Ethnographic conceptualism: an introduction
Laboratorium: Russian Review of Social Research. 2013. Vol. 5. No. 2. P. 4–18.
Ethnographic conceptualism refers to anthropology as a method of conceptual art but also, conversely, to the use of conceptual art as an anthropological research tool. Ethnographic conceptualism is ethnography conducted as conceptual art. This article introduces this concept and contextualizes it in art and anthropology by focusing on the following questions: What is gained by anthropology by explicitly bringing conceptualism into it? And, the other way around, what is gained by conceptualism when it is qualifi ed as “ethnographic”? What is “ethnographic” about this kind of conceptualism? What is “conceptualist” about this kind of ethnography?

In avant-garde rhetoric, as appropriated by contemporary art, the ideas of social engagement and artistic achievement have been almost identical: after art’s selfsublation, its principal goal has supposedly been social engagement. Yet despite the internalization of the avant-garde’s socially oriented legacy, the true episteme and achievement of art since the 1960s has been conceptual surplus ...

This article approaches failure through the lens of the ruination, residue, and debris that accumulated during the Soviet construction in northern Siberia. My focus is on the ambivalence of ruination and incomplete construction. I argue that debris as material and documentary product of the Soviet project is not merely an important component of the Soviet ...

Эта статья представляет собой введение в тематический раздел Этнографического обозрения по антропологии рынка в Сибири.

Главным тезисом статьи является “социальная укорененность” рынка в других формах обмена, таких как распределение ...

The experiment was described in ‘The Impact of Social Comparisons on Reciprocity’ by Gachter et al. 2012. As already shown in relevant literature from experimental economics, human decisions deviate ...

Gift relations have been traditionally theorized as antinomial to modernity or, within modernity, in the spheres of the personal relations and ideologies of altruism which dwell on the contrast with commodity and often cast themselves as residual, ‘traditional’ domains. This article explores claims to modernity that were made by public gift-giving to a modern head of state. It examines ...

Certain altruistic phenomena in the workplace that exceed the bounds of contract theory can be explained within the framework of gift exchange theory. We discuss the application of gift exchange theory to interactions between an employer and an employee as well as between employees themselves. We emphasize the opportunities of gifts to improve coordination and ...

Причины, лежащие в основе необъяснимых на первый взгляд альтруистических жестов в отношениях начальников и подчиненных, а также подчиненных между собой, могут быть объяснены в рамках теории обмена дарами (gift-exchange theory). Эта теория позволяет не только описать механизм работы неформальных соглашений между участвующими в обмене агентами, но и способствует построению стимулирующих схем вознаграждения, основанных на внутренней ...
