Toward an Anthropology of Social Movements
Journal of Discrete Algorithms, 2001Co-Authors: Robert GibbAbstract:A review of the social movements literature reveals that social anthropologists have generally not played a prominent role in theoretical and conceptual debates within this field of research. This article argues that the 'invisibility' of social movements in Anthropology is largely attributable to the way in which Political Anthropology constructs its object, and particularly to the weakness of its concepts of politics and practice. It is concluded that the development of an Anthropology of social movements will depend, therefore, on a more general re-orientation of the discipline's approach to politics.

a vindication of simondon s Political Anthropology
Australasian Philosophical Review, 2018Co-Authors: Andrea Bardin, Pablo RodríguezAbstract:AbstractThis article questions Balibar’s claim that Simondon’s concept of the transindividual does not fulfil all the requirements (the ‘three orders of consideration’) for a materialist ‘philosophical Anthropology’. In fact, we demonstrate that Simondon’s philosophy of individuation, and notably his concept of the transindividual, can be, as it were, included in a genealogy of aleatory materialism. Simondon’s philosophy of individuation is indeed a philosophy of the transindividual insofar as it involves the constant revision of the different historical forms taken by social relations in the coevolution of human beings and their techno-social and natural milieu. Simondon’s way of conceiving anthropogenesis as an open and ‘metastable’ field in which individuals and processes relate to each other maintaining their own knowledge in motion, marks, in our view, a materialist style of thinking. Against this background we analyse Simondon’s overcoming of the dichotomy between the individual and society through ...

Power in Political Anthropology
Journal of Power, 2009Co-Authors: John GledhillAbstract:This paper reviews the development of anthropological studies of power since the 1970s. It relates anthropological work to broader trends in the social sciences, such as the pervasive influence of Foucauldian perspectives, whilst emphasising what is distinctive in anthropological approaches and contributions to wider debates. The evolution of the field is related to the broadening of Anthropology's objects of study, to its questioning of Eurocentric assumptions, to its ethnographic focus on social relations, practices and the materiality of power, and to critiques that emphasize the need to capture all the politics that are embedded in the situations that anthropologists study.
