Sustainably Performed: Reconciling Global Value Chain Governance And Performativity, Allison Loconto
Sustainably Performed: Reconciling Global Value Chain Governance And Performativity, Allison Loconto
Journal of Rural Social Sciences
Merging theories of performativity with Global Value Chains (GVC) analysis, I explore how standards are used within GVCs to govern interactions among actors and to perform a multiplicity of ‘sustainabilities.’ Specifically, this paper presents four case studies of certified tea production in Tanzania (i.e., the Ethical Tea Partnership, Fairtrade, Organic, and Rainforest Alliance) to reveal how visions of sustainability are enacted by different actors in each certified value chain. This analysis reveals that, while the Rainforest Alliance and Ethical Tea Partnership ‘sustainabilities’ are ‘generically’ performed,the Fairtrade andOrganic ‘sustainabilities’ are ‘effective’ in enacting multiple versions of sustainability that have facilitated changes …

The Michigan State University School Of Agrifood Governance And Technoscience: Democracy, Justice, And Sustainability In An Age Of Scientism, Marketism, And Statism, Jason Konefal, Maki Hatanaka
Journal of Rural Social Sciences
In this article, we introduce the Michigan State University (MSU) School of Agrifood Governance and Technoscience. Centered on the work of Dr. Lawrence Busch, the MSU School examines how science, the market, and the state function in food and agriculture, and possibilities to make these institutions more democratic, equitable, and just. Research by the MSU School consists of four specific foci: (1) actor-network theory and commodity studies, (2) standards, (3) third-party certification and tripartite standards regimes, and (4) supermarkets and supply chain management. We review each of these areas and discuss how the research in each contributes to democratizing science, …
A Role For Ethical Analysis In Social Research On Agrifood And Environmental Standards, Kyle Powys White, Paul B. Thompson
A Role For Ethical Analysis In Social Research On Agrifood And Environmental Standards, Kyle Powys White, Paul B. Thompson
Journal of Rural Social Sciences
Lawrence Busch claims that, although some philosophers may recognize the ethical import of standards, they do not endeavor to understand how people justify standards in social reality. The argument in this paper is that the Michigan State University (MSU) School of Agrifood Governance and Technoscience should actually be understood as fleshing out a more important role for ethicists. This argument is explored through an analysis of the MSU School’s research on standards, a reassessment of J.O. Urmson’s “On Grading,” and a review of major ethical theories, from utilitarianism to discourse ethics. The conclusion is that, though standards may be used …
Standards, Law, And Governance, Lawrence Busch
Standards, Law, And Governance, Lawrence Busch
Journal of Rural Social Sciences
The last several centuries have been marked first by a tendency toward the use of standards to standardize, and then by the use of standards to differentiate. Both have been built on the legal edifice of the state. More recently, in response to the rapid rise of neoliberalism, standardized differentiation has increased in scope and has become part of a larger Tripartite Standards Regime (TSR) consisting of standards, certifications, and accreditations. Over the last half century, the TSR has grown to cover nearly every aspect of social life. In many ways this new form of governance replaces and transmutes positive …

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 …
'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.

Mississippi Kids Count: High School Graduation Rates, Jared Fisher, Kevin Golembiewski, Abram Orlansky, Jay Willis
Delta Directions: Publications
Though national dropout rates have generally fallen over the past twenty years, almost 1.2 million students in the United States drop out of school each year, representing nearly one-third of high school students. At about 61%, Mississippi’s high school graduation rate falls slightly below the national figure, though school districts in the Mississippi Delta fare particularly poorly. Five of the ten districts with the highest four-year dropout rates in the state are located in Delta region counties: Leflore, Tallahatchie, Sunflower, Tunica, and Panola Counties.

