We are delighted to be meeting jointly with the American Ethnological Society to explore the shared conference theme of “Transnational Anthropologies.” Sessions, roundtables, workshops, organized symposia combine to explore not only the movement between our two countries but the wider global context in which people and resources now move and intersect. In following transnational mobilities, anthropology itself has broadened and has engendered intensive rethinking of the traditional methodologies and theories of our discipline, a complexity reflected in the variety of formats and themes contained in the program. We are grateful to our colleagues at the University of British Columbia for the invitation to visit them in Vancouver and we much appreciate the diligent work of the organizing committee in hosting this conference. Best wishes, Regna Darnell, CASCA President On behalf of the American Ethnological Society, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to our 2009 annual meetings, which we are very fortunate to be holding in conjunction with the Canadian Anthropology Society- Société Canadienne d’Anthropologie. We are very excited about the theme of this year’s conference, “Transnational Anthropologies: Convergences and Divergences in Globalized Disciplinary Networks.” In light of the rapid and profound transformations anthropology is currently undergoing, it is difficult to imagine a more timely or important topic. We are equally excited about this year’s guest speaker, Professor Jane Guyer, who will be presenting a keynote address entitled “Theorizing Economies, From Elsewhere.” Professor Guyer will draw on her extensive fieldwork experience in West Africa to pose a series of fascinating questions about economic life writ large. Best wishes, David Nugent, AES President 5 Mot de Bienvenue Je suis heureuse de vous souhaiter la bienvenue à CASCA 2009. Nous sommes enchantés de nous réunir avec l’American Ethnological Society pour explorer ensemble le thème du colloque : «Anthropologies Transnationales». Au travers de sessions, table-rondes, ateliers et symposiums organisés, nous explorerons non seulement la circulation entre nos deux pays, mais aussi le contexte mondial plus vaste dans lequel se déplacent et se croisent personnes et ressources. En suivant les mobilités transnationales, l’anthropologie s’est élargie et a permis de repenser en profondeur les méthodes et théories traditionnelles de notre discipline, une réflexion complexe qui se reflète dans la variété des thèmes et formats contenus dans le programme. Nous sommes reconnaissants envers nos collègues de l’Université de la Colombie- Britannique de nous avoir invités à Vancouver, et nous apprécions tout le travail réalisé par le comité organisateur pour nous accueillir lors de ce congrès. Meilleurs vœux, Regna Darnell, Présidente de CASCA Au nom de l’American Society of Ethnology, j’ai le grand plaisir de vous souhaiter la bienvenue à notre rencontre annuel de 2009, que nous sommes très heureux de tenir conjointement avec la Canadian Anthropology Society- Société Canadienne d’Anthropologie. Le thème de cette année est particulièrement stimulant : «Anthropologies transnationales: Convergences et divergences au sein de réseaux disciplinaires mondialisés». En effet, à la lumière des transformations rapides et profondes que traverse l’anthropologie en ce moment, il est difficile d’imaginer un temps plus propice ou un sujet plus important que celui-là. Nous sommes tout autant enthousiastes par la conférencière invitée de cette année, Professeure Jane Guyer, qui présentera un discours d’ouverture intitulé «Theorizing Economies, From Elsewhere». Professeure Guyer s’appuiera sur sa vaste expérience de terrain en Afrique de l’Ouest pour poser une série de questions fascinantes sur la vie économique au sens large. Meilleurs vœux, David Nugent, Président de l’AES 6 Conference Theme: Transnational Anthropologies: Convergences and Divergences in Globalized Disciplinary Networks In an era when anthropology is increasingly attentive to transnational connections, globalized geographies, and diasporic identities, the discipline itself is subject to new and challenging forms of deterritorialization and re-territorialization. Anthropology has long been constituted by tensions between the gravitational force of its various national traditions and the pull toward an international intellectual cosmopolitanism. Yet the increasing presence of scholars from the world “periphery” in metropolitan universities, the rise to international prominence of subaltern academic centers, the deterritorialized concerns and priorities of funding institutions, and the growing transnational links between researchers, research institutions, and research subjects (among other factors) are further complicating the spatiality of anthropological practice. These shifts, in turn, are transforming the way anthropologists examine the production of power relations, inequalities, and identities in local and global arenas. The 2009 CASCA- AES conference to be held at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver calls anthropologists and scholars from across the social sciences and the humanities to offer a fresh look at the increasingly transnational nature of knowledge production, at the resilience of regionalized academic hierarchies, as well as at the different ways in which the latter are being reconstituted and subverted. Additionally, the conference welcomes volunteered papers, panels, workshops, and videos related to the internationalization of social practice, power relations, and subjectivities and to any other theme associated with ongoing anthropological questions. Thème du colloque: Anthropologies transnationales : convergences et divergences au sein de réseaux disciplinaires mondialisés À une époque où l’anthropologie est de plus en plus attentive aux rapports transnationaux, aux géographies mondialisées et aux identités diasporiques, la discipline elle-même est aussi confrontée à de nouvelles formes de déterritorialisation et de reterritorialisation. L’anthropologie s’est édifiée au fil de tensions entre la force gravitationnelle de ses diverses traditions nationales et sa tendance vers un cosmopolitisme intellectuel international. Aujourd’hui, la présence grandissante d’intellectuels issus de la périphérie mondiale dans les universités occidentales, la percée au niveau international de centres académiques du Sud global, les préoccupations et priorités déterritorialisées des organismes subventionnaires, de même que les relations transnationales croissantes entre chercheurs, institutions de recherche et sujets de recherches (entre autres facteurs), compliquent encore davantage la spatialité de la pratique anthropologique. Ces changements transforment aussi la façon dont les anthropologues examinent la production de relations de pouvoir, d’inégalités et d’identités sur les scènes locales et mondiales. Le congrès CASCA-AES 2009, qui aura lieu à l’Université de la Colombie-Britannique à Vancouver, invite les anthropologues et les chercheurs de toutes disciplines des sciences sociales et humaines à porter un regard nouveau sur la nature de plus en plus transnationale de la production du savoir, sur la résilience des hiérarchies académiques régionalisées,

