\nPlacemaking in a World of Movement
\nAnnika Lems<\/p>\n

\"HierarchyHIERARCHY AND VALUE<\/a>
\nComparative Perspectives on Moral Order
\nEdited by Jason Hickel and Naomi Haynes<\/p>\n

Volume 7,\u00a0Studies in Social Analysis<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Globalization promised to bring about a golden age of liberal individualism, breaking down hierarchies of kinship, caste, and gender around the world and freeing people to express their true, authentic agency. But in some places globalization has spurred the emergence of new forms of hierarchy\u2014or the reemergence of old forms\u2014as people try to reconstitute an imagined past of stable moral order. Why does this happen and how do we make sense of this phenomenon? Why do some communities see hierarchy as desirable? In this book, leading anthropologists draw on insightful ethnographic case studies from around the world to address these trends.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How might we envision animism through the lens of the \u2018anthropology of anthropology\u2019? The contributors to this volume offer compelling case studies that demonstrate how indigenous animistic practices, concepts, traditions, and ontologies are co-authored in highly reflexive ways by anthropologists and their interlocutors.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As globalization and transnational encounters intensify, people\u2019s mobility is increasingly conditioned by intimacy, ranging from love, desire, and sexual liaisons to broader family, kinship, and conjugal matters.
