Ethnography of the State 3502-ANG-11-OG
It is believed that bureaucratic institutions are not attractive field of ethnographic research, and anthropologists avoid them like the plague, looking for areas more meaningful to an outsider (Graeber 2016: 69). However, it is wrong. Analysis carried out in the convention of street-level bureaucracy (Lipsky 1980; Brodkin 2011) and human service organizations (Hasenfeld 2009; Sosin 2010) showing that paperwork like Balinese cockfights in Clifford Geertz, provides an excellent opportunity for so called “thick description”. If we unpacked everything that happens in the office we would fully understand how society works. Rules and schedules are able to encode human condition in late capitalism, the essence of social relationships, hierarchy and associated lifestyles, passions and interests. During the seminar we will look at the ethnographic state descriptions by scholars such as Geertz, Scott, Burawoy, Dunn, Verdery, Wedel, Marcus and Hochschild. We will compare analysis of the (post)communist with portrayals of the (post)colonial states and failed states with the collapses of the states from the core of the world-system (Leduff: Detroit: An American Autopsy). We will read fragments of (classic and latest) scientific works, reportages as well as watch movies and documentaries.
