LATEST ISSUE OF
ANTHROPOLOGY MATTERS
 
ISSN 1758-6453
http://www.anthropologymatters.com/journal/2008-2/index.html
 
The latest issue of the Anthropology Matters Journal contains new research from seven PhD or early-career anthropologists. Their topics range from how one "kills time" in Albania and Georgia (by Frederiksen) to the lively carnival experience in Spain (by Salazar-Sutil). Some reflect on the different ways in which they have adapted classical fieldwork to fit their specific topics, including Craciun's reflections on practicing anthropology "out of the corner of one's eye", Wiencke's use of colour drawings as part of his fieldwork, and Enav-Weintraub's experiences of "sensing the political" in the West Bank. Finally, Klein and van Steenwyk both examine marginal communities and how they interact with society: people with variations of gender identity and/or sex development in South Africa, and the Deaf community in Australia.

RESEARCHING FAKES: PRACTICING ANTHROPOLOGY OUT OF THE CORNER OF ONE'S EYE, by Magdalena Craciun (University College London). This paper discusses the style of anthropological inquiry forged through attempts at grasping the elusive presence of fake branded goods. Practicing anthropology out of the corner of one's eye is a method of capturing something that is not discussed straightforwardly, something that quickly turns from visible into invisible. At the same time, it is an attitude in which discretion and respect mingle with diffidence…
 
TEMPORALITY IN PARTICIPATION AND OBSERVATION: PERSPECTIVES FROM ALBANIA AND GEORGIA, by Martin Demant Frederiksen (University of Aarhus). Whereas the notion of time has usually been seen as an analytical concept, this article focuses on issues of time and temporality as methodological tools in anthropological fieldwork. Based on empirical examples from Albania and the Republic of Georgia , the article explores issues of observation and participation in relation to time seen objectively as history and change, that is, time passing by leaving various signs of alteration, and time as a subjective experience, that is, the way time is experienced locally…
 
CARNIVAL POST-PHENOMENOLOGY: MIND THE HUMP, by Nicolas Salazar-Sutil (Goldsmiths College , University of London). This article is an autoethnographic reading of carnival as an inter-cultural and interpersonal event, and one that does not always profit from anthropological models such as inversion or safety-valve theories. The radical proximity of carnival experience destroys the objectivity of the event and makes it meaningful mainly as a lived-in moment. The following is an account of an individual experience that defines the significance of carnival as a form of kinesis, the shaking up of the static ethnographic "I"; an (un)expected humping…
 
THEORETICAL REFLECTIONS ON THE LIFE WORLD OF TANZANIAN STREET CHILDREN, by Markus Wiencke (Free University, Berlin). In this article I reconstruct the life world (Lebenswelt) of the street children of the Tanzanian city Mwanza from an emic perspective that emphasises meaning-making, in order to depict them as subjects solely responsible for their actions. Accordingly I shall present how two youths conveyed to me, in numerous colour drawings, their everyday urban life…
 
(UN)SETTLING THE WEST BANK OF ISRAEL/PALESTINE: THE ANTHROPOLOGY OF CITIZENSHIP IN "NO MAN'S LAND", by Yarden B. Enav-Weintraub (University of Edinburgh). This paper answers Yael Navaro-Yashin's call for ethnographic research of "no man's land(s)", and to the ethnographic challenge she poses in her call for anthropologists to "sense the political" in such territories. The paper is based on my fieldwork in an Israeli college in the " West Bank" of Israel/Palestine and deals with the ambiguous political status of this geo-political territory. The paper analyses the "West Bank" of Israel/Palestine as a (political) "no man's land" and attempts to "sense the political" there…
 
QUERYING MEDICAL AND LEGAL DISCOURSES OF QUEER SEXES AND GENDERS IN SOUTH AFRICA, by Thamar Klein (Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology). South Africa is one of the most progressive countries worldwide regarding the rights of people with variations of gender identity and/or sex development. This paper queries medical and legal discourses of queer sex and gender. It takes a look at the medico-legal discourses on people whose identities and/or bodies exist outside of the binary of male and female or transition within this binary in South Africa…
 
GOING, GOING, BUT NOT GONE: THE IMPACT OF SOCIAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL INFLUENCES ON THE AUSTRALIAN DEAF COMMUNITY, by Ingrid van Steenwyk. Australia's Deaf community, whose members consider themselves part of a distinct socio-cultural minority group identified by their use of Australian Sign Language (Auslan), is experiencing significant and rapid change. Recent social and technological influences such as cochlear implants, telecommunications technology, mainstreaming and the closure of Deaf Clubs are changing the way Deaf people communicate, socialise and identify. Some research suggests that these influences combined with advances in medical care and genetics have the potential to wipe out deafness altogether, taking with it the entire community, its unique culture and one of the world's few native signed languages…