  • Calendar of Roman Events

    Calendar of Roman Events

    Introduction Steve Worboys and I began this calendar in 1980 or 1981 when we discovered that the exact dates of many events survive from Roman antiquity, the most famous being the ides of March murder of Caesar. Flipping through a few books on Roman history revealed a handful of dates, and we believed that to fill every day of the year would certainly be impossible. From 1981 until 1989 I kept the calendar, adding dates as I ran across them. In 1989 I typed the list into the computer and we began again to plunder books and journals for dates, this time recording sources. Since then I have worked and reworked the Calendar, revising old entries and adding many, many more. The Roman Calendar The calendar was reformed twice, once by Caesar in 46 BC and later by Augustus in 8 BC. Each of these reforms is described in A. K. Michels’ book The Calendar of the Roman Republic. In an ordinary pre-Julian year, the number of days in each month was as follows: 29 January 31 May 29 September 28 February 29 June 31 October 31 March 31 Quintilis (July) 29 November 29 April 29 Sextilis (August) 29 December. The Romans did not number the days of the months consecutively. They reckoned backwards from three fixed points: The kalends, the nones, and the ides. The kalends is the first day of the month. For months with 31 days the nones fall on the 7th and the ides the 15th. For other months the nones fall on the 5th and the ides on the 13th.

