New Publication: "Saving: Towards a Feminist Reckoning" in Feminist Anthropology

4/29/2022

This paper is included in a special issue of Feminist Anthropology on "Keywords: A Feminist Vocabulary." 

Abstract: Lila Abu-Lughod suggested saving as a keyword twenty years ago by imploring feminist anthropologists to “be wary” of saving discourses and actions, especially when they appear in a sympathetic form. Heeding this call in a sustained way remains a crucial task. Being wary of saving in a systematic way investigates what gives it broad-reaching appeal and power; how and where saving rhetoric is wielded by diverse agents; and why and how particular life-forms are deemed worthy of protection while many others are not. Being wary of saving supports reflexive considerations of how saving discourses operate within anthropology broadly, and feminist anthropology specifically, toward clarifying what an otherwise world “beyond” or “without” saving could look like.
