The Mythic Method At Work In The Travel Writing Of Bruce Chatwin, Paul Theroux, And V.S. Naipaul, Benjamin Bryant Sloan
The Mythic Method At Work In The Travel Writing Of Bruce Chatwin, Paul Theroux, And V.S. Naipaul, Benjamin Bryant Sloan
Honors Theses
Bruce Chatwin, Paul Theroux, and V.S. Naipaul travel to remove what V.S. Naipaul calls their “area of darkness," by which he means those places in the world and places within themselves that are unexplored firsthand. They are much more interested in subjective impressions of the world than objective representations. In fact, these writers strive for subjectivity. But with subjectivity comes doubt and chaos, and a tool that these authors use to order their worlds and their works is the mythic method. All three of these writers are highly influenced by literary modernism and by sources across the ages, but in …

The Best Intentions: The Failure Of International Intervention In The Bosnian Genocide, James Michael Buchanan
Honors Theses
I have so many people to thank for helping me through this grueling process. The first and foremost is my Thesis Mentor, Dr. Jacob Kathman. Without his advice and prodding, I never could have turned a “piece of garbage” into a decent scholarly work. I also need to express my gratitude to Dr. Gispen, who has been pushing me to exceed my expectations since my Freshman year. Dr. Schenck: Thank you so much for answering all ofmy incessant questions throughout this arduous process. I have really appreciated it. Dr. Allen, thank you so much for agreeing to help me with …
Assessing Rule-Based Governance Mechanisms In An Era Of Scientism, Maki Hatanaka
Assessing Rule-Based Governance Mechanisms In An Era Of Scientism, Maki Hatanaka
Journal of Rural Social Sciences
With neoliberal reforms and economic globalization, much of the regulation of food and agriculture is shifting from the state to the private sphere. Building on Busch’s work on science, the state, and the market, this paper examines the ways in which the governance of food and agriculture has become increasingly scientized with the use of third-party certification (TPC). TPC is a rule-based governance mechanism that consists of technical rules and procedures, which are based on scientific norms and practices. Using longitudinal research on an organic shrimp project in Indonesia, this paper examines the practices of TPC. Specifically, the focus is …

A Chinese Case Study In Using Psychoanalysis For Ethnography, Maris Boyd Gillette
A Chinese Case Study In Using Psychoanalysis For Ethnography, Maris Boyd Gillette
Southern Anthropologist
In this article I explore a surprising conversation that I had with a Chinese Muslim woman named Sheng Lanying. Her persistent tendency to see images of Mao that were no longer present led me to examine how personal, emotional meanings informed her experience of nation-building. After providing basic historical context about the Chinese revolution, I present the conversation between Sheng and me. Then I discuss how anthropologists can use, and have used, psychoanalysis for ethnography. I next apply the psychoanalytic approach that I find most useful to Sheng’s memories. I conclude with a discussion of what anthropologists can gain from …

How Memory Affects Sense Of Self: Stories Of Traumatic Brain Injury, Leah Smith
How Memory Affects Sense Of Self: Stories Of Traumatic Brain Injury, Leah Smith
Southern Anthropologist
(2010 Undergraduate Prize Winner.) How does memory affect sense of self? For traumatic brain injury (TBI) survivors, memory has a large impact on sense of self. Some cannot remember who they were before the injury and have to rely on others’ memories or photographs to reinvent their sense of self. Others can remember who they were before the accident, but feel they are vastly different than their old self. How do TBI survivors negotiate reconstructing identities and sense of self when memories play a disconnecting role? Through this process, storytelling can help survivors recreate a sense of self that is …
Memory-Keepers: An Ethnographic Look At Female Agency Among Italian-Americans, Hannah Burgwyn
Memory-Keepers: An Ethnographic Look At Female Agency Among Italian-Americans, Hannah Burgwyn
Southern Anthropologist
(2010 Undergraduate Prize Winner.) While doing ethnographic research in Bayonne New Jersey among my extended Italian-American family over the summer of 2008 I began to see how deeply memories were valued within Italian-American communities. From fall 2008 to fall 2009, I continued my research in Asheville and Chapel Hill, North Carolina, also with people of Italian ancestry. These interviews supported the idea that memory aids in the construction and maintenance of Italian-American identity and works as a defining feature of female agency within the community. While studying gender roles of Italian-American women it became apparent that an important aspect of …
'You Have To Go North To Find The South': Situating Central Florida In The South For Birth Research, Erica Gibson
'You Have To Go North To Find The South': Situating Central Florida In The South For Birth Research, Erica Gibson
Southern Anthropologist
This paper reports on situating Central Florida as a part of the South for birth research among midwives, a physician, and their clients. A comparison is made between historical and modern beliefs about what is represented by Southern values and ideals, and how the women and birth practitioners in this study do or do not conform to those ideals.
'I Know You!': Understanding Racial Experience And Racial Practice Within The Lumbee Indian Community, David S. Lowry
'I Know You!': Understanding Racial Experience And Racial Practice Within The Lumbee Indian Community, David S. Lowry
Southern Anthropologist
Over the past three centuries, academic and public discussions of race have been divided into two distinct spheres: an understanding of race as “blood” and, alternatively, an understanding of race as that which is defined by visualization of human phenotype. In contemporary anthropological and Native American research, scholars of Native America have been mostly concerned with communities that are defined by blood. These scholars have presumed that notions of blood (or “blood quantum”) ought to structure how we (as scholars) discuss Native American existence. These scholars have, subsequently, ignored the notion that Native American peoples still live in large numbers …
Disrupted But Not Destroyed: Fictive-Kinship Networks Among Black Educators In Post-Katrina New Orleans, Daniella Ann Cook
Disrupted But Not Destroyed: Fictive-Kinship Networks Among Black Educators In Post-Katrina New Orleans, Daniella Ann Cook
Southern Anthropologist
Drawing on Adkins’ (1997) notion of reform as colonization and using ethnographic data from African American teachers in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, this article discusses how black educators’ fictive-kinship (Fordham 1996, Chatters, Taylor, and Jayadoky 1994, Stack 1976) networks have been altered in the changing landscape of reform. I argue that the importance of fictive-kinship relationships among educators and students was ignored in school-reform efforts in post-Katrina New Orleans. Post-Katrina school reforms disrupted, but did not destroy, these fictive-kinship networks. I discuss three themes: (1) fictive-kinship networks created before Katrina cultivated an environment centered on cooperation, collaboration, and solidarity, …