    In but Not of the Revolution: Loyalty, Liberty, and the British Occupation of Philadelphia

    IN BUT NOT OF THE REVOLUTION: LOYALTY, LIBERTY, AND THE BRITISH OCCUPATION OF PHILADELPHIA A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Aaron Sullivan May 2014 Examining Committee Members: David Waldstreicher, Advisory Chair, Department of History Susan Klepp, Department of History Gregory Urwin, Department of History Judith Van Buskirk, External Member, SUNY Cortland © Copyright 2014 by Aaron Sullivan All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT A significant number of Pennsylvanians were not, in any meaningful sense, either revolutionaries or loyalists during the American War for Independence. Rather, they were disaffected from both sides in the imperial dispute, preferring, when possible, to avoid engagement with the Revolution altogether. The British Occupation of Philadelphia in 1777 and 1778 laid bare the extent of this popular disengagement and disinterest, as well as the dire lengths to which the Patriots would go to maintain the appearance of popular unity. Driven by a republican ideology that relied on popular consent in order to legitimate their new governments, American Patriots grew increasingly hostile, intolerant, and coercive toward those who refused to express their support for independence. By eliminating the revolutionaries’ monopoly on military force in the region, the occupation triggered a crisis for the Patriots as they saw popular support evaporate. The result was a vicious cycle of increasing alienation as the revolutionaries embraced ever more brutal measures in attempts to secure the political acquiescence and material assistance of an increasingly disaffected population. The British withdrawal in 1778, by abandoning the region’s few true loyalists and leaving many convinced that American Independence was now inevitable, shattered what little loyalism remained in the region and left the revolutionaries secure in their control of the state.

    Introduction Headlines of Nation, Subtexts of Class: Working-Class Populism and the Return of the Repressed in Neoliberal Europe

    Introduction Headlines of Nation, Subtexts of Class: Working-Class Populism and the Return of the Repressed in Neoliberal Europe Don Kalb This is a book about the emergence and spread of mostly right-wing populism in contemporary Europe. Since about 1989 neo-nationalism has grown as a volatile political force in almost all European societies. This book does not so much look at the movements, political entrepreneurs and formal ideologies, as is done by political scientists and social movement researchers. Our focus is rather on the social groups that comprise their key constituencies. In a broad sense, these are working-class people. We study them in their natural habitats – factories, offices and neighbourhoods. And we study them as they are affected by longer run processes of social change commonly associated with neoliberal globalization. This book is therefore also a book about class and class formation(s). Because of this, we also look at capital, the state and the transnational capitalist order in the making, and how these forces impact on locales and sites. We make the anthropological case that working-class neo- nationalism is the somewhat traumatic expression of material and cultural experiences of dispossession and disenfranchisement in the neoliberal epoch. We argue that such experiences cannot be so easily signified in other than nationalist ways within the new neoliberal Europe, largely because capital, the upper middle classes and political, professional and managerial elites have become ‘cosmopolitanized’ and have lost their interest in the language of class and the nationally guaranteed social rights that it entails. Their class interests do not conjoin anymore with the project of welfare-state formation.

Professor Jeffrey L. Pasley Professor Michelle Morris Professor Earnest L. Perry ACKNOWLEDMENTS I have already begun to incur many debts. First, I want to thank my parents Bill and Maggi Marden for their encouragement and unwavering love during this effort. My thanks go out to my sister, Elizabeth Mary Marden, whose good humor saw me through more than one trying moment. I want to thank the members of my committee, Dr. Jeffrey Pasley, to whose work and mind I am deeply indebted, and Dr.’s Michelle Morris and Earnest L. Perry. The feedback I received from you was indispensable. In addition, my thanks go out to the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation who are more than generous to keep their records online and free to the public. Further, the efforts of Readex to find and digitize newspaper ephemera in their Archive of Americana is absolutely brilliant and I happily count myself among the many scholars who have benefited from their efforts.

It represents both a collection of classic readers and an exciting challenge to the norms that have shaped this discipline over the past century. Each edited volume is devoted to a traditional subdiscipline of the field such as the anthropology of religion, linguistic anthropology, or medical anthropology; and provides a foundation in the canonical readings of the selected area. Aware that such subdisciplinary definitions are still widely recognized and useful – but increasingly problematic – these volumes are crafted to include a rare and invaluable perspective on social and cultural anthropology at the onset of the twenty-first century. Each text provides a selection of classic readings together with contemporary works that underscore the artificiality of subdisciplinary definitions and point students, researchers, and general readers in the new directions in which anthropology is moving.
