«De muchas luchas»: vacas, vaqueros y el proceso de producción de carne al sur de los Estados Unidos by Alejandro Ponce de León-Calero

“…Al atender a los encuentros materiales, discursivos, y afectivos en la medida en que estos hacen cuerpos, el texto ofrece una mirada a la producción ganadera en la que esta, más que una secuencia de prácticas dirigidas hacia la producción de carne, se entrevé como una acumulación de contactos, fricciones y rupturas. En este sentido, se plantean una serie de reflexiones sobre las maneras en que se compone la vida y la muerte animal a través de los procesos productivos contemporáneos.…”

Ackee and saltfish vs. amalá con quimbombó? A note on Sidney Mintz’ contribution to the historical anthropology of African American cultures by Stephan Palmié

“…Specifically, I argue that the opposition recently voiced by some Africanist historians against the so-called « rapid early synthesis » model developed by Sidney Mintz and Richard Price not just misinterprets the theoretical issues at hand, but foregrounds highly problematic, and ultimately ahistorical, notions of « Africanity ». Contrasting Cuban and North American conceptual linkages between « Africanity » and « racial identity », and surveying the emergent North American literature on « culinary Pan-Africanism » in light of theories of cultural property, I suggest that it is time we transcended the terms in which the debate between so-called « creolists » and « New Revisionists » has been framed.…”

Welfare Conditionality and Social Identity Effect Mechanisms and the Case of Immigrant Support by Lena von Deylen, Philipp C. Wichardt
