“…This work on marginality in relation to migration is complemented by work on marginality in relation to nationalism. A collection of new essays published in American Anthropologist ’s World Anthropologies section considers anthropological responses to the widespread nativism, nationalism, and xenophobia of the current moment (Buchowski ; de Koning and Modest ; Dominguez and Metzner ; Ganguly ; Green ; Perelman ; Rial and Grossi ; Takezawa ). Turning instead to how ideas of religious nationalism are produced, Rose Wellman () demonstrates how rituals that emphasize purity of food also by extension advocate for purity of the nation.…”

This essay reviews work produced in predominantly US cultural anthropology publications throughout 2017. It asks: What makes an anthropological inquiry timely, what sorts of relationalities command anthropological attention, and to what end? Noting our ongoing methodological commitment to long-term ethnography alongside increasingly important online forums for reaching broader publics and responding quickly to emerging issues, it expands the range of work surveyed to include some online-only short essays alongside the larger collection of traditionally published research articles. Characterized by empathic inquiry, frequently drawing on years of ethnographic and personal experience with the places, people, and other entities that we write about, and often attentive to histories at multiple scales, cultural anthropology of this moment, however published, grapples with dark times while it also offers ways of imagining other, better futures and ways of being in relation to others. Two thematic clusters organize this essay: the first considers temporality alongside mobility and sovereignty, and the second considers relationality alongside subjectivity and mediation. Together, all of these concerns-that are both of the moment and long standing-build a varied body of work that grapples with the interrelationalities that constitute power, place, and possibility. I argue that what makes an anthropological inquiry timely is the extent to which it is relationally informed and attuned to care for worlds that we inhabit and imagine, together. [year in review, sociocultural anthropology, temporality, mobility, sovereignty, relationality, subjectivity, mediation] RESUMEN Este ensayo revisa el trabajo producido en publicaciones de antropología cultural predominantemente estadounidenses durante 2017. Pregunta: ¿Qué hace la investigación antropológica oportuna, y qué tipos de relacionalidades comandan la atención antropológica, y con qué fin? Notando nuestro compromiso metodológico continuo con una etnografía de largo plazo junto a foros en línea cada vez más importantes para llegar a públicos más amplios y respondiendo rápidamente a cuestiones emergentes, expande el rango del trabajo evaluado para incluir algunos ensayos cortos sólo en línea junto a la mayor colección de artículos de investigación publicados tradicionalmente. Caracterizada por una investigación empática, frecuentemente extrayendo de años de experiencia etnográfica y personal con los lugares, la gente, y otras entidades sobre las que escribimos, y a menudo atentos a historias a escalas múltiples, la antropología cultural de este momento, independientemente de cómo sea publicada, lucha contra tiempos oscuros mientras ofrece maneras de imaginar otros, mejores futuros y formas de estar en relación con otros. Dos grupos temáticos organizan este ensayo: el primero considera temporalidad junto a movilidad y soberanía, y el segundo considera relacionalidad junto a subjetividad y mediación. Juntas, todas estas preocupaciones-que son tanto del momento como de larga d...

“…This second collection focused on personal and professional dangers facing anthropologists worldwide (Dominguez and Metzner 2017: 519). Contributors highlighted an erosion of what we might call safe spaces for anthropological work in the precarity of educational and research institutions.…”

“…About the same time, another mobilisation of anthropological engagement was afoot. The American Anthropologist was seeking quick, turn‐around commentaries on ‘What anthropologists do and have done’, in this case about ‘Nativism, nationalism and xenophobia’ (Dominguez and Metzner 2017). The request was phrased in terms of how anthropologists resist or otherwise respond to protectionist movements as regimes under which they live.…”

“…Throughout much of Southeast Asia and beyond, we are witnessing a resurgence of identity politics framed around notions of "nativeness" or "indigeneity" in opposition to "foreignness" or "otherness" (Dominguez and Metzner 2017). For example, in Myanmar and Thailand there is a rising trend among some members of the ethnic Burman and Thai Buddhist majorities towards the heightened politicization of Buddhism as an exclusive marker of the borders of national belonging (Hutt 2016;Jerryson 2011;Keyes 2016;Than 2015;Walton et al 2017).…”
