Queer Politics In Pre And Post Independence Cameroon Through The Lens Of Weberian Political Authority, Logan Baggett Jun 2022

Queer Politics In Pre And Post Independence Cameroon Through The Lens Of Weberian Political Authority, Logan Baggett

Venture: The University of Mississippi Undergraduate Research Journal

Policy in Cameroon, and on the African continent more generally, is often summarily referred to as the result of neopatrimonial authority. This paper rejects the framework of neopatrimonial authority in Cameroon, applying Weberian notions of charismatic authority to trace the development of queer policy from the pre-colonial period to the present. This paper first analyzes the impact of European colonialism on legal language and then investigates the rhetorical defense of this legal language following independence. Since statehood, the presidencies of Ahmadou Ahidjo (1960 - 1982) and Paul Biya (1982 - ) have implemented selective enforcement of inherited legalisms through near …

Factors Explaining Variations In Covid-19 Deaths In Rural America, Don E. Albrecht Jun 2022

Factors Explaining Variations In Covid-19 Deaths In Rural America, Don E. Albrecht

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, case and death rates from the disease in rural counties were significantly lower than in urban counties. This pattern changed during the summer and fall of 2020, and by December, death rates in rural counties were higher than in urban counties. This article uses data from the U.S. Census Bureau and voting and COVID-19 data from The New York Times to explore factors related to the increase in COVID-19 deaths in rural counties in the United States. Further analysis is conducted to understand variations in death rates across different types of rural counties. Multivariate regression …

Negotiating Intersubjectivity As Methodology: Ethnographic Fieldwork And The Co-Production Of Knowledge, Brandon D. Lundy, Mark Patterson, Alex O'Neill Jun 2022

Negotiating Intersubjectivity As Methodology: Ethnographic Fieldwork And The Co-Production Of Knowledge, Brandon D. Lundy, Mark Patterson, Alex O'Neill

Proceedings of the annual meeting of the Southern Anthropological Society

How is ethnographic knowledge fashioned and impressions managed during power-laden, discursive interview events? This chapter examines ethnographic encounters with foreign investors, development workers, and government officials in Guinea-Bissau as a way to explore intersubjectivity as a site of meaning making. These encounters take place in negotiated spaces where the dynamics of the encounter are fluid and contextually sensitive. Through an analysis of the co- production of knowledge, social researchers can begin to examine intersubjectivity within the ethnographic interview as both a shared resource and a potential liability for ethnographic interlocutors. This chapter highlights some of the methodological implications of negotiating …

The Art Of Teaching Anthropology: Examples From Biological Anthropology, Susan Kirkpatrick Smith, Laura D. Lund, Marilyn R. London Jun 2022

The Art Of Teaching Anthropology: Examples From Biological Anthropology, Susan Kirkpatrick Smith, Laura D. Lund, Marilyn R. London

Proceedings of the annual meeting of the Southern Anthropological Society

Teaching in a college or university setting has many challenges, including often-inadequate preparation in graduate school and the requirement to develop new courses, often in a short period of time. Anthropology faculty are at a particular disadvantage because anthropology lacks any discipline-specific journals for the publication of articles on the scholarship of teaching and learning. Many anthropology faculty desire to have more resources available for course and assignment development. In this chapter, we present several examples of course syllabi, class activities, and a sample student paper that faculty can use as they develop or revise anthropology courses.


Does Our Being There Change What We Come To Study?, Lindsey King Jun 2022

Does Our Being There Change What We Come To Study?, Lindsey King

Proceedings of the annual meeting of the Southern Anthropological Society

While documenting an ex-voto tradition in a small Roman Catholic shrine town in Northeast Brazil where pilgrims craft mimetic offerings in payment for a spiritual healing, I began to see subtle changes in the manufacture of and interest shown in these offerings. Was this just a coincidence or did my traveling from the United States with expensive cameras and recording equipment spark this change? In this discussion, I examine the “art” of anthropology, delving into the question of how our gaze may be changing the material traditions that we travel to study and what linking changes this may bring to …


Mirror Dance: Tourists, Artists, And First People Heritage In Botswana, Jessica Stephenson Jun 2022

Mirror Dance: Tourists, Artists, And First People Heritage In Botswana, Jessica Stephenson

Proceedings of the annual meeting of the Southern Anthropological Society

Arts destined for the tourist market have long been devalued and set aside from serious study. They are considered mass-produced, artistically uninteresting, and inferior in quality. Recent scholarship counters these views; many forms of tourist art can be recognized as artistically inventive and conceptually complex authentic objects of significance to both client and artist. Here the paintings and prints created by artists affiliated with the Kuru Art Project in Botswana are considered as forms of autoethnography, after Mary Louis Pratt’s term for indigenous autobiographies created in the context of “contact zones.” Autoethnographies are received heterogeneously—in this case, as both nostalgic …


Pocahontas And Rebecca: Two Tales Of A Captive, Margaret Williamson Huber Jun 2022

Pocahontas And Rebecca: Two Tales Of A Captive, Margaret Williamson Huber

Proceedings of the annual meeting of the Southern Anthropological Society

The Jamestown colonists’ accounts of their capture of Pocahontas, her reactions to life among them, and the consequences for the success of the colony differ radically from the Mattaponi Indian oral history of the same events, published in 2007. Both versions present themselves as “true” — that is, objective reporting of real events; but the fact that each inverts the other raises questions of validity and, ultimately, of historiography in general. This paper argues that the question of veracity is irrelevant to our interpretation of these accounts. Instead, we must take them as representations of a culturally conceived reality—that is, …
