August 2020Desire, Obligation, and Familial Love
Mothers, Daughters, and Communication Technology in the Tongan Diaspora
by Makiko Nishitani
Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork among Tongan migrant mothers and adult daughters in Australia, anthropologist Makiko Nishitani provides a unique account of how gifts, money, and information flow along the connections of kin and kin-like relationships. Desire, Obligation, and Familial Love challenges the conventional discourse on migration, which typically characterizes intergenerational changes from tradition to modernity, from relational to individual, and from obligation to autonomy and freedom. Rather, through an intimate examination of Tongan women’s everyday engagement with kinship relationships, Nishitani highlights how migrant women and their daughters born outside Tonga together create a field of relationships with kin and kin-like people, and navigate between individualistic, personal desires and familial duties and obligations. Their negotiations are not limited to a local frame of reference, but encompass vast distances, including relationships with relatives in places like Australia, New Zealand, the United States, and the “home” island nation. Tongan women manage these relationships across diverse modes of communication: face-to-face interactions in homes and at church, lengthy telephone conversations on fixed phone lines in kitchens, and interactions on social media accessed on living room computers shared between neighboring households. Relationships between migrant mothers and second-generation daughters are suffused with warmth and empathy, as well as tensions and misunderstandings. Nishitani’s work demonstrates the critical contemporary relevance of classical anthropological kinship studies and gift theories as tools that can help us to understand transnationalism in the “digital” age. Through reflections on feminist geography, social theory of technology, Bourdieu’s field theory, and media studies, Nishitani makes a convincing call for anthropologists to use relationships rather than geographical places as a site of anthropological fieldwork in order to understand the sociality of diasporic people. Filled with rich, intimate portrayals of diasporic women’s everyday lives and the everyday politics of familial relationships, Desire, Obligation, and Familial Love will appeal to students and scholars of the anthropology of migration, of communication technologies and social media, and of gender and familial relationships, as well as to those interested in fieldwork methodology, transnational and migration studies, and Pacific studies.

Short Story
by Manuel Giron
«The greed of those who handle the world market is too big and powerful. Speculation and money laundering cannot be stopped. Corruption is the backbone of the global financial system. And the artist is a simple buffoon who appears and disappears by the mafia’s art.» Humor and irony to enjoy!«Tamagotchi and I became extraterrestrials. It was not enough that my pet looked like a lovely puppy, moved the tail amicably or played with the rest of the dogs as one of the herd. A microship instead of a heart, and a stainless steel body was too modern for a world anchored in the past.» «Tokyo at night is extraordinary, and from the heights it looks like a huge sea of lights. Nearby and distant lights seem like drifting ships. Lights that draw the night landscape. Lights and lights that never end.» «I would like you to enjoy the "Girón World". "The journey has just begun," he would say with his mischievous smile.»Makiko Sese«Manuel Giron flirts with fiction, amazes us with his ideas, approaches and fables, while at the same time keeps his feet firmly anchored in the reality. His short stories constitute a magnificent and pleasant surprise, a compilation of ideas with an undoubted poetic background».Begoña Peris eBook

May 2019Agustine of Hippo as Doctor Pacis: Studies on Peace in the Contermporary World, Vol. 2
by Anthony Dupont, Joseph L. Grabau, Piotr M. Paciorek, Bart van Egmond, Dagmar Kiesel, Jonathan P. Yates, Paul van Geest, Matthew Drever, Pierre-Paul Walraet, Thomas R. Clemmons, Miles Hollingworth, Makiko Sato, Matthew A. Gaumer, Kevin G. Grove
Debate is ongoing about Augustine’s political philosophy, and more particularly about his views on the relations between Church and State. This volume brings together a number of contributions that examine Augustine’s theoretical views on the subject. Augustine assumed his responsibilities as a theologian and Church leader: the truth of the faith and the unity of the Church could not be compromised. He did not hesitate to appeal to the civil authorities in the pursuit of this goal. In fact, he even ventured to deploy the civil authority, the emperor, against an ecclesiastical authority such as Pope Zosimus. This appeal to the secular arm of power was inspired on the one hand by Augustine’s concern for the preservation of order and peace, and on the other by his faith in the rights of truth. Yet this aspiration of Augustine’s was not absolute either. He rejected the idea that humans should be converted forcibly, against their will. He also condemned anything that compromised the physical integrity of human beings. In short, Augustine also recognised the value of the political system. This served to safeguard the good ends of earthly life, i.e. peace and justice. But Augustine believed this earthly peace and justice were reflections of the heavenly peace and justice, which are the foundation of earthly order and stability.
