    This book analyzes the coloniality of the concept of taste that gastronomy constructed and normalized as modern. It shows how gastronomy's engagement with rationalist and aesthetic thought, and with colonial and capitalist structures, led to the desensualization, bureaucratization and racialization of its conceptualization of taste. The Coloniality of Modern Taste provides an understanding of gastronomy that moves away from the usual celebratory approach. Through a discussion of nineteenth-century gastronomic publications, this book illustrates how the gastronomic notion of taste was shaped by a number of specifically modern constraints. It compares the gastronomic approach to taste to conceptualizations of taste that emerged in other geographical and philosophical contexts to illustrate that the gastronomic approach stands out as particularly bereft of affect. The book argues that the understanding of taste constructed by gastronomic texts continues to burden the affective experience of taste, while encouraging patterns of food consumption that rely on an exploitative and unsustainable global food system. This book will appeal to students and scholars interested in cultural studies, decoloniality, affect theory, sensory studies, gastronomy and food studies

    From early sitcoms such as I Love Lucy to contemporary prime-time dramas like Scandal and How to Get Away with Murder, African Americans on television have too often been asked to portray tired stereotypes of blacks as villains, vixens, victims, and disposable minorities. In Technicolored black feminist critic Ann duCille combines cultural critique with personal reflections on growing up with the new medium of TV to examine how televisual representations of African Americans have changed over the last sixty years. Whether explaining how watching Shirley Temple led her to question her own self-worth or how televisual representation functions as a form of racial profiling, duCille traces the real-life social and political repercussions of the portrayal and presence of African Americans on television. Neither a conventional memoir nor a traditional media study, Technicolored offers one lifelong television watcher's careful, personal, and timely analysis of how television continues to shape notions of race in the American imagination.

    During the Great Depression, people from across the political spectrum sought to ground American identity in the rural know-how of “the folk.” At the same time, certain writers, filmmakers, and intellectuals combined documentary and satire into a hybrid genre that revealed the folk as an anxious product of corporate capitalism, rather than an antidote to commercial culture. In Real Folks, Sonnet Retman analyzes the invention of the folk as figures of authenticity in the political culture of the 1930s, as well as the critiques that emerged in response. Diverse artists and intellectuals—including the novelists George Schuyler and Nathanael West, the filmmaker Preston Sturges, and the anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston—illuminated the fabrication and exploitation of folk authenticity in New Deal and commercial narratives. They skewered the racist populisms that prevented interracial working-class solidarity, prophesized the patriotic function of the folk for the nation-state in crisis, and made their readers and viewers feel self-conscious about the desire for authenticity. By illuminating the subversive satirical energy of the 1930s, Retman identifies a rich cultural tradition overshadowed until now by the scholarly focus on Depression-era social realism.

    The fifth volume of “bricolage. Innsbrucker Zeitschrift für Europäische Ethnologie“ analyzes health and disease-related concepts and practices of different social groups from a socio-historical and cultural-scientific point of view. Instead of the terminology of the older “folk medicine research”, the authors orientate themselves on the concept of “medical culture(s)” as is the case in the identical research area “Cultural Encounters - Cultural Conflicts” of the University of Innsbruck. This association of humanities and social science subjects deals with different forms of cultural contact, whereby culture is understood as a dynamic system for the creation of meaning. So far, there is no anthology that does this with regard to specifically Austrian conditions and developments. The fifth volume of “bricolage” tries to fill this gap and would like to stimulate further discussion in this field of research in Austria.

    This volume examines ways of dealing with money as social and cultural forms. Empirical examples from the discipline of European Ethnology encompass modified bank notes, regional monies, Deutschmark-nostalgia, the role of pocket money in parenting, pawned money, money gifts and remittances. In all of them, money can be read as a means of social positioning, as a way of negotiating belonging, as biographical self-emancipation and as social inclusion and exclusion. The case studies share one aim: by deconstructing economic as social practices, the economy as such can be anthropologized (Paul Rabinow), i.e. stripped off its allegedly self-evident universal claim and revealed in its culturally, socially and historically specific functions.

    The sixth volume of "bricolage. Innsbruck Journal of European Ethnology" is dedicated to the explosive urban policy issue of cleanliness – order – security, terms that in German merge into the acronym “SOS” (Sauberkeit, Ordnung, Sicherheit). Security in public spaces has become a central agenda of current urban policy and urban planning. Municipalities are increasingly implementing measures oriented toward the guiding principle of the "clean and orderly city". The current discourses and developments require observation and reflection; the relevant debates demand critical cultural studies involvement. The idea and initiative to dedicate this issue of "bricolage" to a critical examination of historically and currently propagated and accepted notions of cleanliness, order, and safety in the city, and of the political concepts and measures currently relying on them, came from Johanna Rolshoven. In the context of a course in Innsbruck in the summer term of 2009, she motivated the students to think and write about this field of her urban research. The sixth volume of "bricolage.

