Sean Dowdy '05 Presents: “This is Jukowa”: The Ethics of Foreplay in Assam, India
April 12th
4 - 6 pm
Alumni Hall, Room 300 (Evelyn Handler Forum)
Drawing on several years of ethnographic research in Assam, this talk showcases the semiotic and pragmatic dimensions of jukowa across various pair-part interactions in order to outline their implicit and explicit ethical orientations. Locating jukowa in the present, as part of a larger trend of exhortative therapy and inter-ethnic reconciliation in post-insurgency Assam, this talk concludes with critical reflections on what both the anthropology of ethics and anthropological theories of play have overlooked and how they might be integrated into a broader study of actually existing methods of “disalienation” (in Frantz Fanon’s sense of the term) in the twenty-first century.

Post Lobby
