   Abstract = {How do our everyday actions shape and transform the world
             economy? This volume of original essays argues that current
             scholarship in international political economy (IPE) is too
             highly focused on powerful states and large international
             institutions. The contributors examine specific forms of
             ‘everyday' actions to demonstrate how small-scale
             actors and their decisions can shape the global economy.
             They analyse a range of seemingly ordinary or subordinate
             actors, including peasants, working classes and trade
             unions, lower-middle and middle classes, female migrant
             labourers and Eastern diasporas, and examine how they have
             agency in transforming their political and economic
             environments. This book offers a novel way of thinking about
             everyday forms of change across a range of topical issues
             including globalisation, international finance, trade,
             taxation, consumerism, labour rights and regimes. It will
             appeal to students and scholars of politics, international
             relations, political economy and sociology.},

   Abstract = {Among the signal developments of the last third of the
             twentieth century has been the emergence of a new politics
             of human rights. The transnational circulation of norms,
             networks, and representations has advanced human rights
             claims in ways that have reshaped global practices. Just as
             much as the transnational flow of capital, the new human
             rights politics are part of the phenomenon that has come to
             be termed globalization. Shifting the focus from the
             sovereignty of the nation to the rights of individuals,
             regardless of nationality, the interplay between the local
             and the global in these new human rights claims are
             fundamentally redrawing the boundaries between the rights of
             individuals, states, and the international community. Truth
             Claims brings together for the first time some of the best
             new work from a variety of disciplinary and geographic
             perspectives exploring the making of human rights claims and
             the cultural politics of their representations. All of the
             essays, whether dealing with the state and its victims,
             receptions of human rights claims, or the status of
             transnational rights claims in the era of globalization,
             explore the potentialities of an expansive humanistic
             framework. Here, the authors move beyond the terms -- and
             the limitations -- of the universalism/relativism debate
             that has so defined existing human rights
             literature.},

             form as public good. Kai Bosworth's article, ‘What is
             “affective infrastructure,”’ views political action as
             a result of infrastructure, that is, the kind of social
             infrastructure that fosters the critical affect that
             activism depends on. Beginning with an outline of the
             material-political concept of infrastructure, this essay
             engages Bosworth's theoretical formulation of affective
             infrastructure as a rubric for understanding the enduring
             progressive question of what enables and sustains
             progressive activism.},

   Abstract = {This essay brings together two different rubrics that are
             animating recent strands of critical analysis: intimacy and
             infrastructure. Its point is as simple as calling attention
             to a telephone wire—or these days, to a cell phone tower:
             that infrastructures are involved in social relations and,
             in many cases, shape the conditions for relational life.
             Intimate relations involve places—the example in this
             essay is the public latrine—or conduits— like the
             telephone or computer discussed below. But the
             infrastructure for intimacy reaches beyond the specific
             forms of the SMS or the WC. Tracing circuits of pipes and
             cables embeds intimate relations in unpredictable junctures
             of material and symbolic power.},

   Abstract = {The trilogy by Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri, Empire
             (2000), Multitude (2004), and Commonwealth (2009), is among
             the major works of political theory to emerge in this
             century, with specific relevance for anthropological
             analyses of global power. This introduction provides a
             synthetic overview of the conflicted encounter between
             anthropologists (John Kelly, Aihwa Ong, Anna Tsing, and
             Sylvia Yanagisako) and Hardt and Negri's vision that is
             staged in this thematic cluster of Focaal. It reviews the
             anthropologists' three main critiques of the Empire trilogy,
             the analysis of state and labor, the scale of analysis, and
             the ethics of global theorizing, which point to an apparent
             disciplinary rift between global ethnography and radical
             philosophy. This disciplinary rift is itself characterized
             differently by anthropologists and Michael Hardt, which I
             suggest results from different modalities for depicting
             social dynamics.},

             through an interpretation of sex shows for foreigners in
             Bangkok, Thailand. Reading these performances as both
             symptoms of, and analytical commentaries on, Western
             consumer desire, the essay suggests the 'pussy shows' parody
             the mass production that was a hallmark of Western masculine
             identity under Fordism. This reading makes a case for the
             erotic generativity of capitalism, illuminating how Western,
             post-Fordist political economy of the post-1970s generated
             demand for these erotic services in Asia and how Western,
             heterosexual masculine desire is integrated into global
             capitalist circuits. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media

             article traces the history of cross-border flows and
             shifting political economic arrangements that remapped the
             sacred geography of the city. It considers the consolidation
             of a pantheon of enchanted figures into a modern 'prosperity
             religion' that is practiced in commercial enterprises as
             well as in daily life across the country. Mapping the
             spiritual geography embodied in market shrines reveals
             changing mobilizations of local and transnational circuits
             of spiritual power in relation to the shifting national and
             transnational flows of material and cultural power. © 2008

   Abstract = {Despite clear affinities, the integration of feminism into
             the World Social Forum remains uneven, in ways reminiscent
             of well-known histories of women's movements with various
             lefts. This essay draws on observations of the 2005 WSF at
             Porto Alegre, Brazil and the 2006 African Social Forum in
             Bamako, Mali, as well as secondary literature, to explore
             the articulation of transnational feminism and the World
             Social Forum. Using concrete practices, texts, and spaces, I
             discuss different dimensions of the interaction of feminism
             with the WSF, including political norms, political
             geography, and historical trajectories. The relation between
             feminism and the WSF hinges not only on how "feminist" the
             WSF is but also on what feminists are doing and trying to do
             at the Forum.},
