Presentation transcript:

Some Nicaraguan Lives: The Impact of Revolution …in certain areas—especially in the realm of gender and sexuality—the revolutionary vision was sometimes quite myopic; elements of the Sandinista block were in serious disagreement over some feminist goals (Lancaster 21)

Items Look at the main themes of the ethnography from an anthropological point of view: form/content and theory/method Exercise questions Review for first exam

Form/content and theory/method Interpretive anthropology: redirects ethnography from causality to interpretation Impact on research methodology and form/content: the subject matter (exotic) and the medium (monograph) Experimental ethnographies: inclusive, many voices Form as important as content

The Teaching of Don Juan Carlos Castaneda (1968) Experiencing otherness: hallucinogenic drug: Peyote No ways of monitoring and evaluation

Ethn… need to be: Well research Accountable to many audiences Inclusive Innovative, experimental Novel Convincing Critical of traditional of shortcomings of the past

Lancaster’s theory and method Both traditional and innovative Traditional: old paradigm- Neo-marxist approach, method: participant observation Innovative: multi-vocal and multi-form Challenges traditional marxist theory subjectivity

Main themes Collapse of the Sandinista Revolution The centrality of machismo and gender relations Outside pressure and internal crisis

Machismo Production of machismo through a social construction (cochon) Cross-cultural comparison: homosexual versus cochon Desmoche: power and personal life

Methodology Experimental: form and content Subjective: experiential Interpretive: base on analysis, honest

Two main arguments Feminist:Sandinistas failed because they ignored gender relations Gay studies: homophobia undermined the revolution

Critique His reflexivity is only partial

Study Questions What are the main themes running through “Life is Hard”? Explain, give examples. How can one represent a culture such as the Nicaraguan without misrepresenting or exaggerating, or reducing cultural practices to causality? How do you think one can evaluate or monitor the veracity of the information presented in “Life is Hard? What are the main differences between the notion of cochon in Nicaragua and the notion of homosexual in North America? Why is it important to pinpoint such differences?
