This article explores how strategies of silence intersect with politics and predicaments of visibility. Contributing to historical and anthropological scholarship that asks how histories of violence shape individuals' subjective navigation of silence, it suggests that the everyday work of silence needs to be understood within historical configurations of articulation in which (in)visibility takes an important place. Situating narratives of people living with HIV in Aceh, Indonesia, within recent local and national histories of violence, it shows how their strategies of silence and (in)visibility unfold within a bureaucratic urge of transparency and a social climate of anxiety about appearances. Extending anthropological insights on silence as an often powerful presence in social life by highlighting the dynamic of the (un)spoken and (in)visible, its central argument is that silence, speech and visibility can be fruitfully analyzed on a continuum of articulation and nonarticulation.

Background: Palliative care as a specialist professional practice of care for people with advanced illness is becoming increasingly influential worldwide. This process is affected by global health inequalities as well as cultural dimensions of approaching death and practicing care in life-limiting illness. Objectives: The European Research Council-funded Globalizing Palliative Care (ENDofLIFE) project aims to understand how palliative care policies, discourses and practices are translated, adapted and reconstituted in diverse socio-cultural settings and how cultural dimensions of approaching death and local practices of care shape palliative care implementation. Methods and Analysis: Using a multi-scalar and multi-sited ethnographic approach, the project uses person-centered ethnography, participant observation, semi-structured interviewing, focus group discussions and policy and discourse analysis at transnational, national and local levels. Ethnographic case-studies are conducted in Brazil, India and Indonesia. Discussion: The globalizing palliative care project develops a novel ethnographic methodology of studying end-of-life care trajectories through long-term participant observation with individual patients and families as they manage and practice formal and informal health care in advanced illness. By analyzing how patients and families experience and navigate care over time, complemented by stakeholder interviews, the study advances critical theoretical insight into the relation between (large-scale and dynamically traveling) palliative care models, policies and discourses on the one hand and the experience and practice of palliative care in the lives of patients and informal care givers in local health care practices on the other hand. Insights are expected to benefit culturally situated palliative care policies and practices.

“…During therapeutic processes that encourage narrative reconstructions, the actual narratives created pass‐through individual and social filters. Habitually patterned modifications of attention are “narrative resources” (Mattingly 2010) that humans use to “navigate” (Samuels 2019) experience. Attentional patterning and narrative resources instilled through religious instruction influences the events identified as “more narrative than others” (Mattingly 2010, 51) and helps individuals make meaning from those events structured in sequential form.…”

Although religious worship was banned during the Khmer Rouge regime (1975–79), spiritual practices are once again flourishing in Cambodia. These include both the practices of the majority Buddhist population and a small but visible Cham Muslim minority. While popular Buddhism in Cambodia today incorporates the legacies of Hinduism and animism in the country, the majority of Cham Muslims have adopted a more orthodox version of Islam due to the influence of global proselytization. This article argues that these dominant strains of religious practice divergently train conscious attention in habitual patterns, cultivating different orientations of intentionality among Khmer Buddhist and Cham Muslim Khmer Rouge survivors. The patterns of attention encouraged by current religious practices shape the narrative organization of memory as survivors engage in an NGO‐sponsored form of psychotherapeutic “testimonial therapy.” As my ethnographic findings demonstrate, these divergent narrative constructions and their public performance reinforce different relational experiences of selfhood and engagement with supernatural others among Cambodian Buddhists and Muslims, with significant implications for perceived social belonging in contemporary society.
