With best wishes, David Cooper -- Politicised Provision: ethnographic perspectives on welfare under Latin America's New Left Date: 26th-27th March 2018 Venue: Daryll Ford Seminar Room, Department of Anthropology, UCL, London Convener: David Cooper ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) As Latin America turned to the left in recent years, 'Pink Tide' governments experimented with new forms of social welfare, combining poverty-reduction measures with contentious efforts to facilitate political inclusion. The programs that resulted are woven through with powerful claims regarding the nature of the polity, the form and role of the state, and the shape citizenship should take. They make demands on participants to be particular kinds of citizens, and are often bound up with an imperative of ethical or subjective transformation. At the same time, the programs play out amid the political hopes, demands and expectations of participants and others, and in the context of broader social and political imaginaries. Their scenes of practical realisation bring dissonant visions of political possibility into dialogue, and become arenas for asserting and contesting divergent views of participation, belonging and power. This workshop brings together researchers whose work demonstrates the value of an ethnographic perspective in teasing apart these multi-faceted ramifications of Pink Tide social policy.
