Ethnographies of Development and Globalization in the Philippines : Emergent Socialities and the Governing of Precarity, Hardback Book

Ethnographies of Development and Globalization in the Philippines : Emergent Socialities and the Governing of Precarity Hardback

Edited by Koki Seki

Part of the Routledge Contemporary Southeast Asia Series series

Hardback

Description

The contributors to this volume examine the actual workings and on-the-ground effects of contemporary political economic shifts in the Global South, and implications for reconfiguring social networks, conceptions and practices of governance, and burgeoning social movements.

How do various groups in the Global South respond to and manage chronic states of insecurity and precarity concomitant with contemporary globalization processes?

While drawing on diverse ethnographic viewpoints in the Philippines, the authors analyze the impact of these processes through the conceptual framework of "emergent sociality," a purported connectedness among individuals fostered through interactions, copresence, and conviviality within a community over a long duration.

In so doing, the case studies in this volume suggest, illuminate, and debate insecurities that may be commonly shared among populations in the Philippines and throughout the Global South.

This anthology will be of great interest to students and scholars of cultural anthropology, globalization and Philippines society.
