Photography in the 1930s “Native" Ethnography of Yoshida Saburō
Wood Donald C.
Japanese Review of Cultural Anthropology ( Japanese Society of Cultural Anthropology ) 18 ( 1 ) 37 - 68 2017
Although much attention has been paid recently to “native" anthropology and ethnology in Japan, relatively little has been given to “native" ethnographic photography. In addition, the contributions of “native" lay researchers in the historical ethnology of Japan have not been discussed much in English. Partly to counter these imbalances, this essay explores the ethnographic photography of Akita farmer Yoshida Saburō, an adjunct member of Shibusawa Keizō's Attic Museum research society. Through a comparison with similar work by a “native" North American protégé of Franz Boas, the authority-granting power and guiding influence of the patron in such cases is clarified. Furthermore, implications for ethnographic representation in such situations of researcher liminality, and the roles that photography played in Yoshida's “native" ethnography, are elucidated. The essay concludes with a discussion of the nature and value of Yoshida's ethnographic photography, and a consideration of the theoretical implications of its interpretation and usage today, as well as a thought on one special possibility for photography in ethnographic research.

Infrastructure, morality, food and clothing, and new developments in Latin America
Wood, Donald C.
Emerald (Bingley, UK) 2022.01 ISBN: 9781801174350
Volume 41 of REA presents eleven papers—all of which passed a rigorous peer review—that explore a wide range of topics of particular interest to economic anthropology. The volume begins with a joint anthropologist-economist co-authored paper that presents a novel approach to anthropological-economic infrastructural research in England, specifically London’s Thames Tideway Tunnel. The volume’s first section consists of four investigations into topics that are tied together—to varying degrees—by two common threads: the roles of money in social ties between people, and moral concerns regarding these and other roles and uses of money in society. The section covers commercial surrogate mothers in Russia, social welfare provision in Pakistan, the management of a communal fund within a school alumni association in South Korea, and a credit scheme’s impact on women in Nigeria. Part two of this volume contains three papers that focus on basic necessities of human life—food and clothing—examining a New Zealand food security initiative that rescues “waste” food, modern transformations of a pre-owned clothing market in Hamburg, Germany, and Muslim fashion retail business in the same country’s capital city, Berlin. Finally, the volume closes with a third section that fixes an anthropological lens on contemporary developments in Latin America, analyzing the larger fair trade movement and its particular manifestations and implications in Oaxaca, Mexico, the cost-effectiveness of the reintegration of ex-combatants in Colombia, and patron-client relations in Brazil and how these have been politically perceived and presented by domestic and foreign intellectuals and academics, respectively. It is notable that although the final section of this volume might appear to be constrained by geographic concentration, it strives to connect that vast and heterogenous region into the larger world with very holistic and extensive approaches.
