SF 2013-14 Department of Sociology Senior Freshman GENDER, CULTURE AND SOCIETY (10 credits) ANTHROPOLOGY OF GENDER (5 credits) 12-week module (October-December) Dr. Barbara Bradby INTRODUCTION This course aims to look at the meaning of gender in different cultures. It therefore covers work both on the material division of labour, power and property between the sexes, and on how gender is understood as a symbolic system. A central question posed by feminist anthropologists has been whether patriarchy, or the subordination of women, is a universal feature of social organisation. The debates over this question have gone on to raise issues of structure and agency which will be familiar from sociological debates. We pursue these questions through work on relations between men and women in diverse societies – the Australian Aborigines, the Trobriand Islanders, contemporary Morocco, the Andean peoples of Peru and Bolivia, as well as other case-studies. The course is not one where for ‘gender’ one can read ‘women’, but also looks critically at male roles across different cultures. The question arises, for instance, of whether male violence against women in non-western cultures can or should be read in the same way as such violence in our own society. Such debates have given rise to the recent concern with gender as one of a multiplicity of differences that upset the centrality of cultural difference in traditional anthropology. Anthropologists have at the same time begun to question their own methods of researching and writing as never before, to see themselves as ‘authors’ rather than ‘scientists’, and their works as texts growing out of the relationship between coloniser and colonised. The autobiography of the researcher and the influence of the researcher in the research process have become explicit topics of the ‘reflexive’ movement in ethnography. Whilst some would argue that feminist anthropology had anticipated many of these features of the ‘postmodernist turn’, it is not clear that reflexive anthropology has reciprocated feminism’s interest in gender as a feature of the research process. Some recent writings by men reflecting on the role of gender and sexuality in their fieldwork, while responding in some part to this criticism, also show up the necessity for a more serious discussion of these issues in the teaching and practice of ethnography. Books to buy: A useful overview of many of the issues covered in this course is provided by: Henrietta Moore, Feminism and Anthropology (Polity Press, 1988) A collection of readings, many of which are listed in this handout, is: Brettell, C B. & Sargent, C. F. Gender in Cross-Cultural Perspective (Prentice Hall, 2000) Another recent collection, containing several readings from the course is: Helen Lewin, ed. Feminist Anthropology, a Reader (Blackwell Press, 2006) 1 Films/dvd’s. I shall be showing a video of the Trobriand Islanders in week 2 of the course. Copies are also available in the library, at Berkeley Multimedia, LEN MUL A 1176;1. I shall also be showing some of the first series of Tribe, which was put out on BBC2 in 2005. Since then there have been two more series of Tribe, which are collected in a box set, available in the library at Berkeley Multimedia, LEN MUL A 440 Teaching on the course will be by means of two lectures and one seminar per week. The lectures will be given by Dr. Barbara Bradby. If you wish to see me about any matter to do with the course, my office hours are as follows during term time: Wednesdays 10 -11am Room 2.07, 3-4 College Green. My email address is [email protected] The Teaching Assistant on this course is Yaqoub BouAynaya. He will be arranging and facilitating the seminars that will take place weekly for students in groups of around 20. If you wish to make an appointment to see Yaqoub BouAynaya, please contact him by email, at [email protected] NB. No students will be allowed to sign up for presentations after the end of the 4th week of Michaelmas term, i.e Friday, October 19th. This is a strict deadline which will be adhered to. Students who do not sign up for presentations by that date with Yaqoub BouAynaya, Teaching Assistant on the course, will forfeit the 10% of the grade for the module that is allocated to the seminar presentation. Assessment on this half of the course will be by coursework only and will involve three elements: 1) a seminar facilitation in groups of 2 or 3 students (20%) 2) a group project (80%) 3) a negative mark for incomplete seminar attendance (you forfeit 5 marks if you miss more than 3 out of 10 seminars, i.e a 57 becomes a 52, a 69 becomes a 64, and so on.) Group project guidelines will be given out after seminar groups after the final date for registering for seminar and facilitation groups (Oct 19th). Note: The second half of Gender, Culture and Society, entitled Subcultures and Gender, begins in January and will be assessed by examination in May-June. Students taking both halves of Gender, Culture and Society will receive an overall grade which is averaged between the mark for Anthropology of Gender (facilitation + group project) and the mark for the second half of the course (examination mark 80% + seminar facilitation mark 20% ). Visiting students (both Erasmus and International students) who take the second half of the course are expected to stay in Ireland for the whole of the examination period, and to take the exam. in order to get credit for the second half of the course. Learning outcomes. By the end of the course, students should: 1) have an understanding of the variety of gender arrangements in different societies. 2) have a critical understanding of how theories of gender as a social arrangement differ from notions of gender as a natural attribute. 3) have an understanding of structuralist theories of the subordination or exchange of women, as well as being able to assess them critically in the light of evidence of women’s agency. 4) have thought about ways in which researchers influence the field they claim to be studying, and about researcher reflexivity in relation to gender. 2 MICHAELMAS TERM, WEEK ONE 1 Kinship and ‘the Exchange of Women’ Wednesday lecture *** Gayle Rubin, ‘The Traffic in Women’, in Rayna Reiter (ed.), Toward an Anthropology of Women (1975) ** Claude Lévi-Strauss, ‘The Family’ in Harry Schapiro (ed.)