    ”Yuck!" - we involuntarily disgust ourselves with what could be harmful to us and threatens us. Disgust protects - one might think. But disgust is more. It's not only a physiological response, it's also a cultural achievement. Disgust plays a colorful role in many contexts as interpersonal behaviors and perceptions. In this volume disgust has been ethnographically explored and appears as a cultural player. The authors are looking for places such as hospital wards, public toilets, sailing ships or video booths, they address innards, pranks and rites de passage.

    Volume four of “bricolage. Innsbrucker Zeitschrift für Europäische Ethnologie “ focuses on the color gray. Special attention is paid to the interactions between color as a quality of perception and the quality of cultural objectivations. Our "eye knowledge" of colors is created by dealing with traditional modes of perception and the meanings of things, images and behavioral patterns, myths, stereotypes and more, in short: with the objective culture. In this sense, “objective color” is not a quality that is inherent in natural phenomena independently of humans. It is shaped by culture and, in turn, can shape culture. The "World 3" (Karl R. Popper) of color is therefore the focus of our interest, to which the papers in this volume want to contribute from various disciplinary perspectives. In addition to well-known and respected scholars from Germany, Austria and Sweden - in line with the profile of “bricolage” as a publication organ for young academics - young academics are also given the possibility to publish their first texts.

    POP - with this motto, the present volume reaches out to a dazzling dimension of everyday culture and approaches it in a series of detailed studies. Subjects include the goa techno scene, Internet memes, fan fiction, Game of Thrones, dumpster diving, and veganism. The contributions are by students and are based on undergraduate papers that emerged from a two-semester seminar that combined an introduction to the concepts of British cultural studies with an ethnographic fieldwork exercise. A methodological paper by J. Bonz on ethnographic fieldwork, which also emerged from the seminar, complements the studies. The student articles are framed by three contributions from renowned popular culture researchers: S. Egger writes about Beyoncé Knowles from the point of view of aesthetic social critique, C. Bareither about communalizing emotional practices, and M. Tauschek gives an overview of popular culture research in the discourse of European Ethnology in conversation with S. Mauler. As a special extra, the volume includes a stretch of 29 photographs by B. Ludewig on the topic of contemporary avant-garde festivals.

    Cinematic Independence traces the emergence, demise, and rebirth of big-screen film exhibition in Nigeria. Film companies flocked to Nigeria in the years following independence, beginning a long history of interventions by Hollywood and corporate America. The 1980s and 1990s saw a shuttering of cinemas, which were almost entirely replaced by television and direct-to-video movies. However, after 1999, the exhibition sector was revitalized with the construction of multiplexes. Cinematic Independence is about the periods that straddle this disappearing act: the immediate decades bracketing independence in 1960, and the years after 1999. At stake is the Nigerian postcolony’s role in global debates about the future of the movie theater. That it was eventually resurrected in the flashy form of the multiplex is not simply an achievement of commercial real estate, but also a testament to cinema’s persistence—its capacity to stave off annihilation or, in this case, come back from the dead.

    In the late nineteenth century, if ethnologists in the United States recognized African American culture, they often perceived it as something to be overcome and left behind. At the same time, they were committed to salvaging “disappearing” Native American culture by curating objects, narrating practices, and recording languages. In Anthropology and the Racial Politics of Culture, Lee D. Baker examines theories of race and culture developed by American anthropologists during the late nineteenth century and early twentieth. He investigates the role that ethnologists played in creating a racial politics of culture in which Indians had a culture worthy of preservation and exhibition while African Americans did not.

    Baker argues that the concept of culture developed by ethnologists to understand American Indian languages and customs in the nineteenth century formed the basis of the anthropological concept of race eventually used to confront “the Negro problem” in the twentieth century. As he explores the implications of anthropology’s different approaches to African Americans and Native Americans, and the field’s different but overlapping theories of race and culture, Baker delves into the careers of prominent anthropologists and ethnologists, including James Mooney Jr., Frederic W. Putnam, Daniel G. Brinton, and Franz Boas. His analysis takes into account not only scientific societies, journals, museums, and universities, but also the development of sociology in the United States, African American and Native American activists and intellectuals, philanthropy, the media, and government entities from the Bureau of Indian Affairs to the Supreme Court. In Anthropology and the Racial Politics of Culture, Baker tells how anthropology has both responded to and helped shape ideas about race and culture in the United States, and how its ideas have been appropriated (and misappropriated) to wildly different ends.

