Making Markets and Constructing Crises: A Review of Ho’s Liquidated Abstract This book review is a beginning academic researcher’s interpretation of the robust methods and rich data Ho presents in her study of investment banking culture and the market in Liquidated: An Ethnography of Wall Street (2009). A unique contribution of the text is Ho’s combining of ethnographic methods in order to practice polymorphous engagement in her study. A weakness of the text is Ho’s lacking autoethnographic analysis of her experience as an Asian American woman on Wall Street. The book will be helpful for a scholarly audience interested in studying rigorous ethnographic methodologies and exploring the culture of Wall Street.

My interest in understanding the transformations in women’s experiences in male-dominated professions began when I was a child in the seventies, listening to my grandmother tell me stories about her own experiences as one of the only women at the University of Penn- sylvania Law School in the twenties. I also remember hearing my mother, as I grew up, speaking about women’s rights, as well as visiting my father and grandfather at their law office in midtown Manhattan: there, while still in elementary school, I spoke to the sole female lawyer in the firm about her career. My interests in women and gender studies only grew during my time as an undergraduate at Barnard College.

Reintegrating Theories, Methods, and Historical Analysis in Teaching Sociology
Am Soc (2018) 49:369–391 https://doi.org/10.1007/s12108-018-9375-3 Reintegrating Theories, Methods, and Historical Analysis in Teaching Sociology Roberta Garner1 & Blackhawk Hancock1 Published online: 3 May 2018 # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract We discuss ways of bringing theory and methods into conversation with each other within courses and across the sociology curriculum. Theory is often taught completely separately from research methods, which in turn are simplistically divided into quantitative and qualitative. To counter this fragmented approach to the discipline we discuss two major paradigms, a social-forces paradigm often linked to quantitative research and an interpretive paradigm often linked to qualitative inquiry. Butatadeeperlevelbothparadigmsrequirean understanding of historical context. The relationship between these two paradigms and more familiar categories of theory such as "functionalism" and "conflict theories" is not straightforward. We conclude the discussion by describing classroom-tested strategies that help students explore the complexity of the linkages between theories and empirical inquiry. Keywords Sociological theory. Research methods . Paradigms . Social forces . Interpretive analysis . Teaching sociology “Theory creates the objects”—Javier Auyero; “It is theory that decides what we can observe”—attributed to Albert Einstein. In this paper, we discuss ways of bringing theory and methods into conversations with each other within courses and across the sociology curriculum, to create a more stimulating, challenging, and coherent learning environment for students. Instead of separating theory from methods, and further dividing quantitative from qualitative methods, instructors can build connections among them, link them to the analysis of historical contexts, and provide insights into the foundations of the discipline.

Fischer Renewable Ethnography (Expanded Vers)
for Horizontes Antropológicos (Brazil, in Portuguese), 2009 special issue on Ethnography, ed. Cornelia Eckert Renewable Ethnography: Ethnographic Pebbles & Labyrinths in the Way of Theory Michael M.J. Fischer Introduction:1 Ethnography is not what it was, nor was it ever Beyond the door I hear the click of computer keys under voices weaving German and English into a web of nervous patter. I already know the drift of this day’s whispers: the British report on climate change, a cry of fire in a crowded theater with no exits. Suddenly they’re worried: we’re killing the planet. Surprise. 1 NOTE: The following essay was written originally at the invitation of George Marcus and James Faubion as a preface for their book, Ethnography is not what it used to be, (Cornell University Press 2009). The book intends to raise questions both about how to write ethnographies today and how to teach graduate students. The book emerged from a workshop that Marcus convened at his new Center for Ethnography at the University of California, Irvine. Having recently moved from Rice University, he invited six recent Ph.D.s from the Rice department who had been mentored there by Jim Faubion and himself, plus two others connected to Rice, one a former Rice Ph.D., and the other a new Rice faculty member. At a later stage I was invited to contribute a preface, as I had been part of a previous incarnation of the Rice department and a mentor to the latter two essay writers. As I read through the draft essays, I reacted both positively and negatively: very positively to the on-going research efforts, and a little negatively to the rhetoric of caricaturing earlier modes of fieldwork, writing ethnographies, or constructing anthropological theories.

Occupy Economic Anthropology1, 2
Presentación OCCUPY ECONomIC ANTHropoloGY1, 2 F RIEDERIKE F LEISCHER * [email protected] Universidad de los Andes, Bogotá, Colombia DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7440/antipoda17.2013.02 he 2008 global financial crisis sparked a significant questioning of economic policies around the world. Anglo- 17 phone free-market defenders have embraced Keynesian interventions to guide and control markets and economic practices. Whereas the fall of the Berlin Wall appeared to have given (near) global reign to neoliberal politico-eco- nomic thinking, governments have now been attributed a new role, via bail- outs and supervising legislature for financial institutions. Not satisfied with the one-sided, i.e., business-saving, government measures, in 2011 the Occupy T 3 protests erupted, first in the U.S. and later in other parts of the globe. While the movement is heterogeneous, a connecting principal concern is the belief that large corporations and the global financial systems control the world in a way that disproportionately benefits a minority, undermines democracy, and is generally unstable. The movement gained much popularity through its empha- sis on the large and increasing wealth gap in the U.S. The slogan “We are the 99%” also took aim at the fact that the majority of people affected by the crisis * Ph.D., City University of New York, Estados Unidos. 1 The title of this text is taken from Maurer (2012). 2 I would like to thank Claudia Steiner, general editor of ANTIPODA until May 2013, and Monica Espinosa, the new general editor of the journal, for their enthusiasm and continuous support throughout this project.