A Gis-Based Analysis Of Chickasaw Settlement In Northeast Mississippi: 1650-1840, Wendy Cegiellski
A Gis-Based Analysis Of Chickasaw Settlement In Northeast Mississippi: 1650-1840, Wendy Cegiellski
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
During the early colonial period in the Southeast, the Chickasaw were remarkably successful in their negotiations with Europeans. By the mid-eighteenth-century, their position had been weakened. These changes are reflected in the expansion and contraction of Chickasaw settlement. This analysis uses new temporal and locational data from a large collection of Chickasaw artifacts to create a more precise model of Chickasaw settlement changes over time employing Geographic Information Systems software (ArcGIS 9.3). This analysis also elucidates the complex links between Chickasaw movements and historical factors including warfare and economic change. Both archaeological and historical documentation are used to gain a …

Testing The Social Processing Advantage In Recognition And Reconstruction Tasks, Stephan Adair
Testing The Social Processing Advantage In Recognition And Reconstruction Tasks, Stephan Adair
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A recent study found that participants were more likely to recall words that were processed socially than when processed in other ways (Reysen & Adair, 2008). Using a similar methodology, the goal was to extend those observations. Specifically, two experiments examined the effect of social processing on participants’ ability to both recognize and reconstruct the order of list items. Participants were asked to remember a list of words with help either from a computer or, purportedly, another participant. It was hypothesized participants would be more likely to recognize list items and better at reconstructing the order of list items, if …
Talk Of 'Broken Borders' And Stone Walls: Anti-Immigrant Discourse And Legislation From California To South Carolina, Ann Kingsolver
Talk Of 'Broken Borders' And Stone Walls: Anti-Immigrant Discourse And Legislation From California To South Carolina, Ann Kingsolver
Southern Anthropologist
The anti-immigrant sentiments that propelled the passage of California Proposition 187 in 1994 – linked to an economic downturn and worries about NAFTA – have been echoed across the U.S. over the intervening sixteen years. This article briefly reviews public discourse about anti-immigrant legislation in a wave of other states from California to South Carolina, and discusses the convergence of anti-immigrant and white supremacist projects in the U.S., using the concepts of market citizenship and citizen surveillance. As new anti-immigrant legislation is proposed in the South, understanding it within its national and historical context is important. This discussion includes consideration …
Fractured Circles Of Race: A Heuristic Model For Teaching About Racial Categorization In Anthropological And Historical Perspective, Robert Shanafelt
Fractured Circles Of Race: A Heuristic Model For Teaching About Racial Categorization In Anthropological And Historical Perspective, Robert Shanafelt
Southern Anthropologist
This paper presents a heuristic model for teaching about human variation and transformations of concepts of race over time. It suggests that key aspects of the complexities related to the topic can be fruitfully discussed by making use of the image of a feedback loop between folk models and scientific models of human kinds and human variations. In order to elucidate this discussion, a brief review of the history of racial thinking and some current ideas about race, genetics, and biomedicine are also presented.

The Merciful Executioner: Spectacles Of Sexual Danger And National Reunification In The George Stinney Case, 1944, Annette Louise Bickford
The Merciful Executioner: Spectacles Of Sexual Danger And National Reunification In The George Stinney Case, 1944, Annette Louise Bickford
Southern Anthropologist
The literal and metaphoric defining of postbellum America drew on a politics of exclusion, giving wider force to struggles over national identity and citizenship encoded by race, and inflected by sexual discourses. Despite emancipation claims, men of African descent were increasingly excluded from a citizenship based on notions of “whiteness,” and this was reflected in the shift from the spectacle of vigilante lynching to the spectacular trial. I use the case of George Stinney to illustrate how juridical law, like extra-legal lynching, affirmed a national identity articulated through the legitimation and restoration of white rule, perceived to be under threat. …

Representational Crisis In Psychiatry : Corporate Hegemony And Postmodern Knowledge, James Andrew Whitaker
Representational Crisis In Psychiatry : Corporate Hegemony And Postmodern Knowledge, James Andrew Whitaker
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In this thesis, I have undertaken a sociology of knowledge study pertaining to the corporate construction of psychiatric knowledge in relation to biomedicalization. I have conceptually connected the “crisis of representation” in psychiatry with the larger alteration of knowledge within postmodernity. I have defined postmodernity as itself a more general “crisis of representation.” Both of these representational crises are viewed as emerging from the transformation of political economic realities in the course of the twentieth-century. A discussion is undertaken to explicate the nature of this transformation and its relation to previous analogous transformations. I have undertaken a content analysis study …