  19. The Indian Craze : Primitivism, Modernism, and Transculturation in American Art, 1890–1915

    In the early twentieth century, Native American baskets, blankets, and bowls could be purchased from department stores, “Indian stores,” dealers, and the U.S. government’s Indian schools. Men and women across the United States indulged in a widespread passion for collecting Native American art, which they displayed in domestic nooks called “Indian corners.” Elizabeth Hutchinson identifies this collecting as part of a larger “Indian craze” and links it to other activities such as the inclusion of Native American artifacts in art exhibitions sponsored by museums, arts and crafts societies, and World’s Fairs, and the use of indigenous handicrafts as models for non-Native artists exploring formal abstraction and emerging notions of artistic subjectivity. She argues that the Indian craze convinced policymakers that art was an aspect of “traditional” Native culture worth preserving, an attitude that continues to influence popular attitudes and federal legislation.

    Illustrating her argument with images culled from late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century publications, Hutchinson revises the standard history of the mainstream interest in Native American material culture as “art.” While many locate the development of this cross-cultural interest in the Southwest after the First World War, Hutchinson reveals that it began earlier and spread across the nation from west to east and from reservation to metropolis. She demonstrates that artists, teachers, and critics associated with the development of American modernism, including Arthur Wesley Dow and Gertrude Käsebier, were inspired by Native art. Native artists were also able to achieve some recognition as modern artists, as Hutchinson shows through her discussion of the Winnebago painter and educator Angel DeCora. By taking a transcultural approach, Hutchinson transforms our understanding of the role of Native Americans in modernist culture.

    Textilzirkel waren laienkünstlerische Gruppierungen, die in der DDR als Teil des so genannten "künstlerischen Volksschaffens" staatlich gefördert wurden. In ihrer Freizeit gestalteten und fertigten die Gruppen Kleidung, Souvenirs und Heimtextilien sowie Wandbehänge und Textilbilder für den Eigenbedarf oder für öffentliche Einrichtungen und gesellschaftliche Anlässe. Im Fokus dieser kulturwissenschaftlichen Arbeit stehen die KünstlerInnen, ihre Arbeitsweisen und die in den Gruppen entstandenen Werke. Durch eine Kombination aus Interviews, historischen Bild- und Textquellen sowie den materiellen Objekten wird ein umfassendes Gesamtbild der Textilzirkel gezeichnet. Dabei wird der kulturpolitische Hintergrund beleuchtet und die strukturellen sowie künstlerischen Entwicklungen im Laufe der Jahrzehnte reflektiert. Sie widerspiegeln zugleich den kulturellen und gesellschaftlichen Wandel innerhalb der DDR. In einem Ausblick wird der Verbleib der textilkünstlerischen Gruppierungen nach der Wiedervereinigung betrachtet.

    In rural China funerals are conducted locally, on village land by village elders. But in urban areas, people have neither land for burials nor elder relatives to conduct funerals. Chinese urbanization, which has increased drastically in recent decades, involves the creation of cemeteries, state-run funeral homes, and small private funerary businesses. The Funeral of Mr. Wang examines social change in urbanizing China through the lens of funerals, the funerary industry, and practices of memorialization. It analyzes changes in family life, patterns of urban sociality, transformations in economic relations, the politics of memorialization, and the echoes of these changes in beliefs about the dead and ghosts.

    As an undergraduate at Brown University, Tyler Denmead founded New Urban Arts, a nationally recognized arts and humanities program primarily for young people of color in Providence, Rhode Island. Along with its positive impact, New Urban Arts, under his leadership, became entangled in Providence's urban renewal efforts that harmed the very youth it served. As in many deindustrialized cities, Providence's leaders viewed arts, culture, and creativity as a means to drive property development and attract young, educated, and affluent white people, such as Denmead, to economically and culturally kick-start the city. In The Creative Underclass, Denmead critically examines how New Urban Arts and similar organizations can become enmeshed in circumstances where young people, including himself, become visible once the city can leverage their creativity to benefit economic revitalization and gentrification. He points to the creative cultural practices that young people of color from low-income communities use to resist their subjectification as members of an underclass, which, along with redistributive economic policies, can be deployed as an effective means with which to both oppose gentrification and better serve the youth who have become emblematic of urban creativity.

    Decolonizing Native Histories is an interdisciplinary collection that grapples with the racial and ethnic politics of knowledge production and indigenous activism in the Americas. It analyzes the relationship of language to power and empowerment, and advocates for collaborations between community members, scholars, and activists that prioritize the rights of Native peoples to decide how their knowledge is used. The contributors—academics and activists, indigenous and nonindigenous, from disciplines including history, anthropology, linguistics, and political science—explore the challenges of decolonization.

    These wide-ranging case studies consider how language, the law, and the archive have historically served as instruments of colonialism and how they can be creatively transformed in constructing autonomy. The collection highlights points of commonality and solidarity across geographical, cultural, and linguistic boundaries and also reflects deep distinctions between North and South. Decolonizing Native Histories looks at Native histories and narratives in an internationally comparative context, with the hope that international collaboration and understanding of local histories will foster new possibilities for indigenous mobilization and an increasingly decolonized future.
