  • Emptiness and Its Futures Staying and Leaving As Tactics of Life in Latvia
    Emptiness and its futures Staying and leaving as tactics of life in Latvia Dace Dzenovska Abstract: In the past 25 years, rural Latvia has become notably emptier. Th is emp- tying is the result of post-Soviet deindustrialization and large-scale outmigration, enabled by EU accession and exacerbated by the 2008 fi nancial crisis. It is accom- panied by lack of political protest, leading many to conclude that migration hinders political mobilization. Such conclusions derive from viewing leaving and staying as actions in relation to the state. Instead, leaving and staying should be viewed in relation to transnational forms of power. Th e people leaving the de industrialized Latvian countryside to work in the English countryside are seeking futures past, namely, futures of stable employment and incremental prosperity. Th ose who stay in the emptying Latvian countryside create the future as a little bit more of the present. Keywords: emptiness, future, Latvia, migration, United Kingdom Th e proliferation of protest movements around sustained protest with regard to both (Eihmanis the world in the time period following the 2008 2017; Hudson and Summers 2011; Sommers global fi nancial crisis generated hope among and Woolfson 2014).

  • Symbolic Structure of the Post-Soviet Transformations in Latvia and Emigration: Avoiding Shame and Striving for Hope and Confidence
    SYMBOLIC STRUCTURE OF THE POST-SOVIET TRANSFORMATIONS IN LATVIA AND EMIGRATION: AVOIDING SHAME AND STRIVING FOR HOPE AND CONFIDENCE by IVETA ĶEŠ ĀNE B.S., Latvian Culture Academy, 2005 M.S., Alberts Ludwigs University and Kwazulu-Natal University, 2008 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Social Work College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2016 Abstract This dissertation explores the case of emigration from Latvia towards the West after collapse of the Soviet Union. It takes the perspective of a particular cultural structure that came to dominate post-Soviet Latvia and adopts the vantage point of the state-society relationships this structure has cast. The central question of this study examines: what is the relationship between the cultural structure in post-Soviet Latvia and emigration towards the West? This study answers this question by contrasting Latvia’s civil discourse with emigrants’ and those who remain in Latvia personal narratives through the lens of cultural sociology that emphasizes the role of the symbolic realm, meaning making, and emotions. Research findings suggested that the post- Soviet cultural structure was dominated by “symbolic codes” (Alexander and Smith, 1993) or sharp divides such as West vs. East/Soviet, Right vs. Left, and Developed vs. Underdeveloped. Notably, symbolic codes of West, Right and Developed were constructed as “sacred” while their opposites were pushed out of “sacred” and ridiculed. These divides originated from such particular emotions as shame, confidence/pride and fear. Their meanings in the dominant transformation discourse and emotional origins were formative to the identity and modern state craft, and subjectivities in post-Soviet Latvia.

  • 1 the Moral Dimensions of Economic Life in Eastern Europe, Russia, And
    The Moral Dimensions of Economic Life in Eastern Europe, Russia, and Eurasia 20th and 21st of March, 2019 Organizers: Nicolette Makovicky (University of Oxford), Jörg Wiegratz (University of Leeds), Dimitra Kofti (Panteion University) Please send abstracts of max. 250 words to [email protected] by February 1st, 2019. Morality and ethics have recently become a central theme in the Social Sciences, leading to a revival and revaluation of the concept of ‘moral economy’ (Götz 2015, Sayer 2015, Palomera and Vetta 2016). A growing range of scholarship now employs the term to analyse, amongst others, political conflicts, resistance, and social movements; patterns of economic relationships and behaviour – including consumption, subsistence, and resource use; youth and migration; as well as fraud, corruption, and violence (Wheeler and Gluckmann 2016, Whyte and Wiegratz 2016). Morality and moral economy are also increasingly being used as a lens through which to study the ways in which the increasing neo- liberalization of society is reshaping moral-economic orders and reformulating, for instance, welfare, citizenship, and humanitarian aid (Fassin 2012, Muehlebach 2012, Wiegratz 2016, Sliwinski 2018). And finally, in the wake of the global financial crisis, scholars have begun to turn their attention to moral economies of precarity, labour, and debt, as well as economies of hope and value (Narotsky and Besnier 2014, Knight and Stewart 2016, Stubbs and Žitko 2018). This engagement with the morality-economy nexus stands in contrast with orthodox views and mainstream analyses - especially in much of economics and parts of political economy study - which tend to exclude morality from the investigation and understanding of economic life.

