INTRODUCTION: THE FORCE OF A THOUSAND NIGHTMARES
Identities, 2006Co-Authors: Micaela Di Leonardo, Jeff MaskovskyAbstract:This Introduction provides a thematic overview of this special issue. It draws attention to the multiplicity of forces that produce new and complicated forms of oppression and exploitation in post-Cold War, post-9/11 America and provides brief descriptions of the articles collected here, highlighting their contributions to Americanist critical theory and ethnography and Anthropology in general.

We wish to thank the Society for the Anthropology of North America and the Society for Feminist Anthropology for co-inviting this session. We also thank Identities editors Jonathan Hill and Thomas Wilson for their support and encouragement and for shepherding this project through the pe...

WHAT A DIFFERENCE POLITICAL ECONOMY MAKES: Feminist Anthropology IN THE POSTMODERN ERA
Anthropological Quarterly, 1993Co-Authors: Micaela Di LeonardoAbstract:Bien que le tournant postmoderne en anthropologie ait largement ignore l'economie politique, l'analyse des genres ainsi que ses propres antecedents theoriques, il a mis en evidence un important bouleversement. La perspective post-structuraliste/postmoderne nous fait prendre conscience de la problematique des textes ethnographiques. Cette perspective peut en outre etre appliquee a l'investigation de notre production culturelle informelle. Cet essai souligne la necessite pour l'economie politique de donner sens a la perspicacite du post-structuralisme.

Revisited: Muslim Women’s agency and Feminist Anthropology of the Middle East
Contemporary Islam, 2018Co-Authors: Sertaç SehlikogluAbstract:This article locates imaginative aspects of human subjectivity as a Feminist issue by reviewing the concept of agency in the genealogy of Muslim and Middle Eastern women in anthropological and ethnographic literature. It suggests that, if Feminist scholarship of the Middle East would continue approaching to Muslim women’s agency -as it has been doing for decades-, it should do so as an epistemological question and thus expand the limits of ethnographic and analytical focus beyond the broader systems, such as family, nation, religion, and state. As an example to this proposition, the article then discusses the recent work on aspects of selfhood that escape from the structures, rules, systems, and discursive limits of life but captures imaginations, aspirations, desires, yearnings, and longings.

Work-worlds colliding: Self-reflexivity, power and emotion in organizational ethnography
Human Relations, 2014Co-Authors: Sarah Gilmore, Kate KennyAbstract:While organizational ethnographers have embraced the concept of self-reflexivity, problems remain. In this article we argue that the prevalent assumption that self-reflexivity is the sole responsibility of the individual researcher limits its scope for understanding organizations. To address this, we propose an innovative method of collective reflection that is inspired by ideas from cultural and Feminist Anthropology. The value of this method is illustrated through an analysis of two ethnographic case studies, involving a ‘pair interview’ method. This collective approach surfaced self-reflexive accounts, in which aspects of the research encounter that still tend to be downplayed within organizational ethnographies, including emotion, intersubjectivity and the operation of power dynamics, were allowed to emerge. The approach also facilitated a second contribution through the conceptualization of organizational ethnography as a unique endeavour that represents a collision between one ‘world of work’: the university, with a second: the researched organization. We find that this ‘collision’ exacerbates the emotionality of ethnographic research, highlighting the refusal of ‘researched’ organizations to be domesticated by the specific norms of academia. Our article concludes by drawing out implications for the practice of self-reflexivity within organizational ethnography.

Bringing polyphony one step further relational narratives of women from the position of difference
Women's Studies International Forum, 2014Co-Authors: Halleh GhorashiAbstract:Synopsis In this article I explore the findings of a narrative research project which created space for polyphony and shared authorship. This project is part of my long-time desire to engage with polyphonic writing as part of my academic work. In the beginning, experimental and Feminist Anthropology was the primary influence on my approach to polyphony. That approach was somewhat limited by the positioning of myself as the researcher. In this project, I tried to bring this experience one step further by sharing authorship with 15 women who participated in an intensive group interaction and writing class on biographies that I organized with a colleague. I explore the achievements and the challenges that arose from this experiment and show how it enabled three levels of polyphony: 1) producing relational multiple narratives; 2) sharing the power of authorship; and 3) providing agency and alternative voices to counter the dominant discourse.
