Middle East
Submitted by Rodney Collins on Sat, 2008-02-23 10:48Cultural Anthropology has a twenty-year history of publishing a diversity of approaches to the wider Middle East—from North Africa to Iran to Turkey. The earliest contribution in CA’s tradition is Paul Dresch’s essay “The Flowering of Segmentation” (1988). In that pioneering essay, Dresch traces a genealogy of the idiom of ‘segmentation’ emergent from the landmark work of orientalist and religious scholar William Robertson Smith in order to evaluate the transcultural mobilization and refraction of anthropology’s conceptual instruments.

Violence
Submitted by Camar Diaz on Fri, 2007-09-21 03:40Cultural Anthropology has published a number of essays in which violence is a central theme. Some of these essays highlight how everyday life is organized around violent practices and local images of violence. See, for example, Danny Hoffman’s “The City as Barracks” (2007) and Bruce Grant’s “The Good Russian Prisoner” (2005). Other essays examine the role of media in cultural productions of violence. See, for example, Charles L. Briggs’s “Mediating Infanticide” (2007) and Anne Allison’s “Cyborg Violence” (2001).

Science and Technology Studies (STS)
Submitted by Cultural Anthro... on Mon, 2007-08-06 02:31From the outset, Cultural Anthropology has published articles engaging with science and technology. For example, an early essay of Michael M.J. Fischer's, "Scientific Dialogue and Critical Hermeneutics" (1988). The essay by Emily Martin, "The Ethnography of Natural Selection in the 1990s" and David Hess' comments capture the critical import of these topics (1994). Also available is a special issue devoted to these intersections, introduced by Daniel A. Segal's "Editor's Note: On Anthropology and/in/of Science." (2001). See also Gary Lee Downey, Joseph Dumit, and Sarah Williams' essay, "Cyborg Anthropology" (1995).
