Signs of Sovereignty: Mapping and Countermapping at an “Unwritten” Border -- Epilogue: The Ironies of Misrecognition -- Contributors -- IndexAround the world, border walls and nationalisms are on the rise as people express the desire to 'take back' sovereignty. The contributors to this collection use ethnographic research in disputed and exceptional places to study sovereignty claims from the ground up. While it might immediately seem that citizens desire a stronger state, the cases of compromised, contested, or failed sovereignty in this volume point instead to political imaginations beyond the state form. Examples from Spain to Afghanistan and from Western Sahara to Taiwan show how calls to take back control or to bring back order are best understood as longings for sovereign agency.Cornell scholarship online.SovereigntySovereignty.320.15Bryant Rebecca(Professor of anthropology),Reeves MadeleineStDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910554222003321The everyday lives of sovereignty2818778UNINA
