Who Represents Who? A Critical Approach to Current Lithuanian Identity Discourse

Ida Harboe Knudsen

Pub. online: 15 Oct 2009 Type: Article

Open Access

Journal: Acta Historica Universitatis Klaipedensis Volume 19 (2009): Studia Anthropologica, III: Identity Politics: Histories, Regions and Borderlands, pp. 59–68

Abstract

In this article I look at popular forms of self-representation in Lithuania, which are born out of a period of time where EUrope, EUropeanization and modernization are getting increasingly important. I argue that such discourses tend to exclude certain parts of the population and thus show a limited part of a complex picture. As I argue with an example from rural Lithuania, all Lithuanian citizens still respond to the many changes which came about with the EU and incorporate new features in their everyday life. They are, sadly enough, not the ones who get to formulate what it means to be Lithuanian in present day society.

Hegemonic Narratives and Religious Identity Politics in Contemporary Lithuania

Ingo W. Schröder

Pub. online: 15 Oct 2009 Type: Article

Open Access

Journal: Acta Historica Universitatis Klaipedensis Volume 19 (2009): Studia Anthropologica, III: Identity Politics: Histories, Regions and Borderlands, pp. 49–57

Abstract

The essay introduces the Gramscian concept of hegemony to the study of identity politics, with a special focus on the distinction established by Jean and John Comaroff between hegemony and identity. The case of Catholic identity in Lithuania is used as an illustration why identity politics tend to fail when they are perceived to serve the ends of ideology rather than creating a hegemonic consensus.

History, Power, and Identity: Amazonian Perspectives

Johathan D. Hill

Pub. online: 15 Oct 2009 Type: Article

Open Access

Journal: Acta Historica Universitatis Klaipedensis Volume 19 (2009): Studia Anthropologica, III: Identity Politics: Histories, Regions and Borderlands, pp. 25–47

Abstract

The concept of ethnogenesis offers a theoretical approach to hybridity and syncretism that finesses the tensions between “New Amazonian Ethnography” and “New Amazonian History” by simultaneously encompassing the study of indigenous ontologies and alternative constructions of history (i.e., “mytho-historical narratives”) as well as the reconstruction of history from all available sources. Ethnogenesis can be defined as a process of authentically re-making new social identities through creatively rediscovering and refashioning components of ‘tradition,’ such as oral narratives, written texts, and material artefacts. Understood in these terms, ethnogenesis allows us to explore the cultural creativity of indigenous and non-indigenous peoples alike in the making of new interpretive and political spaces that allow people to construct enduring social identities while moving forward in the globalizing nation-states of Latin America.

Living in an Overheated World: Otherness as a Universal Condition

Thomas Hylland Eriksen

Pub. online: 15 Oct 2009 Type: Article

Open Access

Journal: Acta Historica Universitatis Klaipedensis Volume 19 (2009): Studia Anthropologica, III: Identity Politics: Histories, Regions and Borderlands, pp. 9–24

Abstract

Established as a staple in studies of globalisation, the concept of the network implies that stable hierarchies and structures are giving way to nodal, multi-centred and fluid systems, and that this change takes place in numerous fields of interaction. Although the term itself is relatively uncommon, glocalisation is a standard theme in nearly all anthropological writing about globalisation as well as most of the sociological and geographical literature. Moreover, concepts describing impurity or mixing – hybridity, creolisation and so on – are specific instances of this general approach stressing the primacy of the local. The local–global dichotomy is, in other words, misleading. Bauman’s term ‘liquid modernity’ sums up this theoretical focus, which emphasises the uncertainty, risk and negotiability associated with phenomena as distinct as personal identification, economies and world climate in the ‘global era’. Ambivalence and fundamentalism in the politics of identity are seen to stem simultaneously from this fundamental uncertainty.
