  • INTRODUCTION FIELDWORK, ETHNOGRAPHY, and the HISTORY of RELIGIONS FRANK J. KOROM in Their Introductory Chapter to Anthropologica
    INTRODUCTION FIELDWORK, ETHNOGRAPHY, AND THE HISTORY OF RELIGIONS FRANKJ. KOROM In their introductory chapter to Anthropological Locations, Gupta and Ferguson cite two imperatives that distinguish anthropology from other disciplines. It is their first imperative that is relevant to our discussion here: The first imperative follows from the way the idea of "the field" func- tions in the micropolitical academic practices through which anthropo- logical work is distinguished from work in related disciplines such as history, sociology, political science, literature and literary criticism, reli- gious studies, and (especially) cultural studies. The difference between anthropology and these other disciplines, it would be widely agreed, lies less in the topics studied (which, after all, overlap substantially) than in the distinctive method anthropologists employ, namely fieldwork based on participant observation. (1997: 2) Little were they aware that historians of religions were grappling with the same problem of participant observation years earlier than the publication cited above in a special issue of the Journal of Ritual Studies (1988). Recent accusations against anthropologists abusing their privileged position in the field to exploit consultants for personal gain raise important questions for reflection that go beyond the discipline of anthropology. Darkness in El Dorado, Patrick Tierney's recent and controversial book concerning the ill effects of applied ethnography and epidemiological research on the Yanomama of Venezuela, calls for a renewed interest in the ethics and politics of fieldwork. Whether Tierney's investigative journalism is accurate or not-and there are lingering questions on this, as reported by John Noble Wilford in The New York Times (2000)-his assault on the profession forces all of us within academe to rethink our own work and its broader socio-politi- cal implications.

Erickson* Visiting Scholar, John King Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies, Harvard University Professor of Strategy, United States Naval War College [email protected] * The views expressed in this article are those of the author alone, who welcomes all possible comments and suggestions for improvement via <http://www.andrewerickson.com/contact/>. They do not represent the estimates or policies of the U.S. Navy or any other organization of the U.S. Government. The highlight of Joseph Gavin Jr’s distinguished career as an aerospace engineer and leader was serving as Apollo Lunar Module (LM) Program Director from 1962-72. Gavin believed the Apollo Program “would be the biggest engineering job of history. bigger than building the pyramids or inventing the airplane and would take every ounce of ingenuity. to pull off.” In it, Gavin led as many as 7,500 employees in developing the LM and ultimately building twelve operational vehicles. All met mission requirements, and those that were used worked every time. “For the 1960s, that was the place to be, that was the program to be involved with,” he later reflected. “As tough as it was, none of us would have chosen not to be there.” Developing the state-of-the-art machine required multiple unprecedented innovations and maximization of reliability amid inherently imperfect testing conditions. When congratulated on the success of each LM landing, Gavin typically replied that he would not be happy until his spacecraft and its crew got off the moon.

  • Security Without War a Post-Cold War Foreign Policy
    SECURITY WITHOUT WAR A POST-COLD WAR FOREIGN POLICY Michael H. Shuman and Hal Harvey With a Foreward by Senator Paul Simon Westview Press Boulder • San Francisco • Oxford You will say at once that although the abolition of war has been the dream of man for centuries, every proposition to that end has been promptly discarded as impossible and fantastic. Every cynic, every pessimist, every adventurer, every swashbuckler in the world has always disclaimed its feasibility....But now the tremendous and present evolution of nuclear and other potentials of destruction has suddenly taken the problem away from its primary consideration as a moral and spiritual question and brought it abreast of scientific realism. It is no longer an ethical equation to be pondered solely by learned philosophers and ecclesiastics but a hard core one for the decision of the masses whose survival is the issue. – General Douglas MacArthur, 1955 CONTENTS Foreward, Senator Paul Simon Acknowledgments Introduction (n/a) Cold War Policies in a Post-Cold-War World Toward a New View of Security Organization of the Book Part I.

  • The Space Race Documented Through Front Pages of Newspapers from Around North America
    The News Frontier The Space Race documented through front pages of newspapers from around North America Newspapers and patches generously donated to the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center by Jerrid Kenney After the end of World War II, a new battle began: the Cold War. In the mid-20th century, the United States and the Soviet Union were each trying to prove they were better than the other. Both sides wanted to show the superiority of their technology, military, and, by extension, their political systems. Starting in the late 1950s, the battlefront reached space. The United States and the Soviet Union fought to first achieve milestones in space exploration—starting in 1957 with the Soviet Union’s launch of Sputnik I, continuing through the U.S.’s landing astronauts on the Moon in 1969, and ending with a handshake in space between American astronauts and Soviet cosmonauts in 1975. Witness the fight for extraterrestrial might by reading about the United States and the Soviet Union’s major feats of the Space Race, as recorded in American and Canadian newspapers in real time.