The Effects Of Moral Obligations To Others And Others' Influence On Veterinarians' Attitudes Toward And Recommendations To Utilize Antibiotics In Feedlot Cattle, Jie-Sheng Jan, William Alex Mcintosh, H. Morgan Scott, Wesley Dean
Journal of Rural Social Sciences
Decisions to behave in particular ways depend on beliefs, social norms, perceived constraints, and attitudes. Recently, this perspective has been expanded to consider the role of moral obligations in such decisions. Largely ignored are the possible interrelations among moral obligations to significant others and significant others’ influences as they interact to affect decisions. This is of particular interest when a strong moral obligation toward a significant other is associated with strong behavioral expectations by that same significant other. We investigated the interrelations among moral obligations to, and behavioral expectations from, 11 types of significant others in the cattle feeding industry …

The Land Question And Ethnicity In The Darjeeling Hills, Swatahsiddha Sarkar
The Land Question And Ethnicity In The Darjeeling Hills, Swatahsiddha Sarkar
Journal of Rural Social Sciences
Although economic factors are often considered as essential for augmenting ethnic movements, the analytic relationship between economic issues and ethnicity is far from being clear cut. In an attempt to address the problem of ethnicity in a non-Marxist theoretical plane, most of the studies on ethnic problems inadvertently indulge such logical inconsistencies. Such a critical reading led us to conceptualize ethnicity as a lived-in category – much like the concepts of class or caste – where both the material and cultural domain of routine life congregates. With the help of a case study of the Gorkhaland movement in the Darjeeling …

[Un]Common Language: The Corporate Appropriation Of Alternative Agro-Food Frames, Alison E. Adams, Thomas E. Shriver
[Un]Common Language: The Corporate Appropriation Of Alternative Agro-Food Frames, Alison E. Adams, Thomas E. Shriver
Journal of Rural Social Sciences
Discourses and arguments regarding our increasingly globalized food system include complicated issues such as sustainability, ethical trade, localized sourcing, and food justice. However, recent research has largely glossed over how broader discursive structures can simultaneously facilitate and hinder social movement action in this area. The purpose of this study is to explore broader trends in public discourse and corporate public relations in the alternative agro-food movement (AAF). We conducted a qualitative discourse analysis to identify how powerful corporate agribusinesses use salient AAF frames in organizational literature. Our findings indicate that corporations are selectively using AAF frames to garner public support …

Spatial Contours Of Potential Biomass Crop Production: An Examination Of Variations By U.S. Region, Frank M. Howell, Jeremy R. Porter, Philip B. Mason, Troy C. Blanchard
Journal of Rural Social Sciences
The recent and projected status of energy production and consumption in the United States, resulting in substantial dependencies upon foreign oil, has continued to provide pressure on domestic energy security. All told, bio-energy systems, and biomass crop production in particular, will be important elements of national security, economic vitality, and public policy. Using biomass crop estimates based upon models developed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Department of Energy (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory, we identify potential biomass crop production zones using spatial analysis methods. The Midwest and the South are, by far, the largest regions of potential …
Place Bonding And Trust: The Case Of Feral Hog Management Surrounding Big Thicket National Preserve, Christopher J. Wynveen, Gerard T. Kyle, Gene L. Theodori
Place Bonding And Trust: The Case Of Feral Hog Management Surrounding Big Thicket National Preserve, Christopher J. Wynveen, Gerard T. Kyle, Gene L. Theodori
Journal of Rural Social Sciences
The management of feral hogs surrounding the Big Thicket National Preserve (BTNP) in Texas calls for managers and stakeholders to work together to manage resource issues. Research has indicated that place bonding can be a common ground upon which managers and stakeholders develop trust in one another to form a basis for collaborative management. However, such research has not examined the different types of trust (e.g., trust in local managers and trust in an entire agency) that exist. This investigation compared several models of trust and then sought to identify the relationship between place bonding and trust. Data were collected …

Type Iii Error In Social Problem Solving: Application Of The Analytic Hierarchy Process (Ahp), Terrence Thomas, Cihat Gunden
Journal of Rural Social Sciences
A diverse group comprising the University of Georgia, Athens; Tuskegee University; and community based organizations undertook to develop an organization modeled after a federal commission to address persistent poverty in the Black Belt Region (BBR). In spite of objective data describing poverty in the region, each stakeholder viewed the problem differently. As a result, two different legislative initiatives were designed to address the problem. Competition and disagreement among the stakeholders fueled a rush to formulate a solution without first investing sufficient effort to define the right problem. Failure to define the right problem could lead to a Type III error: …

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.