This is a helpful tool to understanding anthropological books and articles. We will reflect on our own family structures and on ways in which they may be changing. We may also look at examples of ‘famous’ families, or families as we ‘know’ them through popular culture such as soap operas.

    Diane Bell, the Ngarrindjeri and the Hindmarsh Island Affair: 'Value-Free'

    Diane Bell, the Ngarrindjeri and the Hindmarsh Island Affair: ‘Value-free’ ethnography Richard Kimber NgaRRiNDJeRi WURRUWARRIN: a world that is, was, and will be (1998). By Diane Bell, M elbourne 1998. Pp. 688.$29.95. It was my pleasure to be present at the launch of NgaRRiNDjeRi WURRUWARRIN in Alice Springs in 1998. Professor Diane Bell and I had had intermittent friendly associa­ tions almost from the commencement of her fieldwork in central Australia over two decades ago. By sheer chance, at the very moment she recognised me in a local coffee shop and reintroduced herself, I was recommending a PhD student to read her Daugh­ ters of the Dreaming (1993 edition). She kindly invited us to what transpired to be a very successful launch. This friendly association of over twenty years, together with my respect for her hard years of work in central Australia, have made it difficult to review the book in question. Some friends might feel that they are obliged to write a glowing tribute, others that they should make an honest attempt to be objective, and to make constructive criticism. I have taken the latter stance, and trust that an honest hard- edged appraisal is preferable to sycophantic approval. The initial appearance and feel of the book is appealing. Even though I found the mix of upper and lower case in the title word NgaRRiNDjeRi irritating, and wondered at the choice of this spelling instead of Narrinyeri, anyone with even the vaguest under­ standing of Ngarrindjeri country would appreciate Muriel Van Der Byl's cover illustra­ tion of a pelican against the background of sun, sand-dunes and water.

    THESIS POLYGAMY ON THE WEB: AN ONLINE COMMUNITY FOR AN UNCONVENTIONAL PRACTICE Submitted by Kristen Sweet-McFarling Department of Anthropology In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2014 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Lynn Kwiatkowski Cindy Griffin Barbara Hawthorne Copyright by Kristen Sweet-McFarling 2014 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT POLYGAMY ON THE WEB: AN ONLINE COMMUNITY FOR AN UNCONVENTIONAL PRACTICE This thesis is a virtual ethnographic study of a polygamy website consisting of one chat room, several discussion boards, and polygamy related information and links. The findings of this research are based on the interactions and activities of women and men on the polygamy website. The research addressed the following questions: 1) what are individuals using the website for? 2) What are website members communicating about? 3) How are individuals using the website to search for polygamous relationships? 4) Are website members forming connections and meeting people offline through the use of the website? 5) Do members of the website perceive the Internet to be affecting the contemporary practice of polygamy in the U.S.? This research focused more on the desire to create a polygamous relationship rather than established polygamous marriages and kinship networks. This study found that since the naturalization of monogamous heterosexual marriage and the nuclear family has occurred in the U.S., due to a number of historical, social, cultural, political, and economic factors, the Internet can provide a means to denaturalize these concepts and provide a space for the expression and support of counter discourses of marriage, like polygamy.

