“…The Appalachian moral economy likely holds relevance for other rural communities in the U.S. that share stigma about receiving state entitlement (Sherman 2009, 2013), face barriers in maintaining economic self-sufficiency (Carpenter-Song et al, 2016), and possess limited options for behavioral healthcare (Mohatt et al, 2005). Beyond the rural U.S., this moral economy echoes scholarly discussions on the erosion of citizenship entitlements (Petryna & Follis 2015) and the anger provoked by austerity policies amid economic distress (Hansen et al, 2014; Moffatt & Noble 2015; Sherman 2009).…”

“…Being disabled, chronically ill, or depressed conflicts with an individualized ideal of personhood because of threats to self-reliance (Galvin 2002). As the welfare state has declined, public health discourses have increasingly stressed individual responsibility to manage and promote one’s own health (Galvin 2002) and state discourses and programs have required people to independently manage economic security with fewer state protections (Petryna & Follis 2015). These issues have crystallized in recent policy efforts to link receipt of Medicaid benefits to work requirements in conservative states, including Kentucky, policies that force activity upon people presumed to be less active.…”

“…These issues have crystallized in recent policy efforts to link receipt of Medicaid benefits to work requirements in conservative states, including Kentucky, policies that force activity upon people presumed to be less active. In this way, health institutions have become “core institutions’ reshaping experiences of poverty and citizenship” (Petryna & Follis 2015:409) as they evaluate claims to sickness that can entitle one to benefits.…”

Depression in a depressed area: Deservingness, mental illness, and treatment in the contemporary rural U.S.

People with mental illness face public scrutiny that provokes questions about their ability to cope, membership in society, and entitlement to state support. Less attention has been focused on how such scrutiny occurs at the community level, particularly when shared economic distress has generated a high burden of poor mental health. We employ theorizations of health-related deservingness to examine the local moral economies through which residents of an economically depressed area question who deserves to be depressed, how those with depression should cope, and what forms of treatment are sincere. Drawing on a multi-phase study (2014–2016) in Appalachian Kentucky, we analyze interviews conducted with women with depression and the health practitioners who work with them. In the rural U.S., the dim economy and scarce healthcare resources are attributed to exclusion from broader society. Naturalized as a moral response for enduring dead-end jobs and poverty, participants described how depression coping can positively demonstrate individuals’ commitment to providing for their families and mobility. However, when individuals are perceived to use depression diagnoses to access state entitlements or obtain medication as a “quick fix” that facilitates substance use, area residents question the veracity of symptoms and argue that treatment-seeking is insincere. In this way, rural moral concepts about work, entitlement, and self-sufficiency become embedded in contemporary ideas about mental health and its treatment. The tempered normalization of depression may offer possibilities for decreasing stigma and engendering conversations about patterned exclusions of rural Americans from broader U.S. prosperity. However, tense moral meanings about depression coping reveal both deepening and emergent social inequalities within rural communities. Attending to local moral economies that shape mental health deservingness is critical to understanding the complex overlaps and intersections between state, community, and family discourses.

“…Anthropologists have argued that citizenship is never simply defined through formal and legal frameworks of a sovereign state and that it "sets uneasily within those frames" (Petryna and Follis 2015, 403). Citizenship is processual, contingent, and contested and heterogeneous groups may claim rights and benefits associated with citizenship (Ong 2006a;Lazar 2013;Ticktin 2011), and citizenship -as is the case with liberal democracy -does not represent a category towards which all people universally aspire (Hindess 2004;Petryna and Follis 2015;Scott 1996).…”

Approaching Actually Existing Neoliberalisms: Citizenship, Responsibility, and (Health)care in Anthropology

Neoliberalism seems to be a ubiquitous concept, both in anthropological scholarship and in the public discourse, as global social inequalities continue to grow. In anthropology, neoliberalism has been particularly popularized in the past decade and a half, but - as is the case with most anthropological concepts - the consensus on its meaning has not been met. Furthermore, it is not rare to see neoliberalism being used in scholarship without an operational definition. Concurrently with its popularity, the concept attracted numerous criticisms. In this review article, I present a short overview of how neoliberalism has originated, then used, and criticized in anthropology and its sister disciplines such as human geography. Additionally, I focus on the transformations in the nature of the state, governance, and subjectivity that occur in late capitalism, as well as how we can approach those transformations ethnographically. The increased unavailability of welfare provision in neoliberalism has been heavily investigated in anthropology of health and care. I thus particularly discuss how the concepts of care and responsibility have been used in anthropology to that end.

A partir de 1991 se han introducido en Colombia derechos diferenciales para comunidades étnicas, generando mayores rupturas y diferenciaciones entre grupos que tienen en común una relación con la tierra. Este artículo señala que en el actual proceso de justicia transicional se reproducen diferencias equiparables, esta vez a través del concepto víctima como sujeto de reparación colectiva. Utilizando los espacios de la ley como herramienta metodológica para observar el derecho en la vida cotidiana, este artículo hace un análisis a partir del caso de una comunidad en el norte de Colombia, donde, dada su ilegibilidad como comunidad campesina, se debaten nuevas identidades ciudadanas.PA L A B R A S C L AV E | Ciudadanía, víctimas, campesinos (Thesaurus); espacios de la ley, justicia transicional, reparaciones colectivas (Autor). Reproducing Differences: The Negotiation of Citizen Identities in the Context of Transitional JusticeA B S T R AC T | Ever since differential rights for ethnic communities were introduced in the Colombian Constitution of 1991, there have been major disruptions and differentiations among groups that share a relationship with the land. This article points out that the current process of transitional justice reproduces comparable differences, in this case through the concept of victim as a subject of collective redress. Using the concept of space of law as a methodological tool with which to observe law in everyday life, the article presents an analysis done through a case of a community in northern Colombia, the negotiation of new citizenship identities, as the category of peasant is not enough for being legible before the state.
