  • Caste in the Same Mold Again: Artisans and the Indignities of Inheritance in Sri Lanka
    CASTE IN THE SAME MOLD AGAIN: ARTISANS AND THE INDIGNITIES OF INHERITANCE IN SRI LANKA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Aimée Catherine Douglas December 2017 ©2017 Aimée Catherine Douglas CASTE IN THE SAME MOLD AGAIN: ARTISANS AND THE INDIGNITIES OF INHERITANCE IN SRI LANKA Aimée Catherine Douglas, Ph.D. Cornell University 2017 In a context of transforming expectations regarding the who, how, and what of heritage stewardship around the world, this dissertation examines caste’s revitalization through boundary work carried out by a variety of actors and across a range of practical and discursive moments. Through a wide selection of ethnographic vignettes, it analyzes such boundary work around caste from multiple vantage points to illustrate how this category of identification is reproduced in tension with and in the service of neoliberal processes that have shaped Sri Lanka’s “traditional craft industries” since the 1977 implementation of an “open economy policy.” Grounded in two years of ethnographic fieldwork in the country’s central province, the dissertation offers anthropological insight into what happens at the level of everyday experience when the logics of neoliberal economics and democratic egalitarianism become entangled with nationalist investments in heritage on the one hand, and the apparent specters of pre-modern preoccupations with hierarchy and honor on the other. In this majority Buddhist island country, caste among the Sinhalese has long been popularly rejected as an anachronistic and lamentable artifact of pre- colonial society, its public discussion generally avoided to an extreme (Silva and Hettihewage 2001:63).

  • Chapter I Small States in International Politics : a Reflection on Conceptual and Contextual Dimensions
    1 CHAPTER I SMALL STATES IN INTERNATIONAL POLITICS : A REFLECTION ON CONCEPTUAL AND CONTEXTUAL DIMENSIONS The Anglo-American tradition which has dominated the discipline of International Relations Studies until recently had an explicit discriminatory bias in favour of the analysis of the foreign policies of powerful and dominant states of the international system. This scholarly orientation has resulted in an impressive corpus of theoretical knowledge on various aspects of the foreign policies of dominant states. However, in the case of small states, such orientation has been considerably weak or inadequate. With the dominant tradition having consciously neglected the study of the foreign policies of small and weak states, there is comparable dearth of theoretical literature on the foreign policies of these states. It can hardly be overemphasized that the absence of a scholarly perspective on the foreign policies of small states in the discipline has led to an inadequate and distorted understanding of international politics in general. There appears to be four main reasons for this peculiar situation in the discipline. The first reason is that the scholarly rendering of the realist perspective, which has exercised near hegemony over the discipline, is that the course of international politics is determined by those states which possess superior military and economic capability. It virtually undermines, the effectiveness of other instruments in the conduct of external state-craft. As a consequence, studies of international politics dominated by the realist paradigm treat small states as inconsequential actors in the realm of international relations.1 The second reason, closely related to the first, is that the research institutes and universities on international relations have been located in the major powers.