  • Sight and Touch Between East and West Ethics, Ethnography and Social Theory
    Sight and Touch between East and West Ethics, Ethnography and Social Theory Liene Ozoliņa ABSTRACT In this Forum contribution, I develop the idea of the learnings of post-socialism beyond Eastern Europe. I propose retaining the distinctness of the peripheral vision ‘from the East’ and purposely keeping its ‘provinciality’ in order to illuminate the qualities and shortcomings of the theory at the centre. The note starts with an ethnographic encounter in Riga and draws on it to show how the peripheral vision of post-socialist Eastern Europe can challenge the stubborn boundary between morality and social theory. KEYWORDS embodiment, ethnography, nationalism, post-socialism, social theory I am sympathetic to the proposition of interrogating the epistemic boundaries of post-socialism and to explore what this concept can offer to other fields of knowledge. In one of the articles in this theme issue, Ognjen Kojanić suggests that postsocialism provides a periph- eral vision that allows seeing the global political economy in a multi- scalar, relational way. This peripheral vision allows seeing both the centre and the margin as related, recognising socio-political processes as global and as interlinking the centre and the periphery. I am not disclosing a secret by saying that practices of governance and forms of social relations have been tried out first and in most extreme ways in colonies (the second and the third world), to then be implemented in ‘the centre’ (Comaroff and Comaroff 2012; Stoler 2009). Also, in this issue, Francisco Martínez offers an analysis of global postsocialism from one such peripheral place, Narva, in Estonia. In his Narvaology, he roams this border-zone and catalogues the objects and sites that show the transnational in the local, and back.

  • Introduction Desire for the Political in the Aft Ermath of the Cold War
    THEME S ECTION Introduction Desire for the political in the aft ermath of the Cold War Dace Dzenovska and Nicholas De Genova Abstract: In this introduction, we refl ect on the proliferation of an amorphous desire for the political in the post–Cold War era. Th e desire for the political, we argue, is shaped by two sets of tensions: the desire to criticize power via forms of action conventionally characterized as “politics,” but without a clear analysis of how power is organized or exercised; and the desire to overcome the present in the name of an alternative (better) future, but without a clear sense of the form that future might take. We start from the vantage points of critical scholarship that distinguishes itself from the mainstream, and people and places that are geopo- litically in Europe, but “not quite” European if viewed in relation to “Europe” as a normative trope. Keywords: anthropology, futurity, politics, postcolonialism, postsocialism, power Since the 2011 uprising in Tunisia, the world expressions of discontent with inequality, pre- has seen the repeated eruption of mass protests carity, corruption, and democratic defi cit. Ac- and social movements. Th ese include the vari- tivists and scholars have observed that these ety of confl icts that came to be labeled the “Arab protests were both locally specifi c and globally Spring,” the anti-austerity protests in Greece oriented, connected by diff use hopes for a global and the struggles of the Indignados Movement insurrection against neoliberal capitalism (e.g., in Spain, Occupy Wall Street and its numerous Graeber 2013; Juris and Rasza 2012; Lorey 2011).

  • Hedging “Queer”/ Sexual Non- Normativity in Beirut
    CROSS-BRACING SEXUALITIES: HEDGING “QUEER”/ SEXUAL NON- NORMATIVITY IN BEIRUT By Adriana Qubaiová Submitted to Central European University Department of Gender Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Gender Studies Supervisor: Hadley Z. Renkin CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2019 Copyright Statement I hereby declare that this dissertation contains no materials accepted for any other degrees in any other institutions. Nor does it contain materials previously written and/or published by another person, except where appropriate acknowledgement is made in the form of bibliographic reference. th April 29 , 2019 CEU eTD Collection i Abstract Based on 15 months of ethnographic fieldwork in Beirut, this dissertation traces the (re)production of gendered non-normative sexualities as co-constituted by the local and the global. Several actors emerge as central players in shaping the meanings and politics of ‗the sexual‘ in Beirut today: the Lebanese state and its security apparatus, LGBT-rights NGOs and activists, ‗queer‘ bars, and Syrian refugees. These actors continuously configure the politics of gender and sexual non-normativity and sexual subjectivity in relation to power, profit, space, kinship, and displacement. Prevalent scholarly approaches to gender and sexual non-normativity in the Middle East (West Asia) have been caught in a debate over local authenticity on the one hand and imperial imposition and mimicry on the other. I argue for a way out of this bind. In line with post- structuralism, I propose ‗cross-bracing‘ as a theoretical structure that captures ‗the sexual‘ as a set of unequal and cross-dependent interactions among dominant forces of the local, regional, and transnational.

