Rubbing two sticks together produces heat and light; one What a rare mushroom can teach us about sustaining life on a fragile stick alone is just a stick. In both cases, it is friction that produces movement, planet action, effect. Challenging the widespread view that globalization invariably signifies a "clash" of cultures, anthropologist Anna Tsing here develops friction in Matsutake is the most valuable mushroom in the world—and a weed that grows its place as a metaphor for the diverse and conflicting social interactions that in human-disturbed forests across the Northern Hemisphere. Anna Lowenhaupt make up our contemporary world. Tsing’s account of these sought-after fungi offers insights into areas far beyond just mushrooms and addresses a crucial question: What manages to live in the ruins we have made? The Mushroom at the End of the World explores the She focuses on one particular "zone of awkward engagement"--the rainforests of unexpected corners of matsutake commerce, where we encounter Japanese Indonesia--where in the 1980s and the 1990s capitalist interests increasingly gourmets, capitalist traders, Hmong jungle fighters, Finnish nature guides, and reshaped the landscape not so much through corporate design as through more. These companions lead us into fungal ecologies and forest histories to awkward chains of legal and illegal entrepreneurs that wrested the land from better understand the promise of cohabitation in a time of massive human previous claimants, creating resources for distant markets. In response, devastation. The Mushroom at the End of the World delves into the relationship environmental movements arose to defend the rainforests and the communities between capitalist destruction and collaborative survival within multispecies of people who live in them. Not confined to a village, a province, or a nation, the landscapes, the prerequisite for continuing life on earth. social drama of the Indonesian rainforest includes local and national environmentalists, international science, North American investors, advocates for Brazilian rubber tappers, UN funding agencies, mountaineers, village elders, and urban students, among others--all combining in unpredictable, messy misunderstandings, but misunderstandings that sometimes work out. Providing a portfolio of methods to study global interconnections, Tsing shows how curious and creative cultural differences are in the grip of worldly encounter, and how much is overlooked in contemporary theories of the global. 9780691220550 9780691120652 $18.95 | £15.99 $35.00 | £30.00 Paperback Paperback 352 pages | 133.35mm : 203.2mm 344 pages | 152.4mm : 234.95mm 2021 2004 Social Science / Anthropology Social Science / Anthropology Princeton University Press Princeton University Press 1 Veiled Sentiments Writing Women's Worlds Honor and Poetry in a Bedouin Society Bedouin Stories Lila Abu-Lughod Lila Abu-Lughod First published in 1986, Lila Abu-Lughod’s Veiled Sentiments has become a Lila Abu-Lughod draws on anthropological and feminist insights to construct a classic ethnography in the field of anthropology. During the late 1970s and early critical ethnography of a small Awlad 'Ali Bedouin community in Egypt. She 1980s, Abu-Lughod lived with a community of Bedouins in the Western Desert explores how the telling of stories of everyday life challenges the power of of Egypt for nearly two years, studying gender relations, morality, and the oral anthropological theory to render adequately the lives of others and the way lyric poetry through which women and young men express personal feelings. feminist theory appropriates Third World women. The poems are haunting, the evocation of emotional life vivid. But Abu-Lughod’s analysis also reveals how deeply implicated poetry and sentiment are in the play of power and the maintenance of social hierarchy. What begins as a puzzle about a single poetic genre becomes a reflection on the politics of sentiment and the complexity of culture. This thirtieth anniversary edition includes a new afterword that reflects on developments both in anthropology and in the lives of this community of Awlad 'Ali Bedouins, who find themselves increasingly enmeshed in national political and social formations. The afterword ends with a personal meditation on the meaning—for all involved—of the radical experience of anthropological fieldwork and the responsibilities it entails for ethnographers. 9780520292499 9780520256514 $31.95 | £27.00 $29.95 | £25.00 Paperback Paperback 384 pages | 6in : 9in 306 pages | 6in : 9in 2016 2008 Social Science / Anthropology Social Science / Anthropology University of California Press University of California Press 2 Coming of Age in Second Life Ethnography and Virtual An Anthropologist Explores the Virtually Human Worlds A Handbook of Method Tom Boellstorff Tom Boellstorff, Bonnie Nardi, Celia Pearce, Millions of people around the world today spend portions of their lives in online virtual worlds.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Garifuna Popular Music “Renewed”: Authenticity, Tradition, and Belonging in Garifuna World Music A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology by Amy Lynn Frishkey 2016 © Copyright by Amy Lynn Frishkey 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Garifuna Popular Music “Renewed”: Authenticity, Tradition, and Belonging in Garifuna World Music by Amy Lynn Frishkey Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Roger Savage, Chair For almost thirty years, the electronically driven dance music punta rock remained the only popular music genre indigenous to the Garifuna, an African-Amerindian group based along Central America’s Caribbean coast with U.S. diasporic communities. In 2007, however, a new genre ushered in by the award-winning album Wátina (I Called Out) by Andy Palacio and the Garifuna Collective effectively displaced punta rock as the musical icon of Garifuna identity and modernity to the outside world and attained much broader appeal. What I term Garifuna World Music (GWM) arose from the vision of Belizean producer Ivan Duran and Belizean Garifuna punta rock star Palacio to import the acoustic and reflective emphases of traditional music into the commercial realm in order to promote cultural and linguistic preservation internationally. However, they also conceived the genre as a means for securing Garifuna music a foothold within the world music industry, presenting a sustainable music career as a viable option for ii Garifuna musicians for the first time. Periodic tourist witnessing of secular traditional song- dance performances has long been a component of community life, yet the effects of musically dovetailing tradition with Euro-Anglo cosmopolitan desires are newly felt.
