Disasters that Matter: Gifts of Life in the Arena of International Diplomacy by Eleni Papagaroufali

“…Politicians and journalists of the time presented these corporeal responses as "civil society's demand for brotherly rapprochement," thus underscoring the anthropological insight that contemporary identity politics is increasingly "medicalized". Taking into consideration both the medical regimes of truth that made these donations possible, and the painful political experiences lived and remembered by Greeks, Turks and Cypriots to this day, I argue that the conciliation these donors performed revealed the suspense of their faith in the reconciliatory future rather than their acceptance of restorative notions such as brotherhood and rapprochement. …”

Mémoire: on Music and Deconstruction by Alan Street

“…However, the  political consequences embodied in such modes of enquiry were largely displaced within a loosely defined 'New Musicology' throughout the 1990s as the effects of alterity became realigned with a critical programme based on individualised identity politics. The ramifications of difference continue to inform critical debate regarding the nature of musical unity (for instance, in the work of Agawu, Chua, Dubiel, Korsyn, Kramer, Morgan and others). …”

Fourier and Agriculture by Joan Roelofs

“…His works are a “whole earth catalog” of solutions to today's most intractable problems, such as agricultural labor in a democracy, environmental degradation, consumerism, loneliness, the decline of the family, the gradual disappearance of nutritious meals (and shared mealtimes), eldercare, boredom at work, unemployment, and the fragmentation of communities by “identity” politics.

Limits of political clientelism: elites’ struggles in Kuwait fragmenting politics by Rivka Azoulay, Claire Beaugrand

“…Focusing on the rivalry between former PM Nasser al-Muhammad and the powerful Ahmad al-Fahd that was played out in the open, the article analyses their strategies of co-opting contending actors in parliament and society in order to build alliances mixing sectarian and identity politics with clientelist logic. Played against the background of another fundamental trend in Kuwait, i.e. the rise of a younger generation of citizens — especially among the Bedouins — in search of new modes of politics and better access to state resources, these patronage techniques and the use of political money are proving less and less effective as scandals affect the royals’ aura of respectability. …”