    3 N THE SIDE OF PREDICTABLE OVisioning the Future in Serbia Maja Petrović-Šteger Institute of Anthropological and Spatial Studies ZRC SAZU and Postgraduate School ZRC SAZU – Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Ljubljana etnološka tribina 43, vol. 50, 2020., str. 3-31 50, 2020., str. 43, vol. tribina etnološka In order to be able to contextualize and understand social worlds, anthropologists pay close attention. We observe how individuals and communities relate to each other and to their ideas. We study the intimate and subjective, as well as the large-scale cosmologies by which people make themselves and the world. Our participatory methods and reflective analysis document the complex, intricate, patterned, and also random aspects of people’s reason- ing and actions. These activities, on anthropology’s part, supposedly offer not only criti- cal descriptions of the present (on its historical trajectories), but possible intimations of a society’s future. Anthropological analysis, in other words, not only describes but also an- ticipates. This position paper focuses on the notions of anticipation, predictability, and pos- sibility in anthropology. It asks what methodological and theoretical assumptions are built into our ways of making predictions about our field sites. It invites the reader to consider the effects certain anticipatory practices have for the people and phenomena we study as well as for the discipline. Centrally, the paper proposes different ways of attending to visions that anticipate the future. By reflecting on my ethnographic and analytical journeys in Serbia, I attempt to explain why I currently make so much of questions of predictability and possibil- ity in both the field and the discipline.

  • Amis News March 2018
    NEWS MARCH 2018 AMIS events for the remaining part of the 2018 spring semester AMIS-CEMES Student Forum Lecture by Dr. Dace Dzenovska, followed by a Q&A session Following independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, economic and political liberalization projects were rolled out across Latvia and Eastern Europe. While economic liberalism was welcomed, political liberalism was contested. Many in Latvia did not want to give up their collective sense of self and insisted on the importance of the nation alongside individual liberties and respect for diversity. From the perspective of liberal Europe, this often led to the conclusion that Latvia’s residents exhibited too much socialist mentality or nationalist sentiment and thus required lessons in political liberalism in order to become fully European. In this talk, I critically examine efforts to extend lessons in political liberalism to Latvia’s residents on the basis of an ethnography of tolerance promotion in Latvia in the 2000s. I argue that, rather than viewing Eastern Europe as falling behind, it should be viewed as the laboratory for forging post-Cold War political liberalism in Europe. Moreover, it provides insight with regard to the current crisis of political liberalism from a moment in time when it was still confident and from the perspective of a place and people that were thought to have never been liberal. Dace Dzenovska is Associate Professor in the Anthropology of Migration, Center on Migration, Policy and Society (COMPAS), University of Oxford. She is the author of the forthcoming book: 'School of Europeanness. Tolerance and Other Lessons in Political Liberalism in Latvia' published by Cornell University Press.

  • LGBT/Q Activist Projects in Contemporary Poland
    MONIKA BAER Intersections.EEJSP 6(3): 53–73. Europeanization on the Move: LGBT/Q Activist Projects DOI: 10.17356/ieejsp.v6i3.653 in Contemporary Poland http://intersections.tk.mta.hu [[email protected]] (University of Wrocław) Abstract1 Drawing on ethnographic research conducted in Wrocław, Poland, the paper analyzes grassroots workings of European sexual citizenship. Against this backdrop, it attempts to problematize a concept of Europeanization as vertical and horizontal diffusion which spreads specific ideas, practices, and institutions among actual and prospective EU Member States. Whereas (neo)liberal LGBT rights, seen as a symbol of Europeanness, have definitely inspired struggles for sexual freedom in Poland, abstract notions of Europe and Europeanization do not form an important point of reference, at least at a local level. Moreover, premises of European sexual citizenship are in many ways contested by non- heteronormative persons unwilling (or unable) to use this frame for the conceptualization of their own experiences. On the other hand, because the EU and neoliberalism constitute significant antagonists of Polish right-wing nationalism, this allows for a certain resignification of interrelated phenomena criticized elsewhere as ‘homonormative’ and ‘homonationalist.’ While these phenomena undoubtedly trigger specific inclusions and exclusions, they also have the potential to contribute to critical citizenship. Consequently, instead of grasping Europeanization in a teleological way, the paper argues for taking it as an image that may fuel social change, variously conceived of. Keywords: Europeanization, the EU, LGBT/Q activism, Poland, right-wing nationalism, sexual citizenship. 1 The abbreviation ‘LGBT’ is used to cover both the legal terms SOGIESC (sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and sex characteristics) and non-heteronormative experiences defined as ‘lesbian,’ ‘gay,’ ‘bisexual,’ and ‘trans*.’ ‘Q’ stands for queer and pertains to all other forms of non- heteronormativity.
