Have you attended our Annual Meeting? Published in Anthropology News or an AAA journal? Maybe you have used our jobs board ACE: Anthropology Careers & Employment? Your donations provide fellow members with access to vital educational and professional opportunities. The Association’s resource development committee is currently focused on fundraising in three key areas: ●● l Give a young anthropologist the chance to jump start their professional journey through the AAA Summer Internship Program. This educational opportunity is funded entirely by member donations and connects anthropology students with mentors who give them a taste for what is possible with a degree in anthropology. l Support World on the Move: 100,000 Years of Human Migration™, the Association’s latest public education initiative about the pressing and timely topic of migration, displacement, and human population movement. Donations to our education ini- tiatives, including World on the Move and our RACE project, help us develop public programming (including book readings, film screenings and museum exhibits) to facilitate broad and essential public conversations. l In today’s political climate, we face a heightened need to promote the positive contributions of anthropologists and anthro- pology to policy makers and the general public. Unrestricted donations, or donations to build our endowment fund, support these critical outreach and advocacy efforts. Make your contribution online at www.americananthro.org/donate.

We have been conducting fieldwork in Venezuela since the early 2000s, and like many of our colleagues, we reject the Trump/Chávez comparison. For starters, such comparisons rely on cultural stereo- types. The notion that Americans need to look outside of the United States to under- stand Trump’s authoritarianism, racism, or manipulation of stark class inequality reflects an enduring belief in American exceptionalism. More importantly, such comparisons sidestep the content of politics; they render insignificant the differences between an anti-capitalist who sought to build a type of socialism and a billionaire real estate developer

  • Aspecte Ale Unei Campanii De Gherila Anti-Trump
    113 SAECULUM Vol. 49, nr. 1, 2020, pp. 113 - 119 DOI : 10.2478/saec-2020-0010 Online ISSN 2601-1182 ASPECTE ALE UNEI CAMPANII DE GHERILA ANTI-TRUMP RADU STĂNESE Universitatea „Lucian Blaga” din Sibiu Facultatea de Științe Socio-Umane [email protected] Title: “Aspects of an anti-Trump guerrilla campaign” Abstract: During the 2016 presidential election debates, Donald Trump became the subject of a guerrilla campaign initiated by the anarchist group Indicline, through which five grotesque nude statues of the Republican candidate were installed in various cities in the United States. The message was not accidental considering that nude photos of Melania Trump from the beginning of her modelling career were re-published simultaneously. Through aesthetic antithesis, the image of the naked body was supposed to stigmatize the couple in public perception, starting from an artificial reality created in the everyday landscape, but which had to become viral in the online environment. Keywords: campaign; guerilla; nude; sculpture; grotesque Alegerile prezidențiale au fost tema dominantă a vieții publice americane în 2016. Pe tot parcursul anului, atacurile la adresa lui Donald Trump au fost nenumărate, de la cele strategic elaborate de adversarii politici la cele spontane ale cetățenilor americani revoltați de tendințele sale autoritare. Arta de gherilă a făcut parte din acest larg registru al libertății de exprimare, iar gruparea anarhistă Indicline1 s-a dovedit a fi deosebit de inventivă în utilizarea cu scop electoral a instrumentarului specific. La mijlocul lunii august 2016, în centrul orașelor New York, Cleveland, San Francisco, Los Angeles și Seattle au fost dezvelite statui ce îl înfățișează pe Donald Trump gol2.
