia, Popular Participation, Yura]

Crossing Borders: Globalization as Myth and Charter in American Transnational Consumer Marketing
Authors: Applbaum Kalman
Published: January 2005

In this article, I explore the strategic practices and cultural theories of marketing managers in three U.S.‐based transnational corporations (TNCs) as seek to meaningfully direct their products across national borders. While cultural anthropologists have lately focused on local adaptation and appropriation of TNCs' products to local meanings, the reverse process by which TNCs co‐opt local meanings to a universalizing evolutionary paradigm—in what they have come to regard as a consumption‐led new global order—has not been examined. Globalization is explored as a key cultural concept driving marketing managers' practices—the myth and charter behind large TNC border crossings.

Is There a Light in My Eyes?
Authors: Grindal Bruce T.
Published: January 2005

The ethnographer in the field frequently becomes entangled in the lives of others in ways that are unpredictable and often emotionally shattering. In this montage of scenes, involving a British expatriate family, I present an account of a child, solitary and emotionally disturbed, raised in an environment of ethnic and sexual confusion, cast adrift in an African world. The story is a metaphor, a microcosm of a decaying colonialism, and in the wake of this decay, the emergence of a peculiar form of evil.

Globality and Constructions of World Health
Authors: Keane Christopher
Published: January 2005

Explorations of the social construction of health and illness reveal that popular and professional discourses on health and disease implicitly contain underlying images of how societies can or should be structured. Globality, which is a notion that refers to the consciousness of the world as a single place, suggests that these images of world structure are now salient. This article describes four current discourses of "world health" and discusses them in terms of their underlying ideal images of world order. The four images of the world are defined in terms of four elemental points of reference: individuals, societies, the system of societies, and humankind. These ideal images have either a gemeinschaft (community) or gesellschaft (society) orientation. An anthropology of globality can refine and extend our understandings of discourses of world health. Sensitivity to these discourses and their world‐oriented ideological roots should help to demystify the notion of world health. [world health, globality, global culture]

Images and Image: Technology and the Social Politics of Revealing Disorder in a North American Hospital
Authors: Simon Christian M.
Published: January 2005

In the United States and elsewhere diagnostic activities are now prominently centered on images derived from technologies such as magnetic resonance, computed tomography, and angiography. In this article I examine language, actions, and interactions in a multidisciplinary team of biomedical specialists whose members meet routinely to visually interpret and assess such images. Convened behind the scenes, in a conference room from which patients are excluded, these meetings are examined as privileged performances in which team members exercise their visual faculties and interpretive skills to address issues that include their statuses and reputations, and to politically position themselves and their specialties. Ethnographic data derived from close observation of 23 such diagnostic meetings are presented. I suggest that problems posed by the attempt to synthesize information from diagnostic images serve as vehicles for evaluating or “diagnosing” the professional capabilities and “image” of the participating physicians. Team‐based divisions and attempts to reassert challenged autonomies also characterize this socially oriented diagnostic process, [imaging technologies, micropolitics, performance, behind the scenes]
“You Are a Number, Not a Human Being”: Israeli Breast Cancer Patients' Experiences with the Medical Establishment
Authors: Sered Susan , Tabory Ephraim
Published: January 2005

In the course of interviews with Israeli women who had recently been treated for breast cancer, we found that our informants tended to offer us “treatment narratives” rather than, or sometimes in addition to, the “illness narratives” made famous by Arthur Kleinman. For the women we interviewed, treatment narratives constitute verbal platforms on which to explore what it means to be human during a period in which one's body, spirit, and social identity are undergoing intense transformations. A central theme in these narratives is the Hebrew word yachas, loosely translated as “attitude,”“attention,” or “relationship.” The women consistently contrasted the good yachas of medical staff who treated them “like humans” or like “real friends” with the bad yachas of staff who treated them like numbers, machines, or strangers. We argue that the women used language (in various contexts) as a means of resisting the medical culture's pattern of treating patients as “nonhumans.”[breast cancer, relationship, language, total institution]

Design and Application of a Theory-Based Case/Care Management Model for Home Care: Advanced Practice for Nurses as Care Managers
Authors: Sears Nancy A.
Published: January 2005

Case management has developed in a variety of health care, social service, and insurance industries. Its historical pattern of development has resulted in practices that are generally administrative and technical in nature as well as being relatively generic and often undifferentiated between being a role and process. Research over the last decade has resulted in the opportunity to move case management practice for home care into a structured theory-based model and practice. Design and implementation of a specialized advanced practice care management model reflective of care management research and theory design by British researchers is beginning to show clinical and systemic results that should be replicable in other regions.
Cash and Counseling and Managed Long-Term Care?
Authors: Mahoney Kevin J. , Meiners Mark R. , Shoop Dawn M. , Squillace Marie R.
Published: January 2005

This article presents the results of a survey on the interest of managed care organizations (MCOs) in developing a “cash and counseling” (C&C) option for delivering long-term personal assistance services. Forty-five percent of the respondents expressed interest, at least for some clients. Although specific experience with consumer direction did not have an effect, three organizational factors—larger size, non-PACE, and not limited to the elderly—predicted MCOs’ willingness to consider this option. Respondents’ comments give insights on concerns and benefits. This study provides a baseline that can inform further investigation of the compatibility of managed care and “Cash and Counseling.”
Providing Housing and Care to Elderly Homeless Men and Women in Australia
Authors: Lipmann Bryan
Published: January 2005

People who are unemployed and who lack the resources to buy adequate food, shelter, or basic health care services face an endless struggle to survive. It is frequently a degrading and humiliating experience. The elderly homeless, who are often frail and sick, are particularly disadvantaged in this struggle. Yet resources are often available to welfare providers to care for the aged homeless. All that is needed is a willingness for providers and government agencies to acknowledge the existence of homelessness among the elderly and be prepared to alleviate the problem.