    Indigenous Relationality: Women, Kinship and the Law

    Article Indigenous Relationality: Women, Kinship and the Law Patricia Dudgeon 1,* and Abigail Bray 2 1 School of Indigenous Studies, The University of Western Australia, Crawley WA 6009, Australia 2 Independent Researcher, London N7 8AN, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +61-86-488-3428 Received: 19 February 2019; Accepted: 23 April 2019; Published: 26 April 2019 Abstract: Strong female governance has always been central to one of the world’s oldest existing culturally diverse, harmonious, sustainable, and democratic societies. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women’s governance of a country twice the size of Europe is based on complex laws which regulate relationships to country, family, community, culture and spirituality. These laws are passed down through generations and describe kinship systems which encompass sophisticated relations to the more-than-human. This article explores Indigenous kinship as an expression of re- lationality, culturally specific and complex Indigenous knowledge systems which are founded on a connection to the land. Although Indigenous Australian women’s kinships have been disrupted through dispossession from the lands they belong to, the forced removal of their children across generations, and the destruction of their culture, community and kinship networks, the survival of Indigenous women’s knowledge systems have supported the restoration of Indigenous relational- ity. The strengthening of Indigenous women’s kinship is explored as a source of social and emo-

    Thursday 20 July at 12.30Pm, Emerita Professor Diane Bell Will Speak on ‘Post-Factual Scholarship: Lessons on Lying, Hindmarsh Island, and “Secret Women’S Business”’

    Thursday 20 July at 12.30pm, Emerita Professor Diane Bell will speak on ‘Post-factual scholarship: Lessons on lying, Hindmarsh Island, and “secret women’s business”’. This will be held in the Conference Room of the NLA. In these so-called post-factual times, whither scholarship? By way of exploring the proposition that ‘facts matter’ and that our responsibility as scholars is to speak out, I trace the narrative of accusations that Ngarrindjeri women deliberately fabricated a sacred story, one restricted to certain women, to thwart development on Hindmarsh Island in South Australia. That was 1995. The women have been vindicated, the state has apologised, the site is registered and Ngarrindjeri Native Title is set to be handed over in September. It has taken decades, dedication, and determination of many to get this far but the damage that has flowed from the liar label is immense. The legacy lingers for Ngarrindjeri and expert advocates of an unpalatable truth: women have knowledge that is restricted by considerations of age, kinship, ceremony and aptitude. The label ‘secret women’s business’ has a genealogy and I’ll offer comparative material from my work in the central desert in the 1970s and 80s. It’s a long game. The stakes are high. But I know scholarship can and is shifting the narrative. Emerita Professor Bell is a feminist anthropologist who has worked with the Ngarrindjeri for over two decades. In the foreword to the second edition of her award-winning monograph, Ngarrindjeri Wurruwarrin: A world that is, was, and will be, she traces the consolidation of the Ngarrindjeri nation in the post-Hindmarsh era.

On every step of this journey, I have had support from sources too numerous to name, which I seek to acknowledge here, even though I will inevitably fail to list them all. My dissertation research stands on the shoulders of intellectual giants whose work has laid the foundations upon which I build. I am grateful to scholars of transnational families, including Rhacel Salazar Parreñas, Dierdre McKay, Laura Merla, Loretta Baldassar, and many others. In particular, I owe a special debt to Leisy Ábrego’s powerful sociological investigation of the experiences of children and parents in cross-border Salvadoran families. Numerous scholars of language and social life have influenced my thinking as well, but I have been especially inspired by the work of Norma Mendoza Denton, whose skillful weaving together of linguistic analyses and ethnographic insights I have tried to echo here.

    Introduction: Achievement and Its Social Life

    Introduction Achievement and Its Social Life Nicholas J. Long and Henrietta L. Moore It’s a rainy winter’s day in Atlanta, Georgia, and a weary anthropologist is heading for his fl ight. Th e subway train is lit a sickly yellow, and the fi gures in the carriage huddle into the corners of their seats, hands in their pockets and coats zipped up to the neck. It’s the kind of journey on which even a quick, friendly smile could make all the diff erence. At fi rst no one looks back. Th ey focus their eyes on their knees, the fl oor, a point somewhere just outside the window. Th en somebody meets his gaze – not exactly a reciprocation; a scowl. He turns away. Th e journey drags on. But throughout, there is one person who is ready to lock eyes with him. She takes this train every day. She’s a smiling, confi dent, attractive middle-aged woman and she’s up there, on the wall. She’s written a book – it’s about how to unlock the secrets of success and how to be ‘a winner’ every single moment of every single day. She’d love the people on the train to read it. It could help them. Th ey could unlock they potential. But, for today at least, none of the other passengers seem able to bring themselves to look at her. He changes trains. A preacher is on the platform. Th e crowd needs to be warned – they might think we know what it means to ‘achieve’ – having a great job, a great salary, a great house, a great relationship.
