“…It is hardly possible for a single statement to include all issues on the decolonization of knowledge everywhere and to bring all problems to light. But I miss, in Gupta and Stoolman's piece, a critical reference to the weaponization of US anthropology, that is, the continued use of academic knowledge to undertake imperialist violence and pursue imperial interests (Gonzalez, 2007; Gonzalez et al., 2019; Jorgensen & Wolf, 1970; Lutz, 2009; D. Price, 2011, 2016). This obviously does not delegitimate their description of the US academic and political scenario.…”

From decolonizing knowledge to postimperialism

To open new disciplinary imaginings, we must reinvigorate the relationship between utopian and anthropological thought. This is already underway in efforts to decolonize knowledge. Though such efforts have different emphases, they are located within a field of ideological and utopian struggles that must be understood in the context of imperialism‐colonialism, of subalternized subject positions, and of the armed and cognitive struggles that imperialism‐colonialism has entailed. Based on my Latin American positionality, I analyze the decolonization of anthropological knowledge as part of this wider field and of the discipline's history of reexamining itself. In a critical dialogue with postcolonial and decolonial thought, I propose postimperialism as a framework that aims to deimperialize the world, overcoming the hierarchical positions between hegemonic and nonhegemonic anthropologies. Moreover, a postimperial research program would entail studying how global elites’ power affects those who struggle to end an unfair regime that is destroying the planet.

“…Area studies stand as an important intervention for us and the contributors to this special issue. By area studies, we do not mean working narrowly within the legacies of Cold War social sciences of “areas” definable a priori in terms of their regional contiguities as both relativizing method and explanatory ground (Heller and McElhinny, 2017; see also Price, 2016). Instead, we seek to initiate three moves.…”

Toward a non‐binary semiotics of intersectionality: linguistic anthropology in the wake of coloniality

This special issue proposes a non‐binary semiotics of intersectionality to both draw attention to and unsettle binary participation frameworks of “the‐West‐and‐its‐others.” Contributors demonstrate how intersectionality can reconfigure scholarly approaches to the semiotic analysis of social life, expanding the bounds of the ethnographic as both genre and site of ideological work while also suggesting new stakes for conceptualizations of the personal beyond static, neoliberal presuppositions of the identity‐bearing individual. This proposed reorientation has stakes for the study of race–language co‐naturalizations in locations reflexively cast as beyond white settler‐colonial contexts. We place the study of intersectionality within the historical socius of the colonial and its prefixes (de‐, post‐, and anti‐) by engaging with the historical and material conditions of human capital and land enclosure out of which Kimberlé Crenshaw’s micro‐interactional observations emerged as originary reflections on the concept of intersectionality. Together, we consider linguistic and co(n)textual phenomena that are left out of most contemporary intersectional and critical race analyses. The authors demonstrate an array of modalities through which we can analytically separate intersectionality‐as‐method, while not assuming American monolingual racial experiences as universal.

Отже, матеріали опитування, проведеного за Гарвардським проектом, безумовно послугували підґрунтям для наукових студій американських радянологів, підготовки аналітичних записок відповідних служб із низки питань 9 . Тривалий час вони залишалися таємними.…”
